Our homes are being destroyed for a pipeline. Families are losing land, livelihoods, and security while corporations chase profits. Development should uplift communities, not displace them. How many sacrifices must people make for a project that deepens the climate crisis? Stand for justice. Stand with affected communities. #stopEACOP #peopleoverprofit #climatejustice #makepolluterspay
"All of this is a huge diversion of resources and deflection from the task at hand. As one of us likes to say, when you’re in a climate hole, stop digging … and burning fossil fuels. It really is, at some level, that simple."
Here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:
1. The reason why there can never be majorities for a just socio-ecological transformation in the rich world is that ca. half of Northern populations belong to "the highest-consuming 10% of the world’s population."

Amid deepening divisions, new and protracted conflicts are compelling millions of people to seek safety far from home.
On #WorldRefugeeDay, we call for renewed solidarity and stronger support for all those forced to flee, and the countries and communities hosting them.
So far, the oceans have absorbed more than 90% of the excess heat human activity has trapped on our planet. Now that’s changing and the harm is showing up as more frequent and intense marine heatwaves.
Earth is storing heat faster and faster.

“Water is excellent at storing heat. Water has a high heat capacity it absorbs a lot of heat before it begins to get hot. Air, on the other hand, is not so great at storing heat. To compare, the top few meters of the ocean store as much heat as Earth's entire atmosphere”.

If Kamala Harris had become president of the United States, Trump would be in prison, the strait of Hormuz would be open, Ukraine would be victorious, gas would be under $3 a gallon, and the U.S. would STILL be respected and supported around the world.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni fired back after Trump doubled down on his attacks, telling him that his “constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless” and rejecting his claims about her popularity and Italy’s military cooperation with the United States. “Italy remains a sovereign nation,” Meloni wrote, before ending with a pointed message to Trump: “My popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”
Trump blames the pool algae on vandalism. Yes, vandalism in DC is rampant. Last year vandals destroyed half the White House. Last week a gang of criminals ripped up the South Lawn and staged a fight club. A few months ago some cretin graffitied the Kennedy Center with his name!
Was former German professor Stefan Homburg convicted for using the banned Nazi slogan "Alles fur Deutschland"?
And if you're convicted by a court does that make you a criminal?
"I found my tribe. The tribe of science."
Ardem Patapoutian was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and relocated to Los Angeles, USA, at the age of 18. He shares the immigrant experience with numerous Nobel Prize laureates and acknowledges that bringing together people from different backgrounds is advantageous to the field of science.
He was awarded the 2021 medicine prize jointly with David Julius for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.

The fact that Stefan Homburg is a discredited, antiscience-spewing convicted Nazi criminal would seem to call into question his credibility.
Oh, you thought I was being hyperbolic: 🤣
