Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

This is so upsetting. The US is the worst climate offender per capita and literally leading to the destruction of vulnerable communities around the world.

If we only start doing something when it affects us, who knows the damage that would’ve happened worldwide…

Rich countries don't want to repay low-income countries for adaptation.

But remember that climate impacts for the average citizen of a low-income country at 1.5°C of global warming won't be felt by ~40% of people living in high-income countries until >3°C. That is climate injustice. #COP29

Food additives, pesticides and vaccines are on his “Make America Healthy Again” hit list.

Hard as it is to believe, Trump 2 era will also bring climate opportunities

There will be a raft of politicians needing to define themselves in opposition

Suddenly they will do stuff they told us they couldn’t before because it’s now good politics 🤷‍♂️

All these retailers continuing to promote low quality products that are wasteful and environmentally irresponsible. Temu and Shein have faced so much backlash already, yet Amazon still wants to get a piece of the pie. Hypocritical given how often Amazon claims to be eco-friendly

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.

Some of those stories may even be true!

But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇
