A ‘doom loop’ of climate change and geopolitical instability is beginning Climate change is driving inflation and instability, which harms climate action. But it’s not too late to escape the doom loop.

This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change.

Must read thread below on the science and muddled discourse of climate "tipping points" from @bobkopp.net @lisgilmore.bsky.social and Rachael Shwom. For more on this, listen to this Shift Key conversation with @drkatemarvel.bsky.social too heatmap.news/podcast/shif... 😜💡

The Conversation About Which Voters Are to 'Blame' Makes Me Want to Stick My Finger Through My Eyeball This is not a morality play, there is no demographic Electoral College, and exit poll data is garbage.

I keep seeing people cite the early exit poll data on voter demographics.

STOP! Do not do this. This data is *garbage* and will remain so until it gets corrected by comparing it to real 2024 results in the next few months. Then we can draw useful lessons from it. www.joshbarro.com/p/the-conver...
