“ The only thing that matters is the part we play….(w)e can add to its grand weave, in the way we treat other people, in the daily work we do, in the decisions we make about where to put our energy, in the leaders we vote for and in the words that come out of our mouths.”

“Climate tech investments are smashing all previous records. TPG and Brookfield, closed a combined $12.4 billion in climate investment funds. That’s more money committed in a day than used to be raised in years.

If I told you that, thanks to my Time Machine, I had recently travelled to a low carbon, fairer, more just and equal 2030, and had managed to actually record what it sounded like, you'd want a listen right? Well now you can. You're in for a treat: https://t.co/qYxGLZ9bxX

Adding the latest info from Greenland - seems like something @ausgov should be paying attention to - https://t.co/G52GdlZRhm

Fascinating!! “If the Greenland ice sheet melts, sea level in most of the Southern Hemisphere will increase about 30 percent more than the global average. So this is no small effect.” Love the counterintuitive thinking - thanks for the pickup.

“‘It is a very conservative rock-bottom minimum,’ said Prof Jason Box from the National Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, who led the research. ‘Realistically, we will see this figure more than double within this century.’” https://t.co/COokdIlvBU

1/ On Being Efficient With Busy People

This is a thread for people at junior to mid stages in their career (people at senior levels generally operate this way and, at very senior levels, they all operate this way).

It is updated for 2022 practices

“these separations were also endorsed and enabled by dozens of members of the government’s middle and upper management… who, for various reasons, didn’t voice concern even when they should have seen catastrophe looming”

What was once unthinkable becomes real - airline advance notice of a large level of cancellations to try and ensure system stability #pandemicartifacts

[Rowena Morrow @prospective]

@mpesce Nice piece and such a shame that it is needed today.

[Rowena Morrow @prospective]

So this was not at all predictable and we could not have made any other arrangements?! Disenfranchisement via virus seems a poor excuse two years into the pandemic.

People who did not apply for a postal vote before the Wed 6pm application deadline, haven’t voted yet, tested positive before 6pm Tues, and are in isolation through to after election day, may not be able to vote.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I didn’t until Twitter reminded me! It is a longer time than I thought and I have learned many things from this channel and the wonderful people on it. Many thanks 🙏

If we make the inevitable WW2 analogy to the planetary crisis, we're in 1937, where most people hoped the whole thing would blow over, and everyone looking clearly at the situation understood that total-fucking-all-defining mayhem was already on its way.

[Rowena Morrow @prospective]

I love this and just what I needed today - many thanks!!

I’ve watched the video of this baby dancing to lil nas x about twenty times in a row

Oh please no. No more future proofing. Don't do it. Even for the attention. Just don't.
