Another letter of alarm against the destructive desmantling of science in the US by the Trump administration. Now signed by over 3000 scientists to save NOAA. NOAA provides invaluable data on Earth observations and science on the liveability on our planet. ucs.org/about/news/ove…

WMO: 80% chance of global heat record by 2030. For the first time in the annual five-year update, there is also a possibility of 2C. The chance is just 1% but 10 years ago, the chance of 1.5C was only 1% That is now our reality. Story by me. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Fine, thought-provoking review of The Many Lives of James Lovelock, by Ann Skea in Eclectica magazine. ā€˜Jonathan Watts shows there were many "mothers" necessary to the birth of [the Gaia] hypothesis...it is a group effort, a product of relationships.’ eclectica.org/v29n2/skea_wat…

Superb profile of Curtis Yarvin, the latest show pony ā€˜intellectual’ of US tecno fascism. In a saner world, he would be an unsavoury curiosity. But his links to Peter Thiel’s billions and JD Vance’s vice presidential power make this an important read. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

Brics summit in Brazil tries to reinvent collective approach to world’s problems. My column from Rio as Lula rebukes wealthy nations for retreating on climate and trade. Ominous for COP30 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Tipping Points need to be on the agenda for COP30 The possibility of sudden catastrophic change has been neglected in UN climate reports, which allows politicians to carry on with business as usual. That must change in BelĆ©m My editorial for @SumaĆŗma sumauma.com/en/pontos-de-n…
