This is really great. Funny, on point, and engaging. Please share, far and wide!

Countries must “defossilise” information systems, after decades of misinformation from the powerful fossil fuel industry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why The public discourse is not keeping up. Here's a series of 5 new studies that climate hawks & journos need to have on their radar 🧵

@rozsavage.bsky.social just gave a great talk outlining the Climate And Nature Bill at the @britishecologicalsociety.org the Nature, Farming and Food event. The Government needs to give it more time for debate and a vote - climate change and nature loss cannot be ignored! @zero-hour.bsky.social

UK media is so wild. It is tough to properly convey how shockingly deceptive this article is. It's desperate I guess but a lot of people will still read this, and trust it bc it's coming from what looks to be a reputable media outlet. archive.ph/1z7Ie

Spain just released a report detailing the reasons behind the country's April blackouts. Britain's Daily Telegraph is now directly lying about the report, falsely claiming that solar power was to blame for the power cuts. The lies are being spread on social media.

PG version of the new "Climate Science Translated" out now! If you felt like sharing, but weren't sure your great-aunt Mabel (or your colleagues...) would appreciate David Cross's strong language, here is an equally punchy yet swearing-free version!

Astonishing: 3% of UK people take 30% of all flights According to a new report, these ultra-frequent-flyers, UFFs (>6 flights/yr) were responsible for 63% of new passenger traffic over the last 20 years. New infrastructure is largely fulfilling the carbon burning habits of this tiny minority

PG Version just dropped. More sharable as no swearing! Just as punchy though 👇🔥🌏 #climate #climateaction #climatescience

🚨NEW from me: the U.S. and Europe could experience a 40% drop in food production this century as temperatures rise, a major new study has found. "It's almost like in this context, those with the most to lose, lose the most," said Prof Andrew Hultgren, a lead author of the study.

China’s electricity mix is shifting rapidly, with renewables expanding at a record pace. For the first time, this surge in clean power has led to a decline in China’s CO2 emissions, despite continued growth in electricity demand. Now coal generation needs to decline going forward.

"Carbon Capture" is a fake solution to a very real problem. Billionaires will make vast amounts more money for building useless infrastructure. In years to come it'll be scrapped and sold for a song having done nothing to help the planet.

Important protest points thread...

We spent decades combatting fake climate science, now we are battling fake climate solutions - at a time when we simply cant afford to make mistakes (last roll of the dice). Oligarchs should not be advising government ⚠️

Therapy for #climate #scientists, and an insight plus a giggle for the rest of us….👇 Share to help us make more 👌 youtu.be/6KZy251WiWc?...

You really need to watch our Outtakes this Friday 🔥🇺🇸 #outtakes #bloopers #behindthescenes #comedy

This is such a perfect example of a society saying it understands climate risks but objectively demonstrating that it absolutely does not...! #climatescience #climaterisk

Oh yessss 👇

➡️ Fossil fuel interests are winning, as we fail to take enough climate action ⬅️ We can solve it, but we need millions more to demand action 👇 #climateaction #comedy #davidcross #trump #cleanenergy @climatescibreak.bsky.social

The vast majority of people want climate action not climate cutbacks. Use this great tool from @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social to tell your senator if you're in the US.

How to get the climate crisis on US national breakfast TV: enlist a comedian! In this instance, the tremendous David Cross...

My favourite @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social tool for understanding public opinion on climate is now available for the UK! 🇬🇧 Find out how many people in your area are worried about climate change, have experienced its impacts, support action from the government and more. The answers may surprise you!

Broadcast meteorologist and UCS Science Defender @johnmoralestv.bsky.social explains how the gutting of federal science—specifically at the National Weather Service and NOAA—is degrading forecast accuracy. “We might not know exactly how strong a hurricane is before it reaches the coastline.”

Watch! It’s excellent: great content and hilarious presentation.

Can someone please troll Farage and Tice with this news.... please....

The impact of EV batteries, whilst hugely overplayed by many, is an issue, well it was… Incredible discovery 🚘 #evs #decarbonisation www.scientificamerican.com/article/revi...

What a fantastic woman, we need more industry whistleblowers 🤩

Pleased to finally launch this in the US today. Now let's see if it works!

Extreme weather events will happen everywhere, not just far away places. Sometimes though, far away, is not far enough…. phys.org/news/2025-06...

Climate comedy for breakfast anyone... @cbsmornings.bsky.social #climate #media

I'm no legal expert but I think this is huge? "private companies can in principle be held liable for their share in causing climate damages. This finding has major ramifications for the wider legal battle to make fossil fuel companies accountable" #climate theconversation.com/one-lawsuit-...

This is incredibly excellent — everyone, please watch and share widely! And I say that not at all because I consulted on the script with the brilliant showrunners haha 😂😇

Love it when leading scientists agree we should swear about the climate crisis 👇👇👇

More of this please. And remember there’s plenty of room!

So so glad you like it 🔥
