Real action on climate change requires funding, not just rhetoric. The govt must commit to contributing to the Tropical Forest Forever Facility fund and Just Transition Mechanism if we are to address climate breakdown.

Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.
We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!

A great thread, worth scrolling through. There has been a concerted effort by opinionmakers who shape the public discourse to have people NOT KNOW the many long-term risks of infection, because knowing them and then not acting upon them might feel bad. Better, they think, to simply act in ignorance.
