In the “it’s a crazy small world” category. I just FaceTimed my daughter to answer a tech question she’d texted me about yesterday. Caught her hiking up this hill in Gandaki, Nepal.
The connection was remarkably good; only a couple dropouts. Although occasionally there was labored breathing or it would be interrupted by brief interchanges like:
“Stand over there.”
“One sec, Baba. Comstock photos…I’m not standing over there, there’s a spider.”

Mollie’s a sociologist with a couple Masters and a PhD on the way; she specializes in borders, gender, and violence. I have two kickass daughters.

This is the STRONGEST piece of evidence that our individual carbon footprints barely make a dent in the fight against climate change. We stayed inside,didn’t drive, didn’t fly. there wasn’t much of a difference Bc the main culprit of emissions has always been large corporations https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1308423198493609996
Emissions fell during the pandemic. But it won't have any real impact on climate change.
Exclusive data from @climateactiontr shows emissions are still higher than nations promised and much higher than they need to be to limit catastrophic climate change https://cnn.it/36b8Bd9
