We are witnessing a tipping point. Boreal forests that stored carbon for 1000s of years are now CARBON EMITTERS. Heatwaves make wildfires. Wildfires make more heat. More heat makes more fires. This feedback loop is what scientists warned you about.

Heathrow and Kew have both now reached 35°C. To give you an idea of how extreme a weather event this is, 35°C has only ever been reached on 4 days in June (26-29th). Once in 1957, and 3 of those were in one year, 1976.

Please don’t put out hair for bird nests. Chicks get entangled in hair balls. Just had to cut hair strands that were tying 3 blue tit chicks together, and wrapped round the throat of one skinny chick that couldn’t swallow food. Hopefully saved in time 🤞

I think this is a better way of going about the disparity between the reaction of media and politics when victims of hate crimes are Jewish versus when they are part of other minorities. It holds the mirror up to those in power and not to the Jewish communities which are not at fault.

GiveDirectly has sent $1 billion in cash directly to people in extreme poverty. Their model has no middle man and study after study shows it works. Any billionaire could call them tomorrow and help pull an entire country out of poverty. For some, it would cost about a year in the stock market.
