Bird Migration Explorer The Bird Migration Explorer is your guide to the heroic annual journeys made by over 450 bird species, and the challenges they face along the way.

A great way to convey snapshots of ecology and climate change is to watch bird migrations and compare them to previous years (or historical data). Here is one site where we can follow migrating flocks in the Americas: explorer.audubon.org/home?layersP... 🧪

Oil and gas industry urge EU to pause methane emissions law Oil and gas companies urged the European Union on Monday to pause its methane emissions law, warning it could disrupt Europe's fuel ​imports when tougher provisions kick in next year.

"Oil and gas companies urged the European Union on Monday to pause its methane emissions law, warning it could disrupt Europe's fuel ​imports when tougher provisions kick in next year.

The call from industry ‌comes after the U.S. government demanded the EU exempt U.S. oil and gas from the rules"

Millions more people are in the path of rising seas than previously thought Oceans are rising as the climate changes, threatening coastal cities. A new study shows that much more of the world's population is vulnerable than earlier predictions had estimated.

As the media focus on the US and the war against Iran, they ignore the elephant in the room: climate change.

Sea levels are rising around the planet. Research already showed that millions of people live in areas facing inundation. A new study finds those numbers have been vastly underestimated.

This Is What Adapting to Climate Change Looks Like PG&E’s blackouts in California are a bleak preview of the disruptions that will become routine in a warmer world.

"PG&E—which is owned by private investors—said that it could not afford to pay damages both for the Camp Fire and for several 2017 wildfires that it also caused. So it declared bankruptcy, becoming the first corporate bankruptcy triggered by climate change."

IEA Drops Climate from List of Energy Priorities The International Energy Agency has dropped any explicit reference to climate change from its list of policy priorities, bowing to months of pressure from the Trump administration after several years ...

Embarrassing to watch the @iea.org bend the knee to Trump's anti-science crusade.

But the funny thing about physics is that they don't care about politics.

The climate crisis will only get worse until we enact a rational response.

If your business model is making hundreds of billions in profit from creating billions in human and structural damage, you shouldn't get to complain when asked to pay up. That's not unfair, it's just a bad business model.

The United States Is Forcing Puerto Rico to Pay for Its Own Climate Disaster By Sarah Sax

Days after #BadBunny 's #SuperBowl reference to #PuertoRico's #energy crisis, @sarahlsax.bsky.social writes about the island's dependency on #fossilfuels, chronic blackouts, & how federal authorities & pvt operators are blocking #renewables:

EPA isn't now denying that climate change is happening. Instead they are saying that whatever the U.S. does now will not make enough of a difference to warrant the expense to Americans.

The U.S. is historically the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and is abdicating its responsibility.

Bad Bunny is telling the world that the people in Puerto Rico are American citizens and deserve reliable and resilient electricity and infrastructure investment from the U.S. government.

EPA to Scrap Landmark US Emissions Policy in Major Rollback (1) The US Environmental Protection Agency plans this week to repeal a policy that provides the legal foundation for a raft of rules regulating greenhouse gas emissions, marking President Donald Trump’s most consequential retreat from the fight against climate change.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.
