Increasingly seeing "it's too late, we failed" as an argument against climate action. But: a) While we haven't done nearly enough, we've made a lot of progress relative to the "just let fossil fuels rip" world of pre-2000; b) the more&faster we reduce climate pollution, the less bad things will get;
Today I learned that the NHS has "cycle responders" who are paramedics. One of my wife's coworkers was recently treated by one after collapsing in London. The bike, not surprisingly, responded much faster than the ambulance. Really cool! www.londonambulance.nhs.uk/calling-us/w...
As the UN Secretary General says, every new fossil fuel project approved today makes tomorrow’s heatwaves more dangerous & our world less secure. I hope Andy Burnham is listening. Caving in to the fossil fuel lobby as the planet burns would be unforgivable
Burnham risks first revolt as PM over apparent support for North Sea drillingLabour MPs fear No 10 team lack up-to-date energy insight and don’t fully recognise voters’ climate concernswww.theguardian.com
I really need everyone to remember that the fossil fuel industry knew-knows exactly the climate hell we now inhabit, and are determined to make it FAR worse. That's because they have decided our lives are worth far less than their profits. We are not angry -or organised- enough.
Our burning of fossil fuels is making the world burn.
Human-caused climate change made Spanish, French fires much more likely, scientists calculateTwo new studies reveal climate change's fingerprints over extreme fire weather-triggering infernos in Spain and France.apnews.com
Antora Energy just raised $550 million to further its toaster-like thermal battery technology. Here’s how it could help decarbonize heavy industry.
Antora snags $550M for heat batteries to run data centers and…As the California firm boots up a giant thermal battery system in South Dakota, fresh funds will help it build a second U.S. factory and more large-scale…www.canarymedia.comIf a climate scientist like @clairbarnes.bsky.social from @wwattribution.bsky.social says it's extremely scary how climate change is intensifying hot, dry, flammable conditions conducive to wildfires, you should probably be worried.
‘Extremely scary findings’ show climate crisis is supercharging Europe’s wildfire weatherLatest study says global heating has made hot, dry and windy conditions in Spain at least 20 times more likelywww.theguardian.com
Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.
It’s weird how London has lots of tall buildings and yet their fire trucks are moderately sized. It’s as if truck size in America is just an ideological imperative.
Remember when climate scientists said we should massively and rapidly reduce fossil fuel & meat emissions, or else? Or else 👇
No matter what errand you’re running in town, chances are you could do it by bike with the right kit! #bikesky #CarFree #CarryShitOlympics
Another way to say "It could result in 100 lost parking spaces" is "It could result in safer streets for all street users, including drivers."
San Francisco ChronicleHere’s the latest salvo in a battle that’s spanned two mayoral administrations and endured endless rhetoric about the war on cars. It could result in 100 lost parking spaces in Berkeley.
AC Transit should keep the focus on what matters to bus riders, not on recommendations from out of state consultants who fail to understand California law, elected boards, or governance. This embarrassing report never should’ve seen the light of day. Thank you for showing up to call out the BS!
The OaklandsideAfter years of contentious relations between board members, a consulting group recommended changes to the transit agency’s meetings. The response was overwhelmingly negative.
Yesterday afternoon 14:09 in Lacanau Océan in France. A pale red sun through the smoke tinged everything in Mars style orange. Welcome in the climate emergency! Despite all denial of the fossil fuel lobby, it’s scientific fact: CO2 emissions heat up Earth & make fires worse. 🔥🔥🔥
When wildfires, floods or heatwaves strike, the question isn’t “Did climate change cause this?” It’s “How much worse did climate change make it?” theconversation.com/how-do-scien...
The active collusion to inflate the speculative housing market by creating artificial scarcity is called zoning and it is happening right out in the open at your city’s planning commission.
Nicky (They/Them)There is also active collusion from said corporate conglomerate interests and private equity to artificially inflate the speculative market by creating artificial scarcity and colluding to slow competition and consumer protections.
I've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.
I think a lot about the idea of "functional climate change denial": if people say they're concerned about the environment, but won't actually stop flying, driving Land Rovers or eating beef, are they functionally any different from people who outright deny climate change?
Dr Charlie GardnerThe fact that almost one in three people believe the UK should not try to keep our only home in a liveable condition shows the extraordinary power of propaganda and narrative control by special interests
