Something to pay attention to this over time…

I can’t help but think billionaires will profit big from the stock market drop.
Everyday people? Not so much.

1st glacier declared dead from climate change seen in before and after images Satellite images taken more than three decades apart show the disappearance of Iceland's Okjökull, the first glacier to be officially declared dead as a result of human-caused climate change.

Wonder if any one saw this… kind of a big deal www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

What Now for Climate Under Trump? Act Locally Trump is working to sabotage climate solutions — but there’s a lot regular people can do to push cities and states to fill the growing federal void.

What a horrifying doozy these first two weeks of the Trump administration have been. YOWZA. I’ve been pacing myself by focusing on climate policy, since it’s nearly impossible to keep up with everything. Here, in @rollingstone.com, is what I’m thinking so far:

Years ago I saw John Yoo speak openly about torture. When asked if torturing a child would be justified to extract information his response was “it depends”. From his moral compass it is ok. Even more jarring, the question to Yoo was torture from “crushing a child’s testicles”. No joke.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."

Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Warming climate created 'perfect storm' for catastrophic fires, NASA researcher says

The story in the data is horrific!

Trump team takes aim at crown jewel of US climate research A top aide to the president-elect wants tighter control over the National Climate Assessment.

Last time, they didn’t even find out NCA4 was happening until too late to do anything more than delay its release + publicly contradict its conclusions.

As one of the only non-fed authors on Vol 1, I ran a Twitter thread tracking + rebutting these claims.

Not surprised by this at all ⬇️

From nuts to kelp: The 'carbon-negative' foods that help reverse climate change Eating low-carbon foods helps reduce emissions, but some foods actually suck up carbon from the atmosphere for good, leaving the climate in a better place. Could we eat more of them?

Great piece, you had my heart at “carbon neutral” beer.

There are so many zero carbon food business ideas here. Wow.

Thanks! We need the kelp.

Polar Preet aims to be first woman to trek unsupported to North Pole Record-breaking adventurer Preet Chandi, 36, of Derby, wants to set off in March and hopes to complete the trek in around 70 days.

A little inspiration for setting those 2025 goals 😉

A sneak peek at the top 5 climate technologies set to rule 2025, including:

🌊 Floating solar

One can live on the cutting edge of human thought, or the comfort of mental manipulation:
Open vs Closed
Curious vs Dogmatic
Flexible vs Fixed
To question our belief systems (bs for short) is liberating.
But to simply swap it for another is a trap.
I’m open to being wrong on this….

2024 was a fantastic year for energy storage Batteries reshaped the power grid in California and Texas, showing the rest of the country what's possible when the tech is allowed to flourish.

I have zero patience for people complaining about subsidies for renewables. They are DWARFED by those for fossil fuels, per IMF below.

And I categorically disagree with those wanting to claim implicit subsidies aren’t subsidies. That’s utter nonsense.

~$42 trillion in FF subsidies 2025-2030.

Ohio lawmakers give coal-burning coke plant renewable energy credits Ohio lawmakers passed legislation Thursday that will give a coal-burning coke plant in southern Ohio renewable energy credits.

This is asinine. Coal plants pollute & prematurely kill more people than any other fuel source.

They pay precious little for those damages but we give them renewable energy credits for exporting steam to a petrochemical company no less?!

This is paying for greenwashing.

Perhaps I’m stuck on stories. Reading to much Greek Mythology (thank you Stephen Fry)? But incredible how we shape our thinking through stories and have for millennia.

Rainn Wilson on spirituality, Star Trek and why hope is punk From Dwight Schrute to spiritual climate advocate.

Great piece here on Rainn Wilson. Does the climate movement need more spirituality in the mix?
Certainly better stories that capture our imagination.

Can’t wait! This sounds amazing.

How heat pumps can maintain their momentum in 2025 and beyond A host of local, state, and federal policies have been enacted to spur heat pump adoption. Now, advocates are assessing how to keep things going under…

Heat pumps are gaining market share but still need a full-court press from government and the private sector to cut carbon and energy bills for U.S. homes at scale—and Trump 2.0 won't make that easy. Here's how heat pump advocates plan to take on 2025:

Good storytelling shifts beliefs.
Great storytelling creates believers.
Exceptional storytelling builds belief systems.

But poor storytelling? It’s quickly forgotten.

How well are we putting into the storytelling of climate innovation, solutions, mitigation and science?
