News outlets around the world are treating the LA mega-fires as a mega-story. But too few are making the climate connection, @kylepope and I of @CoveringClimate write in @guardian. It's like covering a house that's on fire but not talking about why theguardian.com/commentisfre…

X-odus: As of 20 January 2025, we have decided to stop publishing content on Elon Musk's platform X. We can no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda. 👇europeanjournalists.org/blog…

"Get involved" says @ThierryAaron at the end of this smart @guardian piece recommended by the excellent @fionaharvey. Good advice for us journalists as well in our role of explaining the climate crisis and, crucially, what can be done about it. @CoveringClimate is here to help.
Read this by the brilliant @ThierryAaron who is one of the scientist/activists I most admire. He nails the terrifying possibilities climate-driven flooding is bringing. “In Wales, we’re one more flood away from another disaster like Aberfan” theguardian.com/commentisfre…

At #COP28 in 2023 nations pledge to "transition away from fossil fuels"
In 2024, fossil fuel emissions will rise yet again to a new record high

Wow: @guardian says it’s no longer posting on @X
“We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere”

This year won’t just be the hottest on record—it could be the first to surpass the 1.5-degree-Celsius threshold laid out in the Paris climate accord trib.al/s5Y7Cde

It gives me no joy to repost this, but @MichaelEMann is right: we did tell you so. Nevertheless, the climate story still needs to be told, and @CoveringClimate invites our fellow journalists worldwide to join our community of colleagues working to tell it the best way we can
Nobody can say we didn't serve fair warning. From four years ago (via @markhertsgaard for The @Guardian):

“If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.”
Today I’m thinking about the climate crisis and the fate of American democracy — and Abraham Lincoln’s Lyceum Address. We can still make Honest Abe proud.

Bravo @bberwyn and @insideclimate for this apt summary of the very important work of @WWAttribution showing how burning fossil fuels is literally killing people. At @CoveringClimate we say all journalists in 21st century will be climate journalists: start with this story.
The world’s 10 deadliest climate disasters of the past two decades killed more than half a million people, and a new study by @WWAttribution found global warming fingerprints on all of them, from cyclones and hurricanes, to heatwaves, droughts and floods. insideclimatenews.org/news/3…

It's high time for journalists to rethink our fear of taking sides, write CCNow co-founders @markhertsgaard and @kylepope. Identifying threats to the common good or calling out lies are not acts of partisanship. They are journalism. thenation.com/article/enviro…
