Sydney Environment Institute celebrates the International Court of Justice's historic ruling on states’ climate obligations. The ICJ's much-anticipated Advisory Opinion on climate change is the clearest legal affirmation to date that states have a legally binding obligation to address climate change

Climate change has increased the odds of extreme regional forest fire years globally

Nature Communications - The authors show that extreme fire years in global forests align with rare fire weather extremes. Climate change has made such extremes 88-152% more probable. These findings...

Thankfully, the village was evacuated already, but one person is missing and everyone else’s homes are destroyed.

Make no mistake: this is a climate disaster.

🚨NEW | Israel Approves Plan to ‘Capture’ and Occupy All of Gaza and Control Humanitarian Aid

Israel has approved a sweeping plan to seize all of Gaza, to occupy it indefinitely, and displace its people south—advancing what rights groups warn is a military-engineered campaign of ethnic cleansing. 🧵

Et vilkår for at noe skal være et folkemord er et forsett om å begå folkemord. Det kan være vanskelig å bevise. Vanligvis sier man jo ikke noe sånt rett ut. Men, og dette glatter folk som Hellestveit for ofte rett over i min mening: Israel sier det rett ut.

An Apothecary of poems. As so many of us reach for some salve for the fears, anxieties, sense of loss, and terrors of the moment - from social media, techno-solutions, substances.. does poetry offer a true alternative? A nonsolution solution that enables us to remain with ambiguity? poetryclinic.org

Ask us a question or describe the predicament that you're in; our poet-in-residence will select a couple of letters and prescribe a healing poem.

This could be a big deal for the hundreds of climate lawsuits underway around the world. @jsmankin.bsky.social and @ccallahan45.bsky.social link emissions from specific fossil fuel companies to trillions of dollars in damages.

“I think this is going to be the future of climate litigation." 🧪🔌💡

Can climate science attribute economic damage to major polluters?

Climate researchers argue their science has advanced enough to directly link emissions from particular companies to damages from specific extreme weather events

One of the greatest conceits of #CriminalJustice is that the #police (and other policing agencies) serve and protect the public. They don't, and never have.

They serve the State by policing the public.

What you're seeing in the US right now, is that policing stripped of its conceit.

If you're interested in Racialised #Zemiology, and want to see the harms of the US's neo-eugenicist movement that now dominates the Trump administration, then this is a good example.

As the #racist logics of US policy begins to bite we will see more of these downstream harms emerging

The EU placed a strategic bet on Serbian lithium to fuel its shift to electric vehicles.

But it's resulted in dirty politics and an environmental backlash so severe it is poisoning the Balkan nation’s relations with Brussels.

Is Serbia turning into an EU mining colony?

A Brussels-backed project to develop the lithium reserves needed to power electric vehicles is fueling political instability on the European Union’s doorstep.
