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...

God dammit October 14 is my birthday

"In the 2017 board meeting of the National Mining Association...Kirk promised oil and gas companies he’d fight “the myth that fossil fuels are dirty,” and target the “leftist professors” on college campuses who “perpetuated” the “myth.”"

Nuclear's comeback was never going to happen 'naturally'. People like Michael Shellenberger require fascism, dictators and safety-worsening deregulation to see their dreams realised. This new thing involves Palantir btw. How cool

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

Got this from the new leftist bookstore in my neighborhood yesterday

Climate activists often debate whether they should get involved in larger movements for justice, or whether it’s better to just “stay in their lane” of climate. The opposition to climate action is not having that debate.

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today. Charlie Kirk was no exception.

So yep here’s the truth - the head of Nvidia admits data centres will need more fossil fuels. Starmer’s plans today are completely incompatible with fighting climate change.  www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog...

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Keep cancelling your subs. Fuck them.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Well worth the read

This can't be emphasized enough. The environmental movement has for too long treated "culture war" as a separate fight, while our opponents use it to defeat us.

Please read this before the DOJ puts me on a list for it

corporations fund guys like Kirk to not only spread bullshit, but to keep the plebs fighting amongst themselves, making informed consensus and reform harder to come by. I enjoy when writers center on this fact.

Can we project this on to the moon, please.

Hopefully I don't get fired for writing this OH WAIT I'm my own boss

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today. Charlie Kirk was no exception.

Chris Wright is genuinely a con man selling climate denial to the world in order to enrich himself and his gas industry friends. This should be a much bigger story.

Hannah Einbinder after winnning an Emmy: “Go Birds and Free Palestine”

"To our untrained eye, a corn field looks more 'natural' than an array of solar panels. But a corn field is a biological desert ... Put up some solar panels, and add some plants that only need to be mowed once a year or so (sometimes with sheep) and you see an explosion of life."

This is obviously wild in how plain it is, but it's also wild how much the effort to sell gas is fully consistent with Obama, Biden, etc. policy (though the climate denial there wasn't overt!)

"Imagine if Donald Trump had nominated a Purdue Pharma executive to lead the FDA, and that executive took a multi-day, taxpayer-funded international trip to tell world leaders that the opioid epidemic not a big deal and the best way to make citizens healthier is actually to buy more Oxycontin..."

"I’ve seen a lot of coverage of Wright’s trip to Europe to sell American gas. Very little of that coverage has plainly called out Wright’s deceitful rhetoric, and none has pointed out how Wright’s rhetoric serves to enrich himself at the expense of ordinary Americans" Such a good piece here:

The first explosion happened around midnight. People in Maiduguri, Nigeria, jolted from their sleep in terror. Some fled into the streets. Sweltering weather had caused weapons in a nearby munitions store to spontaneously explode. www.thereengineer.pro/p/boom-time-...

Northeast power grid overreliant on methane, which provides 50% of electricity generation in NE, including 87% in RI. Region spends some $3 billion annually on pipelined-in methane. NE saw 67% price increase between 2024-25 due to 112% jump in price of methane. ecori.org/anti-renewab...

Would you like some good news? A new vaccine has just been approved for protecting koalas from chlamydia, which is one of their leading causes of death.

This explains it better than I can

Anyway, here are some pictures from my backpacking trip through Albania and Montenegro last month

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

If you have not seen the video I do not recommend it

Hey is it good that FEMA is suspending employees that warned publicly that the agency isn't ready to manage disasters with the peak of hurricane season two weeks away

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

There are many ways to demonstrate courage against the anti-environment authoritarian takeover. Here's one. Thank you, Bentley Hensel.

Journalists, when was the last time you scrolled TikTok? Check out this story from ‪@emorwee.bsky.social‬ about a micro-influencer engaging his followers to take climate action with videos from his summer backpacking trip to #ANWR.

This guy got 700,000+ views on TikTok begging media to cover Trump’s push to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He asked, we obliged. Read @leahgarden.bsky.social on the great lengths it can take to engage people on one of America’s most remote ecosystems:

Cool. Great

To answer the question in the headline: You quote him, period. It is not our job, nor is it appropriate, to protect the reading and listening public from the vulgarity of this president. I’m dismayed that this is even a newsroom debate in 2025. www.poynter.org/commentary/2...
