If you want to know how the #COP28 UN Climate Change Conference is going, this post says it all...

Powerful footage of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza repeatedly disrupting Secretary of State Antony Blinken's testimony before the U.S.
Senate.

“Not a single phone in Gaza can be reached right now. Israel completely cut off all communications to Gaza. No internet, no landlines. This is a total blackout. Every person you know from Gaza has completely lost contact with their loved ones.

We know what comes next.”

- Hanna Alshaikh

WHO: "Health workers are now facing an agonizing choice: abandon critically ill patients amid a bombing campaign, put their own lives at risk while remaining on site to treat patients, or endanger their patients’ lives while attempting to transport them to facilities that have no capacity to receive them.

Overwhelmingly, caregivers have chosen to stay behind & honor their oaths as health professionals to “do no harm,” rather than risk moving their critically ill patients during evacuations."

Huge storm and flooding in NYC today. This is 4th Ave and Carroll St in Brooklyn, which is near Gowanus Canal, a superfund site.

Reminder: Do not go in the flood waters, it contains pathogens and is a threat to human health.

Every government’s real policy for the climate crisis

"Rather than ceasing our shitf***ery, we tell you your only choice is to adapt to it"

Years on, @thejuicemedia's "Honest Government Ad," made after the Australia fires, remains a brilliant insight into the climate inaction of almost every country.

Some hospitals refusing to mask anymore because they claim people are likely to get #COVID elsewhere anyway. That's a dereliction of duty. Regardless of what is happening elsewhere, no one should ever have to risk their health while seeking medical care. Do no harm.

Great illustration of how astroturf groups and unchecked opinion pieces create doubt in science. Sound familiar?
