We call upon our colleagues in the homeland and internationally to support our steadfast attempts to defend and preserve our universities for the sake of the future of our people, and our ability to remain on our Palestinian land in Gaza. We built these universities from tents. And from tents, with the support of our friends, we will rebuild them once again.

“We built these universities from tents. And from tents, with the support of our friends, we will rebuild them once again.”

Open letter from Gaza academics to the world. Damn.

With Africa's carbon sinks up for grabs, offset debate heats up | Context From Kenya to Zimbabwe, swaths of African forest are being locked in carbon offset deals that activists say threaten land rights

"As African countries line up to cash in on the global carbon offset market, concern is growing that the multimillion-dollar deals to keep their forests intact could threaten the land rights and way of life of people who live there"

The looming land grab in Africa for carbon credits Countries might soon be able to trade emission reductions with other governments, but experts warn the market is already being exploited in developing countries

"Scientists have also warned about the broader risk to the planet of giving big polluters a green light to continue pumping oil and gas based on purchases made from the existing unregulated market for credits"

“We are fooling ourselves when we purchase these offsets"

History Decades Centuries Anthropogenic CO2 emissions (GtCO2/yr) If globally we stop emitting CO2 into the atmosphere Atmospheric CO₂ concentrations (ppm) The concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere will gradually decline Heat uptake in the ocean (ZJ/yr) Global surface temperature change (K) ← The ocean will continue to take up heat, but this uptake will slow down and become zero over time The difference in global temperature increase between the time when net zero CO2 emissions are achieved and a specified time in the future is referred to as the ZERO EMISSIONS COMMITMENT (ZEC) ↓ Our current best estimate is that global surface temperature would not increase further - But there is a range of possible temperature change Global sea level rise (m) Meanwhile, some other parts of the Earth system continue to change over multiple centuries in response to the perturbation human activities have caused (e.g. continued sea level rise). Temperature range

"There’s a common misconception that we are committed to decades or centuries more global warming from CO2 already in the atmosphere, no matter what we do now. Happily, current science says this is not true"

I remind myself that people are learning so much right now, and what people are learning matters both for right now, and the years to come. The pedagogy of organizing spaces, the conversations at direct actions, these are generating ways to be in relation beyond what currently feels available to us.

❤️

I walked through this installation, acknowledging the land, for the first time this week. It is an extraordinary feeling to walk in relation to these works, in this specific place. Inspiring and heartening.

This week, I talk to @dreanyc123.bsky.social about organizing, solidarity with Palestine, and why activists cannot defer the work of practicing new worlds. I needed this conversation and I think some of you may need it too. ❤️
