Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

The nasty little thing with climate change is that the situation progressively gets worse as long as we emit greenhouse gases, and that is irreversible. So there's no happy message "Let's bring emissions to zero and then everything will be alright" Nope, everything will be worse than it is now. 1/

We're looking at trying to have to adapt infrastructure and ways of life that took hundreds of years to construct in just the next couple of decades. At the same time as ecosystems which assembled over millenia are thrown into massive flux! & then keep doing it until fossil fuels are phased out!

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Beef has a huge climate problem. And the most effective solution -- by far -- is to simply reduce beef consumption and waste. But we don't want to hear that, so we often welcome fuzzy greenwashing stories instead. In the end, however, the math doesn't seem to work. drawdown.org/insights/gre...

Excellent and essential letters here, laying to rest some pervasive myths about Carbon Capture and Storage, and raising further concerns about both the astonishing financial outlay and the vast climate damage it will cause.
