Every 11 minutes, a woman is killed somewhere in the world.

Women must be protected against gender-based violence & this is what the Istanbul Convention does.

🇪🇺 Five EU member states have yet to ratify it: Bulgaria, the Czechia, Hungary, Lithuania & Slovakia.
A green-themed map of Europe showing countries’ status regarding the Istanbul Convention on preventing violence against women. Most countries are shaded teal, indicating they have signed and ratified the convention. Several countries in Central and Eastern Europe—such as Ukraine, Moldova, Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Armenia, Latvia, and Lithuania—are shaded pink, indicating they have signed but not ratified. Turkey is shaded orange, indicating it has withdrawn. A legend in the upper left explains the colors, and the title reads: “Which countries have agreed to protect women from violence?” These 5 EU countries (Lithuania, Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria) are only 1 step away from better protecting women by law. Their governments just need to ratify & enforce the Istanbul Convention. The lives of thousands of women are in their hands.

Century In Dire Climate Report
www.vice.com/en/article/1...
Himalayan glaciers are melting at a rate of about half a meter of ice per year, which is roughly twice as fast as they were melting in the last century. Studies have found that the rate of ice loss was even faster between 2010 and 2019, with one report indicating a 65% increase compared to the previous decade. At 1.5C (current level) of global warming, 30% to 50% of the ice volume could be lost by 2100. At 3C of warming, (medium 2100 scenario) the ice loss could be as high as 75% in the Eastern Himalayas.

Fossil fuel industry appear to love COP more than climate activists. Insidious people hijacking our planet.
fisherdanar.bsky.social Dana R. Fisher (aka the Apocalyptic Optimist) @fisherdanar.bsky.social · 13d
The problem with the climate regime in one article: With fewer people attending COP30 "one in every 25 participants at this year’s UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist." It is "the largest concentration of fossil fuel lobbyists at COP" and up 12% from COP29 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says

I was invited on to @listentotimesradio.bsky.social to talk about the (so-called) "stealth tax on long haul flights". Not very stealthy in my opinion but I do offer a better, fairer alternative. Listen now.

On Bill Gates & #climate I recall @kevinclimate.bsky.social talking about Gates remarks on carbon capture & storage 2yrs ago: "Bill Gates doesn't think [that CCS] can help us address climate change... it's to help him feel that he's not the bad person he actually is." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkth...

When a journalist was punished for protecting a source, the ECHR stepped in. It ruled that a free press must be able to expose wrongdoing without fear. The ECHR defends accountability, and losing it would weaken the public’s right to know the truth.
Free Press, Goodwin v United Kingdom (1996). The ECHR ruled that forcing a journalist to reveal a confidential source breached press freedom. It strengthened protection for journalists in Britain and confirmed that a free press is essential to holding power to account.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.
