Look what popped up on my LinkedIn feed today ! “We see the potential…” 😂 🙄

Perfect article place in Norwegian media. It's almost impressive how these two things are basically just held as completely separate and never explicitly linked, in our media landscape.

Economists often claim our food systems are resilient to climate change because of "innovation." Meanwhile, those poor birds got basically cooked alive. www.carbonbrief.org/livestock-he...

You know that massive extreme heat disaster happening in Europe right now? It's coming to the eastern US. #climatechange #climate

Month-to-date temperature departure from normal. Is everyone in the West OK?

I just googled myself to check for anything libelous (it does happen), and I found that the top queries about me, alongside "book," are "age" and "husband." 😞 It's wild being a woman in public! How many people ask Google about the ages and spouses of the men in the climate space? I'd bet very few.

Well, well, well....economists have pulled their heads out of the sand and realised that extreme heat will have a big impact on economies Climate scientists, and others, have been saying this for decades There's a reason economics is called the dismal science www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“at 1.4°C of global warming, extreme heat is already reaching the limits of our societies’ ability to cope” www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuel-...

Jesus Christ. Run your own fucking campaign how you want. But don't go out of your way to give Republicans ammo against Democrats running in other districts. Such stupid assholes.

Big Tech is saying out loud "You can have a habitable planet or machine generated slop, but you can't have both."

climate action saves lives

Europe's worst heatwave so far, in terms of heat stress measures and temperatures - brought to you by fossil fuels. New @wwattribution.bsky.social study showing how such deadly heat became possible in only a few decades. www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuel-...

closing comments on this so I can manage my mentions, which right now are about 50% celebrating this amazing woman and 50% accusing me of not reading enough / being dumb / not following the news because, you know, racism and sexism aren't really problems in America 😴

This is a confession.

Of course the clowns at The Breakthrough Institute agree with SCOTUS’ decision to shield Monsanto from liability for not warning consumers about the cancer risk of glyphosate (Roundup). Cancer Abundance!!!

Today I learned that one of the principal architects of the Moderna Covid-19 Vaccine is a Black woman named Kizzmekia Corbett. Why didn't I know this before? #Racism #Sexism

ICYMI: "Climate Change: New Data, New Debate," featuring Michael E. Mann (@michaelemann.bsky.social) and Genevieve Guenther (@doctorvive.bsky.social) for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

I must point out that the 2021 Princeton Net Zero America study — which, mind you, was also funded by BP (and ExxonMobil!) — included about 10gt of cumulative carbon sequestration by 2050 in what they represented as the most "cost-effective" pathway to US decarbonization.

The biggest threat to "affordability," today and more so every day to come, is climate change. Responsible political leaders would tell their constituents about it.

The must see visual from Propublica's brutal takedown of carbon capture magical thinking: projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-c... @amywestervelt.bsky.social @propublica.org @drilledmedia.bsky.social

I’ve spent more than a year reporting on how the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated academia over the last 30 years, shaping fundamental paradigms on how to address climate change. My first story in the new @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social series, “Carbon Captured”, is out today.

People gotta learn the difference between the meanings of "jaded" and "critique". Offering a good faith critique is an expression of optimism- that someone can hear new information; be persuaded by that information; and change their mind. "You sound jaded" no you'll know when I give up.

Honestly, this is so soul-crushing. But amazing work by @amywestervelt.bsky.social & @themadstone.bsky.social

“‘A premise from the outset was that CMI's job was to invent a future where the fossil fuel industries have not disappeared,’ the renewal document said. ‘This is still our job’."

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

this is the climate politics we need if we're going to get through the 21st century without descending further into fascism

oh look! the climate apocalypse coalition is fracturing! you love to see it.

How average and extreme summer temperatures are changing in Western Europe. Graph: Robert Rohde. This will continue until we reach net zero emissions, whether you like it or not: it’s physics. @rarohde.bsky.social

Want to know how climate disinformation works today? The far right's spreading outright lies is actually the least of it. @michaelemann.bsky.social and I discussed this and much more with the @thebulletin.org. Check it out👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckVZ...

New: AI-powered advocacy campaigns, often on behalf of fossil fuel interests, are flooding officials with thousands of emails to influence policy. We took a deep dive, including trying out creating an AI-personalized message. With @zhirji.bsky.social Free link. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Letter in today's Times by climate scientist Sir Brian Hoskins: "The discourse around net-zero is increasingly decoupled from…science and our changing weather. "Net-zero is not an arbitrary slogan, rather it is dictated by the laws of physics."

Thanks to solar it absolutely can. The evenings may require batteries, but even without them, cooling until the sun goes down will save a great deal of suffering. (My solar house is cheerfully producing three times as much electricity as the aircon is using).

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

The point is that it's a HUGE PROBLEM that people running for office as Democrats are not talking about climate change, since — hello! — climate change remains very real and is accelerating. The time we have to halt heating at a safe level is almost over. 1/4

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

That’s right.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

RESULT: Darializa Avila Chevalier, a challenger backed by New York's left, has ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat. An earthquake result, which means all 3 congressional candidates backed by Mamdani have won: Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez.

“I will be one of the Jewish members of Congress most willing to stand up for Palestinian human rights. And I will stand firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. Those are not two different jobs. They are the same job,” Brad Lander said.

Not 2050. Today in France. Peak Temps. Every pink number is 40C+ (104F+) with many stations at 44C+ (111F+). A previously impossible heatwave, soon to be an annual tradition, only hotter. #heatwave #Europe

"Climate Change: New Data, New Debate" | Genevieve Guenther ( @doctorvive.bsky.social ) and I spoke w/ Alex Bell of @thebulletin.org (and answered audience questions) about the current assault by climate deniers on the emissions scenarios used in climate projections: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckVZ...

In case you missed it: you can watch the Bulletin's discussion on the current state of climate change research, attacks on science, and RCP8.5 with Genevieve Guenther @doctorvive.bsky.social and Michael E. Mann @michaelemann.bsky.social below. Thank you to our guests for joining us!

important 🧵

Detlef van Vuuren says that it's technically possible to use machines to pull a trillion tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere by 2100, burying permanently under ground. (There's no evidence for this claim, by the way.)

I fear this foreshadows how hard it's going to be to govern under climate chaos. End the fossil-fuel economy now.

Climate.us is live. Built by members of the team behind Climate.gov, this new independent nonprofit website keeps trusted climate information easy to find, easy to use, and harder to erase. #ClimateForUs #ClimateUS

Begging news outlets to stop illustrating deadly heat waves with happy beach fun 🏖️😎 and life-saving vaccines with terrifying needle assaults 💉😭. Especially on social media (where many/most people get their news) the photo is the most prominent part of the story; these choices undermine it completely

If other news was reported like climate change:
