They are simultaneously cutting #USAID budget - the message is clear to Ethiopia - we are hastening your demise. And to all other poor folks living in the rest of the world.

The lede says - "The $1 Trillion Pentagon Budget Will Make Its Emissions Higher Than the Entire Country of Ethiopia." Maybe it should say, that Ethiopia will cease to exist with such budgets.

Another writer who is simply obsessed with viewing the #world as a #game and nothing more.

Instead of finding ways to bridge the chasm between countries such as the #US and #China - for #influential people like this writer - the goal seems to be #war by whatever means

So what's the trick?
Repressing a cellular structural #protein to go on the outside!

#climate scientists and activists will soon face this kind of vilification as they continue to point out the perfidy of #fossilfuels

#voters need to not just indicate their preferences in Gallup and Pew surveys but actually show up to vote and do so for the good candidates. Else it is all performative.

#China financing power in #Africa is making a difference and if the current trend holds can ensure that #electricity is also #clean

#US and #EU - turning away from contributing to this trajectory going forward.

The surveys keep telling us that majority want to do something about #climatechange

Time to put your money where your mouth is - #China has brought down the cost. Buy/install #solar #batteries #heatpumps etc. at cost to actually show you do care.

#Democrat states/cities enact new taxes to subsidize poor customers. After all the #wealthy got their tax cut right?
