We had only recently passed 350 ppm when I started my PhD in Earth System Science, already a value understood to be dangerous and a threat to society.

And now, 33 years and 30 COPs later, we are at a value that is unprecedented for the past 3 million years and maybe even the past 8 million years.

I received an email of this kind from “Samantha Harvey” a while back.

Yes, All Those Author Services and Book Club Emails Are Fake, and No, Don’t Send Them Any Money If you’re an author, or honestly if you just happen to be standing near an author these days, then you have probably seen a flood of emails in the past couple of months promising you that who…

Over on Whatever today I confirm that, indeed, all those emails authors and other writers are getting promising access to readers and book clubs and such are 100% scams, share all the scam emails I got just this morning, and note why they are all awful and bad:

...and, the article adds, we don't necessarily own our online data.

Government’s last chance to keep control of digital Digital sovereignty isn’t optional anymore. We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data

So glad you made the move!

It was very hectic, you’re right! And we had a family wedding too! But totally amazing and I wouldn’t trade any of it.

Thank you 😊

It does feel great! And it’s definitely been a very long game! Hang on in there, everyone!

I did, absolutely. They were a few months apart so I could concentrate on that one, but also was doing final edits for the other at the same time! They both helped with publicity and marketing, while I joined socials, improved my website and did some interviews! An unusual year!

It really is! Thank you so much 😊

Two books were published in 2025 by two different independent publishers! Aerth came out in January, with @weatherglassbooks.bsky.social; The Wilder Path with @aurorametro.bsky.social in June. So very exciting. I've been writing for a long time and these are my first major publications.

These ads are poisoning trust in media ‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

An important new book from @commscholar.bsky.social looks at native advertising, a practice allowing fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads as journalism in mainstream outlets.

It adds a hugely overlooked piece to the convo about corporate influence in media www.exxonknews.org/p/these-ads-...

Thanks so much! I’m totally amazed!

Such good news! Congratulations!

A “best book” of 2025 according to @thetelegraph.bsky.social !! Am amazed and thrilled!

The trouble is, it's going to be random from now on...

There’s another wave of author impersonators offering consultations/mentoring for a price. (I got one from “Claire Keegan” telling me I’m very promising!) I’m sure you are great, but I didn’t email to tell you how swell you are. Here’s info on book scams: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/prh-fraud/

AI has scraped my second book and produced this shitty comic. Firstly, the winds are in all the wrong places. Secondly, what the hell is happening in that second panel? Thirdly, this is plagiarism and totally unlicensed. Have any other authors had this done 'for free' to their books?

I saw this in the Prado Museum about 17 years ago with my 7-year-old - I tried to get him interested but he was more keen on the idea of an ice cream! But I have never forgotten it. (I think we managed about 3 minutes!)

Thank you so much, Sarah! It was great working together too!
