BREAKING: Yesterday, @cppinvestments marked Earth Day by committing US$300 million to fracking expansion in Ohio, making a mockery of CPPIB’s net-zero emissions commitment.

This #COP28 is historic - and the decisions should match that, says @catabreu_.
ALT In eight years of attending UN climate talks, I could not have imagined seeing the conversations that we have seen here on the need to accelerate the pace and scale of the move away from fossil fuel production and consumption and replace that with renewable energy. What this cop needs to do is to effectively capture the whole historic conversation in a historic decision.

UN climate talks have been discussing emissions for 30 years. Guess what? Emissions higher than ever. 2023 the hottest year on record. We feel the results of talking about emissions w/out talking about their source.#COP28 must be the COP to directly name the problem:fossil fuels.

I cannot POSSIBLY be any clearer (as someone who worked in IT managing some of this country's biggest databases)
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE PROVIDE PICTURES OF THEIR PASSPORTS OR DRIVING LICENCES
ESPECIALLY NOT
to databases outside the GDPR
THREAD:
X will begin to have users verify their identity by having them submit a selfie alongside a government issued ID. The process requires users to consent to X storing their information for 30 days and sharing it with AU10TIX, an identity verification company based in Israel.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
ID verification is going to be an optional layer of verification for X Blue users. This is not going to affect non-Blue users in any way.

Just a planet, standing in front of world leaders, asking them to stop fossil fuels. 🥵👉👈

What a huge load of spin from the OECD.
The key question here is:
“Should the public be allowed to see how much corporations pay in tax in each country?”
The OECD says no. Twisting that into a claim that they are promoting transparency is just outrageous. #TaxJustice 🧵1/5

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

Shell announces it’ll wind down renewables and ramp up oil and gas as it wrestles with poor returns from renewables while oil/gas profits are booming. These companies need to be made nonfunctional from production to consumption. They need to be the target! ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/ex…

Storytime: For years there was a family of kids who would walk to my library. We knew things were rough at home and we tried to create a safe, validating, fun place for them (like so many others.) There were about 8 cousins, siblings, half-sibs, ages 5 to 16. Then lockdown hit.

I always have mixed feelings on the phenomenon of mainstream media outlets doing big food bank drives this time of year.
On the one hand: props to all of you in journalism who take the time to do this important work to help folks who need it this time of year.

We are hearing from our friends on the ground at #COP27 that Canada is refusing to join the calls of India, the US, the EU and others to include "fossil fuel phase out" in the final COP27 text.
Shame! 😡
@JustinTrudeau @s_guilbeault, now is the time to be brave!

Isn't protecting our children a good reason to wear masks😷again? When #COVID19 first hit, we wore masks to protect our grandparents. Kids deserve the same consideration, by @AllisonHanes montrealgazette.com/opinion/… via @mtlgazette
