How I feel today.

“The atmosphere has a huge historical memory when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions,”said Carlos Milani, a professor of international relations at Rio de Janeiro State U’s Institute of Social and Political Studies. “What happened 30 years ago matters very much” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So many important and interesting issues raised by my @cssn.org colleagues Ruth and Omar, bringing the question of climate obstruction in the global South right up to the present moment. Key for #COP30 drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

Thank you to our guests, @profrrothschild.bsky.social, Brent Efron, and @timmonsroberts.bsky.social @climatedevlab.bsky.social!

Finally, a primer on obstruction tactics in the #UNFCCC negotiations. Just in time for #COP30. Now this is enough to fill a bingo card. #COP30 delegates and attendees: Know what you're watching! Way to go @cssn.org colleagues.

As many of you may know, a fossil fuel funded NGO is currently suing the University of Michigan to obtain my personal communications with environmental groups. I recently went on the @climateone.org podcast to talk about my work and the toll the lawsuit has taken: www.climateone.org/audio/when-c...

Come work with me and the great climate community at Brown University, incl @jenniferhadden.bsky.social @timmonsroberts.bsky.social Please share widely! Deadline Jan 9, 2026.

Talking about misinformation and the importance of journalism at public libraries feels a bit like this GIF. But I still enjoy doing it. We had a lively conversation at the Cranston Public Library last night. With a cameo appearance by @dadekian.bsky.social!

I didn't even know about this guy, and suddenly I see this video about how my lab group has been attacked by an anti-wind group and their right-wing anti-environmental lawyers. 2 minutes to tell the story; and he's got a longer version with stuff about ID-ing misinfo. youtube.com/shorts/3FgnQ...

The fossil fuel industry’s playbook: Deny. Delay. Dilute. Chapter 2 of “Climate Obstruction” shows how Big Oil reinvented obstruction for the net-zero era. Read: cssn.org/news-researc...

Now, with #COP30 just two weeks away, this is helpful! Almost enough for a bingo card. www.desmog.com/2025/10/26/b...

Wow, sweeping coverage of how the oil and gas industry is seeking to kill lawsuits by states and cities to recoup the costs they've had to spend to deal with climate change-worsened disasters. The oil majors knew the dangers of their products, and lied to us. insideclimatenews.org/news/2610202...

The Drawdown Solutions Explorer is pure Awesome. Seriously, look at it. Even you cynical bastards

"“The rules,” Mr. Trump announced, “will be written by people who love your industry.” Fascinating tale of links between libertarians, criminals, and sordid others in driving this insane crypto-economy. And how it elevated Trump. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/o...

I read this 27 pages of awfulness last night. It shows how profoundly they want to take over and reshape academia. It would simply ruin everything that makes American academia great.

If the federal government were to stop regulating greenhouse gases, it could clear the way for states and municipalities to sue companies for damages from climate change..spur individual states to come up with their own pollution limits, creating a patchwork .. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/c...

#ResistanceEarth Whales and dolphins migrate based on memory and instincts that have been finely tuned over millennia. Climate change is “scrambling these signals,” disrupting migratory routes and pushing them into more dangerous waters in search of prey. insideclimatenews.org/news/2410202...

Right here.

Another slammin’episode of @drilledmedia.bsky.social podcast, this on the animal agriculture industry and how it’s avoided climate accountability. Great job colleagues and @amywestervelt.bsky.social Also a video on YouTube! drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

This is a fabulous interview with a super-articulate communicator with passion about his subject. Bob Wyss says it clearly, and he's got no conflicts of interest, folks: Trump is lying to us: there is no such thing as #cleancoal Coal must go. Great reporting, @fitzprov.bsky.social

This is the most important development in the fight for a liveable planet in DECADES, and it comes out at just the right time to enable us to put spotlight and pressure on climate obstruction at the COP30 in Brazil. BRAVO TIMMONS AND CSSN COLLEAGUES!!!!! 🤩🌍🤩

BIG launch this week--the book is available, free, online at our @cssn.org website: cssn.org/news-researc...

The book (edited by @timmonsroberts.bsky.social and colleagues) really covers an impressive amount of ground

You guys rocked the chapter on sub-national obstruction of climate action, Josh. My class loved the chapter, read it last week.

Shazam! Another smashing episode of Season 14 of Drilled. I love how each conversation goes to places not covered in the chapters-- I'm learning a lot, and I was an editor of the book! @geoffdembicki.bsky.social @krekberg.bsky.social @drilledmedia.bsky.social drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

All that misinformation DOES have an impact. And it's leading us to terrible energy policy.

"Among them: former employees and fellows of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative group that has fought renewable energy ...[and] anti-environmentalist group Americans for Prosperity, which is backed by the fossil fuel moguls the Koch brothers." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

An important conversation. Thanks @drilledmedia.bsky.social and @aronczyk.bsky.social larger book project led by @timmonsroberts.bsky.social (Brown University), Jennifer Jacquet (University of Miami), Carlos Milani (Rio de Janeiro State University) & Christian Downie (Australian National University)

Thanks Ketan. We here at @cssn.org seek to be your Quality Content Utility. These Season 14 episodes are wonderful, interesting discussions with the chapter lead authors of the definitive Climate Obstruction, a Global Assessment, which has 110 total authors. We learned a LOT in these two years

@cssn.org people have a look.

When the UN Secretary-General is calling out PR firms for blocking action on climate change, we need to do something. My latest in @theconversation.com on PR firms and climate misinformation in Australia. theconversation.com/pr-firms-are... @anuregnet.bsky.social @anu-iceds.bsky.social @cssn.org

“‘No law’ means ‘no law’,” 'In a 161-page ruling issued on Tuesday, the judge, William G Young, a Ronald Reagan appointee, called the case “perhaps the most important ever to fall within the jurisdiction of this district court”' Amen. And Go, @aaup.org www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Seriously, I would have paid for half a plane ticket for a Rohingya to fly to NYC. This is just wrong. They can't be forgotten.

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

doh forgot to tag @jcallahanbryant.bsky.social! Complete conversation (pod ep + transcript) are here: drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

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.

SO excited that this Drilled Podcast series is LIVE! And just ahead of the release of the global assessment, the first-of-its-kind compendium of knowledge on why we are failing to do enough on climate change. Thank you @amywestervelt.bsky.social !
