We found that racially minoritised groups, migrants, and Indigenous communities within nations - and the global South as a geographical region - face a disproportionate burden of illness and mortality due to climate change. And this burden is inverse to their responsibility.

One risk that is becoming clear is the risk of extreme heat - this one has clearly emerged almost everywhere, and that means it's going to get a whole lot worse quickly - almost everywhere - if we don't stop the cause: mainly the burning of fossil fuels. https://t.co/wRkh6PkeAc

@TrueFactsStated @NPR @Twitter Now Musk is applying the label not just to NPR but to VOA, BBC, and others.
He’s discrediting legitimate news organizations to the delight of disinformation-spewing autocrats everywhere.

With Musk's approval and assistance, bad state actors and polluters are attempting to hijack the climate discourse on twitter with armies of trolls & bots that target selected tweets of prominent climate scientists & communicators. This is highly organized. 🧵
