The Point, However, Is to Change It | Los Angeles Review of Books In advance of Andreas Malm and Wim Carton’s forthcoming book “The Long Heat: Climate Politics When It’s Too Late,” Genevieve Guenther revisits the authors’ 2024 title “Overshoot: How the World Surrend...

After Paris, the IPCC justified the expansion of the fossil-fuel system by implicitly promising that we could "overshoot” 1.5C yet ultimately meet the target anyway.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights." Charlie Kirk, April 5, 2023, TPUSA Faith event in Utah.

Apparently, Mr. Kirk gave his life for something he strongly believed in.

Not a good photo I know but pretty sure I found the spot where the 1920s image was taken... and as I thought, the north bank of the Teign gorge is definitely quite a bit more wooded than it was then.

Barring some remarkable change in water use (primarily agricultural) and in local and national politics, someday satellites will be documenting a similar disappearance of Utah’s Great Salt Lake—with dire consequences for the millions who live near it.

NSW locks in great koala national park and brings in immediate ban on logging Minns government to create one of the largest national parks in the state as forest advocates welcome ‘historic’ victory

Currently travelling on the night train via Stockholm to the #ESEH2025 conference in Uppsala. I am very grateful for the opportunity to discuss initial ideas on how stranded #whales were used by pamphlet authors of different denominations in their arguments.

I am extremely happy to have had the honour to open #ESEH2025, the 13th #ESEH conference, in beautiful Uppsala! Luckily the attendance was greater than it looks from the first picture 😁

Now listening to two amazing keynotes by Heli Huhtamaa and Stefania Barca.

#envhist

Brilliant and full first day of #ESEH2025. Stefania Barca’s key note on environmental history and the labour movement was inspiring. Our double panel on energy transition and energyscapes went really well. As usual my mind is whirring with all the ideas.

If you are looking for some polar content for your undergraduate or high school classes, consider this material I put together for the Newberry Library! #envhist
