Power to the people

It’s a ‘no.’ Easton planners deny million-square-foot Wood Avenue warehouse. Over a year of discussion and testimony on the warehouse concluded on Wednesday night.

Power to the people! Big thank you to all the great people of Easton who blocked this environmentally unsound warehouse project! www.lehighvalleylive.com/easton/2025/...

AI will not only "intensify" climate change, it will accelerate it and intensify it by A LOT!

"I think this president thinks we have the world's largest economy ever because of real estate investors. It's not—it's because of science."

Sen. Mark Kelly criticizes Trump's cuts to critical scientific research.

91% of New Renewable Projects Now Cheaper Than Fossil Fuels Alternatives Renewables maintain their cost leadership in global power markets, IRENA’s new report on Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2024 confirms.

In 2024, solar set ups were, on average, 41% cheaper than the lowest-cost fossil fuel alternatives, and wind projects were 53% cheaper. www.irena.org/News/pressre...

A Plan to Power 100 Percent of the Planet with Renewables Wind, water and solar technologies can provide 100 percent of the world's energy, eliminating all fossil fuels. Here's how

Only 17 to 20 percent of the energy in gasoline is used to move a vehicle (the rest is wasted as heat), whereas 75 to 86 percent of the electricity delivered to an electric vehicle goes into motion. Just one reason renewable energy is more efficient. www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-pa...

The False Promise of Carbon Capture as a Climate Solution Fossil-fuel companies use captured carbon dioxide to extract more fossil fuels, leading to a net increase in atmospheric CO2

Thank you for spreading the word that so-called "carbon capture" is NOT an effective or realistic way to offset the damages of burning fossil fuels. Rather, it is a scam to allow more drilling, pipeline build out, and use of fossil fuels www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

When Collapse Wasn’t Inevitable: How Some Societies Turned Crisis Into Renewal Throughout history, crisis have often led to collapse—but not always. Researchers highlight four such cases and identify three key factors that can turn the tide.

Three key factors in societies that overcame crises: a willingness of the elites to make sacrifices, comprehensive institutional reforms, and the state’s ability to sustain these reforms

How Fossil Fuel Money Made Climate Change Denial the Word of God Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

"Conservative groups, funded by fossil fuel magnates, spend $1B/yr interfering with public understanding of what is happening to our world. Few investments rival the return they've gotten from evangelicals."

An oldie but goodie makes the link between fossil fuels, climate denial, and U.S. religion.

The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer

Here's a more technical yet still quite accessible overview of the climate.
Of particular note that even though we set a record for solar/wind last year, we also set the record for burning fossil fuels. Which we need to stop immediately, yet keep doing anyway. Which is Very Bad.

A list of the most effective ways an individual can catalyze change at the scale we need to effectively tackle climate change, based on social science.

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.

Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!

We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

@clancyparliament.bsky.social I quoted heather cox richardson a few times, and also balls and strikes. My interpretation of this score: squeeky clean.

did you know there is an accountant for profanity? @profanity.accountant

Congrats again! Wow fantastic achievement! So thrilled for you!

Carbon capture and storage was always a huge concern and a dangerous risk.

Our worst fears are realised. Chevron Toxico lives up to its earned name and reinforces its reputation as a major polluter and climate criminal.

Carbon Capture is to the problem of Climate Change as Bulletproof Backpacks is to the problem of school shootings in the USA.
