NEW ARTICLE of mine on some of William MacAskill's outrageous claims about climate change in "What We Owe the Future." It's in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Let's take a quick look at what I write. A short 🧵: thebulletin.org/2022/11/what…

BREAKING: Pharma corporations won at the @WTO. A newly-brokered deal protects the profits of Big Pharma corporations based in rich countries rather than break patents and make medicines available to all. This is multilateralism for the rich, and medical apartheid for the poor.
