You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it

What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking poi

"For those who have been following Gates on climate for some time, his so-called sudden “pivot” isn’t really a “pivot” at all. It’s a logical consequence of the misguided path he’s been headed down for well over a decade.

"Here’s the thing… There is no “patch” for the #climatecrisis. And there is no way to reboot the planet if you crash it. The only safe and reliable way out when you find yourself in a climate hole is to stop digging—and burning—#fossilfuels."

The forces behind the dangerous anti-science movement

In their new book, "Science Under Siege," Peter Hotez and Michael Mann reveal the main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrost

"On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, prominent climate scientist Michael Mann… and Peter Hotez reveal the forces behind the dangerous anti-science movement, including plutocrats, libertarian tech entrepreneurs, and petrostates.

"Carbon emissions must now drop precipitously, around 10%, every year … Indeed, with emissions failing to drop now for years in a row, that strict goal might soon be off the table, and we’ll have to move the target to keeping pollution as low as possible while adapting to the damage we’ve failed to prevent.

There is simply no other choice in the face of our climate reality, no matter how much the incoming U.S. administration tries to deny it."
