A 🧵
2/25 Sadly this took a long time to get published … perhaps appropriate for a paper called ‘attractions of delay’ which explains climate procrastination as a predictable outcome of multiple reasons for prevarication. Fortunately the findings are still topical …
3/25 TLDR1: #GGR discourses exemplify how tech promises enable prevarication by being enrolled in scientific, cultural, economic & political processes; many stakeholders share concerns that #MitigationDeterrence is arising from exaggerated expectations of future GGR tech.

NEW: The @StateDept's second review of the #GlobalGagRule is finally out. And while it attempts to minimize the harm the policy has caused, it confirms what health orgs & advocates have known for years: #GGR disrupts access to vital family planning & #SRH services.
The #GGR report does little to shed light on the number of organizations harmed by this policy--due to their inability to comply and in turn partner with the US. bit.ly/2Q5wE3T
Ultimately, shifts in providers leave behind communities already facing the greatest barriers to care, including women & girls left without access to #SRH services.

Today seems a great day to mention that I, a climate scientist, am leaving the civil service!

(And no, clearly not top 20 😅)
In February I am joining Oxford University to start up an exciting new research effort in greenhouse gas removals (#GGR #NETs #CDR...). And no doubt other things around #NetZero, science & policy, etc. @TheSmithSchool @oxmartinschool
@TheSmithSchool @oxmartinschool While I am very much looking forward to getting back into academia, it's been a real pleasure working with the climate scientists and others in @beisgovuk (many lurk on Twitter - you know who you are!)
