In-depth: How climate change affects health in Africa - Carbon Brief

On this note, the request of avoiding the spread of links about climate conspiracies because, as for any conspiracy, they radicalise people and pose a serious threat for some:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/06/22/meteorologist-climate-death-threat-iowa/

Acknowledging climate conspiracies is an important job for every movement, but we always need to be cautious of doing properly, without facilitating access to disinformation, bc we can all fall prey to it.

Happy #solstice
This photo was a 6 month exposure from my back yard, It shows the tracks of sunlight from one solstice to the next.

I'm laughing at memes about billionaires who can't pull themselves up to the surface by their own bootstraps, but in reality I'm furious.

I'm furious I was accused of human smuggling by FRONTEX (European border agency) for being part of a sea rescue operation that saved 1000+ lives of refugees fleeing war & terrorism.

I'm furious at the money and international effort being spent to rescue these billionaires when operations like ours cost so little and save so many lives, but are punished.

In the light of today's #inflation figures and calls for measures to relieve the pain of high mortgage interest rates, my piece on inflation, loss and grief suddenly seems awfully timely. https://coppolacomment.substack.com/p/inflation-and-grief

"Everywhere is hiring" ok but are they offering a living wage? Are the working conditions safe? Do you help with childcare? What about scheduling? Do you refuse to schedule more than 30 hours a week to dodge paying benefits but demand 24/7 availability so they can't get a second job?

Ok here’s the true test of whether the fedi can replace Reddit. Can anyone help me identify this antique singer sewing machine?

I’m pretty good at recognizing all the most common models, but a friend found this in his in-law’s house and it has me stumped.

Boosts appreciated

My new Coppola Comment post considers #inflation as a grieving process. https://coppolacomment.substack.com/p/inflation-and-grief

Claims of giving up on 1.5C climate target are becoming more frequent these days.

If your home is small islands and low-lying coastal developing states, commitment on 1.5C is a matter of survival.

(And yes, I mean those especially vulnerable to #climatechange who have done the least to cause it.)

Efforts to fail the global warming targets of the Paris Agreement, including inaction, is approval of climate mass atrocity crimes.
