How it started, how it's going. 🤡
If the blueticks can please all make up their mind. Are you serious about stopping climate breakdown and a raging pandemic or nah. If yes, you all need to think a lot harder.
Hi all: here your integrated climate and COVID policy advice. We (1) identify the highest-leverage points available to you; (2) explain them in language anyone can understand; but cannot (3) make you change. (><) That's your job. ht #Klimaum9 @RealTadzioM.
Smart comments, so I'll add my slightly more complete view: it's a transitory phase, if we are smart, towards twitter (or its successor) as a non-commercial, global commons optimized for learning rather than earning.

THE Rasmussen, of questionable twitter fame + media presence who has been fatally wrong on EVERY major pandemic question since the start? - Note, you won't find it in her CV but if there's anything, it would be Aug/Sep, not Nov, 2019. - I know nothing about this, but interesting. ImageImageImageImage
If anyone sees anything interesting. - This is just some anonymous online comment that may easily get some accounts (=us) suspended, but AR either has gross personality problems - then her media presence would be inappropriate -, or competency problems - unlikely, look at her CV! ImageImage
If it's not competency or personality, then it's bad faith. Nothing explains the flawed zoonati papers in A+ journals. Millions of lives are at stake everyone, this is no game. The correct frame is: we see obstruction of justice by virologists and editors. angelarasmussen.org/about ImageImage

(1) Use the same handle to ease the transition to mastodon for people (mastodon.social/@_ppmv). (2) Couple of screenshots here and in next tweet to easy any anxiety about change. Thanks to @W_Lucht for making this point. Image
(3) You now have not one (1) but two (2) fantastic social networks to learn from smart people, ask powerful people sharp questions in public, laugh at billionaires, do oppo research, and not get any work done despite staring at a screen. It's going great. ImageImage
(4) Check out @RealTadzioM's newsletter and hashtag #Klimaum9 for smart climate content of the inconvenient art. Allons-nous @AufstandLastGen

We call them Gen S, for Generation Sacrifice. 😭 1/k
As Chris says, this is really bad, including for breeding powerful new variants of concern VoC.

So even if you don’t care about children, you will probably learn to care sooner or later. 2/k
I hope everyone understands what this means. 3/k

Your essential #COP27 guide thanks to @n_thanki 🙏
@n_thanki Part 2, here IPCC author @schipper_lisa. If the IPCC, whom I applaud but criticize for their excessive methodological optimism*, calls you out, that's a clear sign my friends. We're moving from the Now to the Never stage

* @bberwyn insideclimatenews.org/news/05042022/…
@n_thanki @schipper_lisa @bberwyn Trust is so great that diplomats are using burner phones as CI.

This exchange continues to deliver 😘
China is currently on the major player in the pandemic - either has given up on zero covid strategy as reduced PCR testing 核酸检测 may suggest, conducts a limited experiment, or is genuinely struggling to uphold 清零. Could have profound consequences. 1/k
This is why we emphasized mental models and positive feedback from the start (best: @fitterhappierAJ). In failing to learn fast, most experts set themselves and the public they advised up for failure.
