When someone is cheating to win, but still loses, they automatically conclude the other side must be cheating. The solution? Cheat harder. hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost...

Red meat for the oil and gas zealots. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

There’s lots of people doing NOTHING on #ClimateChange & some are doing everything they can to MAKE IT WORSE. Today’s a great day to support folks trying to MAKE IT BETTER. Donate to the Calgary Climate Hub. Every cent helps www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/donate #Climate #EnergyTransition #abpoli

Done!

"Alberta government ministers are as jumpy as scalded cats, fearful that the health contract scandal has spilled over to their departments." calgaryherald.com/news/alberta...

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

Shutting down existing EV charging hardware, which has already been paid for, is the definition of government waste. But I don't hear DOGE doing anything about this… 🙄 electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Is global warming affecting regional drought across Europe and Asia? Yes. New paper by me, @dustybowl.bsky.social and his dad agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

"Here in Georgia, Hurricane Michael (2018) and Hurricane Helene (2024) caused billions of dollars in damages to our agriculture and timber economies. Georgia grows a lot of peanuts, pecans, and cotton, which means you likely paid more for a shirt or peanut butter along the way." #ClimateCosts #Food

Weaponized unreality really does a number on our sensemaking at scale. We could have listened to those of us studying the threat it posed but instead…. We got fascism and a hypersurveillance society.

More info in this latest article, although to be clear what has been terminated is the IPCC Working Group 3 technical support unit and fed travel to next weeks’s meeting where the report chapter outlines are to be approved, after which authors will be solicited.

And, for the record, global sea-ice extent, already at an all-time low for the date, is going the wrong way.

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.

THINGS YOU CAN BUY WITH ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS

Great piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social. Reminder that this isn’t the first time the federal workforce has been resegregated: Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 order to impose Jim Crow rolled back almost half a century of progress that saw Black people working at every level of the federal government.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Sharing with your friends always feels good. Your heart knows it. Same for climate choices. When you think about future generations when choosing products, protecting nature, or making lifestyle choices, you'll make better decisions. And you'll sense it when you do the right thing.

Fossil fuel companies building renewables will build them how they've always built fossil fuels: oversized, environmentally destructive and socially corrosive. They're just burning through goodwill at an astonishing rate

In case you missed it... Ever notice Canadian hockey fans never chant CA! NA! DA! Yeah, sounds dumb. But so does the other thing. youtu.be/GXetp-xfqOY?...

🟡 Who is Importing Donald Trump’s Anti-Climate Agenda to Germany? @correctiv.org investigation maps the influential axis of think tanks and politicians encouraging Europe to “drill baby drill”. Read the new English translation on DeSmog here 👇 www.desmog.com/2025/02/21/w...

Trump is opening his administration to fracking billionaires, oil lobbyists and far-right climate deniers. Our global team of investigative reporters is tracking the damage. Here's a starter pack of DeSmog investigators and some of the climate disinfo journalists we follow. go.bsky.app/MrJdbio

‼️The US-based @ipcc.bsky.social technical support unit (TSU) for Working Group 3 Co-Chairs has been terminated, and the US won’t be attending next week’s IPCC meeting where the AR7 chapter outlines will be approved. More by @afreedma.bsky.social here:

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

US should be building lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries which are cheaper and safer. China knows how. US does not. US should be open to learning from Chinese firms. The tech was invented in the US and transferred to China. Flip the script. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

Oh, Canada! 🇨🇦 🏒🇨🇦

No notes

Drove through Southern California today and really enjoyed seeing the fields of wind turbines, every one standing tall like a proud middle finger to climate change deniers

As I have always said, if green steel is ever to achieve globally meaningful scale, it will happen in a country with unlimited high-grade ore, unlimited cheap renewables, and unlimited cheap money. That sounds a lot more like Australia than Sweden. #Hydrogen reneweconomy.com.au/green-iron-f...

Hey!! I had a really good chat w/ @mikedigirolamo.bsky.social from @mongabay.bsky.social: about companies ditching climate targets, carbon offsets, and a big old plug for bsky at the end Also features frequent fact-checks of my claims by Mike, which I genuinely appreciate - go listen!

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Canadians don't like the thought of U.S. companies taking greater ownership in our natural resource extraction. Bit late for that. @rochellebaker1.bsky.social reports www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/14/n...
