I wish in a few years we could see the same mobilisation for the fight against climate change as what is now happening for Palestine. In a not too distant future, people living in Gaza are certain to have to leave their land because of sea level rise, unless we stop emissions.

I asked @ggrimalda.bsky.social if the villages he visits in Papua New Guinea have refrigeration, while I was thinking through a similar question recently. They generally do not. They catch fish and eat them the same day. About a billion people live at that level. youtu.be/NaD378Rh_ck

I've set off to Bougainville,PNG, for another #NoFly journey. I want to complete my research there. Travelling the ~25,000km distance from Italy by🚢,🚅,&🚌,I'll emit ~10 times less than✈️ (computations to come).Here the long read on my motivations: gianlu777.substack.c...#NoFly1/🧵

Ready for presentation # 16 of my book A Fuoco/Zooming in Soleto, Lecce, on my way to Papua New Guinea no-fly. Happy to talk about my past no-fly travel while the new travel is beginning.

Day 0 of my new #NoFly journey from Italy to Papua New Guinea. Just collected my visa to Russia. I'll cut my CO2 emissions by ~10 & will travel with the hidden majority of the world,those who remain stuck to the ground. I'll complete my research on social cohesion+adaptation to climate change.

In Italy, we call them ‘water bombs’. They are sudden, intense downpours. Last night, 74 mm of rain fell in Rimini, Romagna, in just a few hours. That is equivalent to about one and a half months of rainfall. The wind was blowing at 120 km/h. Video cr: @UnaGiorno 1/6

‘The world is burning, so I embraced civil disobedience.’ Thanks @MargheritaNasi for the in-depth interview in the series ‘I was 20 years old’ for @lemonde.fr. I talk about my journey from being a kid in the suburbs of Milan to university... www.lemonde.fr/campu... 1/6

Has Russia conquered the US? The presidency that putin dreams for Ukraine is like the current US presidency: subdued, obedient, remissive. Press conferences are dictators' monologues and putin is let serenading about Alaska being Russian soil. Extraordinary. #TrumpPutinSummit

In the scorching heat of this summer fourth heatwave in Milan, I walked around @Feltrinelli_ bookshops. I was glad to see my book "A fuoco/Zooming" is still proposed in the "New reads" section after more than 2 months since publication. It's a sign the book is going well. 1/3

‘Struck,’ reads the post in which the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) announces the killing of @aljazeera.com journalist Anas al-Sharif. As if Anas were a character in a video game and his killing permitted the access to the next stage in a "Candy Crush saga". RIP🧵 1/9

I am convinced that non-violent civil resistance is the best way to end the massacre in Gaza, and the brave guys by #StandingTogether @OmdimBeyachad yesterday showed that this may really be the way. That's the vision of the future I want! I am with you! 1/3

Well done guys! The best way to end the massacre in Gaza is through non-violent civil disobedience! I am with you! 🙏👏

“I’ve never spoken to an Arab. I’ve only seen Palestinians from checkpoints monitors. I was in Gaza until 2 weeks ago. In Gaza you turn off your mind and do your job. Or you freak out. But then, you come across Palestinians. And you realize they are just like you. 1/9

A sudden flashflood hit Dharali village in India. This is not an emergency, it's not a new normal, it's something that will get worse until we stop our toxic dependence from fossil fuels & stop meat-consumption-led deforestation. Credit to @weathermonitors for video. 1/2

On 20 June, I was invited in the Italian TV program @CoffeeBreakLa7 with @andrea_pancani @La7tv to talk about my book and comment on the day's news. Here's the extract of my interventions: youtu.be/sePdE-TwATw (in Italian with subtitles in any language). Topics in a🧵 1/11

One of the justifications given by the Israeli government for the siege of Gaza is that Gazans are responsible for Hamas' actions because they voted them into power in 2006 and because they actively support them. Nothing could be further from the truth. 1/11

Excited to join the eco-artivist collective @GREENybastArts! (www.greenybastarts.net/) Art is important to show people the dangers of climate breakdown and explain what we can do about it.

If a madman walks into a bank with a bomb and threatens to blow it up if you don't give him all the money, what do you do? In similar circumstances, cowardly EU yesterday decided to give the money to madman Trump.🧵 1/9

Cara @Agenzia_Entrate, è normale che per allegare un file pdf di 1.7MB alla dichiarazione di successione debba prima richiedere la "validazione" del file e che questo richieda svariate ore? E che poi ci vogliano svariate ore per allegarlo alla dichiarazione di successione? 1/6

What’s the environmental impact of Jeff Bezos's wedding? It can be estimated that at least 2 people will die from heatwaves induced by the wedding carbon footprint, which is equivalent to the average yearly emissions of 1,547 people. Why? 🧵 1/9
