I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

An excellent response by MIT’s President Sally Kornbluf rejecting the Trump compact.

Other universities should do the same.

The rapid decline of American science has few precedents in history, writes @rossandersen.bsky.social. We are witnessing an unparalleled act of self-sabotage:

I picked up the 1855 Patent Office Report on Agriculture at the antique store. It has some beautiful writing on climate you would like @michaelemann.bsky.social. One of the first reports by our government on our climate change actions?

“New” book - Report of the Commissioner of Patents, 1855 Agriculture. The initial pages ring loudly true today on the need to fund well constructed federal statistics. #stats #data #history

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

The Forbidden Garden by @simonparkin.bsky.social should be required 2025 reading. It’s a story of what happens when the government attacks science and the people that sacrificed their life to protect it for all of us. @barackobama.bsky.social you’d like it.
