A major enabler, funder and amplifier of Bjorn Lomborg is Bill Gates, who simultaneously sought to position himself as a climate hero (fooling some people who really should have known better).

💡New Study: Southern Africa was hit by intense rainfall this month. Our analysis has found that downpours in the region are now 40% more intense than they were in pre-industrial times.
The resulting floods across Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini have been catastrophic. 🧵 (1/4)

We’ve seen these sorts of catastrophes across Australia in recent times, but you may not have realised the damage being done globally because we have compromised media here.
Africa. Globally.
We’re already in a climate emergency.
We must act dramatically & quickly to cut fossil fuel emissions.

I follow @paulmac.bsky.social for coverage of global climate emergencies. SBS News also covers some of these but that’s about it.
