More than half of Belém's population live in often flood-prone Baixadas, with limited services like sanitation. Yet the biggest and newest building in my (temporary) neighborhood is for cars.That's where we are as a society ...

Will humankind's short, self-destructive journey on this planet continue, or will we change course today? I'm guessing the first, because apparently COP30 can't even decide whether to have a discussion about voting rules. just kickin' the can ... enb.iisd.org/belem-un-cli...

I might have failed at my assignment from @fisherdanar.bsky.social to say what makes me hopeful about climate, but I think @frediotto.bsky.social and her team's work that would enable us to hold polluters responsible should be a source of hope.
