🚨 New episode from @drilledmedia.bsky.social: The Media As a Tool of Climate Obstruction. @aronczyk.bsky.social and @maxboykoff.bsky.social join @amywestervelt.bsky.social to discuss why understanding the media’s role in blocking climate action is crucial to solving the crisis. buff.ly/PnGw6Jb

It’s extraordinary but not shocking that it isn’t seen as a massive story that one of the most senior politicians in Farage’s party was an active Russian agent for pay, asking questions in the European Parliament on the Kremlin’s behalf, organising pro-Russian events. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Right wingers often talk about #freedom but in reality the only freedom they believe in is the freedom of the wealthy to do whatever they want including leveraging power over others with less wealth. #Granbury #Texas @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

Published today: our new paper showing a 44-year trend of increasing global wildfire disasters (fatalities and economic losses) due to climate change-induced extreme weather. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Ok, I’m loving the starter packs! This one is for women (inclusively defined) in Ocean Science. You need more ocean 🌊 in your feed! Follow these folks. If you would like to be added please just let me know 👋 … if I forgot you, please don’t be offended, it was an accident! go.bsky.app/7MdiLgo

Got my mug. Mmmmm, that coffee tastes good!

this is sooooooo f'ing sweet. every time Sec. Chris Wright lies about the DOE Climate Working Group report, reporters cite our response.

Support climate scientists, facts, and evidence. #ClimateDisinformation threatens science as a whole.

In 14 years' time (after two more El Niños) I suspect there will be many scientists that wish they have done more to support and promote the evidence for #GlobalWarming & #ClimateChange. Far too many still keep their heads down and don't get involved because they don't directly research climate.

Experts @timmonsroberts.bsky.social @aronczyk.bsky.social and @johnfocook.bsky.social speak with @trackchangesmedia.bsky.social on the rising threat of climate disinformation in the media, solutions misinformation, and the attack on climate science and scientists themselves.

The stock market is vibing while job openings flatline—and somehow the top 1% just casually hit $52 trillion in wealth. It’s not magic. It’s stock buybacks, tax loopholes, and corporate profits are soaring while wages are still waiting to be called into the game.

My latest on The Climate Brink: Is this the most embarrassing error in the DOE Climate Working Group Report? The DOE CWG authors confuse detection and attribution with emergence.

Another excoriating article from @andrewdessler.com about the appalling mistakes in the DOE report. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/is-this-th...

AMAZING JOB ALERT!!! Dorset Council are recruiting a World Heritage Officer to support the management of the Jurassic Coast! Would suit an Earth Science graduate with an interest in digital comms and content: deets here: www.jobs.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/vacancies/32...

This below is from a 1982 newspaper article "When C02 has doubled, possibly between 2030 and 2080 depending on the rate of fossil fuel use, the average global temperature increase will be two to three degrees C." Can't say we were not warned... Breeders gonna run to the sourdough about now...

When images of glacial retreat are posted online it's amazing how many people's gut reaction is "summer vs winter!" without any consideration for latitude + light levels or knowledge of actual glaciers. #ChristianAslund #Blomstrandbreen #Svalbard

These two posts made by the same account on X illustrate the dishonesty of #ClimateChangeDeniers: 2024: "Why should the planet be cooling..." - x.com/BenjaminYumi... 2023: "The cooling since 2016 has been going as expected..." - x.com/BenjaminYumi... .

A very lovely evening with Eric Idle at the Albert Hall surrounded by emotional men in their 70s! Now I really need a rewatch of “the life of Brian”…

Family home hit in war-battered Gaza City, with children among the dead and wounded.

‼️ PAPER ALERT ‼️ We describe a new German ichthyosaur species: Eurhinosaurus mistelgauensis, from Upper Toarcian layers of Mistelgau (Bavaria). 🇩🇪 👉 Published in Fossil Record with @feikosaur.bsky.social , Jelle Heijne & Nicole Klein. Check the full article here: fr.pensoft.net/article/1542...

Isn't this the truth..

For #FossilFiday a new paper on the size change of Hopolopteryx fish during the #Cretaceous with varying ocean temperature. The study was part of the @chalksea.bsky.social project & led by Masters student, Chloe Griffiths. Well done Chloe 👏 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

1. I've long contended that austerity doesn't save money. It merely transfers costs from one group (the very rich, who would otherwise pay more tax) to others. Last night was a powerful reminder of that. Before I go further, I should say I’m fine. Just a black eye, cuts & bruises, no serious harm. 🧵

Our new book, THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, is out today! Written by Dr Dean Lomax & 49 full-colour illustrations from me – you can buy it on Amazon or from the publisher (link in bio). The fossils in this book will blow your mind! #SciArt #SciComm #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #WildlifeArt #JurassicWorld

This is excellent. www.facebook.com/reel/1729157...

Australia and its dismal, criminal, history of climate targets (1988-2025) In which Groundhog Day happens again and again, but somehow it’s just not funny or enlightening. 1/7 allouryesterdays.info/2025/09/20/a...

Happy Birthday #SyukuroManabe who was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics for contributions to the physical modeling of Earth's climate, quantifying its variability, and predictions of climate change. #StratosphericCooling

Sad to learn that #MichaelWaldman has passed away. His contributions to #palaeontology include discovering the globally important fossil site of Cladach a'Ghlinne, near Elgol on the #IsleofSkye, Scotland, UK, which exposes the #KilmaluagFormation. www.theguardian.com/science/2025... .

"One of the factors which has, perhaps, contributed to the warming up of the northern hemisphere is the increase of carbon in the atmosphere as a result of the industrialisation of the continents of Europe and America" Any takers on the year or the author? You could win a splodgy kiss...

should be interesting: Congress looking to get info from DOE CWG member about the clusterf*ck that the report was. I'm sure the DOE CWG will fight to not release any information about the process. this is how you know that the process was deeply flawed. democrats-science.house.gov/news/press-r...

apparently the DOE Climate Working Group has registered this website: ClimateWorkingGroup.com. Here it is, full of information just as interesting and relevant as the report itself.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself. Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations. That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

A reminder about the #SVP2025 workshop "Palaeoart Past and Present: the view from the UK" for those last-minute early-bird [=cheap] conference registrants! It's shaping up to be a great one-day pre-conference event: please come along if you're a #paleoart fan attending SVP!

CLIMATE CRIMINAL 🔥WAR CRIMINAL🇺🇸 TRUMP'S NOT WELCOME HERE! Fossil Free London protested yesterday inside the Royal Palace, Windsor Castle - where Trump will be hosted this week - to demand that the royals don't welcome him there. #StopTrump

This one was a lot of fun!

The Arctic winter is no longer reliably frozen ❄️ While Arctic amplification has been predicted for decades, it’s another thing to stand in it — watching ecosystems shift and field methods fail under your feet 🌧️ These are no longer future scenarios. They’re our present conditions.

Very humbled today to receive the Peter Scott Memorial Award from the #BritishNaturalistsAssociation for having made an ‘outstanding contribution to our understanding of natural history and conservation’ I don’t feel worthy but do feel very honoured #TeamFlies @nhm-london.bsky.social
