Now I am on a westbound train in Germany with fine views of wind turbines and productive agriculture, two of my favorite sights. Don't forget this social event at a London pub tomorrow night July 30. We will subsidize food and drink. Share with friends. It is a rare chance to meet in person.

I logged one interesting thing each day on the transatlantic crossing with the Neoliner Origin. Here for example is the engine room and cargo bay. (1/5)

We love climate-friendly aviation technology! But even the most restrained mitigation targets cannot be met without attention to demand reduction as well. The new article by Tilsted (@jptilsted.bsky.social), Peeters, and colleagues has details by airline. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Look what I found: After USAID's Food for Peace program was moved to the USDA last year, Food for Peace seems to have stripped food aid from all Muslim-majority countries. To this amazing chart from the Council on Foreign Relations, I added a column showing the % of the population that is Muslim:

Yes, it's not austerity. We actually WANT to live in the world we describe on our signs at the climate rally.

Fascinating story about a poignant dilemma. China's Belt and Road initiative is making enormous investments in clean energy in multiple countries. This does involve a lot of emissions for steel production.

Phil McKenna@mckennapr.bsky.social · 2mo ago

China’s construction of more than 700 Belt and Road projects across 105 countries packs a sizable carbon footprint. The largest source of emissions: Chinese steel. insideclimatenews.org/news/0906202...

A cheer for the rebels who will not sleepwalk into the middle years of the climate crisis! On my way to Boston, as I cycled along the delightful Somerville Community Path, shortly before 6am, even the morning sunshine and the songbirds seemed to be saying, "take courage."

Extinction Rebellion Boston@xrboston.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Rebels block access to Westin Copley Place Hotel where the Northeast LDC Gas Forum is meeting; we demand that Massachusetts ban new fossil fuel infrastructure & rapidly transition off natural gas. GAS is BAD for MASS! ARRESTS EXPECTED #ClimateCrisis xrboston.org/press/climat...

The Northeast LDC Gas Forum is conducting business as usual at The Westin Hotel despite the looming climate crisis. Outside, police use power tools to separate activists from barrels & a pink car emblazoned with the phrase "GAS IS BAD FOR MASS" parked in the intersection at Copley Square.

While reading the commentaries at "heritage-foundation.org" in favor of protecting SNAP, we see it is not THAT Heritage Foundation.

"As much as inaction on climate gets framed as lack of science or perhaps the wrong messaging framework, it's important to remember that we're here because of acts of sabotage." Now enjoying last fall's podcast series by @amywestervelt.bsky.social about the @cssn.org book on climate obstruction.

At the American Diabetes Association (ADA) yesterday, researchers were stopped by police and escorted out of the conference for distributing an editorial that had been published in the journal's own flagship journal, criticizing the dismantling of biomedical research. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/w...

Yes, so many silly people leap from absolute climate denial to absolute defeatism, hopping right over the delightfully sensible and adequately upbeat position in the middle: We CAN address the climate crisis by drastically reducing aggregate fossil fuel use. It stings a bit, but we can handle it.

Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 2mo ago

Jeremy Clarkson has pivoted from abusing climate activists and denying climate change to accepting its real but insisting that there's nothing we can ever possibly do to stop it. FFS What are we meant to be celebrating or welcoming here? Defeatism is as lazy as denialism

While sailing in Boston Harbor Monday early evening, near Castle Island, I saw a spray or spout of water vapor. A police boat came up later to ask if we saw it also. I see online older reports of whale sightings there, but none this week. Could it have been a whale? www.nytimes.com/2024/08/15/u...

Exciting interruption to the day: a loud boom that shook the house and rattled the windows appears to have been caused by a meteor explosion off the Massachusetts coast.

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to. 2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials. 🧵

Today we honor, remember, and give thanks for those who sacrificed their lives for a higher cause, seeking to create a better world. #MemorialDay

After President Trump helped defeat Cassidy, the Senator switched to vote with Democrats against war with Iran. Many folks focus on what this says about Cassidy's character. But I care more about the future. As President Trump humiliates even his loyal backers, common sense reactions may grow.

Freed from political constraints after losing his reelection bid, Bill Cassidy could wreak some havoc on Trump's Hill agenda if he chooses.

Aaron's thread was right. It's not about individual emissions. It's about a missed opportunity for high-impact social change. I hope the folks who replied can be inspired to help us on a project (flyingless.org). I don't criticize 200 flights. But I think badly of the IPCC's social media post.
