I know a lot of ppl at #COP28. But the thing is, the majority of them aren’t scientists or legislators. They’re also not working on #ClimateChange issues personally.

I can’t help but wonder if the UN #climate summits have become more of an annual festival than a productive dialogue.

According to The Washington Post, there are a record 84,000 attendees in Dubai this year due to “a large influx of business executives & lobbyists.”

Populism could derail the green transition

"Western politicians are scared of a backlash against #ClimateChange policies that have been sold as good for the economy."

#NetZero goals are perceived to be championed by elites while for the ordinary person, the cost of the transition is too high.

In the U.S., recent annual estimates of bird deaths due to:

Cats = 2.4 billion bird deaths

Collisions from building glass = 600 million bird deaths

Land wind turbines = <200,000 bird deaths

Some politicians claim wind turbines “kill all the birds.”

But… they’re not really worried about birds. Rather, they prefer we stick with oil & gas over renewable #energy.

A lot of media outlets are reporting on #ClimateChange this week bc the smoke from wildfires in Canada has settled over highly populated cities in the US.

But climate change is all around us. It’s extreme storms. Severe droughts. Flooding & food insecurity & soaring temps. Insufficient energy infrastructure. The loss of biodiversity & increasing human conflict.

Climate change is everywhere. And we should be talking & reading about it, even when it’s less obvious in the wealthiest nations.

Did you know that soil helps us deal with #ClimateChange? After the ocean, it’s the 2nd largest carbon sink, meaning it stores & releases carbon in ways that regulate the greenhouse effect.

But deforestation, overgrazing, forest fires, intensive farming, construction & more have taken a toll. Today, 1/3 of the world’s soil is degraded, meaning it’s lost some of its ability to support animals & plants bc of physical, chemical or biological changes.

Protecting soils = protecting the planet🪱🌍
