Besides being racist and false, this suggests science is only carried out by a few geniuses who claim prizes, whereas in reality science relies on smart and diligent people committed to collaboration and discovery without special recognition.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Humanity's destiny is to regain our place within a balanced and sustainable biosphere, to stop our destruction, pollution, and extraction, and to finally become effective caretakers of the unique and complex interrelated systems that make life in this vast, cold universe possible.
Absolutely not. Humans evolved to live on Earth and there’s no other place that has the right amount of everything we need, like climate, liquid water, mix of oxygen and non-toxic gases in the atmosphere, magnetic field, gravity, puppies, kittens, etc.

Taking out the non native Sitka, Douglas Fir etc allows our native trees oak, birch, hazel, Scots pine to have more light and nutrients.. Here at the Wildwood we are trying to protect, restore and expand this ancient wee native woodland. If you would like to help there is a link in our bio. ♥️🌳🏴

This Guardian article makes it clear that Rosebank and Jackdaw are losers, but heat pumps and warm home insulation programs are winners. Plus that you can't trust the numbers the fossil fuel industry cooks up. It's what everybody who can do arithmetic has been saying, but is Burnham listening?
New research from E3G out today once again showing that getting off fossil fuels lowers bills and improves quality of life www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Insulating homes and investing in heat pumps would be more effective in reducing living costs, creating jobs, and boosting the economy than drilling for new oil.

The world is set to exceed 1.5°C of warming. Even if the temperature comes back down, the 🌎 may never be quite the same. But we must not abandon the 1.5°C goal. The higher & longer the global temperature rise, the greater the risks. UNEP's Martin Krause explains: https://bit.ly/3TVOISA

I had to make the same decision when I got an offer for Wooing the Witch Queen from a Russian publisher on the condition that Saskia & Ailana would be rewritten as straight. As someone who makes her living through writing, it hurts to turn down $ for food and bills, but I couldn't say yes to that.
Have had that horrible experience of being asked to change the briefest paragraph in one of my books so a particular foreign publisher could avoid arrest in that country’s massive LGBTQ+ crackdown. I had to decline and therefore not be published - you don’t negotiate with tyrants - but what a world.

Very few people study air-water gas exchange, which determines how quickly the ocean takes up atmospheric CO₂. But because of marine CO₂ removal, everyone is throwing the term "gas exchange" around. So here's everyone's chance to attend a gas exchange meeting to learn and share. www.gtws2027.se

"St Trinian’s meets the legend of Faust" in @genevievecogman.bsky.social's brand new, and very entertaining, A Scholar's Guide to Demonology & Other Dark Arts, in which a slightly unprepared Phil takes on the role of Latin mistress at an unusual, windswept school on the Yorkshire moors... 💙📚🪐 #SFF
