NEW SONG
‘Batty Tonight’

A playful folk song that gently invites us to slow down, care, and rediscover belonging – with bats and with each other. A reminder that sometimes, to find our way forward, we may need to be a little batty – and connected.

A new era of bioclimatic extremes in the terrestrial Arctic Long-term climate data suggest that the Arctic is entering a new era of bioclimatic extremes threatening cold ecosystems.

"the Arctic is entering a novel era of bioclimatic extremes with likely severe consequences on cold ecosystems."

Probably fine.

The New York Times knows this is disinformative fossil fuel industry propaganda but published it anyway. This (via @amywestervelt.bsky.social) might have something to do with it:

Latin American countries are fast adopting EVs, which are more efficient than petrol and diesel cars, and help reduce fossil fuel imports.

The Strange and Totally Real Plan to Blot Out the Sun and Reverse Global Warming A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat. The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

Politico finally published the article so link below will get you past the paywall:

PS and for folks new to solar radiation management theories, "Reverse Global Warming" is a dangerous misrepresentation "temporarily mask certain symptoms" is a more accurate description of the claims. #ClimateSky

Glad to see more coverage on Stardust Solutions the terrifying military-linked startup trying to normalize solar geoengineering. This is disaster profiteering at it's dumbest and most dangerous.

Sadly paywalled. Anyone got a free link? This new threat deserves far more attention. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality The world bet on collective but voluntary action to keep global warming at a safe level.

A bunch of reactionary centrist pundits have decided that climate change isn't that big of a deal anymore. These climate scientists strongly disagree.

Hmmm ... how to adjudicate? 🤷

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.

Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.

Or both.

Media need to stop selling this false dichotomy too
