As projected here www.nature.com/articles/s41... we are steadily moving toward a situation where are major town or city runs out of water

There are early signs of this everywhere, right now Iran seems to be a hotspot at ~1.5ΒΊC of heating

We are *utterly* unprepared for what comes at 1.6, 1.7 & 2ΒΊC

These ads are poisoning trust in media β€˜Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.

Kinneging reageert op screenshot van titel van interview met PhD over haar (academisch legitieme) onderzoeksconclusies. Doet dan alsof heel de UvA dit vindt; loopt leeg over de Sovjet-Unie zonder letter van het proefschrift gelezen te hebben. Roept op tot sluiten van de UvA. πŸ₯΄Wetenschap onwaardig.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Blijkbaar mag je niet eens meer de waarheid zeggen over Liegende Dilan, zonder meteen gecanceld te worden door het verstikkende politiek correcte discours aan de rechterflank.

Is vrijheid van meningsuiting nog wel zo vanzelfsprekend in Nederland?

Als de VVD zichzelf in de hoek manoeuvreert kan het nog altijd op een loyale PINO* rekenen die het voor ze opneemt.

Daarnaast stel ik ook voor om dezelfde eisen te gaan stellen aan banken e.d., want het aantal investment bankers dat links stemt is bizar klein. Bepalen waar hoeveel geld naartoe gaat (en waar dus niet) is even formatief voor de samenleving als de universiteit per slot van rekening.
