We must sustain the ocean that sustains us.

Climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and geopolitical tensions continue to pose a threat to our ocean, and we need to step up efforts to protect it.

A unified approach is essential for success.

We can no longer turn our backs on the oceans. They are, above all, a common good of our humanity.

Others have set as a priority to go to the Moon or to Mars. Europe, on the other hand, must consider oceans as a cause and a mission for 2050.

Great read, confirming the perception: misinformation is very much linked to the extreme right populist parties, and a targeted attempt to undermine trust in our institutions and democracy. Poison for our social fabric.
Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵

In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.

We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
