The amazing thing is that while Europeans are slapping themselves on the back for their dealings with Trump, what he has done is take sanctions on Russia off the table and put giving Ukrainian territory to Russia very much on the table.

Melting on the Arctic’s Svalbard Islands Shows the Climate Future Is Now - Inside Climate News The rapid disintegration of glaciers on the islands north of Norway foreshadows a catastrophic future for the Arctic, scientists warn.

A new study released this week presents the record ice melt on the Svalbard islands in summer 2024 as a glimpse into a future where other Arctic ice masses, including those on Greenland, could melt faster than currently anticipated.

Paris has removed the paving from its city hall square and transformed it into an urban forest. Stunning! 🤩

And so is Canada:

This SINGLE WEEK of Spanish wildfire emissions surpassed ANNUAL total carbon emissions of each of the 100 lowest emitting countries in the world‼️

Carbon sinks are turning into sources

We can’t expect nature to clean up our mess.

JSO activist Roger Hallam released from prison Last year, the state arrested Roger Hallam and others on 'conspiracy' charges, sparking a brutal crackdown on the right to protest.

As the meeting in Washington approaches, and Trump is trying to pressure Zelensky to give land to Putin, I do hope one thing is clear. Trump was, is and always be in Putin’s camp. Everything we have seen since November was an act to help Putin. Trump has always wanted to screw Ukraine.

Earth's Continents Are Drying Out at an Unprecedented Rate, Study Warns All over the world, fresh water is disappearing, and a new analysis reveals that much of it is entering the ocean, with drying continents now contributing more to the alarming rise in global sea level...

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: nor any drop to drink

"Dry areas are drying at a faster rate than wet areas are wetting ... At the same time, the area experiencing drying has increased, while the area experiencing wetting has decreased."

In decades to come, there will be many books written about how European states with well over 500 million people and an economy more than 20 times the size of Russia and approx equal to the USA, end up a group of sad bystanders in the making of their own destiny.

Climate Chat with James Hansen is now live!

Warum gibt es durch die Erderwärmung sowohl mehr Extremregen als auch mehr Dürren? Die Klimaforscher warnen seit über 30 Jahren davor: dahinter steckt ein seit dem Jahr 1834 bekanntes Gesetz der Physik. Hier habe ich es kurz erklärt: www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...

Every European state that tries to convince Ukraine that they should accept a security guarantee that falls short of NATO and relies on the world of Donald Trump--should be required to leave NATO and take the exact same "guarantee".
We can then see how much worth it really has.

Isn't our planet in a cooling phase?!..

NASA’s acting chief calls for the end of Earth science at the space agency NASA’s charter clearly states the agency should study planet Earth, however.

Your 'moment of neo-fascist kakistocracy' for today:

"All the climate science, and all of the other priorities that the last administration had at NASA, we’re going to move aside..."

Extraordinarily good episode with Fiona Hill as a special guest.

China does go big!
Huge floating installation, saving space and evaporation of hydropower water.

But global energy demand is increasing rapidly as well.

Few can grasp how hungry AI will get.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

Putin Makes No Concessions But Trump Normalizes Relations People Seem To Be Missing The Big Story

Just sent out this free piece. I hear some saying yesterday's summit changed little--nothing could be further from the truth. The summit helped Russia and hurt Ukraine. It had 3 main components.
First, US-Russian relations are being normalized in front of our eyes. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

“Here we show that the main multidecadal variations in the PDO index during the twentieth century, including the ongoing, decades-long negative trend, were largely driven by human emissions of aerosols and greenhouse gases rather than internal processes.”

Fühle mich wirklich peinlich berührt von einem solchen Take, da völlig verzerrt dargestellt wird, wie das Bundesverfassungsgericht und Gesetzgebung funktionieren.

Wer so etwas als Journalist*in schreibt, braucht entweder dringend Urlaub oder ist zu emotional für den Job. Analyse geht anders.

Wahltag:

Union 28,5 %
AfD 20,8 %

Heute (laut Forsa)

Union 24 %
AfD 26 %

Dass der Rechtsruck die AfD nicht schwächt, sondern stärker macht, ist allen klar. Außer anscheinend allen großen Parteien.

Wir veröffentlichen dieses Interview kommentiert. Wir haben die mit Sternchen gekennzeichneten Aussagen auf ihren Wahrheitsgehalt hinüberprüft und falsches in einem Faktencheck widerlegt. Im Original Interview fielen zudem Aussagen, die unserer Meinung nach verfassungswidrig seien oder rechtsextremistische Tendenzen offenbaren könnten. Wir werden diese nicht veröffentlichen und haben diese Aussagen an die verantwortlichen Behörden zur Prüfung weitergeleitet. Das ist hochinteressant,

Jeanette König (Lippische Landeszeitung) setzt neue Maßstäbe für (AfD) Interviews!

Sehr mutig!

Eine wirklich außerordentlich erhellende Studie von @dianebolet.bsky.social und @florianfoos.bsky.social, die zeigt, wie Sichtbarkeit von extrem rechten Politiker*innen in Interviews wirkt und dass die Kritik, so etwas normalisiere deren Positionen, eine sachliche Grundlage hat.
