Many of you, like me, are exasperated that we dither, bicker, and plod thru our daily lives rather than getting on with planning a coherent and pragmatic future of civilizational shift. This will be one of what I hope will be many important forums. I'm not organizing it! srm360.org/event/global...

Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.

Hi everyone, I’m interested in trying to align my next career move with work that helps create the conditions for positive tipping points in nature regeneration- or reduces the risk of crossing climate tipping points or ecological overshoot.

‘They’re skin and bones’: doctors in Gaza warn babies at risk of death from lack of formula
Doctors say Israel is blocking deliveries of formula urgently needed as mothers are either dead or too malnourished to feed their babies
Doctors in Gaza have warned that hundreds of babies are at risk of death amid a critical shortage of baby milk, as Israel continues to restrict the humanitarian aid that can enter the beleaguered strip.
Dr Ahmad al-Farra, the head of paediatrics at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, said his ward had only about a week’s worth of infant formula remaining. The doctor has already run out of specialised formula meant for premature babies and is forced to use regular formula, rationing it between the infants under his care. Continue reading...

Good AFP fact check on false claims by notorious climate misinformer Anthony Watts about the risk of a major weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, known as #AMOC. 🌊
Great that AFP makes the effort to sort science from lobbyist distortions!
