District Judge Royce Lamberth in D.C. blocked the Trump regime's order to halt construction of the Revolution Wind project, stating that the project developers are likely to win their lawsuit against the regime and are “likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction.”

The technical term for the disfiguring, swelling dickishness in the administration? "Sycophantiasis."

Your daily reminder that climate change is not your fault and is the result of the willful negligence of fossil fuel companies and their outright bribes to governments.

Ugh. I just wanna post pics of the garden, everthing else is so depressing. Anyway, Two (edible) nightshades ...

Remarkable how persistent we were in ignoring these early warnings.

#ScienceUnderSiege went to press months ago. But this ending paragraph feels like it really resonates today:

Yesterday, Quakers led a walk of witness to arms company HQs, speaking out against those who profit from war and suffering. We also joined with Pax Christi for a silent candlelit vigil outside the Excel Centre, where the DSEI arms fair is taking place. 📸 Michael Preston for Quakers in Britain

People living near the Aliso Canyon natural gas blowout in L.A.'s upscale Porter Ranch won an emergency declaration from Gov. Jerry Brown to help them relocate until it was thought safe to return. People in Latino and historically Black communities near #ChiquitaCanyonLandfill have not. A thread. /1

Just found this one in the #zaubergarten. Let’s call it a caramel chili …

Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.

Most stuff grew well this year …

I wrote for @theguardian.com about the “Unite the Kingdom” rally. High time to pull head out of the sand and learn from other countries — if only on what NOT to do!

Buenos días desde el jardín del sol.

Reminders at a recent @unep.org workshop that there ALREADY ARE international pacts to regulate some of the concepts to try and "engineer" the climate system, with intentional high-altitude air pollution, for example ...

Shocking number of fosiil-fuled heat deaths in Europe this summer that would make more headlines if the people died in one big disaster. But extreme heat is often a silent killer, and the deaths aren't always reported accurately, or at all.

Extreme, deadly heat doesn't care about politics. Social-democratic Spain and neo-fascist Italy were hardest hit by this summer's heatwave, both suffering 1000s of casualties to human-caused global warming. insideclimatenews.org/news/1709202...

Fossil-fueled warming once again killed tens of thousands in Europe this summer. Scientists the rising heat and death tolls show the limits of adaptation.

A planned expansion of military spending by NATO countries could generate an additional 1,320m tonnes of planet-heating pollution over the next decade – on a par with the annual greenhouse gas emissions generated by Brazil, the fifth largest emitter in the world, according to a new report.

What could possibly go wrong with spraying thousands and thousands of tons of chemicals or minerals into the upper atmosphere, year after year, to try and dim sunlight?

I listened to several days of UNEP talks on solar geoengineering (spraying stuff in the upper atmosphere to dim sunlight) and of my takeaways is that most climate scientists are incredibly wary of the idea.

In Nepal ist vieles möglich. Deswegen liebe ich das Land so 😊

Moin zusammen. Nächsten Samstag ist #Global e #KlimaDemo. Ich bin dabei. Ihr auch?

at the veggie patch today ...

Untested concepts for protecting polar ice with mechanical, engineered measures are truly in the realm of science fiction, yet they seem to be getting air. Why? Desperation? Tech-bro overconfidence in a future silver bullet? Distraction from cutting fossil fuel emissions?

This is a great idea! 🧪 laist.com/news/educati...

Ye cannie park there pal

For decades, there has been a highly organized war on science in the U.S., mainly funded by fossil fuel companies, and their propaganda is now official government policy.

Got peppers?

Charlie Kirk war nicht „rechtskonservativ“. Er war in den letzten Jahren dem Spektrum des White Nationalism zuzuordnen, ein Faschist und offen rechtsextrem, hat gegen BPoC und LGBTQ Menschen gehetzt, ein radikaler Sexist obendrein. Man kann seine Ermordung verurteilen ohne ihn zu verharmlosen.

With the news that Paris is extending Seine swimming after 100,000 swam this summer, here's why I think everyone should do it, and why the sites themselves are part of a Paris revolution

So, the abduction of dark-skinned people by masked, unidentified police, sometimes supported by military troops, has been sanctioned by the Supreme Court? Did I get that right? Sounds bad.

Big tobacco launched the effort to undermine science decades ago, and fossil industries eagerly grabbed the baton. Now, enabled by fossil funded politicians, corrupt judges and misguided media focus on false balance, denialism is now part of official U.S. government policy. Good luck, America ...

The U.S. government issued a false climate report and wants to try and steer global climate and energy policy based on its inaccurate and misleading information.
