"We believe that confronting climate tipping points and the risks they pose openly is not a sign of 'pessimism' or 'alarmism' but a sign of realism and responsibility."

Turkeys are flavorless and dry, and they want to live. This Thanksgiving, @mbolotnikova.bsky.social encourages you to challenge the status quo and embrace plant-based alternatives, have conversations about ethical food choices, and create more sustainable and compassionate traditions.
8 million turkeys will be thrown in the trash this Thanksgiving
We don’t have to accept all that death and waste for a dry, flavorless bird no one likes.

AU. Modelling shows gas project emissions will cause hundreds of heat-related deaths. Woodside stated that emissions from the Scarborough project are "negligible" in a global context. New research shows AU can no longer use that as a get-out-of-jail-free card.

For the first time, scientists can show the impact of gas project emissions
Fossil fuel companies and governments have argued it’s not possible to link climate impacts to specific projects, but Australian researchers have done the numbers.
