@BillAckman The constitution?

Why is not OK for the DoD to accept a $400 million plane from Qatar, but it is ok for our elite universities to accept billions from Qatar? How is one proper and the other not? Just asking.

"We are losing biodiversity at a rate unparalleled in human history." Global wildlife populations have sunk over 60% since 1970. We are destroying ourselves and taking nature with us. Time to protect people and the planet. #vote #ActOnClimate #climate #biodiversity #nature

OK, can we at least agree, as planetary life support systems fall apart in a cascading collapse, that we DID know this was happening, but CHOSE to do nothing cos it was too much trouble and besides, we were sure it would just kill *other* people? theguardian.com/environment/20…

In 1960, David Latimer planted a spiderwort sprout inside of a large glass bottle, added a quarter pint of water, and then sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self-contained ecosystem has flourished for more than 60 years. The garden is a perfectly balanced and self-sufficient ecosystem. The bacteria in the compost eat the dead plants and break down the oxygen that is released by the plants, turning it into carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. The bottle is essentially a microcosm of Earth.

“The #NatureRestoration Law will just lead to more protected areas!” “It will negatively impact Europe’s food security and threaten farmers’ livelihoods!” We understand these concerns - but they are simply wrong. Allow us to clarify how it really works! A thread 👇🧵

Science is not a belief system You cannot pick & choose which bits to believe & which to deny Science is a rational/logical system based on collecting observations & evidence which modern society is based So believe/deny whatever you want - Earth 🌍 is still getting hotter 🥵

Over 80% of the world’s terrestrial #biodiversity can be found in forests, their destruction threatens the survival of many species. Learn how we can reverse these losses ow.ly/5HzM50DPRsS @IUCN_forests #GenerationRestoration

@Melaniegouby @pgreenfielduk Thanks for sharing! If stopping oil drilling and instead implementing rainforest conservation is wrong, what would you suggest we do instead to help the environment? I know there are a lot of things wrong in the “carbon markets” but curious what is the issue here?

“New York-based EQX Biome wants to sell carbon and biodiversity credits based on avoiding the damage oil exploration would cause.” In a nutshell, everything that’s wrong with carbon offsetting. Great scoop by @pgreenfielduk theguardian.com/environment/20…

Just a reminder that scientists who study earth science are in deep fear for their own kids because they know what’s coming: youtu.be/8kKe_x1YEoA Protest. 21st April ⁦@XRebellionUK⁩

The earth has lost 28 trillion tons of ice in just 23 years. We are in a #climatecrisis. There is no planet B. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climatecrisis #climate #energy #lookup #GreenNewDeal

Horrific. Humans and wildlife alike are struggling for survival due to another historic drought in the horn of Africa. There is no planet B. There is too much to lose. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #Climateemegency #ClimateAction #climate #energy #WaterCrisis #GreenNewDeal

”Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon surged to record levels for the month of April, nearly doubling the area of forest removed in that month last year — the previous April record” reuters.com/world/americas…

Look at how much a single endangered whale has to negotiate just to eat in the South Pacific where more 1000 vessels can over lap her feeding areas. Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #climate #oceans #whales #rewilding

Greece was burning, Austraila was burning, Washington St. was burning, California was burning, British Columbia was burning, the list goes on and on and on.... There is no time to wait. We must #ActOnClimate. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #climate #BuildBackBetter

Deforestation in the Amazon this January was 418% higher compared to Jan 2021.😡 The destruction of the Amazon is a threat to biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples’ lives and to the global climate — Brazil’s government must stop its destructive agenda. bit.ly/3swkUdv
