@KevinClimate @stevebloom55 @ClimateHuman The conflation of being objective / neutral in our science on one hand, with a perceived obligation neither to have opinions nor be activist is I think a real problem in general. It's a nonsense and a comfort zone that we don't have the luxury of indulging any longer.
I just published my latest article. "Companies Must “Zoom Out” For a Sustainable Planet" Why are so many #CorporateSustainability initiatives turning their backs on the very problems that they hope to solve. @HansLak @KevinClimate

@hairyairey @sadielou01 @GretaThunberg @borisherrmann DON'T FLY HYPOCRITE
Ok I'll sail instead
SAIL BOATS HAVE A BIGGER CARBON FOOTPRINT
I'll just use a single plank of wood to float on
STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES HYPOCRITE
I'll just swim unaided then
OH FANTASTIC, USING UP EXTRA OXYGEN NOW, WHAT AN ECO WARRIOR HYPOCRITE
