Cumulative change in the mass of glaciers from all around the world - preliminary data just updated through 2025 ☹️ Information on methods: wgms.ch/products_ref...

New reporting from @roycerk2.bsky.social shows US- and Japan-funded think tanks pushing for Australia to keep growing its gas industry. drilled.media/news/japan-t...

"Even an elaborate cheating scheme won’t be enough to deliver Orbán victory if the polls are correct." This is a big deal:

Israel just passed a law mandating death by hanging for Palestinians in rigged military trials voting 62-48 in the Knesset. Netanyahu turned up in person to vote yes. Ben-Gvir wore a metal noose pin on his lapel while the chamber erupted in cheers at the prospect of killing more Palestinians.

This is one of the most important issues with the global food system, yet it is often ignored. Put simply, we don't actually grow much *food* in our farms around the world. Instead, we grow grossly inefficient animal feed and biofuels. drawdown.org/news/only-ha...

Our comrades in France have a proposal and plan for nationalizing Total, ending its expansionary fossil fuel agenda, and enacting a just transition. Instead the U.S. is paying this private corporation $1 billion to stop developing offshore wind and keep drilling for more oil and gas. Exactly wrong.

“Our main challenge now is securing enough EV supply to meet the growing waiting list.” No surprise? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Give how intermittent and unreliable oil and gas is proving to be once again, perhaps we should be looking to alternatives...

New report from @cleancreatives.bsky.social finds fossil fuels companies aren't bothering with ads pretending they're transitioning to clean energy anymore, they've shifting to selling us on the idea that fossil fuels are essential and permanent features of life: heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Where to begin with this

Fossil fuel price shocks due to the Strait of Hormuz conflict show the risk of oil import dependency 🛢️ Replacing imported fossil fuels in transport with EVs can cut fossil imports by a THIRD, reducing exposure to volatile oil markets. ember-energy.org/lat...

Palantir CEO promises that his technology will reduce educated women's economic and political power newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Amazing piece giving insight into the relationship between major fossil fuel companies and senior government officials. 130 direct, personal, text messages in 4 months between a Woodside rep and a DCCEEW deputy secretary. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed. Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

www.wsws.org/en/articles/... Doco maker speaks about the police brutality

Trumps tax breaks last year allowed Amazon to reduce their tax bill by 87%, despite profits soaring by 45% to nearly $90 billion.

"As a Jew, I will proudly stand to be arrested, ostensibly for antisemitism. I did not spend my 20s active against a regime using violence to subordinate rights and silence its critics only to spend my twilight years watching Australian governments do the same." - Stephen Heydt, SMH today

"The Police chose violence". Veteran journo and sports broadcaster Peter Lalor was at the Sydney Herzog protest, got pepper sprayed. His account #auspol michaelwest.com.au/peter-lalor-...

Today we’re launching Open Climate Risk, a fully open option for U.S. building-level climate risk data. It’s unique because it allows you to see not only risk scores, starting with wildfire, but also the complete underlying dataset, methods, and codebase. carbonplan.org/research/cli...

attending a protest = "antagonising police" is very literally and precisely the gaslighting doublespeak of the fascist Trump government. I really don't make that comparison lightly but this is systemic, deep institutional collapse

US Judiciary deletes a chapter on law and #climate science because apparently science is a left-leaning concept and MAGAs complained. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

France has ended up in a strange position after using some €250bn of tax-payer money to build a fleet of nuclear power stations. Wind and solar power is merrily entering the French power market at prices nuclear production can't match, resulting in huge surpluses of power. 1/

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...

Isaac Asimov was a founder of modern science fiction. His work and ideas inform almost everything. He was also a serial sexual harasser, something confirmed by multiple first-person accountings from members of East Coast fandom.

The Washington Post has laid off least 14 climate journalists, newsroom sources told @sammyroth.bsky.social, effectively decimating one of the most important reporting teams in American climate journalism. A sad, terrifying, enraging day for the planet.

lots of key points worth remembering in this @emorwee.bsky.social piece, which lays out how the fossil fuel industry helped create the conditions for today's authoritarian crackdown on protestors

I’m just going to leave this here.

The UK media’s silence on the Palestine Action activists’ hunger strikes is a deliberate editorial choice - Professor Bart Cammaerts blogs.lse.ac.uk/medialse/202...

New Zealand's top court finds climate change must be considered in issuing oil and gas tenders because: - climate is a big concern to NZ - NZ has committed to reduce emissions - oil and gas cause emissions Seems obvious! But NZ is way ahead of Canada on this.

Satellite imagery + open data = accountability ftw 💚

Rising Tide protest: climate activists stop three ships from entering world’s largest coal port in Newcastle

Newcastle Port now closed to coal ships! Wish we had drone footage of 5 Nannas in a tinny breaching 100m exclusion zone in an ‘exciting back &forth with police boats’. (Observers report). No arrests. Harbour authorities closed the port to coal ships. @risingtideaus.bsky.social

UK terror law banning Palestine Action used too widely, review finds Report says definition of terrorism is too broad and 'creates overreach in its application' www.thenationalnews.com/news/uk/2025... We’ve always been right about this: wedonotcomply.org

Ethiopia last year banned the import of new gasoline-powered cars. Nepal reduced import duties on EVs so much that they are now cheaper than cars with internal combustion engines. Brazil raised tariffs on car imports to compel Chinese automakers to set up plants inside Brazil. Etc

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I took a look at what the submissions to the Australian Senate's climate misinformation inquiry had to say for @drilledmedia.bsky.social. The more you look, the more it looks like anti-renewables groups kicked an own goal in the rush to flood the process.

When ChatGPT was asked to rate 40,000 résumés, it ranked the older male candidates as better quality than the younger female applicants.

here's an article we wrote for The Conversation: theconversation.com/for-the-firs...

An anti-protest law in Australia that was first used to go after climate activists is being used to go after pro-Palestine protesters 7news.com.au/news/south-a...

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

Glaciers in the Alps and Pyrenees have lost about 40% of their mass since 2000. www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...

This is a good read on the high risk approach of VDL to save her green legacy from her own parties hostility and revanchism; if she isn’t going to draw a line soon and be able to enforce it there will be little left of it www.politico.eu/article/ursu...

Figured it was long overdue to erase X and move over here for real. Look forward to hanging out with you all 🌱
