Swiss corporate fascism, a story in 3 acts.
Act 1: @Renovate_CH imitate logo of Swiss soft drink brand #Rivella on their banners.
Act 2: Swiss influencer #Rezi posts video where he runs over @Renovate_CH protesters.
Act 3: #Rivella hires #Rezi as their poster boy.
Please take a minute to tell #Rivella what you think of their hiring someone who threatens murder against non-violent protestors as the face of their brand.

In case you think these are funny or empty threats, here is a video of a truck trying to run over myself and and two other @Renovate_CH activists during an action. Hilarious, obviously. 😬😬😬
Although this *is* funny: Rivella touting "sustainability" in their sponsorship and company ethics on their main site. At this point, given their support of death threats against climate activists, it's not just greenwashing but brown(shirt)washing.

There are bigger issues, and starting academic fights is always ugh, but this paper arguing population has nothing to do with biodiversity loss is honestly not convincing. For one thing, figure 1A should have been enough for a rejection 🤯🤯🤯.
doi.org/10.1016/j.bioc…
It compares extensive (pop) indicator with intensive (ecol. footprint per capita) and finds ... no correlation. I teach undergrads not to make this basic mistake 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Fig. 1B is not much better, since for these indicators, log-log fits are indicated, often saturation.
See this paper for more info on what fits work best. And listen: most environmental impacts are a combination of population and GDP and other stuff. Some are FAR more aligned to GDP (fossil fuels, minerals, CO2 emissions). sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Poll time! Sadly. Question: has @paulkrugman 's dreadful science-free column in the @nytimes on green growth been debunked sufficiently already #outhere?
1. Yes, go on with your life, we're good.
2. No, you need to take time out of your first semester day to crush it to bits.

2 things (trying to stay off hellsite)
1. if you spend more on #ValentinesDay date/gifts than you gave to earthquake victims, you are officially a bad person. In this case, I'm happy to make the rules. Here is the White Helmet @SyriaCivilDef donation site.

2. I have a research question, brought on by @GhoshAmitav 's writing on health impacts of colonialism & 'terraforming' on indigenous populations. Does anyone know of research on pre-colonial demographics: ...
life expectancy, health, infant mortality...?
My guess is that these would be highly variable, depending on geographic & social circumstances, but likely *better* than during colonialism.
The current datasets we use all show the benefits of modern infrastructure (incl health)...

Idly wondering how the volume of German-speaking press interest in a couple of climate activists moving to Thailand compares to their interest in the planetary criminality of the finance, fossil fuel & automotive industries.
🤔🤔🤔
Jk hahaha not wondering at all, I know they would MUCH rather write about a couple of kids taking a plane and how it's a scandal and you have to be perfect to care about the climate than do any kind of investigative work into any actual wrongdoing at any scale.
And yes, I've had interview requests about this nonsense.

Fossil fuel companies acting like colonial overlords and getting their opponents persecuted and jailed, the @TotalEnergies #EACOP version. Solidarity with Joss Mugisa and all Ugandan activists against @TotalEnergies . #StopEACOP
This is a pattern, with the Ugandan state, supported by the French government @FrenchEmbassyUg (remember @TotalEnergies is France's largest company!), arresting Ugandans who dare to criticize #EACOP . Activist @BarigyeBob1 is still arrested as well.
Photograph from @aifeuganda . Follow @BarigyeBob1 @IMariashikongo @aifeuganda @stopEACOP and #StopEACOP hashtag to keep spotlight on neocolonialism and destruction of @TotalEnergies .

This story can seem a bit complex so let's cut to the chase: the UK govt's refusal to invest a few million £££ into care homes for children refugees has led to HUNDREDS of children refugees being kidnapped into drug gangs & slavery upon arrival in the UK.
theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j…
Excuse me if I take this personally: this is a photograph of my father, a child refugee of the same age as these children, in the home of the family who took him in when he arrived in the USA. He went on to get an education, a family, a life (oh yes and a Nobel Prize in Physics).
This hope and promise and humanity is what the UK Home Office @ukhomeoffice is condemning to the worse extremities of servitude, violence and forced criminality. When these kids are caught dealing drugs, they'll be deported without a question. And all this because the UK govt ...
