Did you know ruffs have a mating pecking order that is genetically pre-determined?! It turns out this makes for some Shakespearean-level drama out on the leks.

Want to take action on climate?
Want to find *your* climate superpowers?
Then check out SHIFT!
A special issue from the team at @biographic.bsky.social! What has happened in the year since the Trump administration's wide ranging cuts to global conservation initiatives? A lot. And when you dig into the history, it's not entirely surprising: www.biographic.com/conservation...
Today, @biographic.bsky.social published its first special issue:
Conservation Enters a New Era
One year after the Trump administration slashed biodiversity protections at home and abroad, people and organizations are figuring out where to go from here.
www.biographic.com/conservation...
With Trump axing and reshuffling efforts that have been in place for decades, one era of conservation is ending--and a new one is beginning. We put together a special issue to help you understand how we got here and where we're going. A 🧵:
www.biographic.com/conservation...
Over the past 12 months, the global conservation landscape has undergone a seismic shift—one that will impact how conservation is funded, what it looks like, and the stories we tell about it for decades to come.
Check out our special issue on this new era in global conservation via the link below:
For a century, the United States dominated & influenced conservation around the world--for better and for worse. That era is over.
@biographic.bsky.social has a special issue on the next era of conservation--what it looks like, who's funding it, & what it means for people, species, & ecosystems 🌱
Remember when CBS News laid off its whole climate reporting team last fall?
Good news: I've scooped up their former senior climate producer, and now she's making a podcast with me.
Sucks to suck, David Ellison!

the epidemic of men launching podcasts about nothing has gotten out of control
to combat this I am launching a podcast WITH A WOMAN (veteran climate journalist Tracy Wholf) to talk about stuff that actually matters (the planet being destroyed by the worst people alive)

Media still matters a great deal for climate action! Check out this webinar I'm doing tomorrow to learn all about emergency brake climate solutions, why they matter, and how The Guardian, WSJ, and NYT stack up when it comes to covering them.
Next week! Join us for a webinar on the climate solutions that could buy us time and the lack of media coverage. New research reveals which emergency brake solutions (like methane cuts) are ignored despite potential impact. 👉 https://bit.ly/4klUGov

Heat pumps! ✨ This engineering marvel uses electricity to efficiently move heat from one place to another. It reduces the need to use polluting fuels like oil and natural gas for heating and less efficient air conditioners for cooling.

I think heat pumps are a far more important technology than AI.
Yep. You heard me.
There is no such thing as truly “clean” coal.
Trump's betting big on "clean" coal to meet America's energy demand. Don't be fooled by the rebrand—it's the same coal we've burned for centuries, just with steps to capture some pollution.
So what are the real alternatives?
Project Drawdown's Jason Lam breaks it down 👉 https://bit.ly/4tGAWjM
Very proud that Project Drawdown scientists contributed to this effort to map greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
Important work! This helps us highlight where the biggest problems are, and where we need to focus our solutions work.

Zeldin thinks the endangerment finding "strangled" the U.S. automotive industry, as if BYD isn't the fastest-growing car company in the world
While others are stepping back on climate, Project Drawdown is stepping up!
We’re proud to announce the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship to support U.S.-based Ph.D.-level scientists & engineers focused on climate solutions for the public good.

NEW ANALYSIS: Donald Trump has overseen more coal closures than any other US president
That must be why he was just crowned "undisputed champion of beautiful clean coal” (10/10 no notes, I am not making this up)

It's remarkable how much our lack of progress as a country (beyond a soaring stock market that does nothing for the vast majority of people) can be summarized in one chart
Meanwhile, the United States continues to dig its own economic grave to line the pockets of fossil fuel executives...
NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months
* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor
If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far…

What is your why when it comes to climate change?
We'd love to know!
Methane emissions account for about 1/3 of the warming we're seeing on Earth today, yet they receive far too little attention.
And the majority of our methane emissions come from our food system.
We need to fix our food system to really stop climate change.
Emergency brake solutions have an outsized impact on near-term warming, with the potential to reduce emissions by as much as a third. Any guesses as to what percent of climate stories across three leading publications focus on those solutions?
