Ok, yes, but it would have been nice to have had even just one headline about this with respect to climate change too.

But the fossil fuel industry demonstrably funds Ted Cruz. So there's that, and that gives him lots of reasons to spew this propaganda. Oily.....

That escalated quickly!! #Gabrielle is now a cat 4, winds 140mph. With all the lightning around the eye it means rapid rising motion, a clear signal of rapid intensification, with more likely on the way! Luckily it will miss Bermuda and continue as a fish storm. #HurricaneGabrielle

#ClimateWeekNYC scene report: fusion is the new carbon dioxide removal (the "innovation" into which oil and gas are investing so they can help solve climate change) 🙄

70 years ago today, (Sept 22, 1955) a General Electric scientist warned about carbon dioxide build-up. C02 “may be having a greenhouse effect on our climate” because mankind is “contaminating the earth’s atmosphere faster than nature can clean it.” allouryesterdays.info/2025/09/22/7...

REVOLUTION NOW

Are you helping your kids with their homework? Teaching them how to save for retirement? Ok. But are you preparing them for this👇, the result of our current emissions trajectory?

The authoritarian petrostates (the US included) are doubling down on fossil fuels; everyone else is doing "all of the above" energy. Of course nations are planning higher levels of production than ever. Meanwhile, we're destroying our kids' futures. That hasn't changed one whit.

New report says, if rich countries want, they have more than enough money to fund climate action: $6.6 trillion annually oilchange.org/publications...

I agree w this. There's too much disinformation-shaped confusion about what's causing electricity prices to rise for "electrification" to be a winning message right now.

"As the months went by, he lost his need to feel anything at all. This was the way things were, this was the new law of the land, based on the Führer's order ... He consoled himself with the thought that ... he was 'unable to change anything'." Everyone should read this book right now.

Today we saw a fascist Gesamtkunstwerk, but done the right way. by Ezra Klein

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

Reasonable but I prefer putting the bandage back in the box before it’s even unwrapped and applied. It’s just a can of worms down a rabbit hole that we needn’t explore.

This is pretty stupid. I don't expect better from David Keith, but Zeke Hausfather should know better. For all the pontificating of the Solar Geoengeineering boosters, once the technology develops it won't be the scientists (even the more responsible ones) who get to decide whether it's deployed..

I think I have the same reaction to @hausfath.bsky.social and Keith’s op/ed as I do with the idea that global climate “tipping points” and “planetary boundaries” should be the basis of global climate governance —

To be clear: geoengineering - including solar radiation management - is not a climate solution. It gives permission to continue burning fossil fuels while introducing dangerous and unnecessary risks to people and ecosystems.

The concept of trying to implement geoengineering solutions to #climate change is like trying to design a complicated, expensive, unreliable helmet while you're still hitting yourself in the head with a 2x4.

Sure does feel like I've been reading essentially the same solar geoengineering op-ed for 15 years

So, again, it's worth pointing out that one of the authors of this piece, David Keith, created and then sold the carbon removal company "Carbon Engineering" to Occidental Petroleum, who *VERY EXPLICITLY* intend to use it to expand fossil fuel extraction......... ketanjoshi.co/2023/09/03/c...

I feel like there should be some law against advocating for solar geoengineering if you've never advocated for the phaseout of fossil fuels.

I'm here too and the energy is in the meeting hall is beautiful! #Life #Love #Solar #SunDay

A piece in the New York Times brings up a “zombie” proposal to combat climate change — basically using smoke & mirrors to cool the planet. No matter how many times people kill the idea, it seems to come back to the headlines. Don’t let it. It’s not a good idea. globalecoguy.org/solar-geoeng...

Natural gas companies argued that increasing production would lower Pennsylvanians’ electric bills. But in the last few years, residents’ bills have only gone up.

I find it remarkable how much ink is spilled on techno fixes to the climate crisis w/o so much as a rhetorical nod to the imperative to wind down fossil fuels. The unfortunate subtext of this op ed -- whether by design or not -- is that politicians need not confront fossil fuel political power.

It is telling that on this "SUN Day" where we celebrate the promise of renewable solar energy (www.sunday.earth), the NY Times runs fossil fuel-friendly op-ed promoting a "technofix" that would actually DISRUPT solar energy (www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-h...). (h/t @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social)

Keith made, what, $100 million or so? @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com @elizabarclay.bsky.social Should there not be some acknowledgement of this conflict of interest?

Short, powerful, thread

I reckon if you create a carbon removal company and then sell it to one of the world's biggest fossil fuel companies who very explicitly say out loud they intend to use it to expand fossil fuel production, that should be a mandatory paragraph in your bio and it should be right up top

"I'm not telling you to shoot heroin. But if you want to try it, we recommend just snorting it first."

Can someone explain to me why the people selling CDR almost always sell solar geoengineering too?

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT WAVE IN EUROPE Hundreds of records brutalized everywhere with up to 4/5c margins, it's arguably one the most extreme events Europe has ever seen >33C in Poland,tropical nights at 1800m in Austria,all time records smashed..👇 Never happened anything like this in September.

An antidote to despair and cynicism -- academics studying countries facing autocratic takeovers document that more than half of these episodes lead to "U-turns" and more than 90% result in strengthened democracies. Up to us to make it so! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Amazing coverage as Sun Day weekend starts! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/c...

The line between outright, manufactured climate propaganda and the ideology that justifies fossil capitalism is sometimes not even a line — sometimes it's a mere space on one continuum.

well, well, well

Climate denial is child abuse. “Kids want the EPA to preserve the endangerment finding. Our generation is expected to live through three times as many climate disasters as our grandparents, and we’re already living through them.” —a 12 year-old insideclimatenews.org/news/1909202...

Hey, people who work on climate especially, you should know this is happening.

😊

Imagine making this point about, say, climate investments, arguing how it'll have outsized societal and economy-wide returns, and that we should stop worrying about climate tech's returns on investments, which, in any case, we're measuring wrong.

nope nope nope

"To write about the ways that fossil capital works to preserve itself at global scale without working on how to foment revolution... might, ironically... end up upholding the status quo. And there is no time for that anymore." lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-... @doctorvive.bsky.social

My review of Overshoot is the most popular article on @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social. Not bad for a rather technical piece about stranded assets and carbon dioxide removal lol. lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-...
