Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

When the US govt terminated the National Nature Asst, @phillevin.bsky.social + the author team were determined not to let that stop them.

They re-organized, set up an advisory committee, found funding…and now the brand new Nature Record is open for public comment. πŸ‘πŸŒ³πŸ‘πŸŒ²

As a climate scientist, with respect to what he said about climate change, I can verify that he has been a purveyor of misinformation.

Scientists are trying to solve the mystery of whether global warming is speeding up. A new study says it has the answer | CNN Is the world getting hotter, faster? It’s a big question which has been puzzling and dividing scientists for years. A new paper says it has the answer, and it’s not good news.

Imagine a world where, instead of financing fossil fuels and deforestation, banks invest in climate-positive solutions, such as sustainable agriculture, electric vehicle networks, and renewable energy initiatives.

Check out these five fossil-free banking services doing just that and switch today!

The Nature Record Now it’s our turn to shape what comes next. A new project. A mission years in the making.

While there’s plenty of bad news in the meticulous recounting of how humans are affecting every aspect of nature, I love how the report begins by highlighting Bright Spots in Nature!

Good news like this builds the efficacy that inspires us to act by showing us that solutions ARE possible.

In the 1850s, before it was denuded by archaeologists and the tourism industry, 420 species of flowers and plants grew on the Roman Colosseum β€” and every single one is catalogued in amateur botanist Richard Deakin's Flora of the Colosseum of Rome (1855): publicdomainreview.org/collection/r...

Good news: Scientists were wrong about how bad sea level rise is.

Bad news: It’s even worse than we thought.

Wow, it is so hard to find a protein bar that doesn’t have nuts in it! Companies just have this urge to add almonds to everything, I feel like. I’m going to order some of these now!

Heads up to those on Wiley's new REx system. I have just spotted a WHOLE bunch of people now listed as having expertise (keyword) in 'alternative medicine' and confirmed with a few they did not accidentally add this (I mean, these are restoration ecologists). Check your profiles ASAP.

I have a very specific reason my account there is still open, but I don't engage there much other than to run experiments, for reasons that are clear below.

For two years, I individually invited 100s of members of my climate science list there to join us here. I think that's a productive approach.

why don't we just cash in and use it to fund climate work. there's an idea. eating food offered to idols, so to speak?

Yup! That is the algorithm change. They realised that rage-baiting got a lot more eyes.

Redirecting...

Regular posts are still not so popular; but if I mention hot topics like clean energy, US policy, or denial, they take off like a rocket.

I've pre-set about 150 words that, if commenters use them, comments are hidden. That takes care of ~60% of the trolling but I still have to deal with the rest 😰

Two of the sexist comments I received this morning on Facebook. The "ladies" they are referring to are myself and Christiana Figueres, former UN climate chief and architect of the Paris Agreement.

FB recently altered their algorithm to promote conflict by boosting content into people's feeds they'd disagree with.

The unexpected side-effect? My old page, shadow-banned & dormant since 2018, took off.

Tons of trolls + sexists, yes. But also 1000x more eyes on my climate content than before 🀯

How Fossil Fuel Money Made Climate Change Denial the Word of God Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.

I firmly believe that if we take the Bible seriously, we’ll be at the front of the line demanding climate action – and many Christians are!

But the fact that so many in the US base their beliefs on politics explains why identifying as an evangelical is the top predictor of climate denial in the US.
