It is both true: 1) Fossil fuels made possible unprecedented human prosperity during the last 150 years. 2) Their byproducts are harmful. We've reached a level where we can replace fossil fuels and still ensure human well-being, but some prefer to keep polluting. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/c...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

I’ve been reading Hannah Arendt and just this morning read a passage about Nazis attempting to excuse their complicity in mass killing by arguing it was an “act of state”, a term of legal art which puts certain actions outside the usual legal process. Then I open BlueSky and see this:

Aggressively framing climate solutions in way that appeases racists, nationalists and climate deniers results in two things: - Those people continue hating the technologies as much as they ever did - You now have a right-wing climate movement www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Diese Woche hat Bundesrat Rösti beschlossen, als Folge des Volksneins zum weiteren Ausbau der Autobahnen wesentliche Teile der für 2035 beschlossenen Bahnprojekte zu stoppen. Das ist eine offensive Verdrehung und Verhöhnung des Volkswillens.

Almost every pundit in Germany said that Germany’s conservatives would never work with the far-right AfD. And yet here we are. I remember when many of us warned about Farage getting a standing ovation in Berlin as the AfD’s honoured guest. And yet here we are. I just wish more people had listened.

Short presentation (< 15mins) on just how vanishingly small are our remaining carbon budgets for 1.5 & 2°C - both globally & when downscaled to wealthy industrialised nations. In a handful of years our Paris 2°C commitment will go the way same way as has 1.5°C. climateuncensored.com/irelands-cli...

Unfassbar, dass eine Büro zur Gleichstellung von einem cis-Mann geleitet wurde Jedoch sind mehrere 🇨🇭 Büros zur Rässismusbekampfung & zu Migrationsfragen sind von weissen Menschen ohne Migrationshintergrund geleitet. Kein Wunder, dass die Schweiz die Talente von Migranti & PoC zu wenig nutzt!

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org

As an ex-climate scientist in 2008, I couldn't understand this fascination with 1.5-2.0 C at the COP We needed to stop warming ASAP; it seemed politicians chose weak targets to not have to act Now a rich city is burning. Can we start to fight like hell? www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/ene...

''We are now teetering on the edge of passing the 1.5C level," said Copernicus climate deputy director @oceanterra.org That's why we fight like hell to keep fossil fuels in the ground - every 0.1 degree matters, as the L.A. fires painfully show. www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/ene...

Natürlich soll der Kampf gegen fossile Brennstofffirmen weiter geführt werden, aber es scheint, dass wir gleichzeitig solidarisches Preppen brauchen, wie @tadziomueller.bsky.social argumentiert. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/u...

The footage of preventable climate breakdown from LA mirrors the climate fiction book, The Deluge from Stephen Markley. Read it to find out how much worse climate collapse can be, but also how to crawl our way back to a livable planet. My book review: medium.com/@parekhpayal...
