At the minimum, you should factory reset when crossing borders, and restore from an encrypted cloud backup. But the advice he gives is to use an entirely new phone (new number, new IMEI).

He was picked up because his phone number was on a list.

Depends on the border.

See my other comments, but in regards to authoritian regimes, that doesn't go far enough. This isn't buying drugs or breaking into a pipeline construction site. This directly threatening the economy and control of authoritarian nation states that have their economy almost completely reliant on oil that will imprison, torture, or kill someone in their way. Completely different game. World Cup vs your municipal league.

If you are a climate journalist or activist, just stay out of authoritarian places unless you are willing to be tortured or killed. Unless you have CIA/MI6/NSA/GCHQ level skills or whatever your country calls those things, you are in over your head.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
