In 'Squid and Socialists', Donghyun Woo analyses how squid in the East Sea undermined production quotas and eluded state planning from 1945 to 1964, showing how nonhuman herd agency exposed the limits of Pyongyang’s efforts to discipline oceanic nature. 🗃️ #envhist doi.org/10.3828/whpe...

Only seven new petrol-powered cars sold in Norway in January
Data shows 29 hybrid and 98 diesel cars also sold, while the figure for battery electric vehicles was more than 2,000
In #Norway, only 7 #gasoline powered #autos were sold in January. Remarkable! It only underlines how far the #USA is falling behind the globe in eliminating #fossilfuels.

Coal power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, after each nation added record amounts of clean energy

The interesting thing is that organizers at both prayer breakfasts clearly *still* try to be bipartisan, except that Trump’s speeches at the event just repeatedly derail those efforts.

We know this news may bring disappointment, sadness, or questions. Climate Generation has always been about collective action and shared responsibility. That spirit continues now, even as this chapter comes to a close.
This is incredibly sad news, @climategenorg.bsky.social 😰
My own small outreach budget ran dry six months ago, and I’ve had to radically rethink how I keep doing this work myself.
While many issues factor into funding, there’s no question it’s a hard, hard moment for climate action in the U.S. 💔

Perhaps it was coincidental timing, but nothing underscores the collapse of the Washington Post like firing most of the Pulitzer prize winning #climate reporters the very same day as their opinion pages publishes a BS screed by climate misinformer Bjorn Lomborg.

Breaking: Washington Post gutting its climate team
Clean energy dies in darkness. Courtesy of Jeff Bezos.
Nice piece by @sammyroth.bsky.social about the WP gutting its terrific climate team but it’s not because Bezos doesn’t care about climate. The Bezos Earth Fund does some great stuff. It’s because Bezos is using the WP to suck up to Trump.
