It's a Happy Earth Day from a bunch of policy dead enders, bent on maintaining/supporting/expanding an anti-livable-planet, exploitive relationship with nature. https://t.co/oDEljlXW9V

“So my risk assessment has really changed. I am now very concerned that we may push Amoc over this tipping point in the next decades. If you ask me my gut feeling, I would say the risk that we cross the tipping point this century is about 50/50.” https://t.co/Tbk4LM6OE4

@CharlieJGardner Arguably, the results would be worse if the US was there. It’s not like the US has been a force of positive change at the climate COPs…

Another year, another climate gap. 🌍🔥🌡️

It's the 15th time I joined the lead author team of the @UNEP #Emissionsgap report.

How high are global emissions?
What have countries pledged?
And is this all aligned with the Paris Agreement?

Let’s dig in with a 🧵/1

Currently waiting for an apology from all the neoliberals who claimed that our current economy is compatible with net zero because it is naturally "dematerializing" due to the tech revolution...

With an exponentially expanding trade in fish maw globally, this @CITES #AC33 side event will examine its impact on target species, i.e., croakers, as well as #CITES listed species including small cetaceans, sharks, rays, and other marine organisms.

Canada and other northern countries have gotten away with their responsible-forest-stewardship lies for too long. We need the Glasgow Declaration Accountability Framework to see whether countries are managing their forests for the future of humanity.

Thankful that @NRDC is working with @Defenders on this important ask. We must forge a new relationship with nature to secure life as we know it. Pulling out all the stops to relieve stressors on wild populations of threatened species is foundational to that new relationship.

[Defenders of Wildlife @Defenders]

We @Defenders & our partners today asked FWS to seek a ban on commercial trade for more than 200 species that are threatened with extinction, including reindeer, turtles, sea otters, tarantulas, sharks, frogs & orchids, at next year’s CITES conference. https://t.co/b6Vy0ax2Cy

We're only going to save our planet and ourselves if we firmly break with the failed systems of the past and build a new relationship with nature. That transformative relationship must prioritize healthy ecosystems and abundant wildlife free from overexploitation. #StopExtinction

[Tanya Sanerib @ts4biodiversity]

On #InternationalBiodiversityDay @CenterForBioDiv @NRDC and @Defenders call on @USFWSIntl to protect more than 200 species at risk of being exploited to oblivion by trade at CITES . The #biodiversity crisis requires nothing less to #StopExtinction. https://t.co/WjVwgfmYLd

Excited to be joining Eskin Fundraising Training for a conversation this Wednesday on the the scale and scope of the biodiversity crisis. Join if you can, link below:

I guess I would just personally have a really hard time posing and smiling with someone who is killing so many Palestinian children. I couldn't do it and I feel like anyone who could has a piece of their soul missing?

If students in Texas wanted the police to stay off of their campus they should have started shooting people at school

"Violated, dishonored, wading in blood, dripping filth – there stands bourgeois society. This is it, in reality. Not all spic and span and moral, with pretense to culture, philosophy, ethics, order, peace, and the rule of law – but the ravening beast..."

Highly recommend this interview we did today on Counter Points with Safia Southey, a Columbia U protester who helped organize the encampment’s seder. Please RT

I’ll post it in the reply to this so Elon doesn’t suppress it for including something that might take you off the app

Who is Target and how do I vote for them?

You approved the largest oil terminal in U.S. history 13 days ago.

I cannot get over how perfectly this one tweet encapsulates the way the democratic party thinks

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

The things that make a good person make a good nation: ethics and integrity and mercy and love. The lack of those things in our public policy have devastated this country, and as a generation we need to say so. #Marianne2024

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Wild how we call it biodiversity "loss" instead of biodiversity destruction. Biodiversity is not just spontaneously disappearing.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Israel routinely used one of its biggest and most destructive bombs in areas it designated as safe for civilians in Gaza during the first six weeks of the war, a visual analysis by The New York Times found. See the full visual investigation here. https://t.co/0qPLwaT7td
