Important paper that offers an evaluation and critique regarding the current state of energy geographies before outlining a few pathways that the authors think can help "move the needle" and advance the subdiscipline. How do you think we can move the subdiscipline forward? doi.org/10.1177/2043...

@sheffielduni.bsky.social #Geography and #planning I teach on a module called Environmental Justice at a time of crisis. Today we designed student cafe spaces with #lego. There were circular economies, sharing spaces, accessibility and transport links, and an energy producing dance floor with a DJ.

This was such a fun activity. Great to hear laughter and talk as the students designed their spaces. It can be heavy and grim talking about justice and crisis. @ankitkumar.bsky.social also teaches on this module.

This is a huge showdown! I am all for flying less but highly entrenched institutional practices of time, energy & money need to change. Ideally, this scientist doesn't even need to travel. Also, let's not forget, common but differential responsibilities

Yes, agree with this. As a social scientist working on climate change and society, it can be frustrating to see so little understanding of the role social science can play here. Not all scientists are the same and no one scientist is an expert on everything.

this is indeed a key problem with climate change work. The privilege given to 'science' for all questions related to society. I imagine journalists look for 'objective' & 'credible' voices, & social scientists do not fit the bill?

If you're wondering why carbon market world persists, despite decades of scandals + a recent drumbeat of revelations of fraud and inefficacy, it's because there are a very large number of middlemen who make a pretty massive amount of cash from the whole thing: carbonmarketwatch.org/publications...

I had seen my first computer 5 yr ago & would learn about a thing called #climatechange 2.5 yr later. How times have changed!
