For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate. Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

Sales of non-diesel heavy trucks in the Chinese domestic market reached 57% of the total in September. LNG truck sales are still doing well, but the growth is largely in battery trucks.

📢 The third publication from NGC is out! "Demography, dynamics and data: building confidence for simulating changes in the world's forests" was published in the @newphyt.bsky.social last week. Several #NGC colleagues are among the paper's authors💡 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Imagine a peregrine at 250kph throwing axes at you...

What happens when both your parents are "I'm going to need a diagram for this" thinkers...

Oh, this is really cool...

Cannot now remember a time before we were Finishing the Earth System Model for CMIP. Please check in on your ESM model developer friends. They might well need more chocolate...

How is this happening, that random gangs of bribed vigilantes are hunting people in the streets of formerly civilized cities? I know there is a lot to process right now, but this one got to me more than most.

Man, this has been too true for too long. And beyond, "Okay, but get a heat pump" there's also "here's how to get a heat pump" and "here's a great installer."

People can do marvellous things....

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

WTF??. I've only just appreciated this applies to *existing* visas. The US is effectively expelling its foreign non-naturalized scientists. No scientist can reasonably avoid any travel - for work, and (heaven forbid) to see family. And 100k is beyond the means of pretty much everyone.

Where is the minute's silence for these people? Where is the post from the prime minister lamenting political violence? Or is political violence only a problem when it's committed against White people? @darrenpjones.bsky.social

To stop Reform in their tracks and challenge this failing Labour government - we need to grow our team of MPs. We're planning to have brilliant candidates across England & Wales. Never been involved with politics before? That's fine. Often even ideal! Check out below. 👇🏼

Some awesome news here in NM this week. We became the first state in the country to guarantee free, UNIVERSAL childcare for ALL families! And, our Creamland Dairy workers and Teamsters Local 492 reached a labor deal ending their strike! This is what pro-family, pro-worker policies look like!

🚨🚨🚨 In the worst tradition of the McCarthy-era anti-communist House Un-American Activities Committee, the GOP House Oversight Committee has just launch a massive, grotesque, ad hominem, partisan assault on the US National Academy of Sciences. oversight.house.gov/wp-content/u...

This is a fascinating development. Lawyers: Does DOE dissolving the climate report research group and declaring the lawsuits "moot" imply that the report cannot be used as the basis for any future lawmaking? Is there also responsbility for damage from misinformation? www.law.cornell.edu/wex/moot

Wow…

I’m writing a quite important joint presentation with someone who is convinced that -more- text on slides is better, because ‘people read faster than you can talk’ and I just don’t know what to do with that…

Deadline for comment on EPA endangerment finding extended to 22 Sept. Please send a comment. Here's a good piece with some ideas, and you don't have to be a scientist to comment. blogs.law.columbia.edu/climatechang...

In the 1st half of 2025, @climate.noaa.gov 's staff were terminated, shutting down daily operations. Now, former members have joined w/ nonprofit partners to launch Climate.us, where climate info can be safeguarded from politics. Check out our website and join the effort today.

I still can’t quite believe @benmsanderson.bsky.social managed to pull this grassroots MIP-thing off (with no funding and no workshop and no CMIP infrastructure). My contribution to this paper was tbh mostly reigning in numerous more outlandish ideas, but that’s a lot of emotional labour, y’all.

“Governments should plan for the medium and longer term by viewing spending on climate finance for the poorest countries, and on development and cooperation with the developing world, in that light, perhaps even classing it under, or allied to, defence budgets.”

Election Day in Norway 🇳🇴 The outcome will have consequences for Norwegian climate governance. If the Progress party take part in a new government climate policy may be dismantled. If the Green Party+two small socialist parties gain influence on a Labour gov ambitions will increase. 1/n

Here is the starter pack you have all been waiting for: IPCC AR7 Scientists (the scientists that will write the next assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for the next few years) Thanks @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social bsky.app/starter-pack...

Finnish/Swedish pulp giant Stora Enso is also an environmental destroyer in Brazil jordensvanner.se/the-environm...

Inadvertently, this is an incredible illustration of how (a) the infrastructure required for fossil fuel extraction is bonkers and (b) how we don't consider our oil and gas to be 'destroying nature' like wind turbines simply bc it's undersea

Our director, the formidable Kristin Halvorsen, is coming to the end of her term in charge of CICERO. Some big shoes, but hopefully someone is out there with a big picture perspective on linking climate science, communication and policy who can fill them.

Can't think of anything more interesting than attending the weekly NorESM3 meeting. Creating a functioning virtual planet is a mad and beautiful thing, & depends on the seamless, ego-free collaboration of exactly the right set of brilliant & diverse minds.That we have these tools at all is a miracle

"Delegates at the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) were asked to estimate what percentage of the global population would say they were willing to give 1% of their income to help fix climate change. The average estimate was 37%, but recent research found the true figure is 69%."

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

And here's what national security leaders said about it!

To be clear, we really do not need to and should not be having to use our time 'debating' this fantastical nonsense in 2025. There are enough real bits of actual climate science to do. The collective brainpower expended on this by so many scientists could have been -much- better spent.

Nice article about the DOE report and how the scientific community is responding www.newsweek.com/why-trumps-m...

Why can't we just provide the DOI of a paper to a journal and then they can format it how they like? Like, I don't know what volume this paper was in because I'm not sitting in front of some shelves in a research library in 1992.

Thank you @andrewdessler.com for coordinating this epic effort out of nowhere in a matter of days/weeks. Also special kudos to @ecoclimatelab.bsky.social for doing a non-trivial quantity of cat-herding on the CO2 & greening chapter (quoted below). Such a ludicrous thing to have to write in 2025...

I never thought I would be spending my time explaining the scientific method to one of the most well funded research institutions in the history of humanity, but here we are. But it was so uplifting to see so many brilliant scientists provide context to every point in this thing. You guys rock.

When one is hard of hearing, the almost-universal tendency of people with the quiet voices to sit at the back of the room is impossibly awkward to navigate...

Go Team! 🇳🇴 cicero.oslo.no/en/articles/.... @glenpeters.bsky.social @benmsanderson.bsky.social @elinlb.bsky.social @janasillmann.bsky.social @mtlund.bsky.social
