Many tech bros and VCs pitch their shiny high-tech gagdgets that are posing as “climate solutions.” Things like fusion, direct air capture, and so on… But they don't work as climate solutions. Instead, we should use Occam’s Razor and find the things that work. globalecoguy.org/occams-razor...

The abrupt cancellation of #NIH study sections is deeply concerning. These panels fund over 60K grants annually, supporting 300K+ researchers at 2500+ institutions. Pausing funding risks losing talent and expertise, with devastating ripple effects on science and public health. #ScienceMatters 🧪

AUKUS will cost $375 billion. That is a crazy amount of money. If the Govt. was to pay $1 million every day, it would take over 1000 years to get $375 billion. Think of all the things that need $1 million: your local school or hospital. The government decided to spend it on nuclear subs instead.

Every fraction of a degree of warming matters. This is what 1.5°C of warming looks like: more heatwaves, more extreme weather, more air pollution, and more threats to our health. As doctors, we are seeing firsthand how climate change is already harming the health and well-being of our patients. 🧵
