@RobRobbEdwards My days of hating our species are certainly coming to a middle.

@hankgreen I’m manifesting @hankgreen coming on @qikipedia after just seeing your short saying that you always wanted to🤞

Happy Black Friday! 🎉

@Tzeporah we got these two lovely creations :)

1/4.⚡️BREAKING⚡️: The text on the institutional arrangements to operationalize the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage to provide technical assistance to countries and communities impacted by #LossAndDamage has now been agreed by all Parties at #COP27.

@maddow probably a very generous interpretation but could he mean that switching to electric cars won’t have the desired effect as long as the U.S. electricity mix is far from green in terms of CO2/kWh?

@LicypriyaK @AlsisiOfficial @MfaEgypt I’m glad you had a good experience. We did a desert tour here at Sharm today and I left with a knot in my stomach. Camels looked miserable, ride was 5min clearly only for photos, everywhere the deafening noise of quads, tiny children serving tea afterwards. Left stressed and sad.

@TansuYegen this is triggering some deep seated fear in me from playing Tomb Raider as a teenager…there is going to be a tiger jumping out any second, I just know it!

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

John Kerry’s intense promotion of nuclear power today at the #COP27 relied a tad too much on idyllic cgi depictions of fields in bloom and snow-capped mountains…but not one word on how to solve the issue of waste.

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

@GreenSolitaire Hope you brought a scarf for the freezing cold action rooms! Where and when can we hear you speak?

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

🔵 🫧 Women in blue dresses have appeared at #COP27, bringing this intriguing message:

#FloodTheCOP27 is coming… 🌊

...It seems... it is coming today...

Watch this space for more updates!

@StutiNMishra @DianaUrge Came prepared for the cold but not for the ventilation NOISE in the Action Rooms! A background of constant low level stress during each session :/

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

@StutiNMishra @DianaUrge just at the airport or inside the conference buildings as well? Might bring my Glasgow outfits after all then 🫠

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

passion+ingenuity from people in carbon removals at #COP27 biochar, mangroves and organic farming (unlike future tech #CCS) already exist today and save livelihoods and communities! “We can do as much of this as you are willing to invest.”

Just give them the money already!

@Disfosgen @PPinzler Das „früher war alles viel teurer“ würde ich differenzieren. Wir können uns heute quantitativ viel Kleinkram, Textilien und Kruscht leisten, der quasi wertlos wird in dem Moment, in dem er gekauft wurde. Dinge mit inhärenten Wert sind eher teurer imho.

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

@qbas81 @jasonhickel sry, I seem to automatically read everything on this platform as contrarian now…

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

@qbas81 @jasonhickel the 400 Gt is referring to 2020

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

@cooperownbey @sandwich135 @hankgreen THAT is a different question altogether 🤷‍♀️ When talking about the big bang I’m not even sure “initially” has a robust meaning.

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

@sandwich135 @hankgreen Most of the stuff from the big bang did indeed go back to being energy(cosmic microwave background)but we think that before everything just annihilated again some process created an asymmetry in quantum numbers(CP)so a tiny bit of matter didn’t find its antimatter. that’s us.

[Paula Pitz @PaulaPitz]

@hankgreen which tells you that our universe has CP-violation.

Not having stuff would be more elegant. but maybe something in the big bang sparked joy.
