For 17 years, the US intel community has kept classified an assessment on the security implications of climate change. Why has the IC kept it a secret? My latest on why the @nsarchive.bsky.social is calling on the ODNI to prioritize the report's declassification: nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-boo...

More than 17,000 acres around the Klamath River in Northern California have returned to the Yurok Tribe, completing the largest landback deal in California history. When the California gold rush began, the tribe lost 90% of its territory despite having lived along the Klamath for millennia.

The ‘spiral of silence’ blocking climate action and how to end it - Globally, people are hugely supportive of climate action but wrongly believe their fellow citizens are not - revealing the truth could spark a social tipping point #The89Percent Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ryan Coogler is what happens when someone steeped in LA Rebellion film aesthetics is given access to all of resources of the Hollywood blockbuster machine. Sinners crystallized this for me. filmlifestyle.com/what-is-la-r...

Unthinkable just 10 years ago: Almost 3/4 of the EU’s electricity in 2024 was from renewable energy sources and nuclear. Gas and coal electricity generation is at record low levels.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Wow, these four simple climate solutions also have tremendous benefits to biodiversity and human well-being. drawdown.org/insights/fou...

Since it’s becoming obvious that Trump’s mass deportation plan will wind up being an updated version of the Japanese internment of WWII, we need to be asking exactly what goals they hope to achieve with this, since that is central to the postwar understanding of the earlier episode. 3rd thread, 1/21

While the right obsesses over imaginary water declarations and DEI initiatives, actual solutions get pushed aside. That’s not an accident: It’s the point.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...

"With the dams now gone, the river is flushing itself clean, and for the first time in 100 years, salmon are spawning above the former dam sites. This restoration is a major step toward healing both our land and our people, and in no way impacts water supplies in the rest of California..."

As LA burns, conspiracy peddlers lie about—and celebrate—the danger we’re living through The sky is smoldering, alongside online misinformation and right-wing bigotry.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Wow. This is a jaw-dropping thriller of a story: How a Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias

Planning your climate or environment syllabus? I like to show short videos so students & I can visualize some of the things we're talking about. Here are some of the ones I like:

"[T]he White House is drafting a plan to open up public lands for the construction of AI data centers along with power plants ... [I]t could allow the gas-burning power plants to exceed pollution limits and give data centers priority access to energy over other consumers on the electric grid."

What are your favorite feature-length films (preferrably docs) about climate change/climate justice? Politically astute, hopeful but not (just) techno-optimistic, bonus points if there's an engagement with racial capitalism/settler colonialism, somewhat recent?

The AI industry’s seizure of other people’s property, declaring it to be worthless, then pricing it at a premium once “processed” through them, has a historical precedent, and it’s not a good look. Yup. It’s good old colonialism. open.substack.com/pub/joelmorr...

Some of my favourite Indigenous films available on NFB are: - You Are On Indian Land (1969) - Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance (1993) - Qallunaat! Why White People are Funny (2006) - Ever Deadly (2022) Share yours!
