@wernerp88 If you can break out the card games and play bingo with things going past the window, then it's doable. My 7yo's fave part was the screen time (obvs). It's a long ride though

Seeking Twitter hive mind! Names matter - so to get beyond erroneous 'developed / developing' countries, we're proposing new country clusters, in terms of their journey towards living in the Doughnut. For starters: Rise-Shift-Fulfil-Reduce. What else do you suggest?...

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

"We need both emission reductions & Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)" is the duality I find increasingly problematic.

The problem is that we aren't reducing emissions. The statement should be conditional: "If we have rapid emission reductions, then we need both"

When a sector says they were “blindsided” by regulation changes govt signalled a long way ahead what I think they mean is “we thought there would be a change of govt that would repeal”.

@Becs Oh I had this moment like 5 years ago! Amazing!

Before I spotted them myself, some American tourist next to me said real deadpan 'oh, and there's some orca' 😅

Finally the world acknowledges the human impacts of the C02 crisis...

Such a strong week-based pattern recently in NZ's covid data... are we such creatures of the weekend?! 🙉

[Sam McGlennon @Climate_bower]

I suspect many people still think of climate change as an emissions problem... Its impact on societies and their constituent parts - humans - is already far more fundamental and multi-faceted than that. Exhibit A below 👏👇

My new article is out! “The Process of #Ecoanxiety and #EcologicalGrief: A Narrative Review and A New Proposal”, open access at Sustainability, https://t.co/s2fuxg11qS. Aim: a model which is both simple and nuanced enough. Includes both chronological and thematic aspects. (1/8)

@HaydenDonnell Ouch...

@MJHaugen Fry it cubed after crumbing it with flour, sesame seeds and panko breadcrumbs!

@marcdaalder Pity, the bouncy castle is their best PR move to date 😅

[Sam McGlennon @Climate_bower]

@EmmaVitz Great subject for analysis. Love that you had to work it out!

[Sam McGlennon @Climate_bower]

@EmmaVitz The cruelty of this is that the million 'wasted' hours belong to the people who either don't have other options or who are trying to be part of a system that works for everyone... if averaged over the entire popn it'd only be an hour each, but ofc it won't be...

[Sam McGlennon @Climate_bower]

@EmmaVitz @DenPaoa Funny to call it a death spiral in a massive expansion phase... isn't it more like '1 step back, 3 steps forward (we hope)'?

If you think public transportation is a money-loser, wait til I show you the spreadsheet on car culture.

You will probably want to be sitting down for this.

In case you don’t believe the same equations govern motion in the atmosphere and the ocean.

[Matthias Schmelzer @MGSchmelzer]

In 30 years of UN climate negotiations, eliminating the primary cause of global heating - fossil fuels - has never been mentioned in the decisions, not even in the COP27 in 2022.

And these were the results.
