When I told my mom about Dr Gianluca Grimalda being threatened with firing by @kielinstitute for refusing to fly, she was truly shocked, and said "Wow that's awful. This is being covered in news all over the world, right?"
So far no.
@climatejourno this is your chance.
“New research indicates that there may be a whole host of toxic chemicals being shed from tires & brakes that have been largely ignored until now. Even worse, these emissions may be so significant that they exceed those from a typical car's exhaust.”

The police in Netherlands are using torture against non-violent climate activists. The courts in the UK are sentencing non-violent climate activists to rot in jail for YEARS.
Now we know why : the Atlas Network is succeeding in criminalizing protest. 1/2

Realizing that a lot of people honestly do not understand that this pandemic will not automatically end on its own. If we do nothing to stop transmission, this can & will go on for so much longer. There's no rule that says viruses have to evolve to become milder. They often don't
I am sick and tired of people standing around uninteresting in doing all they can to protect the natural world.
This is planet Earth's 6th mass extinction event, and it is entirely preventable.
Where is the anger? Where is the bravery? Where are the guts?
We won’t be allowed to hear about the imminent threats to our collective survival.

This is why I've been listening to covid aware twitter & continuing to take precautions. The cycle seems to be:
1) hmm something weird is happening
2) accusations of fear-mongering if anyone suggests maybe covid
3) lots of time passes
4) study confirms it was covid; MSM is quiet
Japanese scientists find microplastics are present in clouds
Researchers in Japan have confirmed that microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that are not yet fully understood.
The team identified nine different types of polymers and one type of rubber in the airborne microplastics, which ranged in size from 7.1 to 94.6 micrometres.
Each litre (0.26 gallon) of cloud water tested contained between 6.7 to 13.9 pieces of the plastics.
When microplastics reach the upper atmosphere and are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, they degrade, contributing to greenhouse gasses, Okochi said.

The sudden die-off of more than a hundred Amazonian river dolphins in recent days has prompted fears that rising global heat could be passing the tolerance threshold of species in vulnerable areas.

Horrendous die of marine life in Amazon river
What was once pristine and full of life is now a death zone
Not sure the exact reason but
As rivers continue to heat up and depleted oxygen levels as well as impact of mining these scenes will be repeated again and again
