The government has announced there will be an inquiry into the death of Zane Gbangbola, after a decade of campaigning by his parents. My investigation into the fight to uncover the toxic legacy left by landfill experiments near Zane's home is now free to read. www.endsreport.com/article/1957...

This week’s ECO Chamber on historic landfills ⚡ is live. For this episode, we speak 🎙️ to investigative journalist @jsandlerclarke.bsky.social about the buried histories of landfills in England, and the story of a family fighting for justice. ⬇️

The BBC News homepage has now COMPLETELY removed its Climate section?! It has now been relegated to a sub-menu via the "More" button in the right-hand corner.

The rise in climate pollution from the US is 2025 canceled out the reductions from China, India, Japan, and the EU combined.

Breaking: China's official statistics report a 0.3% drop in CO2 emissions from energy&industry in 2025, the third time that annual emissions have fallen this century and the first fall predominantly driven by clean energy growth. 🧵

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

My new investigation shows that while Shell claims to have reduced its greenhouse gas emissions, but it has done this largely by selling polluting assets. At former Shell oil fields in Nigeria, flaring has gone up, causing problems for local people. www.climatechangenews.com/2026/02/05/g...

Did you know air pollution is the top preventable cause of premature death + ill-health in the world today: killing nearly 10 million people per year? And 2/3 of air pollution comes from burning fossil fuels? For more surprising & powerful facts on health and climate, follow @maibached.bsky.social

When it rains, it now rains more. For those experiencing the flooding in south-west England, it is worth remembering that rainfall in winter has increased by about 25% overall. And, the rainfall has also become more intense: when it rains, it now rains more, increasing the risk of flooding.

If I was Xabi Alonso I would simply manage Tottenham Hotspur to an era of unfathomable domestic dominance and continental success, but that's just me I guess

My mum would have been 70 yesterday. She taught me how to cook and through that how to be fully present in the world. I wrote about that and my awkward child chef era here. Thank you for @padraigreidy.bsky.social for providing notes that elevated this piece. unpeeledjournal.com/cooking-with...

Astonishing both-sidesing in The Times

Venezuelan oil’s flaring intensity, or the ratio of greenhouse gas pollution per barrel of oil produced, is the worst in the world: www.worldbank.org/en/programs/...

Okay not *only* about oil, also about showing dominance and probably some sort of petty grievance in there too. But definitely ALSO helpful to some US oil majors (notably Exxon and Chevron)

Climate injustice: “…in the aftermath of extreme weather events, lower-income neighbourhoods are less likely to rebuild and do not return to their pre-disaster state, whereas higher-income areas rebuild and tend to improve compared with their pre-disaster state…”

It's funny to have to make this case but tbqh we don't make it enough: human efforts to counter fossil fuel use have had *at least some* effect on total greenhouse gas emissions since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015, and there's some evidence to back up this position A lil thread 🧵

Global emissions may fall 10% by 2035 — but scientists say a 60% drop is needed to keep 1.5°C alive.

But seriously: I'm prepping for a panel on Abundance and climate and going down the rabbit hole of documenting everything so I can cite it, and I'm finding things are SO much worse than I even thought. Did you know that the Charles Koch Foundation was a sponser of Abundance 2024? No, really.

Amazon's big server might be down but that doesn't mean I can't post my charts showing how fundamentally bonkers their energy consumption and associated emissions are :) Fun fact: 2 years ago they stopped sharing their total electrical energy consumption, cool!!! ketanjoshi.co/data-sharing/

NEW: GLOBAL RENEWABLES OVERTAKES COAL How the heck did that happen so quickly?!...🧵

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’ Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros. The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

🚨Last weekend, Reform UK held their party conference in Birmingham, and as expected, it was a magnet to a range of conspiracy theories and wild, fringe ideas. 🧲 hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/10/i...

Reform says it wants to drill in the North Sea so the UK is not dependent on foreign oil. Is that why its climate panel is sponsored by the Heartland Institute, a U.S. think tank funded by ExxonMobil? 🤔 www.desmog.com/heartland-in...

Hurricane forecasting has doubled in accuracy during the past 15 years thanks mostly to NOAA researchers at the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory in Miami. Guess which scientific lab the new Trump budget is going to zero out entirely. And not just this lab but *all* NOAA labs.

This is just going to be the first of many, many stories you are going to read about big tech companies faking "AI for climate" claims. The sheer volume of AI-climate-washing going on right now is huge, and it's very likely most of the claims are fabricated or exaggerated archive.is/8sYNv
