This is actually a really common scam these days. A scammer will call and use AI to replicate a family member’s voice and the family member will sound distressed and having an emergency so you don’t have time to think. Best thing to do is hang up and call that family member “back” to confirm.

🏔️ Mountains are the world’s water towers with nearly 2 billion people relying on glacier melt for drinking water, irrigation & energy.
But glaciers are disappearing fast, threatening agrifood systems & cultural heritage.

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.
We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

While trade can provide cheaper access to food, it also makes countries vulnerable to trade disruptions, such as those triggered by geopolitical conflicts, export bans, climate shocks, or shipping breakdowns.

The new Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED5, 2002–2022) shows that at the global scale 1) by far, most area burned are grasslands; 2) area burned is declining; & 3) fuel consumption is increasing: ie, fires are increasing in forests & encroached grasslands.

When someone gives you statistics, consider the words.
Terrific piece from @gelliottmorris.com this morning.
Whenever you ask if something “might” happen or “may” be necessary, it’s very easy for respondents to think of scenarios where the answer is yes, no matter how unlikely.

Why most polls overstate support for political violence
Misperceptions about the popularity of violence increase public support for it — but you can help change that.

A persistent puzzle in development economics is why calorie consumption has fallen among India's poorest despite ⬆️ incomes & ⬇️ poverty rates.
Today's article shows that rising inequality is a big part of the answer - inequality alters what poor households perceive as necessary.
