Why isn't this on the @BBC, the @guardian and @Channel4News etc? This is after all, a leading climate scientist @KevinClimate, laying out the reality of the climate crisis, our failure to address it, and what it means. 1/5
Professor Kevin Anderson is addressing all of us in very clear words: »We are heading towards 3 to 4°C of warming across this century, an absolute climate catastrophe for all species incl our own. And all we are doing so far is giving rhetoric and optimism and greenwash.« 🧵1/8

November update. Russia reported "690,000" children in October 2022. But since claimed the number "608,000" in November 2022. What happened to 82,000 Ukrainian children? "Adopted" by Russians? Misreporting? ALL NEED TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR. xitter.cf/PeterCorless/status/15…
Updated spreadsheet of Ukrainian abductions current as of last report by Russian TASS. Note that there was a dramatic drop of nearly 100,000 children. Could either be indicative of Russian misreporting or of mass "adoptions" of Ukrainian children. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

You want to learn basics of what is required of you in your chosen career. I think you should volunteer for a cause. I started my volunteer journey back in 2015 w/ @ClimateWed, led by @OlumideIDOWU. I’m proud to have also founded an impacting organisation @mttw_page in #MUSHIN.
