Just watched our Secretary of State laud the Scientific Revolution and deride climate science as a “cult,” almost in same breath. The distorting effect of fossil fuel’s corrupt influence is astounding, like a warped fun-house mirror.

Sagan was a brilliant science communicator. In 1985 he had explained climate change and the threats ahead in basic terms. 2/n allouryesterdays.info/2022/12/09/d...

Climate change, the huge challenge of our generation.

Here's the thing: Burgum knows better. He's on the record supporting carbon neutrality and CO2 capture. He's performing on Fox News for an audience of one.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

here's tonight's FT splash, fresh from the Epstein files

Thanks to new tax disclosure requirements, we know this about Tesla: "the corporate tax laws, as modified by Congress and the Trump administration last summer, have allowed a hugely profitable corporate to avoid paying even a dime of federal income tax on their 2025 US profits"

In case we thought that ecological disasters were a special talent of modernity, let’s talk about how the 13th-century peat trade of Norfolk made it permanently vulnerable to flooding, including 3 catastrophic floods just since 2013. #medievalstorytime

We finalised by speaking about fairness and standards. Letta, through his keynote, and then @estherlynch.bsky.social reminded us that Europe’s strength lies in its social model. High standards on labour, consumer and environmental protection are not a weakness.

🚨 BREAKING: One of the European Commission’s senior officials, Henrik Hololei, breached its rules, an internal investigation has found. Read the story: www.politico.eu/article/eu-c...

Zelenskyy: Today, Russia struck a passenger train in the Kharkiv region with attack drones. In any country, a drone strike on a civilian train would be regarded in the same way – purely as an act of terrorism

So long, Paris: US officially leaves landmark climate pact

New ECJ ruling that “Under the principle of sincere cooperation, Member States are required to facilitate the achievement of the EuropeanUnion’s tasks ... By disassociating itself from the common strategy established within the Council, [a Member State] weakens the EU’s negotiating power.”

Yet more evidence that the crucial Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC is weakening. Bad news for our climate future. More reason to finally get serious about ending fossil fuel use. As fast as we can.

NYT EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. When the government kills, it has an obligation to demonstrate that it has acted in the public interest. Instead, the Trump administration is once again engaged in a perversion of justice.” @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/o...

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Scott Bessent says that "the US projects strength." The reality is US growth is at a historically low level, productivity gains are sluggish & the net foreign debt surging. And this is only sticking to macro: I will discuss inequality in a future thread. /end

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Whatever’s in these Epstein Files (and we have some idea) must be really bad.

Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

Diplomacy should be the path for solving disputes between allies. The EU has been and continues to be a partner seeking dialogue rather than confrontation. The same Unfortunately cannot be said for the US (3/3)
