This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

Climate activists often debate whether they should get involved in larger movements for justice, or whether it’s better to just “stay in their lane” of climate. The opposition to climate action is not having that debate.

Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com is REALLY good tonight, especially the long conversation with @mariaressa.bsky.social, 2021 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, who is blunt, brilliant and inspiring. Everyone should watch it. youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4?...

I've asked ChatGPT to compare the most recent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with the recent DOE report on climate in terms of numbers of authors, pages, and citations. Here is the result: IPCC's 6th Assessment Report (AR6) had 721 authors. DOE report had 5.

A new report by the prestigious US National Academy of Sciences concludes that the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding was accurate, has stood the test of time, and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence:

Now, here is a valid report on climate change from the @nationalacademies.org. nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/2923...

An independent United Nations commission said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. It found indications of intentions to destroy, in whole or in part, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a group — which it said amount to genocide.

“The overall strategy is attacking scientific findings in order to diminish the public’s trust,”, well said David Michaels. Trump is installing political appointees to interfere in the peer-review process that is used to evaluate research proposals. Not good! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Good editorial from @nature.com on the ongoing denial of climate science by the current US administration. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Trumps war on science continues. The good news is that there's some resistance from scientists, including the @nationalacademies.org. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

The New York Post has published a misleading article about this paper. nypost.com/2025/09/04/w... The paper itself, which is problematic as pointed out by Bob Kopp below, only claims that there is no acceleration of sea level rise, which means that sea level rises at a constant rate.

Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we all pay the price.

Benny Johnson, a right-wing podcaster, is among the new media figures who enjoy rare access to the Trump administration in exchange for their promotion of the White House’s agenda to millions of online followers.

NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.

This is what you get when you select 5 scientists who disagree with the vast majority of other scientists in their field. They have not been chosen based on their expertise but based on their opinions. interactive.carbonbrief.org/doe-factchec...
