Again, if a year ago you said “If Trump wins he’s going to destroy the satellites that measure greenhouse gases by making NASA crash them into the earth’s atmosphere,” how many people would have believed you?

The world is letting them

also my periodic rant that much of what we call the “tech” industry is really ad sales (google, facebook, etc) and banking (venture capital and startups), while loads of actual cool technology doesn’t get labelled “tech” because it doesn’t come from the téchnologié region of California

On Saturday we marched to Oxford airport, a private jet hub, to protest against the highly-polluting flights of the rich #BanPrivateJets

16/ 🔖The Court accepts the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as representing best available science and recognize, on the basis of scientific facts presented to it, that there is a climate emergency.

Eyes on Togo. #TogoLibre Togo protests against long-time dictator Gnassingbe.

1 in 3 Tuvaluans have entered a ballot for a climate visa to Australia, whose government is fuelling their displacement by approving massive carbon bombs.

Tuvalu may be uninhabitable in our lifetime. Labor must listen to our Pacific neighbours, not the greedy fossil fuel lobby.

“There’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody is asleep
…
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?”

Every country is warming.

Every country is experiencing more extreme weather events because of climate change, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. www.ShowYourStripes.info

Time to #ShowYourStripes and start climate conversations to prompt actions to reduce emissions, personally & collectively.

Temperature changes in Sudan since 1901 #ShowYourStripes

Staple crops yields face ‘substantial losses’ in warming world – even with adaptation - Carbon Brief Average global yields of six staple crops could fall by more than 11% under a moderate warming scenario by the end of the century.

This is really important because it shows the limits of adaptation. We cannot adapt to everything - we cannot adapt our way out of climate change. Nice coverage of recent paper by Hultgren et al in @nature.com on impacts on agriculture considering adaptation.

The carbon footprint of the first 15 months of Israel's genocide will be greater than the annual emissions of 100 countries.

Dude who has never, ever been on the side of any protester in the History of the Earth: "I'll tell you what, some of the actions of these protestors are really making it hard for me to be on their side..."

Trump’s Big Bill Is Filled With Hundreds of Billions in Waste - OtherWords The president says he’s targeting “waste” by cutting health care for Americans. So why all the corporate giveaways?

NEW: Trump says that his big budget bill is targeting "waste" by cutting health care. So why is it pouring billions into giveaways for massive corporations?

Congress must oppose this. Brett Heinz of @afsc-org.bsky.social:

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

It’s going to take 30 or 40 years, and by then, it’s going to be too late for a lot of the creatures that I love. I want to do what I can with my last decade to chronicle the last days for many of these creatures.”
