Net zero is cheaper than fossil fuel dependence.

That was my #1 takeaway from @iea.org's latest World Energy Outlook.

Don't let anyone tell you drill baby drill is about affordability.

I will never stop being horrified by our (at best) ambivalence to the suffering and death of desperate and destitute people
Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.

At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.

Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

It's so wild to have the language of science used to gaslight us in the most dangerous of ways.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

loool I said COP21 not COP30.

to be fair, it has been hard to build meaningful momentum since the Paris Climate Agreement...
As our leaders struggle to build any meaningful momentum at COP21, a reminder:

The Climate Crisis *IS* a Health Crisis

65% of people *understand* that global warming is affecting the weather
Climate change affects ocean temperatures, which in turn influence the composition and strength of tropical storms and hurricanes. Hurricane Melissa’s prolonged impacts were intensified by the Caribbean’s warming ocean waters. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/c...

I know the world finds it very easy to dismiss any and everything Palestinians say (and document).

But how do you explain away the countless accounts of Israeli soldiers themselves?

Powerful reminder to make clear where I'm getting my info from - not just for my audience's sake, but for the sake of the orgs doing the investigations.

(n.b. I always link in the description, but who looks at that??)
Lots of important stuff but this specific bit is INCREDIBLY important and something I hope those all us who do some form of public communications and rely on the intensely difficult work of reporting hear

Indeed this is an excellent nuanced and optimistic response to Bill Gates by @hausfath.bsky.social !
(Though admittedly less entertaining than @climateadam.bsky.social.)
It’s a good example of how to debate constructively about solving the #climatecrisis.

Really strong summary of how (and whether) to talk to people who deny climate science.

Great work from the Sphera Network!

I can't begin to imagine the anguish of believing it's over. Safe. That you can maybe start to live again.

And then having a loved one taken from you.

22 of the 60 killed were children.

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

There's this pattern of asking perfectly legit questions

(why do so many need foodstamps??)

But then having complete disinterest in the answer

(because wages and social security aren't enough for many people to *feed themselves*)
I know you’re a bodybuilder, but use your noggin this time. Nearly half of those who receive food stamps work. Of the rest, most are over 65 or disabled. Wages are too low for tens of millions, and Social Security isn’t enough for many elderly.

I am deeply concerned about the impact that Melissa will have.

And - yes - climate change is raising the risk of hurricanes like these. In myriad ways.
