I've just submitted formal comments on the shoddy DoE Climate Working Group report. My focus is the failure to include any information on the extensive defense/intelligence assessments of the threats to US national security from #climate changes.

Climate.gov, which went dark this summer, to be revived by volunteers as climate.us with expanded mission. ✊🏽

The ruling sided with environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe, who had filed a suit alleging that the facility built in the Florida Everglades violated federal environmental laws.

Want to learn something about #water and #climate change? A simple approximation is that for every degree C of warming, the atmosphere holds 7% more water. That's one factor behind the growing number of extreme flooding events.

The Interior Department released a new order Friday saying it may no longer issue any permits to a solar or wind project on federal lands unless the agency believes it will generate as much energy per acre as a coal, gas or or nuclear energy. via @jael.bsky.social heatmap.news/sparks/inter...

Good, can continue to make evidence based recommendations without pressure from a corrupt regime.

NSW Supreme Court has approved the pro-Palestine “March for Humanity” across Sydney’s Harbour Bridge, despite intense opposition from the NSW government and Zionist lobby groups. the mass demonstration will go ahead as planned this Sunday, expecting crowds of above 100,000.

Good morning with good news: Combined investment in renewables, nuclear & batteries towers above fossil generation by 12:1 in advanced economies and 6:1 in China, and by 2:1 in other EMDE. Clean generation investment nearly doubled in 5 years. #energysky iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/1c136...

3/ The article contains a quote from a much youner @michaelemann.bsky.social - "There appears to be an effort to discourage US scientists from being involved in international scientific assessment processes" Little could he have imagined how far the attacks on science would go in Trump's America!

🚨Melbourne Storm director & co-owner Brett Ralph is one of the biggest funders of hate group "Advance" - which has been aggressively attacking the Welcome to Country. Ralph was Advance's second biggest funder in 2023-24 & has given at least $275,000... theklaxon.com.au/e11o

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

A possible social tipping Point: 89 percent of people globally want stronger action on the climate crisis, but feel trapped because of the mistaken belief they are in the minority, according to research. www.ecowatch.com/climate-cris... @greenpeaceca.bsky.social #ClimateSolutions #Climatechange

Sign of the day…

“The National Science Foundation (NSF) has spent decades—and billions of dollars—trying to attract more women and members of underrepresented groups into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Not anymore. Today NSF announced such efforts “are no longer aligned with its priorities”

“We're trying to communicate to the federal government, to donors, to philanthropists, to lobbyists, that higher education is only healthy when it's autonomous, and that autonomy is essential for academic freedom.” #DayofActionforHigherEd

This new study found a flaw in most econometric analyses of future damages from climate change. They used a different modelling approach that incorporates global economic interconnectedness, and found when you do this, projected damages are much greater than originally estimated.

Tomorrow morning, in London. WE DEMAND CHANGE. End Austerity & Military Pseudo-Keynesianism (austerity's latest attire). End welfare for bankers and fat cats, in favour of boosting well-being amongst the many. End the climate disaster. End genocide #WeDemandChange

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

Extremely important new rapid study just out, by @wwattribution.bsky.social @frediotto.bsky.social It confirms our burning of fossil fuels injects a mad acceleration into the factors that blend to create disastrous fires -->> www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan... Short thread.......

Too many people at the very top of business and politics have operated above the law for too long. That situation is untenable. The people must apply the law to billionaires and large multinational corporations. The political puppet duopoly has utterly failed.

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

My introduction to a forum on university 'truth telling' in @historyaustralia.bsky.social, now online, open access. Worth reading the multiple contributions. Especially as US and other universities cowardly withdraw from any truth telling... #history #histstm #sts @humanitiesau.bsky.social

Hot off the press - it's open access at www.cambridge.org/core/elements/institutionalising-multispecies-justice/509E27E9B328360ABDEEA184EE0492DE/! So proud to be part of this stellar team.

The A-NZ Society for the History of Medicine is meeting in Sydney July 8-12. Always worthwhile. Call for papers out now. The ANZSHM conference overlaps with the AusSTS conference in Melbourne but I'm hoping to get to both (especially as I'll be speaking at the latter!) #histstm #histmed #STS

Very proud of this group effort. And open access! www.cambridge.org/core/element...
