"The age of accountability for the fossil fuel industry has just begun and has a bright future," Jeff Goodell writes. "The reason for that is the emergence of a powerful field of climate science known as attribution science." nyti.ms/4jcT2XS
Check out the music video we put together from clips from "Musk," to celebrate DAvid Byrne's song, "Let Me Sell You a Dream," written by David and Daniel Pemberton. theplaylist.net/musk-david-b...
If you ask a climate scientist what the future will look like, the only honest answer is 'who the hell knows'. because we are physicists not fortune tellers and the future is determined by human behavior, not the laws of physics
Terrific piece, but it just skims the surface of what's going on at @utaustin.bsky.social, where a great public university is being dismantled with astonishing speed.
Yes. But rising seas from melting ice amplifies all that, and is what will doom these tracks in the coming years.
If only Claude had told us sooner that ice melts in a hotter world, I'm sure we would have taken action to avoid this.
Another lawsuit filed against Big Oil for climate damages, this time by Brazil's national prosecutor: "The costs of climate damage should not fall solely on society and on those who lost everything in the tragedy."
Thanks, John
“It’s 99 percent of us against like 15 billionaire dudes and the weak leadership that allows them to get away with whatever they want.”
A pretty good description of how things work in Texas right now by @ginafortexas.bsky.social
A simple idea for regulating data center mania: "No large data center...should receive the permits or grid connection it needs unless its developer brings enough new carbon-free generation, energy storage and transmission online to meet its additional electricity demand—and pays the full cost."
@jeffgoodell.bsky.social lays out the growing scientific underpinning for suing oil companies, while @insideclimatenews.org reports on yet more new evidence of their decades-long deception campaign
Thanks, John. I can hardly wait to finish writing it!
Happy pub day to @janetreitman.bsky.social. Go buy her book. It's as good and powerful and moving as @anandwrites.bsky.social's review says it is.
Thanks, David.
Thanks, Andy
"Most of these lawsuits were not filed by tattooed, vegan anticapitalists, but by sober-minded public officials desperate for money to repair sea walls, fight more intense wildfires and prepare their cities for a hotter world." @jeffgoodell.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/o...
"Attribution science...helps us see a storm or a heat wave or a flood not as an act of a god or the whim of Mother Nature, but as a disaster that has been knowingly shaped or intensified by particular human actions."
great piece by @jeffgoodell.bsky.social today

I wrote about how no matter what SCOTUS decides in Suncor v. Boulder case, they can't stop climate attribution science. One way or another, accountability is coming.
Tremendously meaningful to do this Q&A about THE INHERITANCE with @rolllingstone, my home for 15 years, and thespringboard for this work @seanwoods.bsky.social @willdana.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
