No matter what you have heard from the business-as-usual industries, such as the (deceiving) #FossilFuel & (dieselgate) car industries (AKA greenwashers), a healthier lifestyle, more social equity & mitigating #ClimateChange are synonymous.

For example, an electric vehicle public transport system will reduce air pollution & free up land for #nature & #housing

Generally, the most polluting unsustainable industries are the greenwashing industries that spread #climate propaganda.

And again somebody promoting geoengineering blaming it's detractors of 'drowning children'.

I mean... probably you only listen to the scientists that share your opinion.

Geoengineering is a crappy, unsafe, end-of-pipe pseudosolution propagated by players that a) want to continue with business as usual or b) are attracted by the temptstion to be the superheroes that will save the world.
You really want to let these people play with our world. With climate change, we have at least some idea what will happen im the coming decades (=what real scientists were warning for 30 years +X).

Kick some fossil industry ass. Fight fascism/capitalism. But don't make us wasting our time on technical geoengineering discussions...
(If you want to change big things, have a look at https://evergreening.org , a reforestation initiative that has the potential to have a significant impact in terms of C sequestration but also improves the livelihoods of the folks that really deserve it).

I have closed Twitter and deleted the app from my phone. Now I need recommendations on who to follow here. I am interested in #climate, #energy, #airquality, #sustainabledevelopment

Folks who have followed #antivaccine propaganda for many years probably remember Desiree Jennings, the cheerleader who got a flu shot and then had weird sequelae, including being able to only walk backwards. She's recently spoken about her experience and who's shocked that antivaccine advocates did her dirty? She eventually went back to school to get a degree in molecular biology and is looking for work on #vaccines.

If you’re ever lost in the woods, just say in a loud, clear voice “Elon Musk isn’t a genius” and instantly 8 or 9 of his fanboys will appear to defend him. Then you can follow one of them home to their mom’s house and get a Hot Pocket.

This is cool. The European Space Agency Copernicus #Sentinel #satellites can spot methane emitters with incredible accuracy. Can be a new tool to fight #ClimateChange.

There's no herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2. There is at best partial, temporary, waning population immunity that lowers but does not end cases. Mitigation remains necessary. Lulls are not endpoints. Large waves are not the only issue. Severe acute illness is not the only concern.

Today a bunch of Austin friends and family and dogs came out to the farm for a hang-out. There was a new baby to squeal over, and a big box of donuts. But for me the highlight was when somebody’s golden retriever alerted us that a dazed and bedraggled hummingbird had just fluttered down onto the porch (good boy!).

Hummingbirds, who don’t typically land on porches, have crazy metabolism and require nutrients something like every hour or they go tits up. This one was in trouble. Springing into action, the group mobilized with but a single, unified thought: SAVE THE BIRD. I scooped it up, Bjorn produced Gatorade*, and Niece shouted, “use a bottle cap for a dish!”

Lil Buddy duly lapped up our hastily improvised offering with its thread-like tongue; it was about the cutest thing I’ve ever fucking seen. After 10 minutes or so it regained its composure and flew away amid full-throated cheers, well-wishes and high fives. The End.

This is Elisabeth Wollman (1888-1943). Her life was extraordinary & her legacy is phenomenal.

In collaboration with her husband, Eugène, she was a pioneer of what became molecular genetics. This pic is her Pasteur Institute portrait from the early 1920s.

Their groundbreaking work was carried on by a colleague & their son, leading to a Nobel prize & more.

CW: The Wollmans' lives were ended in Auschwitz.

I've just created her Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Wollman

Warning: Public health pundits who minimized #COVID will do the same for #climate. At first, they'll feign concern for the health impacts of climate as it benefits their careers. But ultimately they'll frame climate & health as an individual responsibility & ignore the vulnerable.
