Some good news from The Netherlands. Electricity production reaches lowest monthly CO2 emissions on record - ever.

Meanwhile, on X...

Remember when Emil Bove became a judge for life and a massive tsunami immediately swept the globe. That wasn't a sign was it?

People who never post here say it's not a viable place for info. You just wouldn't notice during a big news event like a tsunami when everyone is talking it and sharing key news.

Standard bluesky user: I hate LLM because they make a shitty sandwich. Me: that’s not what you use it for User: fuck you fascist

Bizarre to be (incorrectly) referenced in the federal report supporting the EPA's proposal to revoke the scientific finding that underpins the government’s legal authority to combat climate change www.energy.gov/sites/defaul... (More on that story here: www.carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/...)

Counterpoint: If you use Grok for emergency info you deserve to be swept away by a tsunami

The World Rally Championship is taking place in #Finland @elokapina.bsky.social are taking action ❤️✊🏽 “Today in #Jyväskylä! Come join the demonstration to spread the message that enough is enough with environmentally harmful World Rally Championship.”

Melting glaciers and melting ice sheets make earthquakes more likely. Climate change will likely lead to an increase in earthquakes and tsunamis.

Farmers in England are increasingly unclear about what the government's vision is for farming (see orange line falling and green line rising) www.gov.uk/government/s...

“Governments face shrinking fiscal space and must find funding for international climate finance," says PIK director #Edenhofer. Smaller coalitions of countries with targeted levies could help solve the problem without extra cost to consumers, he adds. New report! www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

The Wall Street Journal has published the most anti-science editorial I have ever seen, celebrating a victory against "climate imperialism" - ie. efforts to respond to an accelerating crisis that is endangering hundreds of millions of lives and is on course to end organised civilisation.

Read this, from the Wall Street Journal, a rag owned by corrupt oligarch Rupert Murdoch, and weep at how these power-drunk anti science lunatics are accelerating the final collapse of human civilisation.

I know it’s a very minor thing to hate about #Elsevier journals…but the fact that their copy-editors CAN’T EVEN CATCH GRAMMAR MISTAKES IN PAPER TITLES continues to amaze me…

This is a form of Lysenkoism—ideology posing as science—with great harm to millions of people.

Ethnic minorities and people living in the most deprived areas of England are at increased risk of dying due to heatwaves - new research #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Interesting reading here, especially around one of my favourite topics; publishing pressures and metrics. The term “Top-Tier” journals still makes me gag, especially given the horror stories I’m still hearing from Chinese and Chinese-based co-authors about publishing venues…

Oilprice is running the headline "Europe Wants More US Gas Than Exists", which is pure industry propaganda. Europe neither wants nor can use that much US LNG, but nevertheless the "deal" is being painted as a win both for the fossil fuel industry and for the Trump administration.

To be clear, this is the fossil fuel industry rewriting climate science in the name of profit.

The list of names on the review of climate science presented to the US energy secretary reads like a who's who of paid lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry. Because it is.

Humanity relies on nature for survival but also threatens it, putting over one million species at risk of extinction. The #GlobalGoals are key in addressing this & restoring ecosystems: www.un.org/sustainabled...

All of the lights along the horizon to the left are evacuated boats off Honolulu (via the Surfline cam at Waikiki). Thinking of everybody in Hawaii and other places at risk tonight.

I've been asked by reporters to comment on this. I wish I could but I don't want to. What I will say is that I'm relieved to find out that ocean acidification from fossil fuel CO₂ emissions isn't a problem because the ocean was more acidic when life first evolved billions of years ago. 🙄

Current annual cost of climate change is $0.3 trillion per year. That’s almost all of Elon Musk’s wealth in costs just per year to rebuild the buildings lost to fire and floods.

I was supposed to meet an NPR reporter at the UN Ocean Conference in France in June for an urgent story but she inexplicably ghosted me. It turns out her @signal.org message arranging the meeting was delivered via pigeon and just arrived. Actually, that's unfair. A pigeon would have been faster. 🫠

so like, it actually doesn’t matter if the Sydney Sweeney ad meant to be eugenics or not now. the outrage created the reaction which is creating the commercial activity. and in the “backlash” many are playing participant in yet another psyop

just wrapped day 1 of ekko video shoot. never been prouder of the next era of this band

Just a few months ago, I did an entire piece about how the Trump administration is completely gutting our tsunami warning infrastructure and endangering lives… heatmap.news/adaptation/t...

This is some kind of weird surgery or something, no?

This is beyond personal interest, really. He's just pro-pedophile as a principle.

Israel is being mythologised as exceptional rather than inevitable. www.planetcritical.com/p/one-day-ev...

i like blaming women. do you like blaming women? let’s all BLAME WOMEN TOGETHER 🥹🙏

something something climate something scenes on phone screens etc etc

They always do this: they suppress the actual science of a phrase & spread its colloquial meaning, if that creates misunderstanding. They did it with "uncertainty," and they're doing it now with "we have avoided the worst-case scenario" & "the worst-case scenario is misleading." 🧵

"Moisture lost to evaporation and drought, plus runoff from pumped groundwater, now outpaces the melting of glaciers and the ice sheets of either Antarctica or Greenland as the largest contributor of water to the oceans." www.propublica.org/article/wate...

Oak and woodbine leaves, but which is which? The very opposite of what you might think at first glance! Nature is flexible, fluid, and delightfully variable, in total contrast to the often crushing mass conformity of the modern human world.

The wrong day for this suggestion

does anyone else peel the sheets off the bed while you sleep? i thought it was a problem with our bed but now my side has been like this in four beds.

It’s been a day. Tears. Fits of sadness. Hugs. Comfort food. Tissue boxes. Exhausting. Also, f—k cancer.

Ok i am about to buy a bike from upway. Anyone got a referral code I can use to get the discount? @gspeng.bsky.social @katie.bzky.team ?

Hot take: If the stadium at UC Berkeley, elevation 410ft, gets hit with a tsunami before the Hayward splits it in half I'll eat my hat

Hey! Me and @costasamaras.com will be on @kqedforum.bsky.social tomorrow morning to talk about electricity bills. Check it out at 9am: www.kqed.org/forum/201010...

Honolulu is suing fossil fuel companies for climate change damages, and the companies are trying to get the suit dismissed by claiming that the statute of limitations has expired because we’ve known about climate change for decades. Lol.

Sooner or later, if you’re in the Wara family, Tuolumne slab climbing will happen. The kiddos on Pywiack Dome this afternoon. I bought them soft serve in the Meadows as an incentive.

For live updates on the massive earthquake (mag 8.8) near Russia and the tsunami sweeping the Pacific Ocean, follow this @washingtonpost link: www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

I've been getting a lot of requests for comments on the DOE report "A critical review of the impact of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions on the U.S. climate". Here are some initial thoughts. More will come later.

Huh. Turns out it's really easy to dismiss decades of careful scientific work on climate by thousands of researchers globally. You just need "an exercise in discretionary judgment!"

I wanted this to be twice as long.

Please find attached my edits,

Sooo apparently WA US coast is under a tsunami watch, as I learned from socials because we don’t get warnings anymore. LOL SOB

CEO of crypto whatever is an automatic block

i finally realized my worst minnesota food habit: a dinner salad with both french dressing and blue cheese

Holy cow - the #Kamchatka #earthquake has been upgraded to a magnitide 8.8, which makes it tied for the 6th (or so) most powerful ever recorded. BIG!! 🧪⚒️ earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Kier Starmer threatening/promising to recognize Palestinian statehood unless Israel stops the genocide (temporarily) is some cynical bullshit

how have i not seen this before?

Climate “red team” at work..

Beyond the obvious science denial, here's a subtle attack on the processes of scientific integrity in the endangerment repeal notice of proposed rulemaking.

Hopefully this helps

This is like saying Anne Frank died of Typhus so were the Nazis really responsible. Utterly vile. #BoycottNYT.

Kiddo requested soft pretzels. Not too shabby.

Third story for the day ... first waves reportedly hitting Japan.

Acerbic left wing rap from The Coup from more than a decade ago. The track slaps. open.spotify.com/track/0sAfPM...

I hate how vile and evil some of these people.

the scale of a tsunami is absurd. the pacific is so big.

Just wait until you all hear about the lack of funding for tsunami preparedness and mitigation in the U.S. Until then: www.tsunami.gov

Happy heat dome, sham climate report, tsunami day!

As a 🌎 we have a HUGE land problem: how to supply 50% more food & wood to a growing population by 2050 while ending deforestation & stabilizing the climate. As noted below, dedicating land to biofuels worsens the problem. Better to use solar, which produces 100x the energy per hectare vs biofuels.

Took the K to the E and walked along Pico to Mood Fabrics, whose only entrance is from the parking lot around the back. It's just assumed that you will drive, despite the 30 bus coming by every 5-10 minutes (which connects to A/E/J lines)

Glad most of the old earthquake Twitter made its way over here ⚒️

does michael moore ever show happy to the function

Local public radio now (3:10 pm local time in Hawaii) reports NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has Hawaii under a #tsunamiwarning. First waves projected to arrive 7:17 pm local. www.hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/2...

Already prone to droughts, Iran has exacerbated the problem with poor water management policies, which Mr. Pezeshkian acknowledged on Monday. Climate change, too, has played a role; the country has weathered five consecutive years of drought.

Why care about accuracy when you can hire a 20-something programmer to generate bogus results that fit your priors that government funding is unnecessary?

Climate deniers have nothing to stand on other than a trillion-dollar industry

Boycott, divest, sanction in Israel - anything else is complicit in this genocide

"This, to me, is the problem with Democrats in America right now. We’re willing to be complicit with Donald Trump to let this pass through, when we have all the leverage right now there is.” @booker.senate.gov is starting to get it.

our current hotel room has electric blackout curtains and some how NO OTHER LIGHT. when the curtain is closed it is completely 100% “are my eyes open?” dark

Heroine of the Resistance

Boy they really are into fossil fascism.

Tsunami alert here in Santa Barbara. My home is at 200+ meters, safe, but we'll see what happens along the coast. The Climate 8-ball apologizes for not predicting this in advance. www.ksby.com/news/local-n...

excuse me madam but your crabs are getting in my bucket. which also has crabs in it

You can’t overstate just how impressive this heat dome is. It covers 2/3 of contig. US, 80% of US population 90+ high temp (~260 mill people) Peak intensity of heat dome record for SE US in late July. Peaked at 3.7 sigma which means this heat dome is extremely rare in our former climate of the 1900s

Tbh one of my first thoughts was all the nuclear tsunami talk from them of recent years

eek! tsunami warnings all over my skyline! my agéd Washingtonian relations! I consider: but my aunt in Seattle is visiting New Mexico (for the opera, but also for us) currently - she cannot be tsunami'd without considerable effort and the wave getting through, uh, Arizona.

The fascists changing laws to support fascists part of fascism

Unbearable heat!! What gives?? Here’s the science behind the huge heat dome and how Tampa got to 100 for the first time in 135 years of trying. #heatdome #heatwave #climatechange

Also, for all those who have enabled this to happen - politicians, journalists, tech companies, experts - we’ve kept the receipts and there will be justice for this live streamed genocide. No matter how long it takes.

As a reporter currently toiling over a banger of a may-not-be-published-for-years obit, I can tell you with certainty that this is some bullshit

Homeland security porn.

A Green Beret officer with 25 years of service explains in plain language what the Israeli military, with support from the US, is doing to Palestinian civilians - including many children - in Gaza. If you've felt that media coverage here is vague or confusing, you may find this interview clarifying.
