Since COP29 is turning into an adaptation COP, I am bringing some of my past threads on adaptation from another place here.
PART I: A 🧵 on adaptation and development over the years, digging deep back to the 1990s through to current scholarship.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

For those invested in this or with an interest in cats who pee in inappropriate places: I did take him to the vet and he has crystals in his bladder, which are painful. Likely caused by ph change from stress. We are treating him now. Also may have diabetes 😵💫. Poor Mio.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

A UK climate security report backed by the intelligence services was quietly buried – a pattern we’ve seen many times before
Governments have been warned about climate change for 70 years. They’re still suppressing the worst news.

I am not involved in the @visualisingclimate.com conference but it seems like these are discussions that could be had there too.
Thought provoking 🧵. It's interesting that the examples here are often used in arguments as if they are a knockout blow - but both statements in each pair are true. It's just that one of them will feel more conclusive to you.
The optimist vs pessimist divide in #climate debates isn’t usually about the data.
It’s about how the same graphs are read, what people emphasise, what they discount, and how they interpret pace and stakes.
Here’s what I mean 🧵👇

It's cold outside and snowy, too! Is climate change a hoax?
Not at all. Winter still brings cold weather even as the planet warms.
In fact, warmer oceans + a rapidly warming Arctic can even increase the intensity of winter storms and heavy snowfall.
That's why I call it Global Weirding!

This is good distraction and interesting for cat lovers and science nerds (and all who are both).
In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS:
Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.
Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.
Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis
