Today's Annual Climate Change Statement missed a few details. We're here to fill in the gaps. 🧵

First, critically, there was no mention that emissions have INCREASED since last year.

I don't know what Musk is on, but it certainly isn't helping his cognitive ability here. He just seems like he's lost his mind now completely. @Yes_IamSancho

This is what very good public health messaging looks like

If you live in a state w/o this quality PH info & advice, pls share with loved ones & colleagues

Note: “mask in high risk settings” in current wave includes any public indoor space where you’re sharing air with others

"surges in other diseases in the wake of the pandemic may not be due to “immunity debt,” as many had earlier suggested, but could be spurred by direct damage to the immune systems of those who had symptomatic and even asymptomatic cases of COVID" https://t.co/wI54SP2OwA

Message #1 for #COP28
Science facts are useful

The planet’s on fucking fire
There are a lot of things we could do to put it out
Are any of them free?
No, of course not
Nothing’s free, you idiots
Grow the fuck up

@crimsonartist One of the worst outcomes of the COVID pandemic I've found has been the loss of empathy from many.

A performance on Parliament Lawns by Kelvin Smith on piano and Anna Mykhalchuk painting a mural in Ukrainan folk art style. It was a tribute to the defenders of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.

@gasugasu1984 What is wrong with these people ?

[Conor Browne @brownecfm]

I can assure you, unlike the medical field, no-one in biodefense would have considered the idea of a pathogen being airborne the least bit contentious. I was recommending FFP2 / FFP3 almost from the start.

As UK Govt. is using excuse “we’re just following advice of UKHSA”, and UKHSA are members of professional bodies with ethical standards, the answer to apply to their ethical standards boards to have them all struck off?

Given herd immunity can’t work, there’s also incompetence!

"For the United States alone, the economic cost of long COVID is estimated to be $3 trillion over the next five years."

Long COVID is an economic justice issue that we can not afford to ignore.

NEW RESEARCH

Solar will "dominate" global grid by 2040s

It's already cheapest way to get electricity in many countries – incl cost of system storage

(Wind is cheapest almost everywhere else)

By 2027, solar + system storage will be cheapest everywhere except northern Europe
