The Indian Ocean disaster is a climate tragedy — and needs more attention
A region unused to tropical cyclones has had three in a week. The world needs to ask why this happened, not look away.

Sehr geehrte demokratische Abgeordnete des Deutschen Bundestags,
der einzige Grund, warum die Plattform X in Deutschland noch Relevanz hat, ist Ihre Anwesenheit dort. Ohne Amts- und Mandatsträger wird die Plattform auch für Journalisten irrelevant und mit ihnen für die gesamte politische Blase.

ICYMI, this was a good thread on Gates Vs climate
Bill Gates hasn’t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjorn’s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldn’t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.
Bill Gates has a new memo out calling for a “strategic pivot” on climate change, downplaying “doomsday” talk to focus on filling enormous post-USAID budget gaps in global health and vaccine funding. I got an early glimpse of his thinking last week:
