.@melnakagawa & @Microsoft - Thank you for acknowledging the importance of policy in addressing the climate crisis at the speed and scale required. However, you are still obstructing climate progress through your memberships in big trade associations… (🧵1/5)

#EffectiveAltruism advocates who say #EA is fine, #SBF was just another high level fraudster are in denial.
This insightful oped explains how/why EA led to this fraud & corporate implosion. Interesting that it comes from a former religious correspondent!

I hope effective altruism learns some serious lessons from the fall of its billionaire bankroller @SBF_FTX.
The FTX scandal should get EA to question its philosophical foundations, not just do a cosmetic makeover.
Here’s 6 reasons for that 🧵

“So long as there are investments, we will need to give thought to responsibility, from investors, the companies they invest in & the regulatory model that sets the rule for how markets work,” write Michael Musuraca and @Jerome_Tagger of @PreventableS.

#Omicrom is yet another #PreventableSurprise. Risk reduction should have been the priority. Instead #corporatecapture by #BigPharma - and its intellectual allies - was tolerated. Vaccine manufacturing where it is needed eg Africa has been blocked.
@michaelmina_lab @David_McNair
JFC. What the hell
Of course we saw Delta coming
And we saw Omicron coming.
This is NOT surprising and, if it was to the White House, @VP, then you are being advised by the wrong people.

WOW. After our @CleanCreatives expose, the CEO of the world’s largest PR firm, @EdelmanPR, is defending its work with ExxonMobil saying that Exxon *isn’t* lobbying against climate action.

Dear @BBCNews: this phrase, used in several recent articles, is not a fair representation of the science on extremes.
”Experts say that climate change is expected to increase the frequency of extreme weather events, but linking any single event to global warming is complicated.”

Despite lip service in support of a mandatory
due diligence law, many corporations seek to make
it toothless by restricting or even banning strong liability provisions and access to courts for victims
