#ClimateChange: if warming approaches 2°C, a trickle of extinctions will become a flood

This is why @COP28_UAE matters to biodiversity

Nations strike deal at COP28 to transition away from fossil fuels. With a few caveats...

[Al Gore @algore]

The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes included in the final agreement.

Fossil fuel interests went all out to control the outcome, but the passionate work of millions of climate activists around the world inspired and motivated delegates from many nations to loosen the industry’s grip.

Whether this is a turning point that truly marks the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era depends on the actions that come next and the mobilization of finance required to achieve them.

We must ask ourselves how much longer will the world have wait before all nations summon the political will to overcome these narrow special interests and act on behalf of the future of humanity. It is up to all of us to hold our leaders accountable to their promise to transition away from fossil fuels once and for all.

A note to everyone posting jokes and memes about the Titanic submersible:

Making fun of other people’s plight demeans you along with them. Regardless of the cause, ridiculing tragedy should be beneath all of us.

Human suffering cries out for compassion, not schadenfreude.

(Thread 1/10) It's not enough to be sorry when your work is used to attack journalists in "inconvenient" countries. Journalism research has no integrity if it endangers journalists at risk. How did this "study" fare in South Africa @brankobrkic? Or in Brazil @camposmello?

.@NUGMyanmar tells @RFABurmese it set up armed battalion in #Yangon

The aim: Combine existing urban guerrilla attack strategies with traditional tactics to shorten response time to junta threats

Junta in turn warns residents against helping PDF in Yangon

UPDATE: #Myanmar army spokesman Zaw Min Tun denies this meeting took place

He told Daily Eleven “it’s not true and it’s just rumours”

Journalist @tommywalkerco had also cited his sources saying this meeting didn’t happen

Re-upping because really, the enormity of this should not be underestimated. For leopards to be functionally extinct in #Cambodia is just... depressing.
(And there is still talk of translocating tigers from India to Cambodia!!)
