...and so less than 30 years later, Rafah replaces Srebrenica in the collective memory, and it does so live and in HD.

In Rafah we all lose.

There is an appropriate Spanish word for people like fossil fuel companies managers, and that is: "sinvergüenza".

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

Here is fossil fuel companies' new defense in lawsuits accusing them of deceiving the public about climate change:

They perpetrated no deception, they say, because the "alleged impact of fossil fuel use on the global climate has been ‘open and obvious’ for decades."

"...microplastics may have become an essential component of clouds, contaminating nearly everything we eat and drink via “plastic rainfall.”"

Life in plastic is not that fantastic...

Playing with @herakoi_ is like seeing a pirarucú for the first time, it divides your life in a "before" and an "after".
I cannot recommend enough to type "pip install herakoi" in your terminal, people.

I’d rather ExxonMobil build up tolerance to lower profits.

As climate-related damages hit, remember that this crisis is not due to generic "human activity". Excess emissions are due overwhelmingly to the core states of the global North, and the ruling classes that control the systems of production, energy and national legislation.

I have just transformed a few dinners out in the increase of probability for the Afghan Astronomical Association @KAYHANA040 to join the next IOAA.

I invite you to do the same, and spread the message if you can.

Our money can still be a powerful way of transforming things.

💰➡️🌌✨🪐🔭

@KAYHANA040 is a group of Afghan astronomy enthusiasts. They inspire and educate Afghan youth, particularly young women, in the field of #astronomy.

And they need our help now.

[Margherita Giustini @marghez]

Despite incredibly adverse conditions, @KAYHANA040 has qualified for the next International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA), to be held in Poland in less than two months from now.
But participating costs money, and this is where we can help in a practical way.

BREAKING: it's over 40°C in Siberia 🧵

Humans have never been that good at naming things.
Maybe we should call the "Canadian wildfires" for what they are, for example: "ExxonMobil wildfires" or "Royal Dutch Shell wildfires" or "Chevron wildfires".

Susanne Täuber: 'If we stay silent now, the system wins.'

Susanne didn't stay silent and lost her job. Now we must do everything we can to support her and not allow the system to win. If we don't do it, we deserve this system.

100K people have been marching in London for four days, and I had no idea.

Ha pasado todo esto y tú no te has enterado. De las protestas más importantes del siglo y tú no te has enterado. El gobierno de allí no ha dicho ni mu. Los medios de allí prácticamente no han dicho ni mu,Los de aquí casi que tampoco. De hecho, mirad esta pancarta.

[Margherita Giustini @marghez]

We (wealthy nations) must stop thinking of Africa (or anywhere else) as our testing ground.

We must face the real issue: "[...] the real change that we all know wealthier nations need to make if we have a hope of outrunning climate devastation".

In this opinion piece in New York Times, I urge African governments to stand against the ploy by Western organizations to normalize research on risky geoengineering technologies such as solar radiation management https://t.co/KzYlucxlWa
