Analysis of the EEI showing changing trends since 2000 and the implications for the near future. open.substack.com/pub/drtomhar... #climatechange #EEI #globalwarming #albedo #GHG #aerosols #energy

POV: You're 16, believe being in advanced placement math class means you're a once in a generation genius, and have just discovered Reddit.

For commentary on what is happening, and what is about to happen, in Germany, follow the incomparable @annettedittert.bsky.social.

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

The Starmer aide/AI stuff feels a bit canary/coalmine because this isn't letting electoral factors triumph over good governance or sinply doing something I don't like - things every government does - this is falling for a scam. There are people in Nunber 10 who are just idiots.

And somehow like too much IR related analysis right now Shapiro simply ignores how Musk and Trump are also torching the basic domestic foundations of US global power When Trump does something stupid it is usually not the product of a 5 dimensional chess master strategy, but rather it is just stupid

Very interested to know who’s producing these extremely odd lines. The same goes for much of the UK / US related briefings which seem similarly bizarre. Idiots or not, this stuff makes them all sound naive at best.

I’ve created a little “Protectors of the Environment and Democracy” Starter Pack 😊 Feel free to follow all and share! go.bsky.app/U4CpgpY

I’m noticing this bold point in the Marrakech Declaration on road safety, adopted by most countries this week. Putting this into practice would be a dramatic shift from valuing motor industry profit to valuing our lives. Declaration here: drive.google.com/file/d/1khEj...

And people wonder why increasing numbers of cyclists and pedestrians are killed year after year *in reality most people don't give a shit as long as they feel big and have 18 cupholders

Ok this is Democrat merch I can get behind! I know exactly where these stickers are going to go...

Sometimes, I wonder what people will think in 50 or 100 years when they take a look into a news archive or a history book ...

Timeline cleanser

Tomorrow is voting day in Germany. I will also host a little Repair Cafė. I have no time for this, like you, but it is important what we do. It takes a little effort to stay a democrat, invest. It's much less effort than to fight it out of the ruins again.

Being a citizen of Austria, the birthplace of Adolf Hitler, and having personally talked to survivors of the Nazi regime, I must emplore you: Stand up against this madness or it might be too late!

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

This is essentially Trump’s policy on flood waters from climate change:

Rehabilitated quarries exhibit richer cultural ecosystem services than abandoned or operational ones, and accessibility significantly influences public engagement. Our findings from a study of sociocultural restoration of quarries. With K. Svobodova, P. Chang & A.S. Olafsson. doi.org/10.1111/rec....

Nationwide 9 day rail strike kicks off in Belgium starting today.

“You don't want companies like Shell to decide what happens. You also want to know what environmental or human rights organizations think about this. That's why there's nothing wrong with giving money to organizations that are struggling to raise their funding.”

Glaciers provide stable melting water to a very large % of all farms in the entire world. When (not if) we lose this stable, slow, dependable glacier melt water, our food system will collapse.

A little reminder for everyone who says, "It takes more time to prove or disprove manmade climate change". The greenhouse effect has been experimentally observed ... ... BEFORE the US Civil War began ... BEFORE Darwin’s Origin of Species was published ... BEFORE Charles Dickens died

Which billionaire are you most excited to die on the battlefield for?

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

They also seem to oppose everything else Trump has done 🤔

"High climate sensitivity implies a large contribution from amplifying feedbacks: water vapour, surface albedo (sea ice/snow) and clouds." "(...) our main concern is the danger of passing the point of no return, when the warming induces shutdown of the AMOC..."

"The El Nino has faded, but the response in the ship aerosol region continues to grow." "An acid test for these acidic aerosols will be provided by the 2025 global temperature." The Acid Test: Global Temperature in 2025 New update from James Hansen and Pushker Kharecha: mailchi.mp/caa/the-acid...

Fantastic @desmog.bsky.social post detailing how solidly Musk is now positioned as one of the single greatest threats to climate action we have ever faced www.desmog.com/2025/02/20/e... @geoffdembicki.bsky.social @joefassler.bsky.social @adambarnett.bsky.social

Truth -- Megan Sahli Wells in @theguardian.com on big oil's desperate efforts to avoid any responsibility for climate fueled disasters.“Accountability is an existential threat to their business model, and their business model is an existential threat to all of us, and that’s the bottom line.”

That is a "cracking price!" What would happen if the public wasn't dependent on private monopolies for expensive energy? Interesting to think about.

China is changing the way it prices wind and solar power, in a shift to create a 'market-based' pricing system The new system will hit wind and solar power generators in the short term, but could make them stronger in the long run Find out more in my latest @carbonbrief.org article ⬇️

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

As the Trump admin buries climate-related research & action, young conservatives are speaking out. They created a weekly podcast: Green Tea Party Radio. greenteapartyradio.podbean.com/e/free-marke... @climatebrad.hillheat.com @insideclimatenews.org @climatenews.bsky.social @gristnews.bsky.social

Renewable energy powered by the sun & the wind offers us the potential to replace the fossil fuel industry with a new energy system. A system that does not exploit us & our planet & ensures that everyone has access to the energy they need to thrive. 5 reasons why renewable energy = social justice👇

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.
