The world has made real progress in bending down the curve of future emissions. While we remain far from on track to meet our climate goals, the positive steps we’ve made should reinforce that progress is possible and despair is counterproductive. carbonbrief.org/analysis-glo...

Direct from Mosseri: they DON’T want to encourage politics and hard news posting on Threads, and the “scrutiny, negativity…or integrity risks that come along with them.”

Since COP27, there have only been seven NDCs submitted. And two of those (Holy See and Kirbati) are from negligible emitters. UAE says it has a new NDC, but it hasn't yet been officially submitted. Getting in line with 1.5C will require major NDC updates from large emitters.

I like it here and I don’t think a mega corp Twitter clone can kill spaces like these. There is a high level of original thought and engagement, people care about each other and maintain a strong space minimizing bad faith, harassment, and disinfo, which lets people be themselves & build community

I had the wonderful opportunity to give the commencement address to the UVM Larner College of Medicine recently. I speak about despair and hope, and how climate action is fundamentally about taking care of each other. My comments begin at minute 47.

Reading Sonia Sotomayor's comments in her dissenting opinion on the affirmative action case, its such a pity that these 3 brilliant justices don't get to more often write for the majority, to help our country move towards justice.
