A very good 🧵. It illustrates a major reason why I have disengaged from this site.
Can we. just accept that we suck at this? . I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton.

After 2 missed landing approaches at Changi (most likely due to crosswinds), my flight #EK354 headed north and landed in Kuala Lumpur. Now awaiting a gate to refuel but pax all need to use the toilets! So near but so far from home.

After some sleep, I should correct that the official final day at P-60 was around 26 hours with meetings, contact groups, huddles, and plenaries all in a row (but it sure as hell felt like 30).

In this case, "extraordinary" is an understatement. The final session was about 30 hours long for most of us involved in developing the programme of work. And many kudos to the @IISD_ENB team for documenting the meeting. 🙏.
After extraordinary efforts to reach consensus, the #IPCC has agreed to a programme of work and successfully concluded its first substantive meeting of its seventh assessment cycle.

Perfectly timed during the @IPCC_CH P-60 meeting. I wrote about how risks arising from extreme heat + urban heat leads to undesirable outcomes, so what can urban policymakers - especially in tropical cities - do to reduce these risks?.
Extreme heat associated risks are getting complicated with rapidly developing settlements in the tropics. How can urban policymakers successfully manage these risks? Read the new Commentary by @winstontlchow @sgSMU
