Ever heard of the millennial who kept writing odd numbers?

Turns out, it was because he can't even

[AJ #LabanFilipinas @AJsaysthings]

Because giving people cash works. There is tons of literature about that.

Even Nobel Prize winning economists thinks so.

The actual way to have energy and transportation security against crises like this is to decarbonize your transport system - transition to electric public transport, electric work vehicles, walking and cycling.

Paminsan-minsan binibiro ko na tayo dito sa Pilipinas ay may shared "Tropical trauma", pero mukhang legit pala.

Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David, known for his defense of human rights especially during Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs, said Catholics should not “romanticize” the manger at Bethlehem. https://t.co/z7a14tXdkF

Classes are cancelled for the nth time this term due to severe weather—the most I can remember. Climate change is exacerbating inequalities in countries that contributed the least to it, and we need world leaders who care about it, but oh no the price of eggs and male loneliness

The only way we reverse this behavior is if we shame the absolute shit about it. The genie is not going back in the bottle unless you stuff it kicking and screaming

Céline Dion, Slimane, AND Kate Miller-Heidke's dancers? Thomas Jolly is a Eurovision fan.

two ipcc authors wrote a paper for kids that was peer-reviewed by some teenagers and the level of frankness is something a lot of climate scientists could learn from

This is the coolest summer of the rest of our lives.

[Mark @slitheringmilk]

it’s so unfair that the global south is suffering the brunt of the climate crisis when the richest of the global north is almost totally responsible for it

[Bea Orante @beaorante]

On that note, The Climate Denier's Playbook has an episode about how bad geoengineering actually is: https://t.co/0YexU8wIVI

[Bea Orante @beaorante]

Short answer: Geoengineering is bad, actually.

Long answer: Geoengineering is unfeasible and relies too much on the goodwill of the rich and powerful. It could buy us time (but at what cost), but it wouldn't actually solve the root problem (i.e., emissions).

PUT THE FUCKKIN SULFUR BACK IN THE BOAT JUICE

[Dr. Pamela Cajilig @anthropam]

Further alienation of the masses that could be allies in restoring democratic freedoms is the price paid for the short-term self satisfaction of being right.

[Bea Orante @beaorante]

How many of the people saying, "I'm only driving because of bad public transportation," also push back the hardest against carving out dedicated bus and bike lanes? I bet the Venn diagram of that is close to a circle.

[Dr. Pamela Cajilig @anthropam]

Sponge cities as an urban flood management method: "... it's all about giving water space and creating conditions so that it can be absorbed back into the earth, instead of flowing into channels, pipes or streets."

Time for massive investments in public transit, active mobility, and AQ monitoring. Throw in a congestion pricing/ULEZ setup too for good measure. https://t.co/4L09C1diBL
