Pandemic Lesson 1: The moment an "emergency" is declared, the first essential commodity in short supply is equity and social justice. Climate "emergency" will be no better. @3rdworldnetwork @n_thanki @nit_set @boseindrajit @ClimateJustInfo
Pandemic Lesson 2: Arriving at a "civilisational moment" does not imply that the world realises this, or that it reacts in a civilised way. @3rdworldnetwork @n_thanki @nit_set @boseindrajit @ClimateJustInfo
Pandemic Lesson 3: It is difficult to imagine a world more ill-placed to confront the challenge of a lifetime for humanity today. Authoritarian leaders, bewildered thought leaders, movements beaten into retreat. @3rdworldnetwork @n_thanki @nit_set @boseindrajit @ClimateJustInfo
Pandemic Lesson 4: Climate action enthusiasts who celebrate the clean air of lockdowns will also be supporters of authoritarian climate solutions. @3rdworldnetwork @n_thanki @nit_set @boseindrajit @ClimateJustInfo

[𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗] Documenting your #pandemic experience.

I had a great former student contact me asking how they could document their experience for future historians and it led me to think about that. I am sure that @UkNatArchives and @USNatArchives can add ideas!
First, ANYTHING you do to document literally ANY aspect of your experience will be helpful to future scholars studying this event.

Don't add to your own stress by thinking that you have to capture everything. If you choose to document, just start and you can + or - later.
Second, consider the format. We have access to a ton of digital information and ways to record our lives. However, it's still unclear to what extent those things will be accessible in 20-30 years. Hard copies will always be a useful source. Think about hand writing or

If you’ve been watching my twitter stream recently, you may have noticed this but today’s a good day to be explicit: As someone who’s worked on the #climate crisis at the international, national and local levels for 15 years, I’m proud to be a climate leader #WithWarren. (🧵)
I spend my life fighting for climate justice and I’m absolutely convinced that a President @ewarren would work tirelessly to bring the big, structural change we need to address this climate crisis. Here are a few of the many reasons why I’m proud to be #WithWarren:
.@ewarren understands that corruption lies at the center the climate crisis. That’s why she was the first declared Presidential candidate to sign the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge and is ready to stand up to the out-of-control fossil fuel industry.

THREAD: In a new study in @nature we present a way to avoid the bias that burdens future generations and the risky strategies that current #climate change mitigation pathways suffer from.

A #climatetwitter explainer

#Fridays4Future #ClimateStrike #ParisAgreement

(1/n)
Existing #ClimateChange scenarios focus on reaching a target in 2100

but by doing so weirdly suggest that the best way to achieve a #climate target is to delay action first, miss it over the next decades, and then to try to make up for it later

(2/n)
This puts put a disproportionate burden on future generations, who:
-will suffer higher #climate impacts in their lives
-are burdened with later cleaning up the mess by actively pulling #CO2 out of the air

This strategy is very risky and can be avoided

Going to read “The Right Side of History”. This will be some mixture of enlightening, been there done that, and hate-read dunkathon. Let’s see.

No idea what Shapiro’s background is outside trolling libs, but I maybe he’s sort of Straussian? The ‘Jerusalem plus Athens’ thing.
So the thesis is ‘things have never been better, but we’re fucking it up now.’ Pinker + angst.
‘We’ in the book is Americans, natch.
