@altagliabue.bsky.social making a presentation at @ucl.ac.uk telling us that ocean iron fertilization won’t do jack for climate and will further harm fisheries.

Yet, it’s the marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) method that has sold the most credits so far. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What if the right of Kashmiris to self-determination was respected?

Seems like a much better way to create peace and security than tit for tat with Pakistan...

What is the antidote to the climate catastrophe? Experimentation, courage & creativity. More of the same won't cut it.

It was refreshing and an honour to speak to fellow travellers Guy Ritani and @itslouisvi.bsky.social about all this & more

Thanks to @juliesbicycle.bsky.social for organising!
True leadership takes a lot of creativity & courage.

In Episode 6 of our #CreativeClimateLeadership podcast, host @itslouisvi.bsky.social chats to climate justice activist @payalclimate.bsky.social & artist, activist & permaculture teacher Guy Ritani.

This is potentially very important. There are some obvious follow-ups that could tighten the argument but the basic conclusion that emitters of CO2 (direct or indirect, scope 1 or scope 3) can be linked (proportionately) to damages seems clear.

Wow - climate modelling is leading to climate anxiety, not the burning of fossil fuels?

Many of my climate friends are at GFDL. Terrible news.
Extraordinary announcement behind cutting funding to one of the world's leading climate institutes, GFDL. Apparently it's (amongst other reasons) because climate modelling is leading to climate anxiety and therefore should be stopped. www.commerce.gov/news/press-r...

Global financial markets hated Hitler's cancellation of war debts and commitment to massive military growth. Germany almost immediately became an international pariah. None of that got Hitler out of power.

I wake up worried. Every day. I'm grateful when it's 7:30am & not 3am worry. Some of the worry is because of the threats to me but most of it is greater than that. My hope lies in our collective loving resistance to this cruelty.

@moreperfectunion.bsky.social did a great job on this interview.
