Don’t ask an elected official if they “believe” in climate change, it’s not a religion. Don’t ask if they think it’s serious: it is. Ask them what matters most: what are they doing about it? Excellent application here, 10/10 no notes 👏⬇️👏

Irony of ironies! 😉 “The Trump agenda has inadvertently dealt a sizable blow against global warming. His war on Iran, now in its 7th month, has led to a plunge in the consumption of oil and gas around the world as fighting disrupts production and transportation.” wapo.st/4hpE12o

wapo.st

Trump dismantled U.S. climate policy. But his war is cutting emissions.

While the president remains a climate-change denier, the war with Iran has triggered an unforeseen benefit in the fight against global warming.

Elite athletes, musicians, actors & more often use cultural importance as an excuse for why they're exempt from cutting their emissions. In this new analysis led by @manuelsuter.bsky.social, we argue the opposite: visibility and influence should raise the bar, not lower it! Read more:

In socially influential fields such as elite sport, music, and film, cultural relevance is often invoked as a special moral status that exempts them from genuine emissions reduction. We argue that vis...

Scientists heard a knock at the door. It was a pelican in need of help.

The Trump regime removed limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. If the move survives legal challenges, it could hinder future administrations from regulating these emissions.
