.@melnakagawa & @Microsoft - Thank you for acknowledging the importance of policy in addressing the climate crisis at the speed and scale required. However, you are still obstructing climate progress through your memberships in big trade associations… (🧵1/5)

This week’s IPCC report reminds us of how much work is left to do in addressing the climate crisis. I’m encouraged by the collaboration and innovation I see every day. From policy to investment in innovations, we all have a role to play on the road to net-zero.

#EffectiveAltruism advocates who say #EA is fine, #SBF was just another high level fraudster are in denial.
This insightful oped explains how/why EA led to this fraud & corporate implosion. Interesting that it comes from a former religious correspondent!

I hope effective altruism learns some serious lessons from the fall of its billionaire bankroller @SBF_FTX.
The FTX scandal should get EA to question its philosophical foundations, not just do a cosmetic makeover.
Here’s 6 reasons for that 🧵

#Omicrom is yet another #PreventableSurprise. Risk reduction should have been the priority. Instead #corporatecapture by #BigPharma - and its intellectual allies - was tolerated. Vaccine manufacturing where it is needed eg Africa has been blocked.

JFC. What the hell
Of course we saw Delta coming
And we saw Omicron coming.
This is NOT surprising and, if it was to the White House, @VP, then you are being advised by the wrong people.
