Looking for the latest climate information on a specific topic or for a certain region? There are many fantastic webinar series (both live and recorded) that are free and available! Here are four of my favourites (see thread):
1/ The regional US Climate Science Adaptation Centers (I'm part of the South Central one!) have a webinar series called "Science You Can Use". It focuses on ecosystems, forests, birds, fish, and more. Sign up for live events + view past recordings here: casc.usgs.gov/webinars
2/ The @NOAA Science Seminar Series tackles everything from the well-being of sponges in the Florida Keys to the latest advances in weather prediction. See what's up next and sign up for their mailing list here: nodc.noaa.gov/seminars/

Here’s 3 myths the US president believes...and our Global Weirding episode that tackles each one (thread). Other countries including China know the truth and will capitalize financially if we don’t come to our senses. It’s sixth-grade science! ... (thread)
Myth 1: climate change is a hoax and those scientists are always changing their minds.
Truth:
Myth 2: climate is weather, and one cold day or week disproves decades of warming
Truth:

When it comes to what climate goals we should be aiming for, there are a lot of "magic numbers" floating around - 2 degrees, 12 years, 350ppm, net zero emissions, and more. Here's a short thread explaining the scientific basis--or lack thereof--for each.
The very first (and still relevant) goal was expressed in the @UNFCCC. It was drafted at the Earth Summit in Rio and adopted in May 1992. It calls for "stabilizing atmospheric CO2 [in ppm] to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system." Here is the full text:
Since then, there have been 24 "Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC" or COP mtgs. The most recent was in Katowice, Poland. The next is in Santiago, Chile. COPs are not scientific mtgs: they are primarily attended by formal delegations from each nation that's a party to the UNFCCC

Medications cost too much. They should cost less. But how much less?

"How should drug prices be set" turns out to be a really difficult question, but one that's incredibly important to the patient community. The experts I've reached out to don't want to talk, so here I am...
The thing is, the kind of 'cost-effectiveness analysis' that's become the default methodology is intensely ableist.
Profoundly ableist.
Light it on fire and shoot it into space ableist.
And well meaning people, advocates who are working at all levels of government to lower pharma prices, are going to enshrine this ableism into law unless we offer them an alternative.

Please check out a new interactive table from @ColumbiaUEnergy on the compatibility of a federal carbon tax with other policies that address emissions. And here’s a short thread to explain (1/x):
energypolicy.columbia.edu/compatibility-…
Start with these three statements:

1. The price on carbon should be far larger than zero.
2. A carbon price alone is not an ideal climate policy.
3. Some policies fit better alongside a carbon price than others.

Even on twitter, these are uncontroversial, right?
…And they naturally lead to the questions: which new policies should be added when a carbon tax is implemented, and what existing policies should be changed or eliminated?

The sea otter is the heaviest member of the weasel family but is still one of the smallest marine mammals.

Known primarily for being cute and holding paws, sea otters are endangered due to hunting: seaotters.com

By popular demand it's a thread of the best Mustelids!
I did previously spotlight the best weasels but this time we're looking at the WHOLE family 😊

Like the Sunda and Palawan stink badgers who spend their nights digging for grubs with the protection of their noxious butts.

The least weasel is both the smallest member of the family and the smallest of all carnivores.

As smol as only 11cm (minus tail) and 29g light, the least weasel can easily fit through the ring on your finger.

You must remember that the secret to all of this is not to be afraid of fear. When you can really allow yourself to be afraid, and you don't resist the experience of fear, you are truly beginning to master fear.

1) It is time for a Revival of Entertainment, something we all know and love. Something that has been lost for a while. We see how well @Marvel is doing with it's @netflix shows, well @Hasbro is sitting on a gold mine with GI JOE. I have written a series that would bring it
2) Back!! We should be honoring our #Vets and Service men and women with shows that would make the youth proud of where they are from. I loved rooting for GI JOE, and the show was a sense of enjoyment, it brought about leadership, & everyone worked for a common goal to end evil
3) I propose a series to it's rebirth, live action. GI JOE can no longer be it's own military unit as we have the @USNavy , @USMC , @usairforce , @USArmy , @NationalGuard , @uscoastguard and reserves - so my show would start off with GI JOE ALPHA a new small group that is a
