Important commentary on the realities needing to be accepted by those living in the West. We are already at war with #Russia and it’s allies and have been for years.
The Ukraine missile crisis: Putin’s shadow war against the west finally breaks cover
After Kyiv used Storm Shadow missiles, Russia’s leader asserted his ‘right’ to attack the UK and US. In truth, he has been doing exactly that for two years now

Perplexing results of this new paper: you cannot deny the role of social media in peoples lives yet when platforms become politicised and unsafe what is the action to take? Abandon existing communities and spaces or risk or accept less engagement and bias. I wish I had an answer!
New #preprint! We surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries to find out: Where do they come across information about #science? How do they #communicate about it? We also tested country factors like #AcademicFreedom and #PressFreedom and identified interesting patterns 🔎

IPCC scenarios are projections, not predictions.

"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."

We get to decide what the world will look like in 2100.

I am sure that Dr Sultan Al Jaber and @COP28_UAE’s success will be judged (fairly) on the outcomes of #COP28  but I think we are witnessing a masterclass in multilateral leadership. This will be the bar for not just future COP hosts but for the bar for multilateralism full stop.

I’m optimistic about #COP28UAE. Not that I have any proper evidence to back it up but I’ve a sense that Al Jaber could spring a surprise.
If all else fails we fall back to our positions on phase out, just transition, production gap, and carbon inequality detailed here: www.sei.org/events/sei-a...

Priest Nick Howe at the English Church in Stockholm, Sweden said today in our Remembrance Day service; “war is the failure of diplomacy”. Seems simple. But the more I think about peace the more I see a need for a readiness for war. Almost like to have one you need the other.

Here is my hot take of the week. Social media is dying, X is the biggest example but engagement is falling across platforms. Press and media will fill the void. In both my professional and personal life I see the authenticity and rigour shown by “proper” journalism will drive a massive comeback.
