"Carbon positive by 2025"...
I dont think they understood the assignment

[François Ruffin @Francois_Ruffin]

Ce matin, le RN vote contre la hausse du SMIC. Mais surtout, en deux heures de débats, ses députés ne déposent qu'un seul amendement... contre le retour de l'Impôt de Solidarité sur la Fortune ! Défendre les millionnaires plutôt que ouvrières !

Can climate disasters benefit pro-environment parties at the polls?

In perhaps the first registered report for an observational study in political science (?), @hy_zhai and I tackle this question.

BREAKING: This tearful Just Stop Oil activist explains why she has shut down the M25 by scaling one of the gantries. More follows...

Amsterdam airport police running after hundreds of climate activists blocking private jets while on bicycles is objectively funny https://t.co/nhiVnblHGg

Today on @publico_es: same job as their colleagues, yet Spanish researchers are paid only 1K€/month without healthcare 💸

Is this the 🇪🇺 equality of opportunity we were taught? #AcademicTwitter

We want grant equality NOW at @EUI_EU 📢➡️ join the union!

Fantastic article by @mmbuchs & @giulio_mattioli "How socially just are taxes on air travel and ‘frequent flyer levies’?" ✈️ Really recommend reading! https://t.co/pOul6MsSvw

[Scientist Rebellion @ScientistRebel1]

One week ago, the movements under #UniteAgainstClimateFailure, @ScientistRebel1, @DebtforClimate and @AufstandLastGen rang the fire alarm at the World Health Summit 2022 @WHO in Berlin.

🚨 DANGER INEDIT : après EACOP, @TotalEnergies prépare une bombe climatique qui va ravager l’océan, les animaux marins et les ressources des populations locales en Afrique du Sud.

How well can living organisms adapt to high temperatures? Less than what previous studies thought. An interesting and ..scary.. study published in Science Advances:

Les indemnités mensuelles des députés vont augmenter de 250€. Il y a trois mois ils refusaient l'indexation des salaires sur l'inflation. Dans un mois ils voteront 8 milliards de cadeaux aux firmes. Et c'est vos impôts qui payent.

Consumption by the richest 1% accounts for 15% of CO2 emissions.

Consumption by the richest 10% accounts for around half of CO2 emissions.

Consumption by the poorest 50% accounts for just 10% of CO2 emissions.

Tackling climate change depends on tackling inequality.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

European governments are trying to reduce energy use. Great. But instead of telling people not to heat their homes this winter, they should scale down unnecessary corporate production (luxury goods, advertising, planned obsolescence, etc) and cut the purchasing power of the rich.

[BLOOM Association @Bloom_FR]

Le Secrétaire d’État à la Mer @HerveBerville s’est même impliqué personnellement pour amoindrir et dissuader la mobilisation des parlementaires contre cette méthode de pêche désastreuse.
