1640693528912068609 | @ptr_yeung Oh, yeah, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation were nothing and the 30 Years' War was just a blip: What we're going through now is so much bigger. Beware the hubris of the present tense. | 1 |

1639567621468323845 | @ptr_yeung @CityLab 3. Again instead of preaching, do the right thing and invest in countries like bd & have same expectations as you did during your country’s development journey (adjusted for technological changes). | 0 |
1639613318741757953 | @ptr_yeung @CityLab This trope of many Bangladeshis dying from floods & cyclones every year is repeated by NGOs who wants funding from climate funds & repeated by westerners cause it feeds their predetermined rose tinted views of the world. The facts belie this. | 0 |
1639611749518434305 | @ptr_yeung @CityLab How many people in BD die due to cyclones/floods every year? Do you know that stat has reduced drastically? Bangladesh’s biggest risk from climate is rising water salinity (affecting food crop) than rising water levels. Floods have reduced greatly too. All due to economic dev. | 0 |

1639496079644459008 | Just one ride through Dhaka’s Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue is enough to reveal the severity of air pollution in Bangladesh's capital, says @ptr_yeung in his report for @CityLab.

1639609851268456448 | When Dhaka's metro is complete in 2030, it may help Bangladesh's capital improve its hazardous air quality. But, reports @ptr_yeung, it may well not be enough. https://t.co/GSmoZYxPy3 | 3 |

1639396089882091520 | @ptr_yeung @CityLab I went to the back & beyond of China & thought that was bad - always yellow sky, no sun and everything covered in white dust. Even the piles of cabbages they were planning to eat over winter. Travelling & seeing it in real life makes all these seemingly distant things real. | 2 |
