Two years ago, we did a study on a devastating drought in the Fertil Crescent. Due to climate change and water governance disputes the drought is still ongoing. Teheran might be running out of water, if it doesn't start raining soon. Our update: www.worldweatherattribution.org/human-induce...

Shortly before hurricane Melissa hit the Caribbean, capturing global media attention, Mexico suffered from severed flooding, killing more than 78 people and destroying infrastructure; disproportionally affecting indigenous communities.

If we do not seriously move away from burning fossil fuels, hurricanes like Melissa will only become worse. Already today Melissa tested the limits of what preparedness and adaptation can do. These limits are very real for everyone in the Caribbean. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

When a collaborator is targeted because her scientific findings that attribute extreme weather to human-caused climate change is being used (effectively) in climate lawsuits against oil companies, you know times are dark indeed.

A. Van der Bellen:

"Wer einen Dominostein im demokrat Gefüge anstößt, wie eben das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung einer ist, bringt damit viel mehr ins Wanken: Die gesamte Rechtsstaatlichkeit, die Grundlagen der Demokratie, und nicht zuletzt das Vertrauen in diese beiden wichtigen Grundpfeiler."

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Whatever its outcome, Starbucks’ turnaround strategy will end up in business school case studies for its idiosyncratic choice of hinging the company’s future on writing an increasing amount of stuff by hand on cups.

Agreed.
Plus: the user base here - and at X - are of an age where text based microblogging is still a thing.
Nowadays short form video is the thing.
Launching a text based microblogging site in the age of short form video was always going to be a challenge.
