Is Trump the end of the green transition or the start of America’s decline? A timely and provocative essay from @nicholasbeuret.bsky.social theecologist.org/2025/feb/20/...

In light of Kemi Badenoch’s speech, here’s a quick reminder that climate change is not ‘woke’. www.businessgreen.com/blog-post/43...

Love it.😄🤣😄

There isn’t enough ‘sustainable’ aviation fuel to make a dent in our emissions – and there won’t be for years theconversation.com/there-isnt-e...

💯 "A voting system that means millions of people's votes don't count. A voting system that most people don't want to continue with." 👏 @alexsobel.co.uk calls for a National Commission for Electoral Reform during today's debate on Proportional Representation

"Scientists say the current period is likely to be the warmest the planet has been in 125,000 years." This is the context for technocratic debates on climate budgets, whether we should be opening new oilfields and building new roads & runways etc. etc. It's the climate, stupid! shorturl.at/F3qEJ

We're running a session at the RGS conference this year on 'The Politics of Emotions in a 'Net Zero' Transition'. Hosted by the @energygeography.bsky.social Please make a submission if you're interested (!) :-)

In the context of all the debate about whether or not adding more airport runways might challenge our emissions targets (it definitely will), it's interesting to note that emissions from aviation has risen faster than for any other modes in the UK in recent years.

What if worsening climate disruption doesn't act as a wake up call? An emergent feature of the new climate reality: anger at the failure of incumbent parties to protect us from climate disruption is benefiting political forces that deny climate change and delay action But we can break this loop 🧵

Enjoyed speaking to Tommy for this. It's a brilliant piece! How we ended up nearly opening a new coal mine, and what to do about it.

We are inviting applications for session sponsorship for the RGS-IBG Annual Conference 2025. We welcome proposals for all session types, on any topic that includes investigation of energy geographies (broadly defined) ideally linking to the conference theme. Apply here: forms.gle/YfCXQUpD1RcG...

This is such a key point from @bankfieldbecky.bsky.social. A government that vocally led on climate action would be in line with what a large majority actually want. greenallianceblog.org.uk/2024/11/27/w...

Late to posting this, but check out our 'Priorities for public engagement in climate policy' report, with @bankfieldbecky.bsky.social and rest of team. Time for govt to step up to the mark. climatecitizens.org.uk/new-report-p...

This is one of the most crucial long term investments we can make in our future.

Human-caused climate change made Spain’s rainfall around Valencia about 12% heavier & doubled likelihood of a storm that intense according to a rapid but partial analysis by a group of international scientists who study extreme weather www.independent.co.uk/news/spain-a...
