Boy math is needing 15 attempts to count the votes correctly to become Speaker and then shutting down the government 9 months later

[Kanika Sood @kans12342]

Devastating. How do you reconcile these decisions and India’s international commitments to combat climate change??

One more nail in the Great Nicobar coffin as we are set to lose some of the finest tropical forests in India… one of the largest single diversions in recent times. https://t.co/lgmzwlqnf0

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan

As Sumer Singh Bhati of Sanwta village laments over the death of this GIB early this morning, most of the bird diverters placed on the transmission lines have fallen down, so are the birds. The transmission lines have to go underground. There is no other option.

My favourite lawyer talking about her incredible project - please read this thread.

Also your daily/monthly/yearly reminder to donate and sustain community driven strategic litigation - it works!

Had the opportunity to collaborate with all my favourite lawyers through a multi-year project to progressively decriminalize online speech in India. (1/5)

Extreme rainfall this monsoon is the second highest since 1901 for this part of the season, in line with the long-term trend of rainfall becoming more skewed. Floods, however can happen even without that if we block/concretise drainage.

IMD Srinagar suspects a #cloudburst above #AmarnathCave shrine led to flooding downstream. But, it was so sudden and intense that there was no time to respond. Crowding in eco-sensitive areas of #Himalayas increase vulnerability #ClimateCrisis #monsoon

As a lawyer who was part of the Mopa airport decision, this Niti Ayog report is even more ironic because our argument which was accepted by the Supreme Court was based on the rule of law. Incredibly important thread and article dissecting misguided Governmental priorities.

[Shreegireesh Jalihal @shreegireesh]

#Thread: Environment, Courts and the Modi government

On Sunday a news outlet put out a prominent six-column news article.

On a report Niti Aayog commissioned. This report indirectly takes a pot shot at the judiciary for the rare occasions it stands up for environmental law.

[Kanika Sood @kans12342]

Important commentary on how India’s obsession with large dams is a death knell for the environment and exacerbates the impacts of climate change!

[Meera Gopal @mee_gopal]

I write on India's unhealthy reliance on dams for @TheLeaflet_in #WorldEnvironmentDay2022 special issue.
Looking forward to hearing your comments and views on this.

BRIEFING: Despite the @IPCC_CH's clear warning on the extreme dangers of exceeding 1.5°C, govt progress on both stronger 2030 climate targets/sectoral initiatives have stalled since COP26, despite signing the Glasgow Pact. The emissions gap has not moved. https://t.co/n8nrp5oPTx

@kans12342 breaks down all you need to understand about the gaps in our forest governance framework- and the green washing of a declining forest cover, in service of industry and mining, even as climate change is visible and present.

[Kanika Sood @kans12342]

This World Environment Day, I write about how India’s forest governance framework is unsustainable and will make it impossible to reach its NDCs under the Paris Agreement.

[The Leaflet @TheLeaflet_in]

India will fail to meet its climate change goals within its current forest governance framework
