We need to shift from an economy based on the endless quest for growth at all costs to a "human rights economy" that can deliver for the people and the planet, Special Rapporteur on poverty (@srpoverty) Olivier De Schutter (@DeSchutterO) told @UN the Human Rights Council.

As a Cat 5 hurricane approaches Jamaica, I think about the goverments of the world who met and met and talked and talked and continued with a fossil fuel based economy. And I am thinking of the oil companies - @exxonmobil@Shell@TotalEnergies@Chevron ..1/2
One reason why #Hurricane#Beryl intensified to a Category 5 hurricane over two weeks earlier than any other Atlantic Cat. 5 on record is due to extremely high ocean heat content levels. Caribbean ocean heat content today is normally what we get in the middle of September.
