To understand how Bari Weiss might approach climate coverage at CBS, I read every climate article the Free Press has published. Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom

Bari Weiss pushed tired, false climate arguments at the Free Press. @emorwee.bsky.social warns CBS could become a far more powerful fossil fuel industry mouthpiece. open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...

The Free Press's take on climate change is not news, it's polluter propaganda--a foreboding sign for climate coverage at CBS News.

Mamdani’s win is a warning for media: Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

The speed with which salmon have returned to the Klamath - like the Elwha - after dam removal is overwhelmingly hopeful. And in both cases thanks to decades of tireless advocacy by local Tribes.

Sorry I’m a jerk! Did not see that @sammyroth.bsky.social had this story first. My fault for having my head down in this so long. Everyone subscribe to Sammy’s newsletter!

A scoop that I’m not happy to report: CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution. heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

“we are phasing out roles that are no longer aligned with our evolving priorities” doesn’t sound ominous at all. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

Just noting that @volts.wtf is on a real run of amazing interviews. I learn something every time

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Meanwhile, coal miners are scheduled to protest in front of the Department of Labor later this month because Trump had delayed enforcement of protections against silica dust, a significant factor in the rise in black lung disease

Alexa, what happens when you put a fracking executive in charge of the Department of Energy?

This shouldn't need to be said, but coal is failing in the year 2025 because it is more expensive than alternative solutions. You can't polish this lump.

My latest for HEATED is about the political nature of land defender killings and some of the people who did the tireless work of protecting their land from illegal resource extraction heated.world/p/the-politi...

“Year after year, land and environmental defenders—those protecting our forests, rivers, and lands across the world—continue to be met with unspeakable violence.” 146 environmental and land defenders were murdered or disappeared in 2024

Yeah you could say I’m a bit of a foodie

I’m at the point in my half marathon training where every long run is longer than I’ve run in ~8 years 15k on the docket this morning, wish me luck!!

Hell yeah

Some news.

And utilities LOVE spending gobs of money on outrageously expensive transmission and distribution boondoggles, even when it would be far cheaper to tap into their own customers’ solar panels and batteries www.canarymedia.com/articles/vir...

The neatest and most hilarious debunking of Trump's climate disinformation you'll see this week, courtesy of @emorwee.bsky.social 😎 open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...

Here, @russchoma.bsky.social's @motherjones.com article seems to have been plagiarised Original: www.motherjones.com/politics/202... (GREAT READ BTW) Plagiarised: archive.ph/wip/EghBx web.archive.org/web/20250923... Reddit should be auto-blocking these sites and banning the guy(s) running them

This is part of a massive generative slop / plagiarism operation seemingly being run by one dude operating a bunch of similarly designed websites - "Krishna Pathak" (not sure if actual real dude) Also being syndicated on MSN. Registered at 'paper mill' address in Wyoming GenAI is the WORST

At the UN today Trump called climate change the ‘greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.’ Congrats to the clever plotters for enlisting the planet’s glaciers, oceans and forests in their scheme.

Trump says he has implemented a rule that you're not allowed to say "coal" in the White House You can only say "clean, beautiful coal"

Thank u to everyone who spammed the Reddit post I love u guys 🥲

An article from a site called "Clean Tech Times" about Charlie Kirk and Big Oil money is trending in r/energy on Reddit It's a completely plagiarized, unauthorized, unlinked version of an article I published the day before I have no idea what to do about it except complain. It's so fucked up.

Why was the Berlin marathon so hot this year? One clear answer: fossil fuels Sunday's average temperature was 11°F higher than average. This was twice as likely by climate change, according to @climatecentral.org's Climate Shift Index

I’ve said it before and will say it again— anyone who says climate change is not relevant to people’s day-to-day lives is either lying or simply not paying attention

The Trump administration’s attacks on national parks continue This time, they’ve removed both physical signs and website mentions describing how climate change is damaging the parks Because if you remove the info, famously, the problem goes away www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

As far as I can tell no one else has yet reported (tell me if I missed something!) on the DOJ dictating what meetings NIH employees can attend, which, well, seems odd to me.

no one wants to work anymore (complimentary)

When you baselessly call LGBTQ people terrorists who murdered Charlie kirk, this is the result. people.com/charlie-kirk...
