🌍🙌 Residents of Bonaire won a historic court case. The Hague District Court ruled that the Netherlands is violating their human rights by failing to protect them from the climate crisis. This decision shows that climate protection is a human rights issue. #ClimateVictory

It is now no longer possible to ignore the fact that, not only are emissions not coming down, but we are accelerating away from actions to bring them down

While the world burns, climate breakdown is increasingly being ignored by governments and corporations

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Looking back to @wwattribution.bsky.social studies in 2025 showed again, in stark terms, how unfairly the consequences of human-induced climate change are distributed. The world does not have to be like this, we have a lot of agency to make it better. www.worldweatherattribution.org/unequal-evid...

In Großbritannien 🇬🇧 sieht man die Folge davon, wenn man sich beim Thema #Migration von #Rechtsaußen-Playern treiben lässt: Die Anzahl der gut ausgebildeten Fachkräfte sinkt krass ab, zudem kommen kaum mehr dringend benötigte Leute für den Bereich Gesundheit & Pflege.

Ach ja: Brexit heißt #Brexit.

This is the price of allowing far-right ideas to set the terms of debate. One of the great “achievements” of recent Conservative and Labour governments has been slamming the door on (skilled) migration.

Singing "Dies Irae" from Verdi's requiem, with Scientifiques en Rebellion @scientifiquesenrebellion.fr and the fantastic Orchestre de Nouveau Monde orchestredunouveaumonde.fr was a perfect way to take notion of government and private sector inaction during the 10 years since the Paris Agreement.

Indigenous activists from Brazil stormed #COP30 demanding freedom for their territories from oil, mining, and logging interests.

“For us, the defeat of our land is felt on our own skin”

After decades of exploitation, Indigenous communities are saying: ENOUGH

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

If we do not seriously move away from burning fossil fuels, hurricanes like Melissa will only become worse. Already today Melissa tested the limits of what preparedness and adaptation can do. These limits are very real for everyone in the Caribbean. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

"Wenn man so direkt mit dem Meer konfrontiert ist, dann bekommt man all das mit, von dem wir sonst immer nur lesen oder hören: Plastik, Vermüllung, Überfischung, Klimawandel. Ich erlebe das ganz direkt. Und diese Erlebnisse haben mich verändert, haben eine Transformation angestoßen."

One of the strongest, clearest increases in likelihood & intensity, attributable to climate change, I've seen in a complex index like fire weather - the more intense & frequent events in Greece & Türkiye are already outpacing efforts to adapt.
