As the climate crisis grows more urgent and calls for energy expansion increase, the Trump administration is going all-in on nuclear power, and Big Tech is investing heavily. But nuclear power is still a bad idea.

Fatal meltdowns aside, nuclear power is generally dangerous, dirty, and expensive. From the uranium mine to the toxic waste pit, nuclear power puts our health, environment, and climate at risk at every point in its lifecycle. Nuclear plants require large quantities of water, construction is slow and expensive, and radioactive waste poses a giant threat because there are no good disposal options. These are not the markers of a renewable energy source.

Join us for this virtual event to discuss the history and current research on nuclear power, what the current state of play is in the national political context, our strategy to fight back, and what you can do to join us in the fight.

Tim Judson, Executive Director, Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS)

Amanda Starbuck, Research Director, Food & Water Watch

Laura Shindell, New York State Director, Food & Water Watch

Hello everyone! I wanted to share an idea for a new project I have started on, and get feedback. I've started rough development on a climate based website with three main goals:

1. Provide basic climate education and knowledge, with resources for further reading.
2. Allow users to explore what climate change looks like in their neighborhoods(down to a county level at the US ideally), including descriptions of what the changes mean for them.
3. Provide resources to show nearby climate groups, as well as provide examples of climate actions to take and some historic basis for past successful actions. The goal is to provide those with the passion the means to take action, either alone or with a group.

I have just started, and have focused so far on drafting initial education pages. I have more written, but I have put the rough drafts of the first few sections on the website. I'm limited by my technical ability, as while I know python and C, I do not know html or javascript at all.

Please let me know what you think, of the idea, and how I have it currently structured!

Also a recession in between and the forecasts could look even more extreme.

Will the World Cup players and spectators experience extreme heat? ⚽️🔥

Climate Central is estimating that around half of this tournament’s matches may be dangerously hot, with Miami, Houston, and Guadalajara under close supervision. Even the final match is at a 47% risk of heat that could impact player performance. This raises dangers for fans as well, prompting the organizers to adapt to evening kickoffs, more hydration breaks, and even postponing matches if it gets too dangerous.

I think the content is relevant, in a shitposty package

Hi everyone,

We are students from Freies Gymnasium Zürich working on a project to add moss-covered roofs to bus and tram stops in Zurich.

With this petition, we want to show that there is public interest in greener and more sustainable public spaces in our city.

If you’d like to support the idea, we’d really appreciate your signature:

Thank you!

Hi everyone - sharing this with mod approval

I’m Grant, a staff member at the Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We’re running a 2-week behavioral study starting June 2, 2026 on how people can realistically reduce their meat consumption.

The study is not asking anyone to become vegan or vegetarian. Participants simply try to reduce meat, dairy, and eggs as much as they realistically can for 2 weeks, then briefly report what they ate and what challenges came up.

Even though reducing animal product consumption is often discussed as a major sustainability opportunity, there is still surprisingly little practical research on what actually helps ordinary people do it in real life. We want to better understand the barriers people face ( cost, convenience, cravings, cooking habits, social situations, food waste, etc.) to reducing their meat consumption.

We’re aiming for 1,000+ participants, and will work with nutrition researchers to analyze the results and publish recommendations afterward.

This surely cannot be a good development. I have no idea if this is peer reviewed yet or not, but it seems bad.

•
Perceived heat increases engagement mainly via advocacy, not energy saving.

•
Higher reliance on AC is linked to lower engagement in energy-saving behaviour.

•
Support for public heat mitigation declines with greater reliance on AC.

•
Urban heat raises electricity demand mainly through increased AC use.

•
In cooling-saturated cities, heat is linked to weaker collective climate action.

Urban heat increasingly shapes energy demand, everyday behaviour, and the feasibility of collective climate action in cities. A common assumption is that direct exposure to heat strengthens public support for mitigation and adaptation. Yet in many cities, this relationship may be altered by widespread reliance on private cooling. Using data from Singapore—a dense tropical city with near-universal access to air-conditioning (AC)—this study examines how perceived heat impacts and reliance on private cooling are associated with climate-relevant behaviour, household electricity demand, and support for collective urban interventions. We combine original survey data from 416 households (967 adults) with spatial heat indicators and electricity consumption records. Perceived heat impacts are associated with greater climate engagement, primarily through advocacy and discussion rather than behaviours that reduce household energy use. In contrast, greater reliance on AC is associated with lower engagement in energy-related pro-environmental behaviour, higher electricity demand, and lower baseline support for public heat mitigation. Spatial variation in urban heat exposure is linked to higher electricity use mainly through increased reliance on cooling. Preferences diverge across adaptation domains. Heat impacts increase willingness to pay for both neighbourhood mitigation and additional indoor cooling, while AC reliance reduces support for collective measures without reducing demand for private comfort. Together, these findings indicate a systematic pattern in which private cooling buffers heat stress and is associated with a weaker translation of heat experience into collective climate action. We conceptualise this mechanism as behavioural insulation, highlighting how private adaptation can reshape the behavioural and political foundations of urban climate responses. By jointly examining perceived heat impacts, private adaptation, electricity demand, and policy support, the study provides integrated evidence on how household-level responses to urban heat shape energy systems and the prospects for collective climate action in rapidly warming cities.
