honestly … Trump killing off carbon-capture boondoggles that Big Oil was just gonna leverage for tax writeoffs and expanded drilling is probably the least objectionable thing he's done this term

It's this constellation of promises and developments that we term 'Climate Politics When It's Too Late'.

This a big book on a sobering, at times heavy topic, but I hope we've managed to make it a somewhat enjoyable read.

Happy to talk about it in interviews, podcasts etc, feel free to reach out!

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Thiel har också sagt att han inte tror att frihet och demokrati går att kombinera, och att kvinnors inte borde ha rösträtt eftersom de röstar för sådant som trygghetssystem och sjukförsäkring - som Thiel tycker är en del av antikrists projekt & hindrar friheten för skapande människor som han själv.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Mest lästa nyheten i The Guardian är om den Israeliska behandlingen av Greta Thunberg. I svenska medier så här långt mestadels tyst. Hur är det ens möjligt?

Swedish citizens have been detained on international waters by Israel, put in jail and treated with torturous methods - and the Swedish government hasn’t acted, hasn’t expressed anything, doesn’t seem to care. It’s appalling.
They are tearing this country apart.
