We seem to be going backwards on these themes. I don't see a lot of public outrage at cruel practices and animal exploitation; it's like we've become anaesthetised.

A quick heads up: Interrail’s running a 25% off sale. If you’re looking for alternatives to flying, this is one of the easier switches. www.interrail.eu/en

Stranded ship carrying nearly 3,000 cattle now at sea for 55 days The Togo-flagged Spiridon II remains off Bandirma, Turkey, after authorities reportedly denied it entry over ear-tag discrepancies, with at least 58 animals said to be dead

How is it acceptable to ship 2900 cows, half of those pregnant, from Uruguay to Turkey to be slaughtered?! I'm at loss for words at humans' lack of empathy for "the other", be it human or non-human.

A crucial system of ocean currents may be on course to collapse. This country just declared it a national security threat | CNN Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of collapse and the country is preparing for this “existential threat.”

The indifference of media and politics towards the possibility of the #AMOC shutting down shocked me when I first studied it.

With time and study, I became less naive (or more disillusioned). So, I'm glad that #Iceland has declared it a real, existential risk.

Thank you so much! I still have to add my own domain, and RSS is next on my to-do list. I'm not a working scientist, but someone who studied, continues to study and writes about environmental social sciences/ human-environment relationships. Cannot wait to join!

Since I quit most social media, I've been wanting to create a website from scratch, but I never got to finish it.

I recently stumbled upon the #smallweb or #indieweb movement, and it felt like finding my people!

The web feels exciting again!

Global Assessment - Brown Climate Social Science Network Climate advocacy has not failed, climate policy has been sabotaged, explains a new open access book, Climate Obstruction: A Global Assessment.

Big Meat is following Big Oil’s playbook—funding science, shaping narratives, and deflecting blame.

Chapter 4 of “Climate Obstruction” reveals how PR + media framing obscure corporate responsibility for emissions.

Heartbreaking! Thanks for your work.

I filmed this pig staring at me he arrived at a slaughterhouse.

His eyes. The fear. The terror. 💔 Don't let his death be in vain.

Police Bodycams Reveal Pattern of Deference to Meat Industry State troopers cited concerns about animal rights activists as justification for blocking journalists from livestock crash sites.

MFRR: Car bomb attack on investigative journalist Sigfrido Ranucci rings alarm for media freedom in Italy The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) joins the undersigned journalists and media freedom organisations in strongly condemning the car bomb attack ...

#Italy: We strongly condemn the car bomb attack on one of Italy’s leading investigative journalists and his family, Sigfrido Ranucci. Report journalist has been living under police protection since 2010. Recently, he had reported a series of threats, including P38 bullets found outside his house.

Attentato a Sigfrido #Ranucci: i giornalisti scomodi sono un bersaglio. E allora è il caso di ricordare ancora una volta una cosa non scontata: tutti devono difendere la libertà di informazione e la libertà per Sigfrido, comprese tutte le istituzioni.

I don't get to write about a lot of good news, but this is a really big deal — the global fur industry has collapsed over the last decade. My rundown on the numbers and how it unfolded: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Cycle track through central Copenhagen

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.’” — @mortenkabell.bsky.social

New study connects the dots between eating less meat and safer drinking water Fertilizer runoff from livestock feed is contaminating U.S. groundwater. But replacing just 10% of meat with alternative proteins could slash the risk of nitrate pollution by up to 20%.

Could T. rex swim? Kinda Evidence suggests dinosaurs like tyrannosaurs were probably best suited to a version of the doggy paddle.

Could Tyrannosaurus rex swim like its silver screen equivalent in the new Jurassic World film?

The big carnivore was probably able to do the dino doggypaddle, but a big body full of air sacs may have been the reptile more of a "tipsy punter" than a skilled swimmer. I dig in at NatGeo. 🧪

Assolutamente! Purtroppo la polarizzazione di questo ed altri argomenti non è un caso. Grazie mille per il lavoro di informazione che fate, non vedo l'ora di leggere la newsletter!

Can we change our trajectory and live within #planetaryboundaries?

Yes, but we have to act as soon as possible to implement the Paris climate agreement, shift to a healthier diet (EAT-Lancet), improve food and resources efficiency, consume less.

The History of 'Plant-Based Meat'

Is plant-based 'meat' a new concept? Absolutely not! But it is the future!

How Slaughterhouses Work: The Harsh Reality of Meat Production A brief primer on the harsh conditions animals and workers endure.

It’s not exactly revelatory to say that slaughterhouses cause pain; they’re killing factories, after all. But the scope of this pain, and the number of animals and people it impacts, isn’t immediately apparent.

Why vanishing sea ice at the poles is a crisis for the entire planet Extremely low sea ice levels in the Arctic and Antarctica signal a "new normal" that may accelerate global warming and disrupt ocean currents, on top of the consequences for people and wildlife that rely on the ice

It was a pleasure, thanks for writing it!

"We found that observing unnecessary high-carbon behaviour demotivates people and reduces the sense of collective effort that is essential for a successful societal response to climate change." - great article and research by @steveclimate.bsky.social
