BREAKING: scientists hold back tears and shake their heads sadly as they explain utterly compromised COP29 climate conference was meant to be the last chance to organise rapid and deep emissions cuts for any chance of staying well below essentially unsurvivable 2°C 🧵

Making the transition to BlueSky off of Twitter. 🦋
Too many scientists and activists are getting shadow banned, and their content no longer shows on my feed. My feed is turning to trash content.🗑
No surprise, my 🦋feed is starting to look the way that it once did before X.
