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...

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...

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...
