IPCC's conservative nature masks true scale of action needed to avert catastrophic climate change
Climate models embed colonial attitudes and massive inequality.The Conversation
Here’s the most important take home:
There are *still* so many feasible & effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to #climatechange available right now.
Climate solutions will improve #food, energy & water security, benefit global health, promote equity, conserve biodiversity & boost the economy.

But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.
Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.

The world is interconnected - oceans, food, #climate, energy, health, security, biodiversity & on.
When more of us, all around the world, consider how the pieces fit together & influence each other, we’ll be better equipped to meet global challenges.

Climate change, according to my classes, instigates extreme weather swings, such as freezing winters and scalding summers.
Climate change is real, and "winter is still cold" is NOT AN EXCUSE FOR *YOUR* GODDAMN IGNORANCE
CLIMATE. CHANGE. IS. REAL.
GET THAT IN PEOPLES' HEADS!

Enter cultivated meat, which doesn’t come from a chicken, pig or cow on the farm. Instead it’s grown in a lab directly from animal cells as a more sustainable alternative, requiring less water, fertilizer, land & energy with fewer emissions.
