Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Deforestation surged under Bolsonaro but slowed under President Lula da Silva. Recently published numbers by the Brazilian Institute for Space Research show deforestation fell during the past year, to its lowest rate since satellite observations began (1988). data.inpe.br/biomasbr/est... 🌴🇧🇷💚

Lula’s win is a win for democracy, climate, and our health as a species. 🇧🇷🌴🌳💚

All of the prayers for Lula 🇧🇷, who has a slight lead with 75% of the vote 🗳️ counted 🙏 www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Amazing PhD student opportunity 👇🏻

NASA has stopped updating us on temperature anomalies and how they fit within the long-term trend -- can't imagine why -- but you can still access NASA's temperature data on their website: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/maps/ September 2026: 🥵

which is why i get frustrated when we feed its sweet kernels to cows and cars

As the Trump regime sues LA officials for not disqualifying 20,000 people DHS has labeled as non-citizens based upon their screening tool, it is good to remember that DHS used to same tool to identify over 15,000 non-citizen voters in Nevada. Complete checks revealed that ALL of them are citizens.

Food is a major driver of climate change and a major opportunity to slow it. 🌱 This #WorldFoodDay, see how cutting food waste, protecting ecosystems, and more can help us feed the planet without destroying it. Explore the science and solutions: drawdown.org/food-and-climate #FixingFood

So much of our food supply actually goes to fuel for cars or animal feed. More than half is not eaten or even intended for people's plates. It’s easy to miss or underestimate what a major cost this comes at. drawdown.org/insights/we-...

Just like Exxon knew about the impacts of climate change, the beef industry knew too. A new PLOS Climate study documents how the National Cattlemen’s Association (NCA), now NCBA, responded to evidence linking cattle methane to global warming from 1986–1996 (study 🔗 at end of 🧵)

"Galaxies warp and multiply as if in a house of mirrors" in this JWST image. Gravitational lensing occurs when a massive celestial body - such as a galaxy cluster - causes a curvature of spacetime for the path of light around it to be visibly bent, as if by a lens. esawebb.org/images/potm2...

Killing time at the back bar @930club.bsky.social is a tried and true way to meet your fav bands. I got to meet Sylvan Esso after their sold out show Monday night 🎶💃🏻

“Because methane has such a big impact on the climate in a short amount of time, the more we can reduce methane, it is like pulling the emergency brake on climate change,” @enviroem.bsky.social Read more from #APNews and Alexa St. John: https://bit.ly/470AUsY #compost

Composting leftover coffee grounds, eggshells and carrot tops is a way to reduce the amount of food waste that goes into landfills, where it produces the potent greenhouse gas methane.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

#climateweeknyc is an exciting opportunity to learn about new and innovative ways to solve climate change. But do the proposed solutions and strategies stack up? Use Carbon in Context to quickly see the real impact of the solutions and actions everybody's talking about! https://bit.ly/4xnQ8D4

Beef may be going the way of the internal-combustion engine. Drought, high fuel and feed prices are threatening U.S. beef--an industry that is vulnerable to climate change and a major emitter. Insightful article by @billmckibben.bsky.social @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

The inimitable @mikegrunwald.bsky.social has an exceptionally well written oped on the disastrous proposal from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol to give companies carbon credit for cutting down trees.

In America, we have no kings, no dictators, no despots, no nobles, no slaves, no serfs, no subjects. Just "We the People." We are not one race, one ethnicity, one religion or one party. But we have one Constitution and one Bill of Rights. Happy Constitution Day, everybody!

The idea that "regenerative" grazing is a climate solution has really taken hold in some quarters. But the science is clear: It doesn't work. Methane and land-use emissions just overwhelm any soil carbon benefits. Here's a great piece by @nicholasdcarter.bsky.social drawdown.org/insights/eig...

"Regenerative grazing" is a greenwashing scam, nothing more. Here's why. Please don't be taken in. drawdown.org/insights/eig...

Regarding today’s decision by the U.S. EPA.

The beef cattle industry points to DROUGHT as a major reason herds are low and beef prices are so high. But the administration's response is to enable ranchers to forgo any health inspections of meat so they can process it themselves. Seems a bit disconnected. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

As of April 2026, nearly 80% of the U.S. beef cattle herd was in areas suffering from drought (according to Rabobank). A much higher share than the past 40 years. Seems bad. media.rabobank.com/asset/0f14b2...

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

It’s time to let Sell-by dates Expire. So many potential puns here. TLDR: sell-by dates are confusing to consumers. Getting rid of them helps reduce food waste.

📝 New article on Our World in Data: Beef production in Brazil has been the largest driver of global deforestation in recent decades. The largest driver of deforestation globally is the expansion of agricultural land.

Let me get this straight. Trump waived tariffs on foreign beef 🥩, then a couple days later, 30,000 pounds of potentially harmful Argentine beef was recalled. Am I missing anything? 🤔 cbsaustin.com/news/local/u...

What are the emissions associated with destroying 125,000-acres of coastal wetlands and launching 30 Space-X Starship flights a day (~11,000/year)? Asking for a friend. @juddlegum.bsky.social oligarchwatch.substack.com/p/louisiana-...

Trump administration's cancellation of off-shore wind contracts results in a) higher GHG emissions b) huge windfall for Trump donor. Rinse and repeat.

Global protein consumption has increased by 1/3 since 1960 More than half of this new growth has come from animal sources, despite plant protein still making up 62% of all protein supply Reversing this trend & being clear on plant protein wins (fibre, planetary health, equal muscle gain) is key
