Global South Climate Database - Carbon Brief

The “Global South Climate Scientists Database” was launched to ensure that journalists can contact scientists from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific.

This morning a grown man yelled at my three year old as she walked past him at our polling station, wearing her favourite school strike for climate shirt. Like it’s not enough to make her environment unsafe, a huge adult man has to threaten her personal safety to walk through her own school too. These kids deserve all the respect they can get.

(She was fine and completely oblivious, preoccupied by dragging a length of rope across the suburb for her own inscrutable reasons. But still.)

Incredible to hear that after 40+ hours overtime, a #LossAndDamage financing facility will be established out of #COP27. This is the work of small island state negotiators and campaigners, not just over the last 40 hours or two weeks, but years. Yes it’s a talkfest but sometimes talk isn’t so cheap.

HUGE, and a good news story at the tail end of an often frustrating #COP27 - Vanuatu’s campaign for an ICJ advisory opinion on the #ClimateCrisis has rallied 86 countries in support, up from the 12 in the core group. 💪🏾🇻🇺

From Pacific to Red Sea: climate court action gathers wave of support

A campaign by the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu for the world's top court to take a stance on protecting people from climate change gained momentum on Friday, winning the support of almost half the nearly 200 countries at a global summit.

Can’t emphasise enough how much the Mastodon experience is improved by choosing the right app to use it. The official Mastodon app is terrible with very limited functionality, making for a very isolated feeling from everyone and the wider communities. Metatext is waaaaay better and replicates the Twitter experience much more closely. Mastodon is actually enjoyable with this app.
I advise picking through a bunch of apps to see which one is more suitable for you before settling on one to use.
