This week we are wrapping up season one of our 'Saving the World from Bad Ideas' podcast.
@marklynas.bsky.social is joined by producer @robdeschutter.bsky.social to explore the concept of bad ideas: are we only challenging others' bad ideas, or also our own?
This seasons episodes🧵
Reports expect a 3 meter high wave. After the 2011 incident a 15 meter high seawall was installed. The evacuation was purely precautionary and is expected temporary.

There is no denying the urgency of decarbonisation. But if we do not distinguish between fossil fuels that lock in emissions for decades and those that offer a short-term bridge to health, dignity, and development, we risk deepening existing inequalities while doing nothing to save the planet.
Sad but true

“Cooking is not optional, it is survival. Our people deserve to cook, not in smoke and sorrow, but in safety and dignity,"

We wish this was a joke, but it's deadly serious!
700,000 people die annually across sub-Saharan Africa due to indoor air pollution.

Good news for a technology neutral future.
I'm part of the climate anxiety generation, but I found hope in science.
Championing science has resulted in me being attacked by the left for defending the science on nuclear energy, & the right for defending climate science.
Science, not dogma, will lead to a better future.
Cultivated meat. It could end factory farming, rewild the planet & save the climate. But it could also be about to be banned. Yes, banned, as in made illegal.
That's why we need your help, together we can build a grassroots movement in defence of cultivated meat.

We often idealize early humans, but per human we were incredibly destructive before we developed agriculture!

1/ Does climate activism work?
The short answer is yes, and there's been lots of research this year showing how
Here are some highlights
🧵
Cost is nuclear's central challenge, not waste. That said, for the price we are now paying for offshore wind in NJ (or ~1/2 what we pay for rooftop solar), we could probably order four AP1000s and get them done well before 2035 at a lower levelized cost (while producing more valuable energy).🤔
🇯🇵💙⚛️ Japanese Trade Ministry finds that new nuclear plants could provide the cheapest total system cost for electricity beyond 2040.
Narrative violation!
And their model only assumes 70% capacity factor + 40 years of life… In America it’s >90% & 80 years!

I was going to a prenatal yoga class this summer until the teacher told another pregnant women she should drink raw milk to help with acid reflux and everyone in the class (all pregnant!) nodded along
"It was a historic mistake that climate activism became associated only with the progressive Left – trapping us in a culture war that we cannot win." @marklynas.bsky.social in his current appeal in the @weplanetint.bsky.social newsletter. Not subscribed, yet? 👉 www.weplanet.org/de/join
It's been repeatedly "looked into" and repeatedly debunked
EU elections are just weeks away, and they will define the future of Europe for the next five years and beyond!
Vote 4 land sparing agriculture - Using the best plant science & agricultural practices we can increase crop yields allowing us to spare land to restore to nature.
Your vote matters 🗳️
Utenlandske investorer ber Equinor om å operere i tråd med Parisavtalen. WWF og Greenpeace er aksjonærer i selskapet og reagerer på at staten ikke støtter kritikken. – Vi er ferdige med å be Equinor ta til fornuft, sier Lauren MacDonald fra Skottland.

We call on the European Parliament to next week vote in favour of #NGTs.
This would mean EU farmers have access to better crops.
✅ Higher yields
✅ More climate resilient
✅ More resilient to pests and disease
✅ Require fewer inputs
A win for food security and our environment.
Wonderfull
Our movement is growing!
Here are some of our fantastic national campaigners attending our weekly national orgs meeting.

Today we sent an open letter signed by 35 Nobel Laureates and over 1,000 scientists calling for MEPs to support the proposal which would allow farmers to use crop variants created with New Genomic Techniques (NGTs).
