Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝 Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive. Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.
Split-image with the text “TO BEE or NOT TO BEE.” The left side shows a vibrant wildflower meadow with a bee on a daisy, symbolising biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem. The right side shows a dry, barren landscape with dead trees and no visible wildlife, representing environmental degradation. An EU flag appears in the bottom right corner.

He’s pulled the knife half way out of the economy’s back, but the injury (no longer a reliable trading partner) will take years to heal. #stupid

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Tariffs are the new climate science denial. Cherry pick your 1% outlier 'expert' (e.g. Peter Navarro/Dick Lindzen), reject the 99% expert consensus, insulate yourself in a bubble of like-minded deniers, and convince yourself that any day now reality will change and prove you right.

One of the most important solutions to climate change is *stopping deforestation* -- yet we still largely ignore it. We need to work on this...fast. After all, deforestation emits more CO2 than the *entire US economy*. Some thoughts about moving forward: drawdown.org/insights/how...

How stopping deforestation is a powerful “emergency brake” climate solution
When people think of climate solutions, they often focus on smokestacks, tailpipes, and other artifacts of our fossil-fueled economy. That’s fitting since roughly two-thirds of the world’s greenhouse ...

If we are trying to preserve NIH research money, the government should get some of the profits from the research the taxpayers funded. I'm fine with people making profits from their innovations, but the story of this drug development shows that can be taken to extremes most people don't imagine

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods. Time and time again, oil companies have walked away — leaving taxpayers to pay for cleanup. Here’s how.

Oil executive Tom Ragsdale walked away from his old wells, making the pollution left behind the state of New Mexico’s problem. His tactics, however, are ubiquitous in the industry.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
