Right now our best option is to hope for room on other countries’ repatriation flights. Again, there are ~140 Canadians in this situation, so no way is this an actual solution. Do better. We want to come home.

[Alex McClymont @owlexmc]

@GAC_Corporate @CanadainNepal @CBCNews Apparently there is still no plans to evacuate the ~140 Canadians currently stranded in Nepal. Why is Canada unable to do this despite German, French, British and American repatriation flights?? We feel abandoned, misled and confused.

[Alex McClymont @owlexmc]

Canadians were told to go to Kathmandu and many of us scrambled to do so, but now it seems that there is absolutely no plans for flights to Canada. No commercial flights until April 15th at the earliest.

Hi @RachelNotley ! I’m one of many Canadians currently trapped in Nepal and we’d love to know that the Canadian government has a plan for us to be able to get home! Big fan of you and all that you do!

No one questions science when you get an MRI or get on to a plane. What we’re seeing is that if you don’t like the message; attack the science and attack the scientist. All you need to do is plant a little bit of doubt, and you’re done - Paul Hardisty #quantumwordsperth

Tucson PD Investigating Suspicious White Powdery Substance.

We now have some answers. Thank you for your patience. See video for details.

[Alex McClymont @owlexmc]

@AndrewScheer @googlecanada Omar Khadr, despite everything he's gone through, radiates warmth and forgiveness and is far more an example of what Canadians should be than your party of bigots. Definitely my Canadian hero.

A friendly reminder that up to 25% of what we attempt to recycle ends up in a landfill anyways. The main reason? Contamination from food.
Wash your containers! Put garbage where it belongs! We’re doing ok but we can do better ✌️

For my next question: what misconceptions about climate change do you come across most often? I’ll start: probably not distinguishing between climate and weather.

[Alex McClymont @owlexmc]

Hey fellow scientists, any hot tips on talking to family who might maybe not be on board with climate change this holiday season?

[Alex McClymont @owlexmc]

@Grad_SchoolProb Hot lemon water! Water first, then coffee.
