Not sure people realize how insane last year's wildfires were in Canada...

“When civil disobedience is punished more severely than racist rioting, something has gone badly wrong” - spot on from ⁦George Monbiot⁩👇 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Shell donated $544,000 to the right-wing, anti-climate groups behind Project 2025. Project 2025 will end the EPA, increase oil drilling, increase deadly pollution, and give huge tax breaks to companies like Shell. These donations were not a coincidence. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

The timeline starting on that graph is somewhat misleading. It wasn't going up to 70% in 1985, there was a trough in 84-5 because of the miners' strike. the effects of that strike is of course the key driver of the collapse of coal. theecologist.org/2024/feb/12/un…

533 Mt Etnas erupted in Canada last year!

Read this extraordinary thread by Aleksandar Matković to realize the forces that are being deployed IN EUROPE to silence debate about the supply chains for the green transition. This is insane stuff!

New paper shows that the scale of corporate profit repatriation out of the global South is... massive. "Between 2005 and 2020, transnational corporations repatriated an annual average of one trillion USD." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

15% of people who fly frequently take 70% of all UK flights. Half of the UK population don't fly at all in any given year. This is even more stark at London City Airport and this is the Labour Governments decision!? And they pretended to care about the climate crisis.

Let’s hope so!

Terrible decision. On the same day as a good announcement about cycling as well. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Definitely don't do it by expanding airports.

I am happy to announce that I will defend my thesis on the political economy of petrochemical transitions September 20, marking the end of my four years as a PhD student. The thesis is about the use of fossil fuel as raw materials and why and how that matters.

2/3rds of IPCC authors think they will see catastrophic impacts of climate change in their lifetime. That was b4 the 2023 spike in world temps. But the few times they report it, mass media want u to think it's a marginal view. = Ideological policing. today.yougov.com/politics/artic…

“The abrupt and rapid increase in methane growth rates in the early 2020s is likely attributable largely to the response of wetlands to warming with additional contributions from fossil fuel use…” frontiersin.org/journals/scien…

This is a very significant development in the criminalisation of protest. The Labour government is continuing the illiberal criminalisation of protest, which is very worrying for the state of democracy

A tribute to the excellent work done by Martin Coward Matthew Paterson Maja Zehfuss Richard Devetak, Nisha Shah, Andreja Zevnik, and Carolina Moulin. Great news!

Good quick sense of the scale still ahead to get to those renewable energy targets. theguardian.com/business/nils-…

This hit piece has already come under heavy criticism and for good reason. The methodology really is extremely flawed. The authors look only at studies with "post-growth" or "degrowth" in the title, but this ignores much of the key empirical work that has shaped and advanced
