It’s a funny time for “abundance” to be on the agenda when literally the first source of any kind of abundance - species abundance - is rapidly declining across all species and ecosystems. Of course, this is not part of Klein/Thompson’s analysis. theguardian.com/environment/20…

One of the things abundance discourse has revealed is that some of the most prominent left media - Jacobin and Novara - has more in common with neoliberalism than they’d care to admit.

“researchers found that the amount of freshwater available for lithium extraction is about 10x lower than previous estimates. Lithium demand, which is expected to grow 40x by 2040, could outpace the limited supplies of freshwater to the Lithium Triangle.” yahoo.com/news/water-sho…

"One thing was immediately clear: a warm year across the planet causes lower global growth. We found if the Earth warms by more than 3°C by the end of the century, the estimated harm to the global economy jumped from an average of 11% to 40%." theconversation.com/global-warming…

Rubio says at least 300 international student visas have been revoked. Is anyone aware of organizing happeing with regard to preventing this? Either student unions, local unions, staff at universities, anything??? hindustantimes.com/world-news/vis…

Mahmoud Khalili’s Letter to Columbia from jail: “The student movement will continue to carry the mantle of a free Palestine. History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence.” mondoweiss.net/2025/04/mahmou…

This is not climate realism. It is climate delusion. The new “centrist consensus” on climate is emerging and its highly nationalistic, flirting with more military involvement, and expecting at least 3 degrees of warming, thereby justifying geoengineering. axios.com/2025/04/07/cli…

“We have ZERO evidence that our world can exist at +3°C of global warming. It is, in short, a certain path to disaster. And remember, there is no evidence supporting that warming would stop at 3°C once it is reached. In short, 3°C is likely a path to a Hothouse Earth trajectory.”

“These international agreements were negotiated in the spirit of the Holocene: On the assumption that the conditions in which our societies developed will continue, they focus much more on political interests & balancing power than on actual protection.” thenew.institute/en/media/the-c…

How cool 🥺

Just so we are clear: this is ecomodern “conservation” newrepublic.com/article/193880…

An extremely odd review by Tooze that basically boils down to: in the face of planetary crisis we should not seek rational plans but instead be extremely modest in our ambitions to avoid catastrophe. Not only is this wrong but shows a real lack of intellectual leadership

It's a fools errand if you believe a Republican bill will be in beneficial for climate in either the short or long run. Absolute failure of journalism by Heatmap to not push back on any of this and produce a piece that quietly advocates for gutting NEPA. heatmap.news/energy/permitt…

There’s a new trend among liberals to suggest Trump is doing things that are historically tied to the left. Whether it’s degrowth, communism or now Maoism, they have such a stupid analysis and dishonest framing that this is the best they can come up with theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
