It could not be any more clear that our government works for Big Oil. This will hurt people, shorten lifespans, and cause billions of dollars in health care costs. It will also cost several more billions in environmental and property damage. Big Oil gets even richer, while you pay the price.

A new all-electric double-decker Climate Stripes bus has started taking passengers around Reading today. The bus shows the warming stripes for Reading back to the 1860s and will hopefully help start climate conversations amongst passengers. #ShowYourStripes

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Opportunity for women students in paleontology! The Winifred Goldring Award will be presented to three women graduate students and the AWG Undergraduate Paleontology Award will be presented to a student pursuing a career in paleontology. Due April 30th. More information here: tinyurl.com/msdc3m68

goes without saying, but every Republican member of congress should be asked about that disgusting video and their support for that man every single day until they are forced to give a response

A survey by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) shows Canadians overwhelmingly love winter sports and many want fossil fuel companies removed from Olympic sponsorship because of climate change concerns. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/03/n...

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Excited to see the data I crunched for @climateconnections.bsky.social was used in a Washington Post story on the same topic. It's jut wild that as data centers burn up more and more energy, their bills don't go up. But ours do. Key graphic below. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Regular people in Minnesota standing up to ICE and protecting their neighbors. Denmark and Belgium taking the strongest stances of European countries against Trump’s Greenland threats. Amazing how those with less power take action and sacrifice, while so many of the powerful equivocate and cower.

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

They're trying so hard to justify a murder. And every American should know: if they kill you, this is what they'll do to you.

y’all wanna see some ice-on-ice violence? 🥰

this is the best reframe i’ve ever seen about calling your politicians

"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made

I was alarmed when I saw this trend in electricity prices. I bet you will be too. Data centers are causing big increases in energy demand, but it's our bills that are rising the most. Seems unfair, eh? For @climateconnections.bsky.social #energysky yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/01/home...

Fascinating and important analysis from @karinkirk.bsky.social: "The data illustrates how residential users are subsidizing the energy bills of A.I. and data centers, a perspective backed up by other recent analyses."

Saying the quiet part out loud, a Trump specialty

Evergreen tweet

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

I wrote to my representatives @hirono.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social, and Ed Case to tell them to stop the dismantlement of NCAR. You can do the same with your representatives at this link.

Based on what I have been hearing about the NCAR situation, no one knew anything until the USA Today article came out. That means there isn’t much actual organization inside the administration to pull this off and a chance to fight back. Call your congresspeople today! Especially republicans.

It was 30 degrees warmer than average here in MT over the weekend. Green grass everywhere. Not good.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Sharon Wilson and Justin Mikulka work for a small nonprofit named Oilfield Witness that documents methane released from oil and gas infrastructure. Many of these methane plumes are not leaks: “Those are intentional releases to protect the equipment and maintain operation,” Wilson said.

People in the US: tell us how the climate crisis has affected your life in small ways this year

Some stunning footage of ongoing pyroclastic flow activity at Semeru #volcano (Java, Indonesia). Screen capture shows a lightning strike at ~16:07 UTC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txgr...

From @karinkirk.bsky.social As the powers that be seem to be working very hard to tell us all not to address methane emissions and claims that LNG (liquefied methane) is a solution to climate change, the science is quite clear. “The Permian is a methane disaster,” Mikulka said.

Today kicks off our #NewsMatch campaign! There’s never been a more critical time to stand up for nonprofit, climate newsrooms like ours. Through 12/31, the impact of your donation is DOUBLED! Will you show your support today? Donate: givetoday.yale.edu/campaigns/71...

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

I mostly only use Facebook for marketplace, but there's often some sort of greenwashing nonsense ad from Exxon at the top of my feed. I usually take a moment to click the laughing emoji. And now I'm a top fan of Exxon! Aww, thanks guys! 🙃

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

Find a nearby food bank and donate some money if you can. Maybe SNAP will be restored. Maybe it won’t. People will still need food, and cash is better than cans.

Statuary marble is imported from Italy, which is ironic because we have absolutely glorious marbles quarried right here in the USA. Wasn't that the whole damn point of the tariffs? To encourage US-based products? He could have used marble from Georgia, Alabama, Vermont, Colorado, Arizona...

Using his powers to extract tribute from foreign countries, "donors," etc. and then using those extraconstitutional slush funds to bypass the Constitution and the rule of law. Literally the opposite of originalism and a profound threat to the continuation of constitutional democracy in this country.

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have
