I stopped listening to Bill Gates years ago. You should stop too.
Instead, I would listen to *real* experts who know about *real* climate solutions — not tech fantasies.
You would then quickly see how these solutions can improve lives and help vulnerable communities thrive across the world.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Trump got his COVID and flu vaccines and so should you
Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.
Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

If a right wing influencer with a camera is trying to goad you into a fight, there is a reason for that, and the reason is we could lose our legal standing to stop the feds from coming in.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Importantly, Portlanders, avoid violence!
They're not even bothering to actually try to construct a narrative of why Portland is in danger and needs to be "protected." They're just invading a Democratic city to show that they can, and hoping to incite violence in response.

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1
I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:
Opinion | A Responsible Way to Cool the Planet
A small, carefully scaled geoengineering program could compensate for the loss of cooling as we eliminate sulfur pollution.
