When does “scientific neutrality” shade into complicity? A burning question, given that the current disinformation tactic (cultivated by Pielke Jr) is to claim that “scientific integrity” means you must say climate change isn’t dangerous any more. Everyone listen to this brilliant research asap 👇

I don't believe that the audience for climate news is smaller now than it was when the NPR climate desk was formed in2016. News outlets have always had a conflict of interest, taking ad revenue from fossil-fuel interests or from oil and gas directly. And the dissolution of the climate movement...

What's it like to know the #climate crisis better than anyone? I interviewed climate scientists about the weight of knowing, and how they navigate the gap between understanding and action. 🎥 New talk presented at @gsiexeter.bsky.social last week. Kindly hosted by @jamesgdyke.info.

I think about this all the time “It is a genuine stroke of bad luck that the main guy who made EVs turned out to be a Nazi-saluting nutjob whose obituary will feature prominently that he managed to kill a few million people in a wkend by shutting down USAID billmckibben.substack.com/p/just-my-im...

🔥 Individual or system change?🔥 This debate has been at the center of much of my social media engagement for years (causing a fair bit of frustration). Yet I have never published research directly addressing it. Until now. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I have been forwarding this edition of @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter to everyone I know. The impact of Musk and Trump's cuts to USAID didn't hit right away, but they are hitting now. And in Somalia and the DRC it looks a lot like racist culling. billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-question...

Even though RCP8.5 is unlikely, climate impacts at RCP4.5 are way worse than we expected. 🫠

People of integrity and honor in the government are refusing. Making major sacrifices to refuse to participate in the perversion of our institutions. They understand that eviscerating our rule of law will harm *all* Conservative and Liberal Americans. Meanwhile Congress sits flaccid and fearful.

Combined extreme climate events are likely to become more common in the future if carbon emissions continue to rise, a paper in Nature suggests. The study finds that the frequency of compound events is linked to cumulative carbon dioxide emissions. go.nature.com/49rkco0 🌍🧪

Northern Minnesota: consider downloading Watch Duty this fire season. More of us using it and sharing updates means better looking out for each other. With the Two Harbors fire kicking off the season, it feels important already this year. app.watchduty.org

Pretty amazing to have such brilliant minds working on the industrial decarbonization challenge here in MN, alongside state, utilities, industry, labor, Tribal nations and communities. Join us at 3pm CT for more on this new report from @the2035initiative.bsky.social and @freshenergy.bsky.social ⚡️

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

this is the only good piece that's been written about this stupid "debate" (and def dovetails with my previous takes on how the climate *is* the economy)

the wolves are incredible because their two modes are "does anyone really wanna be here? no, right?" and "the 1995-96 chicago bulls"

The #steel sector is dvlping coal-based capacity than it plans to retire. GEM’s new Pedal to the Metal report finds that 319mtpa of BF capacity expansion threatens to make the industry coal-reliant for the foreseeable future w/o a change of course. globalenergymonitor.org/research/ped... 🧵⤵️

Just had Canvas stop working as I was typing comments on a student paper. I now can’t access anyone’s work or grades. Strangely, this never happened back when I used a grade book and had students email me their papers, a system no shareholders extracted money from.

Psst, hey, heavy industry ... we figured out a way to avoid getting screwed by fuel-price volatility! Pass it on.

From Snickers to smartphones and trucks to sweatshirts, the stuff in modern life requires tons of fossil fuels to make. That’s especially a problem as oil and gas prices spike — but this new report shows how electrification can help.

Wrote about the candidate taking money from Chevron, and the candidate promising to make Chevron pay. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/california...

Industrial emissions are often labeled “hard to abate.” But this report shows we already know how to decarbonize a big piece of it—process heat. The bottleneck isn’t the tech, it’s the system. And this report gets specific on what we can do to move faster, with MN as a proving ground for the nation

Pretty good bit. NBA Twitter in playoff form

Ty to the Loons fans who did this 😭

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

As soon as today, the US Senate will vote on a House resolution that allows copper mining by a Chilean company near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Boundary Waters is the most-visited wilderness area in the country, and it cannot be replaced.

I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. Not this mine. Not this place.

70% of Minnesotans do NOT want copper nickel mining near the Boundary Waters. The Senate has a chance to do right by them by leaving the mining moratorium in place.

“Rageful, radical and timely” 🔥

One of the most important climate books ever written. If you care about the world, you’ve gotta know what it says.

NRRI and the National Laboratory of the Rockies have launched a new Joint Research Alliance IMPACT. This establishes a U.S. National Laboratory presence in MN. Together, we’re building a national platform to accelerate innovation in critical technologies. https://bit.ly/487DX3x

Grant Hauschild says it best: "The White House should stand as a symbol of American strength, built by American workers with American steel. Instead, we’re seeing foreign steel used... while Iron Range mines sit idle and hundreds of our steelworkers are out of work.” senatedfl.mn/hauschild-sl...

NYT: “Trump championed the U.S. steel industry, promising to strengthen it and impose stiff tariffs on foreign metals… Yet the White House has secured tens of millions of dollars worth of donated foreign steel for Trump’s $400 million ballroom project.” www.livemint.com/news/world/i...

Agree with @jigarshahdc.bsky.social here - it is really wild how the expansion of fossil gas for data centres has become normalised in the past few years. We shouldn't accept this as normal! Full pod ep is here www.latitudemedia.com/news/open-ci...

Rep. Ansari Statement on United States Attack on Iran.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

This is the most important thing on the internet rn 🤣😭

New MN Poll: - 64% disapprove of how ICE handling its job - 66% say ICE has gone too far - 88% say ICE agents should not be granted immunity Minnesotans agree: end Metro Surge. Hold ICE accountable.

When the world falls into chaos, it’s women who hold the line. Glamour photojournalist Erin Trieb took to the streets of Minnesota to document women holding the city together amid the ongoing ICE and CBP operations. Watch as she takes us behind the scenes of her experience on the front lines.

“Millennial women were told we can do anything,” she says. “I was a girl-power Spice Girl. I read books about little girls seeing injustice and doing something about it. This is my moment. I’ve been training for this since I was eight.” -Mandi Jung

Very big win here. A federal judge says it's just fine for funds and pension plans to boycott fossil fuels www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/c...

🚨 I just introduced my DRAIN ICE legislation package to repeal the tens of billions Trump and Republicans handed ICE last summer, force accountability for deadly detention center conditions, and save lives now. I’m urging my colleagues to sign on.

This week made it plain: data centers are beating heavy industry in the fight for power. Century Aluminum just sold its Hawesville smelter site to a data center: proof that in today’s economy, whoever can pay more for electricity wins. www.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...
