Pakistan.

This is a very bad year for #pakistan.

There are about 220M people in pakistan - compared to USA population of 330M.

Most of pakistan is now under water.

🧵👇
Pakistan is #2 on the most indebted countries
They are just drowning in debt. Notice the dates.
Now they are literally just drowning.

1. Highly laudable and interesting discussion
@AtlanticCouncil on a pressing topic. Arguments are met by argumnents, as it should be. Nevertheless, some reflections:
2. The future Russia and Eastern Europe policy of the Biden administration will have consequences beyond the US and the region itself, as will how the driving forces behind such a policy are articulated and defined - "values vs interests".
3. However, I would argue that the "values vs interest"-dichotomy is a false one. Upholding the normative global rules-based order in general and the #Europeansecurityorder in particular is a critical value and hard security interest.

Activists urge #tobacco-style curbs on oil and gas #lobbying in EU

politico.eu/article/tobacc…

A thread 👇
Some NGOs, emboldened by a @WHO approach towards meetings with #tobacco lobbyists (@FCTCofficial art. 5.3), now want the #EU to shut the door to legitimate #lobbying by coal, #oil and gas lobbyists, too. What’s next? Every corporate lobbyist? #SlipperySlope?
Several reasons why this nonsensical: first, very few #NGOs or public officials have the deep expertise in energy markets that energy companies do. Excluding them from the process would sideline relevant legal #stakeholders who are affected by the proposed legislative changes.

1. @ExtinctionR Having looked at some of your policies & grievances my advice to you as a scientist is to do your own research before you jump to conclusions; resist the temptation to go down a EnergyDeadEnd path before really appreciating after years of research life's realities
2. @ExtinctionR scenario has come about through a few scientists exaggerating #ClimateChange which is a natural phenomena that has occurred since Earth had an atmosphere; one of the variables keeping us warm is yes photosynthesising #TraceGas #CO2 as well as water vapour (clouds)
3. @ExtinctionR Earth's CO2 levels vary over time & currently only 0.041% or to make it sound larger 410ppm on average; at levels below 200ppm to 150ppm #photosynthesis ceases & all life relying on plants will die off.
Many other variables are involved with #ClimateChange e.g.Sun

Pondering some existential questions such as 1) when will Congresspeople stop clutching their pearls & put a stop2impunity? 2) when will Congress make sure that...(cont’d) realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/04/…
those who allow disc/ret, threaten public servants’ livelihoods/security clearances & fail 2 take timely corrective actions are severely punished instead of rewarded w/Amb position @timkaine? 3) when will @SenFeinstein follow-up all complaints thoroughly? &realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/04/…
when will @ChuckGrassley @GrassleyPress make sure that maligning USG officials & whistleblower retaliation don’t go unpunished, that all @USEEOC laws are enforced & admin Judges address misleading/doctored material? #SlipperySlope is due2Congress’ #LackOfOversight @SpeakerPelosi
