1/13 #ClimateChange is a result of a mindset, that is based on monoculture, fossil fuels, chemicals, corporate control. @BillGates cannot alter a condition with the same mindset that created it in the first place @Trevornoah @drvandanashiva

The UK government's climate advisory body is launching its next carbon budget: basically, outlining what the UK can emit between 2033 and 2037. It's a big deal - launch video starting right now.
Watch along:
Will tweet along snippets. Pretty relevant to...............everything, really. #UKCarbonBudget
"Instead of being just a budget, it's a pathway we have to tread to reach net zero in 2050" @lorddeben
Just like quite a few other modelling exercises, CCC use a spectrum between behaviour change and between technological change. #UKCarbonBudget.
Both = best (just like @AEMO_Media's Step Change scenario in their ISP)
'Balanced' is what they use for their recs. "We're doing 60% of the emissions reductions in the first 15 years, and then 40% in the next".
The slinky kitty curve....good to see. No evidence of delaying action to Dec 29 2049, here. #UKCarbonBudget
"By front loading, we're minimising the UK's contribution to cumulative emissions" - really important point. A slow path to net zero - more climate harm than a fast one. #UKCarbonBudget
Watch along:
Just 15 mins until the launch event for our new advice to Government on the Sixth Carbon Budget. If you haven\u2019t registered, you can watch live on YouTube from 10am. Link: https://t.co/PjlcIDSYEC #UKCarbonBudget pic.twitter.com/1zOTfmxDVp

I previously 👇 documented 20 mechanisms through which climate change is 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 disrupting food production.
Below I am adding to the list including several newly documented mechanisms.
*thread*
Several primary impacts relate to altered soil & plant chemistry & biology:
1. Disruption of the phosphorous cycle - the second most vital element for plants after nitrogen
2. Decreased content of key nutrients in major
3. Reduced chill hours required for many plants to bloom normally in the
Other additional primary impacts include:
4. Fossil fuel pollution impacts on crops - this is not a result of climate change per se, but is included since it is due to the same root cause (fossil fuel use):

The forests of Russia, Mongolia, Canada, Scandinavia and the US will experience unprecedented destructive heat by 2029 with staggering consequences for life on Earth.
Feedback loops created by permafrost melt & wildfire destruction represent just a few of the terrifying effects of climate change on boreal forest ecosystems, which are particularly at risk to rising temperatures. ⚠️🔥

Massive wildfires are already here.
More forest fires are burning in the Arctic in recent years than any time in the last 10,000 years.
🔺these massive arctic fires are showing worrying signs of becoming a vicious cycle
Wildfire-related carbon releases from permafrost regions will quadruple within decades.
Arctic wildfires, impacted by global warming, are in turn contributing to more climate breakdown.
🔺An increase in boreal & tundra fires in the future will enhance permafrost thawing.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

Neo-nazi group #PatriotFront held a photo op in #Chicago last weekend & is currently marching around #DC so it's as good time as any to compile a list of their identified members for folks to watch for
Who are these chuds?
Patriot Front broke away from white nationalist org Vanguard America following #unitetheright in #charlottesville after James Alex Fields was seen with a VA shield before driving his car into a crowd, murdering Heather Heyer & injuring dozens of others
Syed Robbie Javid a.k.a. Sayed Robbie Javid or Robbie Javid of Alexandria,
Antoine Bernard Renard (a.k.a. “Charlemagne MD” on Discord) from Rockville, MD.

Happy Monday everyone :-) Let's ring in September by reacquainting ourselves with Virginia neo-Nazi and NSC Dixie affiliate Sayed "Robbie" Javid, now known by "Reform the States". Robbie is an explicitly genocidal neo-Nazi, so lets get to know him a bit better!
