“Farage is doing well because he’s pushing for a massive shake up to the system. We need to counter that by pushing for an even bigger shake up – by redistributing wealth, investing in communities, and tackling the climate crisis," says Zak. Read: wcwd.substack.com/p/no-growth-...

3 lessons here: 1/ fossil asset owners will keep these assets as long as gov'ts will let them. 2/ oil and gas net zero pledges are an elaborate distraction -- both for ESG optimists and consumers 3/ liberals take note: the market won't supply decarbonization. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

‘There is a habit of people saying "science should not be political", but science changes our world and our possibilities so it has no choice but to be political. This collection of essays is a vital read in a world so often obscured by those whose only interest is money’ - @robinince.bsky.social

The US may be days not weeks from Dictatorship (when law is irrelevant). What is the worst case for Europe? What if Trump allies with Russia and sanctions Ukraine supporters? How long would Europe resist if [e.g.] the US, Russia and Gulf States block oil shipments? youtu.be/00AWWiCzD_E?...

“Energy Transfer and the fossil fuel industry do not understand the difference between entities and movements. You can’t bankrupt the movement. You can’t silence the movement. There will be a backlash and a price to pay when you pursue these kinds of tactics.”

"I honestly did not expect to see modern examples of the things that I had been reconstructing emerge so early in this process. We see the collapse of marine icesheets... we've got ocean circulation slowing down... we've got sea level rising faster than previously forecast"- Dr. Christina Riesselman

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

It's striking the extent to which there's never any justification given for any of this beyond "it's too many people" or "it's actually fake" and no apparent planning behind any of it. It's the aesthetics of "move fast and break things" without any discernible direction or purpose. It's cosplay.

A constant reminder that even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as they did during the pandemic lockdown from now to 2030, we still wouldn't meet our emission target to keep global warming below 1.5°C.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.
