Bill Gates said climate aid should focus on poverty & health, not just emissions cuts. Critics argue ignoring emissions risks global harm. Experts call for both mitigation & adaptation to avoid a 3°C warmer world. #ClimateDebate #COP30 #Sustainability

📚 A critical essay in The New Atlantis argues that Bill McKibben's climate activism has shifted from science-based urgency to moral absolutism, potentially undermining nuanced climate discourse. Thought-provoking read!

No surprise that #Twitter is ranking so low, but #Pinterest coming out top was a surprise. I wish the report had included #Mastodon or even #Vero so it looks less like a beat-up of the big players. The article includes a link to the actual report.

I think climate folks ought to consider how this article is relevant to the public discourse about climate science.

https://counting.substack.com/p/how-do-we-actually-pull-stories-out

We’re in this extraordinary conversation in which many people (deniers, footdraggers, a few brazen self-promoters) are trawling through the data looking for nonstories! Look ma! No trend in this statistic! How about that?

It’s the opposite of science. But it’s well rewarded!

#Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateDebate #ClimateBall #ExtremeWeatherEvents

How do we actually "pull stories out of data"?

It's hard to describe and very branchy

The #ClimateDebate rages on. Some (heretical?) academics say there cannot be unlimited Keira Knightley movies on a finite planet.

Other experts say fewer #KeiraKnightley #films would constitute a politically unacceptable decline in costume dramas and #romcoms; and even if there has been little #ClimateAction during her career, zero #carbon could in fact produce whole new genres of Keira Knightley vehicles.
