Why do I feel like the Pied Piper is now an AI bot, funded by the sale of our data, fuelled by coal, and infected with covid?

Neat little equation showing how pressures need to line up to create a climate of truth. Presented by @mikebernerslee.bsky.social and @jennifernadel at the Truth in Politics show in #Oxford last night #Trust #Politics

@mikebernerslee.bsky.social Thanks for your wonderful A Climate of Truth book ❤️
A great follow up to There Is No Planet B.
So much info.
Essential curriculum for everyone.

Well, shit.

Sometimes I feel like we're in the scene in Apollo 13 where someone asks Gene Kransz as the crew are returning to Earth, Are we gonna tell them about the heat shield?
GK: Can we do anything about it?
Other: No.
GK: Then they don't need to know.

It's going to be a bumpy ride.

One of the most effective things you can do right now to fight Trump and ICE is to cancel your ChatGPT subscription.

The first time a fishkill happened: OMG that's horrific!

Now: just par for the climate disaster course.

It can get in line behind the SA algal bloom, Vic fires, Qld floods and the all country heatwave.

Sigh

Just reading it now in Australia.
I love it.

I find community in your post.
Thats why we do it, knowing there are others out there that care too ❤️

Go well 🙏
I'll follow you 🏆

Teacher wearing FFP3 mask. Behind him is graffiti.

I teach. We should be adventurous with our vocabulary.

We are not “post-Covid”. “During COVID” is boring & misleading.

“She stood firm amid the chaos.”
“They found calm amid the turmoil.”
“Amid fears of further attacks, he persisted.”

What do you do amid COVID?

It's always that way.
But Greens still perform the same action as the libs.
I was a member of the Greens once. It saddens me.

"Greens join Coalition"
Where have I heard that before?
Over and over again, unfortunately.

Unless I go outside in full gear, something always bites me.

SA ecologist resigns from algal bloom panels, citing government's 'adversarial' approach South Australian ecologist Dr Faith Coleman has resigned from two state government algal bloom panels and criticised the state government's approach.

My thoughts on Sussan Ley’s erratic outburst today. Ian

A good news story ❤️

Why is abc news weather saying 37 for Adelaide on Christmas Day, but the bom is saying 25????
A bit of a difference!!!!

Call your MP and complain.
And DON'T give anyone your ID

Well done, Dave.
Great insight.

Ever heard of the World Health Organisation?
Get your facts straight.

Post pandemic????
Which pandemic are you talking about?
Swine flu? Hong Kong flu?

Because THE COVID PANDEMIC IS STILL ONGOING.

It has not been declared over.
People are still dying & getting long covid, other diseases are being triggered by covid, there is no sterilising vaccine.
Educate yourself!

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

The under-16s social media ban will damage young people’s political education. Teachers need better support We know that Australian children’s civics education is at an all-time low. The government’s social media ban may make this worse.

Record drop for Australia's emissions. What's working and what isn't? Australia's emissions had the biggest drop ever this year outside the artificial kink in the curve during COVID-19 shutdowns, but there's still a lot of work to do.

More good news.
Fingers crossed🤞for 2035 & 2050

Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.
