While much of the world suffers because of the American Idiot (as per Green Day) The process of physics carries on. Seemingly at a greater rate than the recent past. Climate change will cause more deaths than a conventional war, far, far more. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...
We took to the Hill to brief Congress on emerging solutions to tackle the wildfire crisis, and share our favorite federal policy strategies for getting these solutions into the field.
Here's a taste of what we talked about.

When an illegal war, likely to cause mass murder, is launched, we have a choice of 2 positions:
1. It's wrong and has to stop.
2. Hurray! Let's join in.
Much of the UK Establishment - Conservatives, Reform, the billionaire media - went straight for Option 2.
Which tells you all you need to know.
3/ First, the raw data. 85 years of daily global temperature anomalies vs the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.
The warming trend is unmistakable, and it's accelerating.
The rolling average has gone from 0.25 in 1940 to 1.5°C.
Data: @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 reanalysis
2/ Inspired by @reescatophuls.bsky.social's brilliant cumulative days charts, if you look carefully, there's a pattern hiding in plain sight: the gap between the first daily occurrence at each threshold & rapid accumulation is shrinking at each level.
I wanted to measure that gap precisely.
1/🌡️ Global warming passed a milestone on 17th Nov 2023 that barely made the news
For the first time ever, the world's daily average temperature was 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels
Here's what the data says about when that becomes the annual norm, & whether it's coming sooner than anyone expects🧵

A North Dakota judge has ruled that @greenpeace.org must pay $345 million to the pipeline company Energy Transfer for its role in protests against construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Greenpeace said it would seek a new trial. By Nate Raymond for @reuters.com:
Operation PPP, Protect Paedo President.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
We are in deep, deep trouble because of operation Protect the Paedo President attack on Iran. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
As wildfires of peatlands occur on a more regular basis, a study has shown that they can emit CO2 for up to 15 years afterwards. This makes the reductions of our own emissions even more necessary. phys.org/news/2026-03...

Humanity, us, have crapped on the land, we've crapped in the streams, the rivers, the seas and the oceans. We've crapped in the Troposphere and now where crapping in the Stratosphere. It's going to comeback and haunt us. It will be a nightmare. theconversation.com/space-launch...

A 70 year old experiment shows that unbalanced fertilization, especially low levels of potassium with high levels of nitrogen in soils, has long-term effects on plant and soil health. phys.org/news/2026-03...
And yet, as the EU considers a ban on non-essential uses of PFAS, the industry falls into hysterical predictions this will lead directly to the total collapse of medical systems. For the record, the ban would apply to non-essential uses only & firms have long transition times to find alternatives.
There has always conflict around oil because oil has been the preeminent source of power since World War II.
Renewables are primarily contested because they threatened the power base in the world order.
As I said earlier - this is a great idea!
Win for the climate
Win for less city pollution
Win for everyone's pockets

Bush’s approval ratings before the Iraq war started were super high, Trump is at 36%- if there was a real opposition party they could use this to rally against the state but they’re just as beholden to forever war as the other side
It's not "sectarian" to oppose genocide.
