Oslo -> Copenhagen by #crossborderrail tomorrow. Hugs to @kristianaas.bsky.social for publishing this guide that eased me into doing it the first time last year. naturvernforbundet.no/melkeruta-me...

“The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up,” Ms. Ortiz said... “I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

The stage of capitalism where companies advertise on a Nazi porn site for fear of government reprisal. gizmodo.com/it-sure-look...

"Despite the science, they want to back the likes of Woodside to drill and pollute for another 50 years. That’s a death warrant for Australia’s corals." These are your partners aren't they @monashuniversity.bsky.social? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Isn’t it time for the folks on the left who aligned themselves with the “anti-woke” movement to admit they were conned?

THINGS YOU CAN BUY WITH ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Shell has a plan* to also cut oil production, with an absolute scope 3 emissions target just like BPs. But because ultra-low-information "professionals" don't actually read any of these policies, it doesn't impact their vague vibes *just as greenwashy as BPs

I am tired of this horseshit. BP didn’t “go green”; it kept drilling for oil and gas in repressive petrostates and creaming billions in profits These analysts actually believed the greenwash, and are now calling for the black pill www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Temperature records are being broken for February for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It's a complete mystery that is baffling scientists; it seems to be something that has emerged without any cause whatsoever known to humankind www.nrk.no/nordland/fle...

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

This is a right-wing media outlet using the false promise of nuclear power in a predatory, cynical and deeply cruel way to exploit the broad systemic failure to enact a just transition away from fossil fuels. Just utterly messed up HT @simonahac.bsky.social

"In short, speculative euphoria is draining from the AGI/fintech boom and the broligarchs need to find a way to prop up their utopian promises." theamericanvandal.substack.com/p/authoritar...

"Big advertisers, who had largely abandoned X after hate speech surged on the platform and ads were seen running alongside pro-Nazi content, have begun to return..Amazon and Apple are both reportedly reinvesting in X campaigns again, a remarkable endorsement from two brands with mass appeal"

From making anti-vax and anti-mask videos during the COVID19 days to appearing at highly paid events and featuring on the national broadcaster in Australia

Why is car bloat almost never mentioned in these articles about rapidly rising road deaths in Australia? Is it a weird blind spot among researchers or is it reasonable to not even suggest it as a possible factor? theconversation.com/australia-wa...

Is there a file (mp3, mp4) to text transcription tool that is (a) free and (b) mostly free of generative AI (machine learning for the transcription itself seems fine?)

Despite his climate leadership stance ahead of COP30, Brazilian President Lula da Silva is pushing to approve oil exploration at the mouth of the Amazon. Sarah Brown for @mongabay.bsky.social (edits by @alecspop.bsky.social) news.mongabay.com/2025/02/lula...

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Okay here's my question...........Sam Fricker has > 5m subs on Youtube but consistently gets a wildly low number of views on *all* his vids, what's the deal? @cameronwilson.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Literally all I could think of when I saw this was the @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social classic

Proposed and ongoing cuts at FEMA and the National Weather Service could endanger public safety when disaster strikes. A critically important analysis from @drjeffmasters.bsky.social and @bhensonweather.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/02/cuts...

New from my team: for the same volume of energy transition minerals it would take to make all of the Pentagon's non-combat vehicles into EVs, we could electrify the entire Postal Service, the entire Parks Service, and put battery backup on more than 7600 federal buildings. 🧵

"As it turns out, I'm right and Joshi is wrong" is something that all my followers can say regularly

I am curious but haven't had much luck finding an answer: obviously GHGs come from burning fossil fuels, not from building power stations. In a system where this load flexibility was fully adopted: what generation types would meet this additional load? And what is the new GHG footprint of this?

NEW: The Energy Department tried to spin its DOGE-directed firing of nuclear-safety officials as affecting just non-critical staff. But this wasn’t close to true. In fact, one of the officials locked out of his work accounts was the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters in the agency.

how many controversial salutes are there. i can only think of the one but admittedly i'm not a salute scholar

Soooo this new @rockymtninst.bsky.social report proposes building wind/solar/batt next to fossil gas plants to meet new data centre load I'd be curious to know more about the total emissions impacts..... rmi.org/how-power-co...

"That is what we — our government, our country, our society — stand to lose if we lose [EJ] from EPA...We will lose the ones whose faces are often the first that communities across our country encounter that make them feel heard and understood by their government instead of ignored and pushed aside"

This is a great @justcalma.bsky.social piece for @theverge.com - Occidental Petroleum has stopped even slightly pretending that its carbon removal technologies are for anything but significantly worsening its supply of toxic, deadly products. www.theverge.com/news/616662/...

is there really anything else we can say at this point

I have no idea how I missed this but this @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social report on Oxy is fantastic carbonmarketwatch.org/wp-content/u...

Why is this so hard for news orgs? www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

"Transmission lines are the unappreciated linchpin of the clean-energy transition, arguably as essential as solar panels in cutting emissions and as important as seawalls in keeping people safe."

It's been an exceptional week for renewable generation in Ireland and wind in particular which has been supplying >50% of the island's electricity needs since Saturday evening 🤯 Wind exceeded 100% of demand early this morning for the second day in a row - an unprecedented back-to-back occurrence 👏

A reminder of the views of the guy who developed this startup and sold it to Occidental Petroleum bsky.app/profile/keta...
