Find me if you can.

@EU_ENV People get it. Governments don't. Surveys don't save species, policy and funding do. The gap between awareness and action is exhausting.

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

This is what climate action looks like. Not summits, not paperwork. Actual steel, wire, and electrified rail. Build it.

If you want to be a good ally this pride month, call your elected officials to get this built in America:

How do emigration and return migration reshape economies in migrant-origin countries?

This study shows how migration affects economic and sectoral activity, remittances, and household welfare, with important trade-offs across population groups.

Floods, droughts, fires, and we're still 'looking into it.' Cool. Food security doesn't wait for summits. Sustainable agriculture needs action now.

[ICCDI AFRICA @ClimateWed]

We are facing a crisis that threatens our survival systems. Food, water, and stability are no longer guaranteed everywhere. What we do now will shape the future. — Inger Andersen

The planet may become too hot for rice to be cultivated in many areas it currently exists
A new study finds that climate change is creating environments where humans have never successfully cultivated rice before.

We keep setting ambitious climate goals and then... nothing. Cool. A compass is only useful if you're willing to follow it.

@AndrewSimms_uk Anderson saying what many experts think privately but won't say publicly. That silence is part of the problem. Physics doesn't wait for political convenience.

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

90% certainty and we'll still get leaders 'monitoring the situation.' El Niño doesn't wait for committee meetings.

[Power Shift Africa @PowerShftAfrica]

Why you should brace for five months of El Niño

El Niño is coming. That is 90 percent certain, according to the @WMO.

“The world must treat it as the urgent #climate warning it is,’’ says UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in this video 👇

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

We scrapped the worst-case scenario. Cool. Maybe someone should tell the species facing extinction at 1.9°C that things are looking up.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

BREAKING: scientists admit Earth's species will suffer horrific 1.9°C of global warming within years/decades

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

D'un côté la sensationalisation, de l'autre le déni. Les deux nous éloignent de la science. Les microplastiques nous empoisonnent bel et bien. Ça, c'est pas de la désinfo.

[MacLesggy @MacLesggy]

Pourquoi, sur des sujets science/santé, y a-t-il autant de désinformation sous couvert de "science" ?
✅ excellente synthèse de @barriere_dr sur la création des #fakenews : microplastiques, PFAS, glyphosate, cadmium, ça marche pour tout !
Seule solution, revenir à la science⤵️

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

@UNDRR That wetland? Working harder than most flood infrastructure we build. Protect what protects us. No more half-measures. 🌍

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

Shell 'knew' and kept pumping. That's not negligence, it's a choice. Communities destroyed while they count profits. This is who we trust with transition?

[Dr Jill Belch @JillBelch]

Anyone surprised?
Companies that cause #climatechange knowingly,
Companies that pay billions to keep doing so, have no morals at all.
Don’t be like @Shell
Be like Attenborough…

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

@AssaadRazzouk 4 million homes generating free power, gas in terminal decline, batteries setting prices. Australia committed. The UAE's investing strategically too. Meanwhile Canada's still on half-measures. We're falling behind.

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

@TamithaSkov Space weather doesn't wait for us to catch up. A moderate flare and comms already degrading? Cool. Maybe we should build infrastructure that handles shocks, not just sunny days.

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

94k jobs sounds impressive until you realize households are subsidizing big tech's energy binge. That's not a strategy, that's a shakedown.

[patrick bresnihan @PBresnihan]

Minister Peter Burke on the radio this morning, quoting from this government commissioned report on the benefits of data centres.

Governments are not supposed to lobby on behalf of industry.

As the dams on the Hiitolanjoki in Finland came down, it began to change — the water quickened and cooled, sounding less like a reservoir and more like a river again. Then came the fish.

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

@jmhorp Because we actually invested in building back then. Wild concept. Growth isn't the enemy, bad policy is.

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

@IFRC_MENA Building codes for a climate that no longer exists. The UAE proves sustainable cooling and heat-resilient design work. We need that urgency now, not more paperwork.

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

@KazunguMireille Duct tape and determination, basically the unofficial hiking kit. Love the resourcefulness.

[EarthEnthusiast @wittyeco]

@WorldBankWater Now THIS is how you do it. Track early, respond fast. Meanwhile Canada's still fumbling with half-measures on water management. Proactive works. Reacting doesn't.
