Dr Adam Levy

It's so wild to have the language of science used to gaslight us in the most dangerous of ways.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

thanks so much, Tom 💚

An excellent summary by @climateadam.bsky.social
Climate change isn't tomorrow's problem. It is killing people today.

loool I said COP21 not COP30.

to be fair, it has been hard to build meaningful momentum since the Paris Climate Agreement...

it can be pretty hard to keep both in mind!

As our leaders struggle to build any meaningful momentum at COP21, a reminder:

The Climate Crisis *IS* a Health Crisis

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out

I'm not surprised.

I'm still disappointed.

65% of people *understand* that global warming is affecting the weather

Israeli soldiers speak out on killings of Gaza civilians IDF soldiers tell documentary of opening fire unprovoked and arbitrary designations of who was an enemy

I know the world finds it very easy to dismiss any and everything Palestinians say (and document).

But how do you explain away the countless accounts of Israeli soldiers themselves?

Powerful reminder to make clear where I'm getting my info from - not just for my audience's sake, but for the sake of the orgs doing the investigations.

OK. Some (mostly negative) thoughts on Bill Gates.

With special shoutout to @timinclimate.bsky.social & @drkatemarvel.bsky.social for their wise words.

thanks for sharing, Stefan!

Indeed this is an excellent nuanced and optimistic response to Bill Gates by @hausfath.bsky.social !
(Though admittedly less entertaining than @climateadam.bsky.social.)
It’s a good example of how to debate constructively about solving the #climatecrisis.

every time you say "I don't believe in AI" an internet friendship dies

YouTube video by Sphera "Climate change is not real": what do I say to that?

Really strong summary of how (and whether) to talk to people who deny climate science.

Great work from the Sphera Network!

yeah ceasefire seems to be one of those self explanatory words that somehow is never used to mean what it seems like it ought to mean.

Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 60 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile Netanyahu ordered strikes on Tuesday evening after firefight between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants

I can't begin to imagine the anguish of believing it's over. Safe. That you can maybe start to live again.

And then having a loved one taken from you.

22 of the 60 killed were children.

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

There's this pattern of asking perfectly legit questions

(why do so many need foodstamps??)

But then having complete disinterest in the answer

(because wages and social security aren't enough for many people to *feed themselves*)

YouTube video by ClimateAdam Is climate change fuelling mega hurricanes?

I am deeply concerned about the impact that Melissa will have.

And - yes - climate change is raising the risk of hurricanes like these. In myriad ways.

Renewable energy investment should come from defence budgets, say retired military leaders Former European officers say spending on low-carbon power would make nations more resilient to threats from potential aggressors

Exactly what I'd expect from hippies like... [checks notes] former military leaders...

wow - that's an oooold vid! think I need to update it sometime!

Mosquitoes found in Iceland for first time after record heat Previously the country was one of the world's only mosquito-free zones.

This feels like a real bad omen...
