"In the end, these efforts and other attempts at conservation may prove futile in a world challenged by climate change, habitat loss and swelling numbers of humans."

"If it's in our marshes, it's in our oysters, it's in our fish and it's in our dolphins,"
"And if there is plastic in them, there is plastic in us."
"The financial burden of cleaning up pollution should not be solely on the taxpayers,"

Highly recommended BBC documentary about one of the most pressing issues of our time: #overpopulation. We can't talk about environmental degradation and #climatechange without addressing the main threat for our planet: #humans #BBCHorizon bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

11,000,000 people were killed in the Holocaust. It did not begin with killing, it began with the rhetoric of hate. #HolocaustMemorialDay pic.twitter.com/gK3KTiSqIY

"If Mr. Morrison’s government genuinely believed the science, it would immediately put a price on carbon, declare a moratorium on all new fossil fuel projects and transfer the fossil fuel subsidies to the renewables industries."

Yes, I didn't die young from a whole lot of horrible diseases the vaccines prevented and now I'm older and my joints are getting creaky. Also I've lost a lot of my hair. twitter.com/med1cinewoman/…

Fun, timely article on how we might be dazzled by sexy risks but it's the unsexy ones that we should be paying attention to - even though we really don't want to because they are, well, unsexy. Quoting yours truly so obviously a quality piece of analysis. twitter.com/JoachimKlement…

Have a look at my book chapter in Climate Change Denial and PR (2019), titled "The elephant in the room", there is probably useful stuff for you in there.

If someone's life is a mess we prob wouldn't let them adopt a cat or dog from a shelter. But if they fancied having a baby - a super vulnerable human being - we go, "Sure! You'll have to make the baby, though. It would be crazy to let you adopt one."

Yes, familiar with Steinbeck. Suggest you check out Travis Rieder on the nexus of climate and procreative ethics. See also papers by Murtaugh & Schlax (2009) and by Nicholas & Wynes (2017). The literature is still timid but starting to build up.

I have never said anything like this, nor will I ever say it. It’s never too late to do as much as we can, every fraction of a degree matters. There are of course no magical “dates” for “saving the world”.
I am only quoting the SR1,5 IPCC report on remaining CO2 budgets. twitter.com/wef/status/121…

4 billion is wildly optimistic over the longer term & on a much- damaged planet. We were already inflicting serious damage to the biosphere when the global population was that size in the 1970s, and per capita consumption has risen since.

“But we need a backup planet in case this one is ruined!”
There is virtually nothing we — or the Universe — could do to Earth that would make it less habitable than Mars. Global warming, nuclear winter, extinction-level asteroid... still easier to live in caves here than there.

I think fewer people would be excited about moving to Mars if they knew that they’d have to live in deep, shielded caves and that still might not be enough to save them. Good piece by @caleb_scharf on the hazards of living without a global magnetic field blogs.scientificamerican.com/life-unbounded…

Anyone encouraging a woman or couple to have a child they are not sure they want is doing something immoral and profoundly irresponsible. Like its enablers - misogyny and homophobia - pronatalism is a primitive, toxic meme that no one should put up with, nowhere, never.

It would still be a destructive short-term cash grab if more equally spread out. Economic growth is sacking this planet.
