Players are at extreme risk for heat stress in 10 of 16 stadiums in the 2026 #FIFAWorldCup, according to a new metric that accounts for athletes’ physiology.

Hitte extreem risicovol voor voetballers op WK Noord- Amerika (🇺🇸 🇨🇦 en 🇲🇽)

For The End Climate Silence newsletter this week, I thought about the concept of "resistance." To put it bluntly, I said that "resistance" is a terrible idea to organize on. 🧵

Google, Microsoft, and Meta's increasing use of data centers has resulted in increased air pollution from extensive fossil fuel energy consumption and associated public health costs related to treating cancers, asthma, and other similar issues, valued at over $5.4 billion in the past five years.

Ajax zet de halve selectie in om reclame te maken voor crypto. Dat past niet, als je #ForTheFuture bent. Hier een stuk dat @tesselmiddag.bsky.social, Roy Blokvoort en ik daar eerder over schreven: www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opin...

Namens @fossilfreefootball.bsky.social wil ik graag de sponsoring van de taart en koffie aanbieden, @hardgras.bsky.social.

I know we all love a dose of hopium, especially now. But the take, which I see all across here, that the far right was defeated in Germany tonight because 80% of Germans voted for other parties is very misleading and unhelpful. Understanding this really matters. 🧵

The young vote in Germany, by gender. 😳

This is what happens when a baseball league is sponsored by a solar installer, instead of Phillips 66.. ☀️🔌💡

Wow! DIe Linke does much better than expected, while both CDU and AfD fall below symbolically important 30% and 20%, respectively. FDP might still make it, BSW less likely. Grand Coalition is possible but narrow margins... #BTW25 #GermanElection

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Krakers en liberalen aller landen, verenigt u tegen de racisten en fascisten!

Die motiverende speech van Maurice Steijn vooraf hadden ze mogen laten. #AJAUSG

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Solar, battery, and install for 5100 USD, sold at the grocery store to complete with Ikea. Australia is killing it on cheap solar, let's make it happen here.

The big match in the tournament sponsored by Qatar Airways sees Emirates take the lead against Etihad. UEFA and club leadership all assume we’ll forget their support for deadly fossil fuels the next time they express their solidarity with victims of high-profile climate disasters. #RMAMCI

project 2025 comes to london. kudos to desmog for snagging the guestlist www.desmog.com/2025/02/16/l...

"When politicians who are seen as mainstream treat an extremist far-right party as normal, public opinion will tend to follow; and once such normalization has happened, as in Europe today, it is virtually impossible to undo."

TODAY: The Saudi Human Rights delegation wants to discuss how human rights can, and must, still be championed and that Newcastle fans can make a real difference by showing solidarity with the many victims of the regime which owns our club.

Over at EPA, new administrator Lee Zeldin is trying to "claw back" $20 billion that the agency has already dispersed. In other words, the government gave the money to private parties, and now it's going to steal the money back. It is straightforwardly illegal.

Mooie ontwikkeling! “Volgens Van Wijnen levert het vasthouden aan de aangescherpte strategie juist de beste garantie op een goed rendement. ‘Dat is niet een ideologie of een of ander woke standpunt. Het heeft gewoon te maken met de diepe verantwoordelijkheid die ABP voelt voor komende generaties’”

Newcastle chose to fly to their match in Manchester this weekend ✈ These ultra short haul flights must have no place in 2025 ❌ The huge pollution only saved the team a couple hours 🤦‍♂️ Some teams never fly, but others are way ahead in the race for the Carbon Boot trophy! @carbonboot.bsky.social

We just had our first meet-up and we couldn’t be more excited! Amazing to meet many other football fans ready to kick out their club’s polluting sponsor! You can still sign up for next week 👇

Ik heb me toch zo’n ontzettende hekel aan Mona Keijzer.

Watch until the end.

Burn more fossil fuels and you get more inflation.

The Irish government is reportedly preparing to buy US LNG from fracked gas, by allowing the construction of a commercial import terminal, in exchange for economic concessions from Trump. We need to cut dependence on fossil fuels as quickly as possible - not lock it in for decades.

Forget, for a moment, that LNG is a huge driver of the climate change driving fire and flood (by the time you’ve shipped it overseas it’s far worse even than coal); exporting it in huge quantities also obviously drives up the price for Americans still reliant on fracked gas for heating and cooking.

Wereldwijd wordt $492 miljard belasting ontdoken. Nederland kent €30-€50 miljard belastingkortingen zonder doel. De allerrijksten betalen het laagste belastingtarief. Maar gemeenten hebben anonieme 'kliklijnen' zodat inwoners 'vermoedens' van bijstandsfraude kunnen melden.

At football's top flight, sponsorship from the industries fuelling the climate crisis is commonplace. On Monday, Fossil Free Football are bringing fans together to take on polluters at their clubs. 🧵 ✍️ Sign up: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

💥 YES! Gemeente Nijmegen breekt met ING vanwege klimaat en mensenrechten. De gemeente stapt over naar BNG Bank. Deze stap komt na maandenlange acties van GroenGeld Nijmegen, XR Nijmegen en andere groepen.

Couldn’t have happened to a nazier guy

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

De NPO maakt zich onsterfelijk belachelijk als men dit accepteert. Idd, ze gaan niet over benoeming, maar wel over isoleren van die club, zendtijd, budget. En los daarvan kunnen ze ook weleens iets dappers doen.

Schurkenstaat.

Hoe lang duurde het voordat de VVD stopte dat andere apartheidsregime te steunen?

Een stoere tweet van Geert Wilders vanmiddag, maar in het debat blijkt dat de huurverhogingen gewoon door gaan. €480 meer huur in de sociale huur €636 meer huur in de vrije sector €1020 meer huur in het middensegment Mede mogelijk gemaakt door de PVV. Ongelofelijk.

Activists from @re-set.bsky.social kicked off the #INGGlobalaction by delivering a big heart to the Prague ING office. The activists called on ING to cut ties with Czech energy giant EPH. Instead of rapidly closing down the coal plant & mines it is buying it is extending their life times.

Luistertip voor Louis van Gaal.. Masterclass sportswashing door Paul Kagame, kundig uitgelegd door Koert Lindijer.

Hier word je toch woedend van. 46 bescheiden mensen die geweldig werk doen worden ontslagen, terwijl dit land bulkt van het geld, dat evenwel volkomen scheef belast wordt. Zolang we weigeren kapitaal te belasten schaffen we onze beschaving af. nos.nl/artikel/2555...

TotalEnergies, Qatar Airways, Saudia: WPP works for some big pollutters we know from football. Something to follow 👀

Links Gerdi Verbeet die klaagt dat geen GL-PvdA-kamerlid iets inbracht tegen VVD-agenda. Rechts Jesse Klaver die toentertijd gelijk iets inbracht tegen de nieuwe VVD-agenda. Deze anti-fusie PvdA’ers lijken meer bezig te zijn met hun eigen nostalgie dan met de politieke werkelijkheid.

Football sponsorship has become a tried and tested way for polluting industries to launder their reputation. Is your club sponsored by a major polluter? Join Fossil Free Football next week to connect with other fans that want to take action. Sign up 👉 www.fossilfreefootball.org/2025/01/30/f...

BREAKING! 🚨 📢 In a first-of-its-kind action, we're challenging the world's largest ad firm, WPP, over their work promoting huge polluters. 👉 head to badverts.org/wpp to learn more!

This coup has to be halted. This is harming millions domestically and globally. Where the hell is Congress?
