Global sales of electric cars continue to break records 🚘 In 2024, 1 in 5 cars sold worldwide was electric. In 2025, it's set to be more than 1 in 4. Total electric car sales are on track to exceed 20 million this year despite economic uncertainties → iea.li/4mfHty3

OK met alles van wat we inmiddels gewend zijn van dit kabinet sla ik hier toch wel weer steil van achterover: ambtsberichten worden niet meer openbaar gemaakt. Compleet bezopen. app.1848.nl/document/tka...

Terechte oproep van hoofdredacteur Pieter Klok dat grote steden overgaan tot economische sancties tegen Israël.

Duizenden mensen betogen in Den Haag tegen Israël-standpunt kabinet

Picture from The Hague, where tens of thousands protest Dutch government policy towards Israel.

Solidarity from climate activists (who had a weekend together) with those protesting Dutch government military and political support for Israel in The Hague today.

He prioritises his fossil fuel friends in the Gulf and the US over football’s interests.

🛢️🥵 Next year's World Cup will be a climate disaster. 1. 48 teams, 16 cities, 104 matches ✈️ 2. Saudi Aramco sponsor deal 🛢️ 3. Extreme heat and other climate risks 🥵 We gathered all relevant info here: www.fossilfreefootball.org/2025/05/14/2...

Video from Riyadh. Gianni Infantino is asked to stand up for a round of applause by fellow (future) Qatari private jet user Trump. He's being applauded by the Gulf state leaders who give FIFA all the money they want, in exchange for full promotion of their fossil fuels (Saudi Aramco, Qatar Airways).

Fossil fuel friends. Football deserves better.

Trump ally, FIFA president Gianni Infantino, also flies in a Qatar linked private jet. They’ll be together in Qatar and neighbouring countries Saudi and UAE for Trump’s visit there this week. No idea what business FIFA president has to be part of delegation. But there you go.

You have to read this a few times to realise what the hell is going on. The president of the international football association, who should be busy running football, reschedules a meeting on football to join a trip of a fossil-fuel funded leader (Trump) to his fossil fuel friends in the Gulf.

🛢️ Big Oil & the plastics industry are peddling "advanced recycling" as a fix for the plastic waste crisis, but @climateintegrity.org 's new report shows it’s just their latest deception. Chemical recycling isn’t new, isn’t working at scale & won’t solve plastic pollution.

Wat zijn veel van onze politici toch dom en kortzichtig..

It’s time for an EU military intervention to break the criminal Israeli blockade and deliver food to the people of Gaza.

London to Paris is less than 2.5 hours by train. There's 15 a day 🚄 Arsenal still chose to fly and show off the private plane to their 30m IG followers...🤦‍♂️

Hoekstra faalt en we zullen er allemaal de negatieve gevolgen van ervaren.

The cottagecore, romantic path to starvation and environmental breakdown. This week's column is on the latest delusions about how we might produce our food. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Lamine Yamal’s popularity is used to sell very polluting flights. It shouldn’t be. www.linkedin.com/posts/frankh...

Still annoyed that UEFA hates our future so much that it partners with a fossil fuel country airline. #INTBAR

Given the local election results in the UK, a short #thread - based on much of our own research - on the vicious cycle of radical right support that we have seen in many countries. 1) When radical right parties (such as Reform) are electorally successful established parties move right on immigration

Buying more gas is the worst offer the EU can make Trump. LNG is extremely polluting and it totally undermines any climate leadership the EU claims to have.

Schip met hulpgoederen voor Gaza aangevallen voor de kust van Malta

“Grote, hoge en daarmee zware auto’s zouden veiliger zijn, zeggen de kopers. Dat zijn ze alleen voor de inzittenden.”

De EU stuurt hulp en water om Israëlische branden te blussen, terwijl het Palestijnen 70 kilometer verderop laat creperen zonder voedsel, water of hulp. Dit is geen onmacht, maar een politieke keuze.

Begin van het einde voor fossiele reclame? Vonnis over Haags verbod biedt nieuwe mogelijkheden

I heard many Americans discuss the Dutch concept “koekentroost”. Just wanted to share another Dutch word: dropjesverzet. It means giving someone a liquorice and asking them to join the resistance against fascism.

NEW from Jen Hadayia @airalliancehou.bsky.social & me: 69% of voters oppose the EPA's new "just email Trump" loophole for polluters. Trump's deregulatory actions don’t happen in a vacuum -- they have very real & harmful impacts, esp. in a place like Houston. www.dataforprogress.org/insights/202...

We banned tobacco advertising because smoking kills . Fossil fuels kill too – 5.1 million people a year according to one study in the British Medical Journal . It's time to ban fossil fuel ads , just 13 days left to sign my petition govpetition.uk/700024

Phasing out Blair would be good www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Maandenlang mooie woorden van de VVD & PVV over de middenklasse. Wat blijkt vandaag uit doorrekening CPB? Gezinnen gaan volgend jaar €3.800 miljoen extra belasting betalen (!) Rechts beleid ontziet de grootste winsten, vermogens & vervuilers, waardoor rekening weer terechtkomt bij werkenden.

Just read something about climate tipping points and realised how few people understand this. It’s a massive failure of our media that people know so little about some of the biggest dangers facing them in their lifetimes.

“Een openbare ruimte zonder aanprijzingen van vliegreclames en benzineauto’s komt dichterbij.”

VVD: Goedkoop sporten biedt oneerlijke concurrentie voor sportscholen die netjes aan ons doneren.🙃

Rake woorden van Emma Curvers over journalistiek, de klimaatcrisis en Gaza. "...er zit soms een vreemde afstandelijkheid in: je voelt de angst voor het verwijt van drammerij, die bijna resulteert in apathie." www.volkskrant.nl/columns-van-...

48C in PAKISTAN again. Fierce heat allover Asia with the temperatures expected to rise more and more with near 50C in Pakistan and 40C in the Kazakh highlands even at 600/800m asl The 50C of Canada in 2021 looks like peanuts to what will happen next hours/days in Central Asia.
