Your regular reminder that the fossil fuel industry gets US$11 million/minute in effective subsidies (IMF). That is more than all Governments in the world spend on healthcare. Let’s stop giving polluters $110 billion a week, and fund our health services instead.

Global oil companies are reporting 2022 as their most profitable year in history. Meanwhile, the planet continues to burn as household budgets shrink. We must change course. The only credible direction to take is away from fossil fuels & towards renewable energy.

Astonishing intensity of cold smashing through Canada and Northeast USA right now. Mt. Washington in New Hampshire just recorded a windchill value of -109°F (-78°C), which sets the lowest windchill value ever observed in the USA (including Alaska).

We have deliberately made a long lead in to the application deadline to allow collaborations r.g. across geographies, between industry and academia. We encourage bold proposals for MH awards and are committed to taking risks on potentially game-changing science @wellcometrust

It’s time to face the facts: climate change is happening, and we’re the cause. The impacts are far reaching and out our civilization at risk. But there’s still hope, if we act now. We CAN make a difference!

Stop and think for a moment about this statement. It’s true. From here to that destination is unimaginable violence, in our lifetimes, as our food systems are shaken. Why aren’t there millions of people protesting on the streets?
