🏭How to make the polluter >really< pay is one of the challenges of our time 🤔New paper in Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) makes a breakthrough that may help - in linking climate damages to individual polluting companies (read: home.dartmouth.edu/news/2025/04...) @sioldridge.bsky.social

At least 140,000 children and 67,000 adults have died as a result of Musk, the orange, and Rubio terminating USAID support to healthcare and food aid. The lag effects of HIV/AIDs, TB and malnutrition will soon start increasing the toll more rapidly.

France is ready to hold fast fashion accountable with a new eco-label. But the EU might stop it and push a weaker system shaped by big brands. Join the action to protect people and the planet 🌏❗ action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-04...

In Munich in 1938, Great Britain and France decided with fascist Italy which parts of Czechoslovakia would be ceded to Hitler's Germany - without Czechoslovakia's consent. Because they hoped to prevent a world war. Result known. Never again #appeasement.

Solange das politische Leitbild der Ministerin auf Vater-Mutter-Kind setzt, werden andere Familienformen benachteiligt. Es ist nicht Aufgabe der Politik, zu entscheiden, welche Familie ‚die richtige‘ ist. Unser Job ist es, alle Familien unabhängig von Form und frei von Ideologie zu unterstützen.

Kind reminder that burning wood, pellets or other biomass is *not* carbon neutral, at least not in the timespan which matters for us humans.

We must stop focusing hydrogen research and investment into dead-ends. EVs out-sell fuel cell cars 1000:1. Find out what's hot and what's not as the famous @mliebreich.bsky.social Hydrogen Ladder enters the peer-reviewed literature. New paper in Nature Reviews: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

"Österreich ist der Kreisverkehr Europas. Wir liegen beim Straßenbau um 50% höher als der EU-Schnitt, um 55% höher als in Deutschland. Bei den Plänen der Regierung - in Tateinheit mit Bundesländern und Gemeinden - geht es um zweistellige Milliardenbeiträge." 🗨️ @wernerkogler.bsky.social #OeNR

This century humanity could cause a climate forcing unseen for over 60 million years. One of the most important figures in our (Hansen et al.) 'Global warming in the pipeline' paper:

Very dangerous step Small-scale experiments inevitably lead to demand for larger ones There's no international governance in place So it's paving the way for Musk-like plutocrat to go it alone Any geoengineering has winners & losers - guess who losers will be www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Temperature was roughly 3C hotter than it was in 1850. The Earth’s oceans were so much higher that the eastern coastline of what would become North America ended about one hundred miles west of where it is currently. East Africa was heavily forested. And there were camels in what is now the Arctic.

Ein Jahr #Cannabis entkriminalisiert, ich hab mal beim Senat nach Zahlen gefragt. Fakt ist: Polizei und Justiz werden entlastet.

Important and encouraging new study:“Making people aware that their pro-climate view is, in fact, by far the majority could unlock a social tipping point and push leaders into the climate action so urgently needed, experts say.“ We have to talk more about climate! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

0,0009 Prozent aller in Deutschland Corona-Geimpften erlitten einen Impffolgeschaden. In absoluten Zahlen: 573 von 64.900.000. Zum Vergleich: 2024 wurden 2.759 Menschen im Verkehr getötet und 363.108 verletzt — meist durch Autos. Eine Aufarbeitung der Verkehrsmaßnahmen wurde von niemandem gefordert.

China’s coal power fell 4.7% YoY in Q1 2025, even as electricity demand rose 1.3%. Renewables picked up the slack—hydro surged, and 39.6 GW of solar was added in Jan–Feb alone, making up 74% of new capacity. Clean energy is no longer a backup—it’s now leading the charge. ⚡🇨🇳 #EnergyTransition #Solar

Bingo. This is the “energy dominance” test.

The White House Easter Egg Roll is sponsored by Amazon, Google, and Meta — who are all being sued by the federal government for antitrust violations. It's the first time the event has had corporate sponsors. Everything is for sale under Trump — and Big Tech wants to cash in.
