At University of Cambridge, I was asked if I maintain a sense of optimism about climate change. My answer:
Yes, because unlike cancer, where we often don't know the cause and don't have a cure, we know exactly why global temperatures are rising and how to stop it. We just need the political will.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

In preparation for a conversation about education & anti-Zionism later today, I pulled out the 3 books that taught me about Palestine, resistance, & liberation when I was a teenager in the 90s. These books by Palestinian writers saved my life. They also taught me how to be an anti-Zionist.

Mark my words: This is going to become a classic. I particularly liked how it bridged between two rather different parts of Europe (Italy, Poland, Hungary), but it has too many virtues to narrate in a tweet. An instant add to 2+ of my syllabi: "Youth and Politics" & "Beyond the European Mainsteam."
