Rewilding projects don't have to be done on a large scale. Small spaces such as gardens can also be made wilder to benefit nature - and simple actions, like leaving some grass to grow long, can really boost biodiversity. More ideas: bit.ly/4bFeS0g #worldrewildingday

Warum diskutierten wir eigentlich nur, wie Europa mit vielen Hundert Milliarden Euro die US-Lücke in unserer Verteidigung schließen kann — und nicht, wie wir das Leid lindern können, das die Auflösung von USAID auslöst?

In der gesamten Pressekonferenz zu den Sondierugen kam übrigens kein einziges Mal Klimaschutz vor. Dafür aber 13x Migration. So eine Pressekonferenz im Jahr 2025 inmitten der Klimakrise zu halten...unfassbar.

I wrote much of what I think about this election before it happened, so I am going to put it all together here. My book, Autocracy Inc, described the network of autocrats who seek to undermine democracy, inside their countries and ours www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/725302...

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

"This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Am Beispiel Trump sieht man, dass Diktaturen überhaupt nur möglich sind, weil sich ein beträchtlicher Teil der Menschen für den eigenen Vorteil freiwillig unterwerfen.

Die USA sind nun kein Partner mehr: Im Krieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine hat ein völlig neues Kapitel begonnen. Trump spielt jetzt im Club mit den Rechtsradikalen und Autokraten der Welt. 👉 taz.de/!6072974

As someone who researches greenhouse gases, I’m absolutely sickened by this. What’s next??Smoking is healthy? Mercury is great in cocktails?

The new US Energy Secretary Chris Wright spoke a lot about the German energy transition ("Energiewende") in his first speech to the DOE staff. But most of the numbers and facts he used to denounce it were wrong or misleading. I corrected some of them in this article: table.media/en/climate/f...
