Basically right, except Die Linke are no-longer “populist left. More like “radical left” or even “progressive left”, like the Scandi equivalents. BSW have done Die Linke a huge favour, by detoxifying them.

Israel has invaded Syria. The failure of the Western media to refer to an invasion is nothing other than disinformation. A lie by omission is still a lie. You are being lied to. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-has...

This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change. theconversation.com/a-doom-loop-...

Since the fall of Assad, Israel has expanded further into Syrian territory beyond its illegal occupation of the Golan Heights. Netanyahu’s Greater Israel is unfolding: seizing land in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank & East Jerusalem, unchecked by the international community.

IMPORTANT: Finland is building the world’s largest heat pump to warm homes in Helsinki. It would decarbonize the city’s district heating system by end of 2026. “Helsinki has set the ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2030, and transitioning our heating system is crucial to achieving this.”

This may seem counterintuitive to some but the surest way to accelerate deployment of wind, solar, battery, and other sustainable infrastructures is to design them in collaboration with local community, engage young people, and build in social co-benefits through both profit sharing and placemaking.

The uneven extraction of wealth and resources from South to North never ended, and the funds the South now demands for climate are a mere token of the kind of reparations that would actually be just (not to mention effective towards creating an actually-sustainable global society)

You need to see shocking extent of carbon inequality around the world. A remarkable study led by Jared Starr finds that super-rich US households emit 2000 TIMES more CO2e than average low-income country households. How the f*ck is that even possible? The disparity never ceases to enrage me.

Němečtí Greenpeace udělali skvělou studii, podle které LEAG patřící pod EPH Daniela Křetínského nemá dostatek peněz na rekultivaci krajiny po konci těžby. A nejspíš nebude dostatečně rentabilní, aby ty peníze v budoucnu vydělali. Vytěžit a utéct, toť strategie DK denikreferendum.cz/clanek/36900...

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

"The bicycle is magic." I feel this every time I get on my road bike for a longer ride. I can sit on less than 20 pounds of well engineered metal & tires, and all of a sudden I can quintuple my speed and range vs walking without any more effort. Truly efficient. 🚲

Renewables are exceeding expectations - but so are emissions. Why? Part of the fossil economy's staying power comes from false promises of techno-neutralisation. CCS is the OG machine saviour. A new blog for you, on why its second coming hasn't come. ketanjoshi.co/2024/11/24/2... (+ thread)

Each and every fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets and roads for cars, making them faster and more dangerous for everyone, and how much space we could reclaim for people and public life if we thought about street design differently. We call them #sneckdowns. #sneckdown

So do we have this right: Trump accidentally exposed a bunch of Republicans as alleged sexual assaulters and child sex traffickers, and then when they faced opposition in the Senate, Marjorie Taylor Greene implied their whole party was filled with pedophiles connected to Jeffrey Epstein. 4D chess!
