"This is Really Bad", Stephen Witt in @NYTimes
"The more I learn about these rogue systems, the more I am reminded of the first two months of 2020, when a small group of epidemiologists was attempting to raise alarms about Covid."

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

"The most powerful people in the world are preparing for the end of the world, an end they themselves are frenetically accelerating. Indeed, in a strange twist on the Old Testament tale, the oligarch class, having arrogated godlike powers to themselves, aren’t content to just build the arks. They appear to be doing their best to cause the flood"
- END TIMES FASCISM - And the Fight for the Living World, by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor. Coming Sept 15.

COLUMN: The hottest commodity?

One that's suffering from a major supply shock. It may sound like I’m talking about oil, but this is even more severe. Output is down 40% y-on-y and prices are up 80%.

The commodity in question? The anchovy.

@nytimes ¡Espero tomen nota @Muni_LasCondes y @MuniVitacura! La mayoría de los operadores de scooters eléctricos no tienen conciencia de sus alrededores. Lo mismo con las compañías Lime y Whoosh que realizan su negocio de forma ambulante en espacios públicos sin normas de seguridad.

@Rory_Johnston "before the scarcity panic really bites" - to stave off the scarcity panic in hope of resolution, or gain the ability to trigger it?

@robmaurer I'm getting that the aim is to increase the 1%'s level of privilege. Like Moscow's VIP-only road system.

@cjchivers The trauma of laying waste to nature cycling back up as self-destruction. Why is trawling for scallops still allowed when they can be farmed?

@Woodsideful They could also increase vehicle permit prices, add highway tolls (based on vehicle weight) and implement congestion pricing. The expectation that roads should be close to fully subsidized in the 21st century is absurd, especially in a northern country.

@COP28_UAE "(f) Accelerating and substantially reducing non-carbon-dioxide emissions globally, including in particular methane emissions by 2030;"
-> There's a mistake here, right?

@RyanKBrook How thin is "thin ice" for the fossil-fuel industry?

[Max Tegmark @tegmark]

My new TED talk argues that we should (and *can*) keep increasingly powerful AI under human control – if we do our homework and don't get carried away by hubris! https://t.co/zrBus7eHxo

Can't wait to listen @evgenymorozov !

After two years of work, The Santiago Boys is finally live - you can listen to all the episodes on the main podcasting platforms. For an even deeper experience, do it on its website: https://t.co/4lcPUPn73O

[Canada at NATO 🇨🇦 @CanadaNATO]

On Sept 20-21, Canada 🇨🇦 hosted 1⃣1⃣ Allies in Ottawa for the first Steering Committee meeting of the @NATO Climate Change and Security Centre of Excellence. Another key milestone met as the Centre moves towards NATO accreditation!

[Gabriel Boric Font @GabrielBoric]

En tiempos de tantas crisis, es bueno saber que contamos con un aliado al otro extremo del continente. Junto al Primer Ministro @JustinTrudeau seguimos trabajando por nuestros pueblos. Hoy, desde la sede de la ONU y cada día desde nuestros países.

#DeepSeaMining threatens marine biodiversity & CO2 absorption - risking irreversible damage to our vital ecosystems & climate

As 2yr ban ends, I urge Govts @ISBAHQ to issue a moratorium

We face a #TriplePlanetaryCrisis - it’s time we act like it & prioritise science over profit
