  The Liberal Party of Australia has made an ad about its Nuclear Plan, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBqV...

  New report: "The cost of clean power technologies such as wind, solar & battery technologies are expected to fall further by 2-11% in 2025, breaking last year’s record. ... new wind and solar farms are already undercutting new coal and gas plants on production cost in almost every market globally."

  I think as a climate scientist I should stay in my lane because I don't understand politics at all. Trump tried to have everyone in Congress murdered and then pardoned all the potential murderers. But Congress is still doing his bidding. What?! It's much easier to understand CO₂ and global warming.

  "Just since Donald Trump’s election, Musk’s personal net worth has grown by far more than the entire annual budget of U.S.A.I.D., which in any case accounts for less than 1 percent of the federal budget."
  

  Amy Westervelt @amywestervelt.bsky.social

  Welp this is as unhinged as expected. In fracking CEO Chris Wright's first order as energy secretary he directs the department to "unleash" (god they love this word) everything from LNG to inefficient appliances to "commercial nuclear." And mandates bulking up our nuclear arsenal too, cool cool

  If the Aust Govt does not denounce this immediately, we are complicit in approving ethnic cleansing of a historic level

  decisions like this are constantly being announced and reversed, resulting in international decision fatigue, energy vampirism, and a lot of businesses unnecessarily scrambling on a daily basis: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

  The Army Corps has confirmed to me that it has frozen renewables permitting. Their statement raises far more questions than answers about the permitting sitch in the federal government right now. Story TK.
  

  Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis @kendrawrites.com

  Yes and to support US agriculture at home. This is the point that they really fail to grasp about USAID the AID is almost secondary. It is designed to support US interests. There are going to be a lot of pissed off farmers.
  

  Prof. Farhana Sultana @farhanasultana.com

  Instead of focusing on what they can do to fight for their democracy, the liberals are still screaming about the elections. Channeling that energy to challenge authoritarianism would be more productive use of oxygen.

  At least we don't have to read about this on a federal government website: At 2°C of warming, the area on Earth that is too hot for humans will triple. This is fine. 🔥🧪
  

  Joseph D. Ortiz @earthsciinfo.bsky.social

  Do not feed the trolls. If you think that climate scientists are to blame for the lack of progress on GHG emissions reduction, we are done talking. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋

  
  

  David Roberts @volts.wtf

  The US information environment is just as broken as it was during the election. More broken every day, matter of fact. The idea that authoritarian incompetence will be self-evident -- that the story will tell itself -- is just wildly naive at this point.
  

  Peter Gleick @petergleick.bsky.social

  For a political photo op and a social media post, the Trump administration has thrown away billions of gallons of California #water." @petergleick says it was “a needlessly self-destructive action purely for political showmanship.” www.latimes.com/environment/...
  

  David Ho @davidho.bsky.social

  The world will eventually run out of fossil fuels, so our choice is really between stopping their use on our own terms now or being forced to find alternatives in the future while having a terrible climate, tens of millions of deaths from air pollution and climate disasters, higher sea level, etc.

  Trump's new EPA head Lee Zeldin—who has virtually no experience in environmental science or policy—is threatening to fire 1,100 EPA employees who work on climate change, reducing air pollution, enforcing environmental laws and other programs, according to a leaked email.
  

  Michael E. Mann @michaelemann.bsky.social

  Hey @theguardian.com: you can drop "economy" from the statement and it's still valid.
  

  jael holzman @jael.bsky.social

  For the layperson out there… All the Biden era climate law grant money was supposed to be released today under a court order. Trump’s DOJ today said it complied with that order. Former EPA official who handled said climate money says that’s not true.
  

  David Ho @davidho.bsky.social

  Seems fine: “The Trump administration has warned more than 1,100 Environmental Protection Agency employees who work on climate change, reducing air pollution, enforcing environmental laws and other programs that they could be fired at any time.”
  

  David Ho @davidho.bsky.social

  I'm on a national committee that bridges the ocean and atmospheric science communities to facilitate research on ocean-atmosphere interactions and their role in marine biogeochemical cycles. Our weekly meetings have been put on hold to ensure we don't violate Trump's EO on DEI. 🙄

  The USAID stuff is just preposterously dark. A tiny sliver of the government’s budget, literally saving thousands of lives, pulled from one day to the next out of pure indifferent cruelty.
  

  Peter Gleick @petergleick.bsky.social

  Book burning? If everything was digital in Hitler's 1930s Germany, this is what his book burning would have looked like: deletion of data, removal of websites, retraction of scientific studies, censorship of words like "equity," "diversity," "climate change."

  Zeke Hausfather @hausfath.bsky.social

  January 2025 was quite unexpectedly the warmest January on record at 1.75C above preindustrial, beating the prior record set in 2024. This is despite the presence of La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific, with the El Niño event of 2023/2024 long faded. www.theclimatebrink....

  For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...
  

  George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

  1. If Trump runs out of immigrants to persecute, I suspect the next target for his performative sadism will be people with disabilities. Already, without a shred of evidence, he has blamed the air crash on disabled air traffic controllers, with horrible, stereotyping slurs about their disabilities.🧵
  

  Peter Gleick @petergleick.bsky.social

  Dear California farmers and Congressional representatives: Trump has just literally thrown millions of gallons of #water away that farmers were counting on this summer, purely to brag that he could. That #cawater cannot be captured or used now by anyone. www.latimes.com/environment/...
  

  Kate Marvel @drkatemarvel.bsky.social

  One tiny, private act of resistance: reading long, old books. Feels subversive to a) pay sustained attention to b) something that can't be monetized.
  

  George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

  3. Trump has openly and disgustingly mocked people's disabilities. He's said to have a horror of people with missing or damaged limbs. We don't know how far he is willing or able to go, but we know what the far right has done in the past. We must stand in solidarity with all his potential victims.
