Map of local temperature trends from GISTEMP from 1970-2025. It's warming faster over land than the ocean, more in the North than in the South, and most of all in the Arctic. Red covers the regions that have warmed more than 2ºC - which is basically all NH extratropical land areas. Sorry.

Happy Earth Day!

Josh Rogin: “Somebody shorted the oil market today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement—

If you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that's happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began — that's a pattern”

Is Pope Leo XIV the right person to lead the Catholic Church? We asked four evangelicals at a megachurch outside of Nashville.

In the 1930s, Oswald Mosley claimed to be a patriot, while his British Union of Fascists was secretly funded by the Italian government. We are just beginning to grasp how much of the far right in the UK today has been funded by Viktor Orbán and Russian oil money.
Their "patriotism" is always a con.

I really hate how fucking frequently US news media uses "feud" as a descriptor for Trumps attacks on others, implying a mutuality that isnt actually there. The Pope isnt in a "feud" w Trump. He is speaking out against war & for peace, as all Popes do. Trump has decided to take that personally.

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

Without energy efficiency, the EU would need — and pay — 31% more for energy today.

Since 2000, efficiency has removed 265 Mtoe of demand from the market entirely.

The best protection against a price shock is not finding cheaper oil and gas. It's needing less of it.

So pleased he’s had such awful luck in the last few years #parisroubaix

Wout yesss

Times: "Tony Blair urges Ed Miliband: Don’t be ideological on net zero"

"Britain should produce more clean energy while accelerating domestic oil & gas production" - TBI

This would be a tad more credible if the Tony Blair Institute's clients weren't despotic petro-states like UAE & Saudi Arabia.

Your frequent reminder that Farage wants to frack the UK - in multiple ways - and that doing so won’t make a blind bit of difference to energy bills

It would, however, make us more dependent on volatile fossil fuels, make the climate crisis worse & industrialise the countryside

Mass drowning of chicks puts emperor penguins at risk of extinction Record low levels of Antarctic sea ice is having grim consequences for penguins yet to grow waterproof feathers

Our burning of fossil fuels is melting sea ice and drowning emperor penguin chicks, putting them in danger of extinction. 😱

Heaven forbid they could just be honest and answer - i don’t know or the information is unclear - instead of making the answers up in such a confident seeming tone.

I mean hats off to Aaron for what he does, its an amazing service to sit through such complete incoherent nonsense day in day out, and remain hopefully sane. I could never do it, no matter how much they paid me.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

$2 million per ship — to cross a Strait that was free six weeks ago.

Gosh now there is a blast from the climate denial twitter past- no surprise he’s posting such nonsense on Artemis, given his long history of crankery and anti-science schtick

What happens to Britain's radical right if Orbán loses? Inside the money, power and patronage connecting Hungary and the British right

"Matthew Goodwin has been paid a salary of up to €10,000 a month [from Hungary's state-funded MCC], according to leaked documents obtained by Hungarian investigative journalists Direkt36 and reported by the Good Law Project"
