Letters | Hong Kong cannot afford to ignore the threat of microplastic pollution Readers discuss a recent study on microplastics and nanoplastics in the air, and the death of Arctic foxes at Ocean Park.

"Recent scientific findings indicate that Hong Kong’s residents may be inhaling large quantities of microscopic plastic particles daily... raising crucial public health questions."

Everyone go see 'Hoppers' ASAP In Pixar's new film, humans and animals fight to block a freeway overpass that would destroy a wetland habitat. It's a brilliant climate parable.

"It’s very easy to let perfect be the enemy of progress. If everyone could start acknowledging how important nature is, that would make a big difference," @emilyfairfax.bsky.social told @sammyroth.bsky.social: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/pixar-hopp... #ClimateSky

@foe.org.au are still members of Climate Action Network Australia, who can't say no to conflict. Strangely, CAN International can @canclimateaction.bsky.social.

Scientists sound alarm over federal plan to dismantle vital weather and climate lab Hopkins experts warn that dismantling the nation's premiere weather-forecasting resource, NCAR, would leave us more vulnerable to the effects of extreme weather events

"Dismantling NCAR would essentially be taking a wrecking ball to America's weather-monitoring.. This is a terrible move to make at any time, particularly now that we've just had the third hottest year on record and need to better grasp what's coming our way."

Colombia’s President Says We Are Heading Toward 'Extinction' In an exclusive interview with POLITICO, the outgoing Colombian president argues the war on drugs has failed and fires back at Donald Trump.

A ruling politician realizes that governing is not about irresponsibly giving people a sense of false reassurance:

“The climate crisis scientifically heralds the end of existence — if we do not change the way we produce and consume throughout the world.”

Centuries of net-negative emissions are required to secure a safe climate future, two studies suggest Two new studies conclude that stabilizing long-term climate risks will require sustained net-negative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions for centuries.

"Net zero is only the beginning... To halt sea-level rise and cumulative CO₂ releases from thawing permafrost, global emissions would need to become net-negative and remain so for centuries."

Hey #energysky what are the best pods you're listening to? Always good to refresh the lists... #climatesky

After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine disrupted gas supplies and drove significant price increases, Dutch households and businesses rapidly moved away from natural gas. The Dutch government moved quickly to stabilise supply. As Russian pipeline flows declined, the Netherlands rapidly expanded LNG import capacity to stabilise supply, including through floating regasification units at Eemshaven and increased throughput at Rotterdam. LNG imports allowed storage to be refilled ahead of winter, which brought down wholesale prices from their August 2022 peak, even though price volatility remained. Gas-fired generation came under pressure. High fuel prices squeezed margins, while rapid renewables growth reduced running hours. Several operators warned that gas plants, critical for backup during low wind and solar output, were becoming uneconomic without stronger market signals. The result was a tension between decarbonisation and reliability. Even as gas demand fell, the power system remained dependent on flexible gas capacity to manage supply shocks and grid stability. For Stedin, the regional network operator serving Rotterdam and surrounding areas, gas volumes fell by more than 25% from 2021, and gas disconnections and electrification surged. Requests for higher-capacity electricity connections rose sharply as households installed heat pumps, solar panels, and electric appliances. Electricity demand growth outpaced network capacity, creating grid congestion and connection delays. Despite investing over €1 billion in 2024 to expand cables and substations, bottlenecks remain. Stedin plan to spend a further €8 billion by 2030 on electricity network expansion and upgrades. While New Zealand’s circumstances differ, the lesson is clear: rapid supply decline creates costly and disruptive network pressures with real costs for the sector and consumers.

Question for #Netherlands #Climatesky. The New Zealand gas industry just used you as a cautionary tale in their lobbying for New Zealand to urgently start LNG imports (vs a managed phase-down of declining domestic gas, which would kill their industry). Interested in any reactions!

‘I’m not a scientist’: Why judges need the climate chapter in the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence Removing the climate science chapter advances neither science nor the law. It only deprives judges of a resource needed to do their jobs.

A Big Night Light in the Sky? Start-Up Wants to Launch a Space Mirror.

This ridiculous start-up called Reflect Orbital is peak technosalvationism: a big splashy idea that doesn't solve any real problem (night? They are going to solve the problem of night!? 🤯) but creates massive new problems, just so it's founders can try to get rich and powerful. 1/2 🎁🔗 #ClimateSky 🔌💡

Oil production has always been this vulnerable to sharp supply shocks. What's changed is we now, at long last, have a viable alternative that can replace it and is immune to these wild swings and roundabouts.

War on Iran, fertiliser, and the soaring price of your supermarket bill - Greenpeace Aotearoa The war on Iran hasn’t just caused a shipping delay. It has exposed how our global food systems are vulnerable - dependent on synthetic fertilisers.

Our global food system is dangerously addicted to chemical fertilisers, which are essentially repackaged fossil fuels. Here’s why food bills could be about to soar: www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...
