🚨 The 2024 European State of the Climate (ESOTC) was released today. There are absolutely beautiful data visualizations throughout this report, but they also reveal some very alarming statistics of climate trends and extremes. Check it out: doi.org/10.24381/14j... #ESOTC2024 🧪⚒️🌊

Of course. But NIMB.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

What I’ve learned after 40 years as the Observer’s science editor. Almost as amazing as the knowledge we have gained in the past four decades is the fact that some people continue to deny the damage we are doing to our world. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

This will make #Trump look really really weak on #Tariff #negotiations leverage

Nicht nur Paris, ein Blick zu anderen Städten in Europa reicht; sei es Kopenhagen, London, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Oslo, Wien, Barcelona… wir sind nicht nur gefühlt rückständig…

When the entire world is under attack by a sociopathic con man, enabled by the most idiotic, corrupt and soulless GOP Senate, House, SCOTUS, and Billionaire bullies ever seen, helping others means COMMUNITY RESISTANCE, education, art and 🧪 science, staying healthy and hopeful and enjoying life.

Sometimes the vernacular of one’s own culture is needed to express a specific feeling and this expresses my feelings well (as a NZer)

Dead cat bounce in the markets today. @climatecasino.net

And even a circus can have too many clowns.

Finally an idea that can unite us as a nation (the second sentence, not the first one)

Some correlation and causation going on here along with a couple of trends.

48 DEGREES IN MEXICO Exactly as your author forecasted well in advance,here we are: 48.0C/118.4F at El Pujal and Santa Rosa in Mexico on 3 April, highest temperature in the Northern Hemisphere so far in 2025 and close to the hottest in the world ever recorded for this time of the year.

Here's to a damaged economy having lower GHG emissions.🍺

The market economy can be a wonderful thing.

Republicans in March 2020: It's patriotic to die so the economy keeps growing. Republicans in March 2025: It's patriotic to endure economic decline and recession.

Not a priority. youtu.be/wtSSP8FVUGY?...

We got no business over there. JK youtu.be/wtSSP8FVUGY?...

Seems like a pretty strong point.

“We’re Americans” 🇺🇸 😕

A white nationalist in the White House is insisting “rogue Marxist judges” “must be stopped.”

A criminal, rapist barely sentient turnip to be exact.

In case anyone was wondering, the United States isn’t able to deploy USAID’s DART emergency response teams or international search and rescue (USAR) to this or any other crisis.

I was scheduled to be available to support a USAID DART response during March/April. If I hadn’t been purged in January, it’s possible I could have been activated for this quake if the request had been made. But I am on the sidelines now, as is America.
