What are we doing at @cop30brazil.bsky.social?

Our best weapon against climate change is clear, evidence-based understanding of the actions available, and COP30 is a chance to share our research with policymakers and international representatives. @shaunfitzgerald.bsky.social @hughhunt.bsky.social

Can we cool the Earth? Cambridge scientists to lead research Rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to reduce global warming and limit the associated effects of climate change. However, many are concerned that current global pledges to decarboni...

This is worth signing up for. Anyone in Cambridge, let's watch together over a beer.

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

Wildfire climate connection Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last ...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

The Growing Push to Ban Renewable Energy in Oklahoma Will this renewable energy powerhouse become the first state to ban renewable energy?

Worth noting that it doesn't take a moratorium to drag renewables growth to an effective halt. Texas' last legislative session included an array of bills (most of which did not pass) that would have made new renewables difficult or impossible to build. heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

The U.S. Is Building an Early Warning System to Detect Geoengineering Balloon launches from around the world are part of a new kind of global alarm system: One that can detect if another country tries to dim the sun.

shame that the NYT wrote about science to detect geoengineering — and didn't mention that we are about to have a massive loss in our capacity to monitor the changing stratosphere due to aging satellites going out of service and not having ready replacements
