This is what we all feared. The United States and Russia bullying brave President Zelensky into a terrible deal. Time for the United Kingdom and Europe to stand up to Trump and seize the Russian assets so we can go it alone.

We haven’t seen atmospheric CO2 levels consistently this high in 14 MILLION years. We’re in so so SO much trouble, & pretty much every politician & journalist has just decided to ignore it. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy (graph by Dr Thomas Ronge)

The stages in a Donald Trump deal: 1. Lie about something being a problem 2. Do something to "fix" it, which causes an actual problem 3. Say you won't reverse what you've done 4. Reverse what you've done 5. Say "Art of the deal"

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Why are UK electricity bills so high? It's fossil gas, stupid! Many want to make us believe that it's because of renewable energy. But look at the data and you find very little impact of renewables but a huge impact of the cost of fossil gas. HT @daanwalt3r.bsky.social @ember-energy.org

Climate Change Committee: "We estimate that the net costs of Net Zero will be around 0.2% of UK GDP per year on average in our pathway, with investment upfront leading to net savings during [2038-2042]." Kemi Badenoch: "Impossible without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us"

🚨NEW: climate inaction will cost more than a third of global GDP this century, but an investment of less than 2% GDP now will reduce harms by 90% - a "massive opportunity for humanity", finds a report from Boston Consulting Group and University of Cambridge.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Republican “free speech” = they get to say racist slurs in public while you get arrested for protesting them.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Once again I'm begging journalists — and climate people! — to stop using the phrase "climate goals" and start saying "climate safety" or "climate stability." A "goal" sounds like an optional nice-to-achieve, but a relatively safe, stable climate is actually essential for human functioning.

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

God this is such a good video. I cannot believe we still have to put up with the absolute dumbest people spreading fossil fuel misinformation in media in 2025

BREAKING 🚨: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK. The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebank’s approval has been overturned. This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.

Most of us probably don’t read the thing that’s at the end of @theguardian.com articles but they’re not wrong.

Physics does not care about our politics, and ultimately the world will continue to warm until we get global emissions of CO2 to (net) zero.

This is the colleague that the likes of Cleverly, Badenoch & Jenrick are refusing to defend...

NEW: I've just been passed this excellent article from the Papua New Guinea Courier's London correspondent.

I spent days digging into the public statements of every single Trump Cabinet pick to see what they've said about climate change and it was a horrible process but I did it because Journalism Is Important and climate change is actually real so please click it I beg you heated.world/p/trumps-ent...

@dieworkwear.bsky.social You are needed at the palace.

Can't recommend highly enough giving Carl Bovis a follow. His bird photography is quite simply outstanding.
