När kommer gratisluncherna? 10 000 för ett inlägg om ekokapitalismens hetaste uppfinningar, 20 000 för ett videomeddelande.

Regeringen öppnar för ökad fossilexport – efter lobbykampanj från energibolag

DN Regeringen öppnar för ökad fossilexport – efter lobbykampanj från energibolag

Regeringen har just ändrat regelverket för statligt stöd till fossilexport. Så nu ska våra skattepengar gå till att få länder att satsa på fossilgas. Ändringen kom efter en lobbykampanj från Siemens, som DN har kartlagt i detalj

Rött larm i Frankrike samtidigt som EU varnar för 3 grader Frankrike kämpar mot extremväder, EU:s klimatråd varnar för ökade risker vid tre graders uppvärmning.

Ny rapport: Europa värms upp dubbelt så snabbt som det globala genomsnittet o att vi måste förbereda oss på en värld med 3 graders uppvärmning inom detta sekel.
Det är utanför ”livets korridor” - temperaturen som säkrar mänsklig civilisation.

Fresh fears for South West's rail link in Dawlish after storms Taxpayer money has flowed into fixing the rail line connecting Cornwall with the rest of the UK - but the elements have other ideas.

The Dawlish - Teignmouth railway line feels like the absolute front line of climate adaptation in Britain (a test we are not passing so far).

And yet somehow, somehow, this article manages to go in-depth on the problems with the line without mentioning the climate once. The sea is literally higher!

BBC warns Russia is taking over World Service radio frequencies Russian propaganda is filling the void where the BBC has closed World Service radio services due to cuts

BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄

Britain needs to think beyond net zero, says UN climate scientist Machines that suck carbon dioxide from the atmosphere could help reduce global warming, but Jim Skea believes breaching the 1.5C limit is ‘inevitable’

"We don’t entirely understand how the Earth’s system would react to removing carbon dioxide. Is there some kind of hysteresis loop. This hysteresis, or lag effect, could mean that even if temperatures are lowered, the planet may not return to its previous state." www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

I've been rather quiet as a combo of a very intensive book tour and university events absolutely floored me. Just wanted to say thankyou all for your support with Drifting North this year and especially to those of you who came to the tour events. Need to recover a bit, but see you all in 2026.

a world map with locations of extreme weather event studies by WWA in pink & yellow dots

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...

Where are global CO2 emissions heading?

Middle-of-the-road? But just because we have followed the SSP2-45, SSP4-60 path for 10 years, does not mean we follow it for the next 70 years.

Policy & technology have pushed the world away from the high-end, but 2.7C in 2100 & rising is not a good outcome!

The word of the year is “Parasocial”. Perhaps not unrelated to last year’s “Brainrot”? 🧐

Look out for the *How to Stay Smart* issue of @newhumanist.bsky.social, OUT TOMORROW
