Last week, Girl Scouts of the USA posthumously bestowed upon Amerie Jo Garza, 10, of Uvalde, Texas, one of the highest honors in Girl Scouting: the Bronze Cross. The Bronze Cross is awarded for saving or attempting to save life at the risk of the Girl Scout’s own life. 1/3

The more I read or hear from large banks, the financial engines of our economy, the more worried I am that they will not act until their own demise is already assured--along with the rest of the economy that they power. Exhibit A, from this week. (thread) https://t.co/gfZLzaCJdF

One major takeaway from this week's IPCC release:

Every second counts, and every step towards climate mitigation is necessary.

We need to accelerate our transition to clean energy, large-scale ecosystem restoration, and nature-based solutions ASAP.

One of the most startling Covid charts I’ve made in a long time, on vaccine inequality:

Rich countries have given out more booster shots in the last 3 months, than poor countries have given out total doses all year.
