My Ted Talk is out -- and it's all about the work of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network at the @reutersinstitute.bsky.social and how to make climate stories that are impossible (or at least difficult!!) to ignore. www.ted.com/talks/kather...

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

"eating bread sticks and hummus" and talking about protesting over climate change and Gaza. Quite incredible how it has become an arrestable offence in the UK to merely *talk* about engaging in disruptive but non-violent protest www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

It was so great to listen to Jelani Cobb in Oxford. So many takeaways but this one stood out for me: "It is odd any news org would continue to attend WH briefings. History will hold us accountable for our behaviour in moments like this one" reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/full-te...

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

“It’s like your best friend telling you they don’t want to be your friend anymore,” he said. “Maybe you can get over it, but you can’t unsay what has been said. And I think for many Canadians, what’s come out of the U.S. can’t be unsaid.” www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article...

Being in denial will not actually protect you from stranded assets

Our own Greg Cochrane spoke to three journalists who've covered the deadly LA wildfires from three different angles. Here are their first-person accounts of an extraordinary experience. We hope it is useful to others going through similar work reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/reporti...

"The news media is in the worst crisis in modern history. But people still believe in truth. The proportion of people that trust scientists is the highest. We're attacked, but we have to fight back. The value of truth is still there," says @ivancouronne.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwrw...

The news getting you down? I invite you to stare at this chart of solar and wind deployed capacity in China. They blew past their ambitious 2030 target... last July.

A good point and also a reminder: PEOPLE LIVE IN GREENLAND. It's their ancestral homeland and their home. A worrying amount of media coverage has confused personally knowing nothing about Greenland, with Greenlanders not existing or having any rights.

Since 2020, in the depths of the early pandemic, I've written a food newsletter for friends and family. I've now moved it over to Substack and widened it out a little bit, to include book recommendations and my case for why we should all get back into zumba. katherine515940.substack.com

some ways to generate electricity A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons B) use sunlight to make electrons

I'm going to leave the growth of podcasting and 'liberal media' distrust analysis to my smart colleagues, and instead just ask . . . once again . . . who told so many men that women are obsessed with doors www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target. It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade. We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad. The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

For non-climate journalists, breaking news journalists and especially those outside the U.S., you probably need one or two simple sentences to show the links between the LA wildfires and climate change. Use the @wwattribution.bsky.social guide: www.worldweatherattribution.org/reporting-ex...

Esto de World Weather Attribution es muy útil para periodistas que cubren fenómenos extremos, especialmente si no están especializados en clima. Un factsheet sobre cómo los desastres están relacionados con el cambio climático, desde una dana a incendios como los de Los Ángeles.

Here’s tomorrow’s front page of the @latimes. All our fire coverage is here, and the paywall has been lifted: www.latimes.com/california/l...

This piece from @londoncentric.media answers a question I've had for ages: WHY IS THE CONNECTION SO BAD? In Canary Wharf it's always been terrible. But in Sept I returned from Arctic Norway, where I had amazing 5G, to my local park... where I did not. www.londoncentric.media/p/why-exactl...

Serbia said it wanted the software to monitor organised crime but used it to spy on journalists instead, Amnesty says

This series is just incredible. I'll read or watch almost anything on The Troubles (we're watching Say Nothing now and Once Upon A Time in Northern Ireland), but even by that incredible standard, this is good. On Ep 2 I think I held my breath for about half an hour. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Quite important for journalists to have proper climate literacy this week in the UK. Badenoch saying this week that climate change is a "problem" but asking: what strategy should we pick? Maybe UK could pursue an "adaptation strategy" instead of a net-zero strategy. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This is so true and I just cannot listen to it anymore. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
