On CAN wildfire, "forest-mismanagement explanation is borrowed from the wrong forest," @zekehausfather.com writes, noting Canadian boreal is "mostly unmanaged and unsuppressed... the surge in Canadian burning tracks temperature with striking consistency." www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo...

"A campaign that tried to make a nuclear attack seem survivable instead revealed just how futile government advice would be in the event of a full scale nuclear war"

"A new threat is rising: humid heat waves, aka wet-bulb events. Scientists have identified wet-bulb temperatures where sweat can’t evaporate fast enough to cool the human body. & once this threshold is crossed... you won’t survive without environmental cooling like air conditioning"

“DAC at the scale needed is mostly a fantasy” It is VERY USEFUL for scientists to say this out loud, as much as possible, since blind faith in carbon removal is one of the baseless ideologies justifying the continuation of fossil-fuel use among global policymakers.

Over 800 wildfires are burning across Canada right now. Canada also holds more than a quarter of the world's boreal forest and is warming at twice the global average rate. The smoke is the part getting attention. Here is everything else. 🧵

Some fascinating insights from @mjflepage.bsky.social and @alecluhn.com in this episode - not to be missed!

Most people assume caring about climate change makes them the odd one out. But that isn't true! And by keeping silent, we perpetuate that myth. Read more below - and share what you learn with someone else this week!

“What is unfolding is what climate and forest scientists have been predicting for 30 years. That as the world gets hotter and drier, we are exposing forests to more and more risk, and the old strategies of fire suppression are simply being overwhelmed.”

I was delighted to join this amazing initiative where I am leading the research efforts to map the climate communication landscape in the US and Canada. We've got amazing findings that we'll release around Climate Week NYC @katharinehayhoe.com @au-cece.bsky.social #StayTuned talkingclimate.com

You can't "tough it out" through extreme heat or wildfire smoke. As climate risks grow, workplace protections must grow with them. Keeping workers safe means treating climate change as a health and safety issue. Read @clcpresident.bsky.social's latest op-ed: www.ohscanada.com/opinions/our...

Dr. George Tselioudis, NASA, reveals how shrinking storm-cloud zones are boosting Earth's sunlight absorption by ~0.45 watts/m² per decade.

it's the social determinants of health which we have not managed to meaningfully address - access to good housing, access to green space, access to good food, reduced air and noise pollution, access to employment www.health.org.uk/features-and... 3/4

I find this is a really odd story - why should world class biomedical research improve life expectancy in UK? What is keep life expectancy flat are a range of structural issues - not access to the latest medical treatments. 1/4 news.sky.com/story/world-...

@edhawkins.org, climate scientist: “When extreme heatwaves occur it is critical that British public are made aware by media that greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels, have made those heatwaves hotter than they would otherwise have been."

𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀: climate change “unequivocally to blame” for extreme heat 𝗨𝗞 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮: no reference to climate change in almost 3/4 of articles referring to the 'heatwave' or 'extreme heat' during last month’s record high temps 🧵 👇

Welsh Reform politician caught lying about fossil fuel interests

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

Worse now. 400s in Baltimore and 300s in Philly. I can’t take this. I keep crying

Here's Andy Burnham committing to a fossil fuel phase out and the @fossiltreaty.bsky.social last year. The science is extremely clear, we already have far more fossil fuels than can be burned if we are to stay within the Paris #climate targets & prevent catastrophic warming.

"One of Earth's most important climate-regulating systems is measurably weakening in response to increased freshwater from a warming Antarctic and reduced sea-ice formation." #ClimateEmergency

At this point I don't really think anyone is even bothering much with denying climate change, instead there's just this insidious loss of interest, and resignation, but the thing is as bad as it is and will get it could still get a LOT worse depending on what we do

After the 2003 heatwaves that killed more than 70,000 people, France introduced adaptive measures, including early warning systems and welfare checks, which helped to radically reduce fatalities. Models indicate that mortality in 2023 would have been 80% higher without such adaptation policies.

Previous recommendations not to talk about climate change were mostly based on research that didn’t directly test the thing in question: a candidate prioritizing vs not prioritizing climate. New research shows prioritizing climate can have positive effects. www.2035initiative.com/climate-hush...

The global spread of this beetle “will fundamentally alter ecosystem structure and landscape dynamics wherever it gains a foothold.” I also expect it will exacerbate the urban heat island effect by reducing the tree canopy in every city it invades. #bioinvasions www.science.org/content/arti...

Alberta’s flagship carbon capture project (Pathways/Oil Sands Alliance) just had a quiet but massive walkback. 2021 pledge: 68 megatonnes/yr. Finalized May 2026 deal: just 16 megatonnes/yr. That’s a 77% CUT.

Ha ha yes, but also, if we're not allowed to call this agency then what really is the point of the word

Before the Luddites and the arrival of capitalism, it wasn’t just workers pushing back against technology; governments did too. This week @thomas-dekeyser.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss how refusal of technology has a very long history. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/337_...

I’ve been looking into de-extinction for a paper I’m writing and can confirm it is a complete side event for conservation

"We’ve brought together the peer-reviewed scientific literature on oil and gas, which sends a clear message: there’s no room for new fields to be opened. When you’re in a hole, you have to stop digging."

I’ve been saying for years that this is the most important area of climate science. The research could be used in legal cases against fossil fuel companies for damages caused by extreme weather events. Follow @frediotto.bsky.social and others at @wwattribution.bsky.social for more.

In collaboration with the Munk School, I am sharing a ten-lecture course I taught at @utoronto.ca this past year. The course is called “Hitler and Stalin Today.” Watch the first lecture here: snyder.substack.com/p/new-lectur...

Democrats have stopped talking about climate. Strategists say that's smart—but they're wrong. Making climate a top priority wins votes, and barely 1 in 10 voters will vote against climate action. Read all about it in my newsletter, "Notes from the Electric Era." electricnotes.news/p/yes-democr...

The Luddites were right by the way. They were violently suppressed by the military, working on behalf of the factory owners. Chartists and other activists took up the fight of Luddism to win us back worker rights. George, just have a read of this mate: tomhumberstone.com/luddites

What precisely do they expect to happen? 'We sent Miliband to the backbenches, slowed clean energy investment, issued another wave of drilling licenses, and approved some more airports - why haven't energy bills plummeted and why won't all those Green voters come back?'
