I’ve spent more than a year reporting on how the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated academia over the last 30 years, shaping fundamental paradigms on how to address climate change. My first story in the new @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social series, “Carbon Captured”, is out today.

Three facts: - Methane has caused ~30% of the warming we have seen so far. - Curbing methane emissions is also one of the fastest ways to bend the curve on future warming. It’s a “emergency brake”. - And the food system emits over half of global methane emissions. drawdown.org/insights/we-...

We can’t ignore the largest source of methane
Food is the largest source of human-caused methane – we ignore it at our peril

Since AI slop is again all over Scientific Reports, a thread on the economics of grey-zone publishing. Why does slop keep getting published? What does it mean for science? How can we stop this? Background readings: Understand the strain: tinyurl.com/2b6wxx5r Stop the drain: tinyurl.com/3jfscscy
An obviously AI-generated figure with AI slop and fake text all over it, recently published in Scientific Reports.

Big question Has there ever been a more important court ruling than last week's advisory opinion on climate change from the International Court of Justice? Facing an existential threat, the ICJ ruled that all States are obligated to protect the climate system by decarbonizing ASAP or polluters pay $

Trump ended the first-ever National Nature Assessment, which was trying to reveal how nature loss influences climate change and impacts humanity, but the researchers are trying to publish it anyway.

The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”

Just days after the end of the International Court of Justice hearings on the climate crisis, Tropical Cyclone Chido smashed into Mayotte, a French territory off the east coast of Africa. A cyclone intensified by climate change! www.euronews.com/green/2024/1...
