There are two proximal reasons for the emergence of Greenland as a geopolitical hotspot. But the cause that underlies both is climate change. @cogwbur.bsky.social @wbur.org www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

Trump's attack on Harvard is part of his retribution tour. The guy who said there were "very fine people on both sides" (ie. neo-Nazis) at Charlottesville is now sooooo concerned about anti-semitism. Harvard's website highlights the critical research that Trump is cutting. harvard.edu

Rescinding the endangerment finding will be torturous for the EPA. And what this author doesn't mention is that the Inflation Reduction Act amended the Clean Air Act, effectively codifying the SCOTUS case that the endangerment act is based on. www.vox.com/climate/4038... @umairfan.bsky.social

Boston #mapoli mayoral candidate Posh Kraft has firmly rejected the idea of safe Complete Streets for Boston. So too has Trump’s USDOT. Boston under a Kraft/Trump regime would give drivers unrestricted use of city streets & leave all other city residents to fend for themselves.

Project 2025 has a whole chapter on USAID that contains all the things you'd expect (eliminate DEI, climate, abortion, gender, compete with Belt & Road, etc.). It does not call for a rogue billionaire to burn it to the ground. So even though they've had a plan for 2 years, they are now improvising.

Attempting to restore an ocean ecology disrupted by pollution and climate change is a delicate, tedious, and sisyphean task. But there are dedicated people working to make eelgrass great again. Good reporting from WBUR (@moranwriter.bsky.social) www.wbur.org/news/2025/01...

Too funny. But really, it’s beyond appalling that a guy so blatantly unqualified and utterly lacking in character and integrity could be in line to lead the US military. I expect disastrous results.

SCOOP: Tim Ryan, a former U.S. Congressman, was paid $250,000 last year by a fossil fuel lobbying group to promote methane gas as "clean energy" Ryan promoted gas on MSNBC as recently as last week, with no disclosure of his position with the lobbying group From me and @ariellesamuel.bsky.social

A nauseating article about Chris Wright in WSJ (gift link). He has internalized Bjørn Lomborg's "climate change is good" spiel. The dominant talking point in Trump 2.0 is that climate change is mild and manageable. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The United States is now producing enough domestic solar to cover nearly all annual deployment. That's what policy can do, folks! And a majority of these jobs are in Republican districts.

It feels like there's a pivot away from less capital-intensive energy like solar toward nuclear, and the new administration will likely accelerate it. Is nuclear now renewables' big competitor? 🔌💡 sustainability.atmeta.com/blog/2024/12...
