As Grok slop demands ever more power from diesel generators and AI tools allow oil and gas companies to expand production, selective disclosures from big AI companies have obscured the real climate impact of their products. We need real transparency. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The cost of war is most often framed in terms of the loss of human life and economic costs. The world’s militaries also account for an estimated 5.5% of global GHG emissions, with war causing incalculable and often irreparable damage to the environment: physicsworld.com/a/the-enviro... 🧪

Scientific “AI slop” is on the rise, with complex, AI-generated language used to obscure mass-produced, low quality scholarly work. Our institutions must evolve to accommodate the rapidly changing scientific production process and maintain trust in science. 🧪 theconversation.com/what-the-hyp...

"Under high-emission scenarios, future crop yields could decrease by a quarter." The world’s ability to feed itself is increasingly under threat from extreme weather caused by climate change. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

18 higher education institutions, or 12% of UK universities now refuse to advertise roles with fossil fuel companies to their students! 🧪

BAE is bringing robot dog “Lexi” to the classroom. While pupils get the opportunity to make AI music videos with Lexi, robot dogs are routinely used on the battlefield, raising questions about arms companies normalising military tech for kids. 🧪 #STEM4Peace www.forceswatch.net/resources/ro...

Sporting events like the 2026 World Cup will feel the impacts of climate change and help drive them, not least due to flights taken by professional athletes and their supporters. 🧪 More coverage of our carbon footprint of football in Reuters and Bloomberg… www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Shell is now facing a legal case over the damage caused by Typhoon Rai. New climate attribution research finds that human-induced climate change has made an extreme weather event like Typhoon Rai 2x more likely. It’s time to make polluters pay. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🧪

Carbon capture and storage is extremely expensive, and has so far failed to make a dent in our emissions. Desperate for new ideas, Shell Australia sponsored Queensland Museum to run a “Design your own CCS” activity with children. 🤔🧪 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Science took us to the moon, mapped the human genome, and helped us to understand the impact we are having on our planet. So why do we let our advertising industry obscure the science, make climate-wrecking products seem socially acceptable, and mislead consumers through greenwashing? 🧪

Critical minerals are vital for a clean energy economy, but extracting them can come at a heavy environmental and social cost. Military stockpiling and unchecked extraction put both the environment and our long-term security at risk. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🧪

"The price of butter, beef, milk, coffee and chocolate had risen by an average of 15.6% over the year, compared with 2.8% for other food and drink." A stark reminder that climate-driven harvest failures are fuelling this cost of living crisis🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"The social responsibility of scientists, a founding principle of the World Federation of Scientific Workers (WFSW), is now more relevant than ever. To defend science today is to defend democracy itself." WFSW's statement on right-wing politics against science. 👇🧪 fmts-wfsw.org/2025/11/righ...

The UK budget confirmed that core military spending will reach 61.7bn in the current financial year (2.6% of GDP by 2027) as poverty deepens, public services crumble, and the climate and nature crises accelerate. 🧪 Read Dr Stuart Parkinson’s budget analysis in full: demilitarize.org.uk/budget2025/

Minor changes to the ‘for you’ feed on X can rapidly increase political polarisation. Exposure to a week of content expressing ‘antidemocratic attitudes and partisan animosity’ can bring about a shift in views that previously would have taken three years. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The UK Government’s new North Sea Future Plan, launched alongside the budget, promises no new licences to explore new fields. This does not prevent the Rosebank field, which has already received a licence, from being developed. We must keep the pressure on. 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Is it time to move beyond the ‘just transition’? As Emily Ghosh explains, we can’t solve the climate crisis by just switching our energy source. Climate change is driven by concentrated power and global inequities. We need transformation, not transition. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi_d... 🧪

New report reveals even the most transparent nations are only reporting a tiny fraction of their true military carbon footprint... www.sgr.org.uk/publications... 🧪

SGR has signed an open letter urging the UK Government to urgently rethink its plan for nuclear weapons expansion. UK foreign policy must be based on de-escalation, diplomacy, and international cooperation. 🧪

An AI chatbot's per-query environmental impact may be small, but does focusing on individual AI usage miss the big picture? As Dr Simon Clark explained at our conference, it is time for transparency and regulation of large AI corporations, not individual guilt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK0R... 🧪

Cigarettes. Junk food. Fossil fuels. We don’t need ads for products that harm public health and cost the NHS billions. SGR’s Andrew Simms explains why London’s transport network must now ban fossil fuel advertising. Join the campaign 👇🧪

Trump has signalled a return to nuclear weapons testing. The US has not tested nuclear weapons since 1992. This is a reckless decision that will make people less safe and lead to a new nuclear arms race. 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wikipedia, while not perfect, shares many of the principles that underpin a responsible science: transparency, humility, peer review, etc. Grokipedia is ‘fact-checked’ by Musk’s Grok AI (known to hallucinate), lacks human authors, and serves his own agenda... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
