If you read this paper (science.sciencemag.org/conte…), you’ll find that back in 2004(!) scientists had already provided key insights into how a pandemic/ epidemic can evolve, including the type of pandemic we’re currently facing. Full read: geertvandenbossche.org/post/…

Why do we always have to learn things the hard way? This final lecture contains a summary, key lessons and conclusions from my Covid-19 analysis. My homework is now done but will remain available to everyone on geertvandenbossche.org youtube.com/watch?v=w3xq4cEH…

Every minute we lose the equivalent of 40 football fields of tropical forests — and millions of people could be unknowingly invested in that deforestation through their retirement plans.

It's time to start asking our elected officials how they are going to achieve this. Or let them explain why we should give up on the 1,5°C target, and by doing so significantly increase the risk of setting off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control. 1/3
How big is the CO₂ bucket for 1.5°C?
Well, the bucket is about to overflow in a few short years, unless we:
1. Turn off the tap (urgently)
2. Put a hole in the bottom to remove CO₂ (negative emissions)

Delighted to be part of the founding efforts of the Citizen Labor Energy Coalition now 40 years ago, but especially to continue ongoing collaboration with @ToSaveEnergy and others to build smart energy policy moving forward!
Yesterday @ToSaveEnergy was honored with a wonderful award for its work to promote smart energy policy. Thanks to the Citizens Labor Energy Coalition for the recognition for all the great policy work happening at the Alliance! @EconSkip

Almost every mosque in Jordan is now 100% renewable - producing more energy than they use and schools are following their lead

A million people on the streets.of Bolivia protesting the destruction of the Amazon and demanding action! Why is this not on the news? Why do they not matter-this is a human rights issue! Every voice counts - we need to shout and scream for the Amazon! Its still burning!
Why is no international media covering this?
More than 1 million people in Bolivia have taken to the streets to demand democracy & call upon President Morales to declare the #AmazonFires a national disaster and let international aid in.

The Netherlands no longer has any street dogs. It brought its stray population under control through encouraging citizens to #AdoptDontShop

Removing four dams on the lower Snake River would open up hundreds of miles of waterways, restore safe passage to and from the imperiled wild salmon’s spawning habitat in central Idaho, boost salmon production and afford more prey for orcas.

While "The World Is on Fire,' @DNC Kills Resolution for #ClimateDebate - go.shr.lc/2ZeNtjB "Our entire future is at stake, but @TomPerez just swept aside the climate crisis for someone else to solve. That isn't leadership... That isn't what it means to be a Democrat."

How do you keep cities cool as the world gets hotter? It’s sort of a no-brainer: Less concrete, more jungle. buff.ly/2L9fLCe

Help save our #oceans by refusing soap and hand sanitizer products with #microbeads in them! These #microplastics wash down your drain and end up in our oceans, resulting in the plastics being a part of the food chain 😢

My only regret; why it took so long💔
Why I decided that being #vegetarian was a good #compromise🤔
I dodged the #truth pretending that #dairy & #eggs are benign when nothing else involving #animals is🤔
You only regret the days you decided not to be #vegan🐾💕
And so do they🐄💔

Fish are the forgotten victims.
Please don’t turn away.
2.7 trillion, this is the number of sentient beings who feel pain, stress, and fear, dragged from the oceans each year by the fishing industry.
