I generally agree with the points being made, but when looking at oil company divestment I assume it only includes public companies and not national oil companies? The source of an unfortunate rise in fossil investments... (source: IEA)

Do note that figure is actually an underestimation as this is the sale of new cars, but there is a large import of near new used EVs and adding those puts the figure in excess of 80%. Its the orange in the diagram

Har I også noget der ikke gemmer sig bag en betalingsmur :-)

Korrekt. Men jeg tænker omfang af indvandring er politisk bestemt og der skal dramatiske ændringer til før udbud af potentiel indvandring falder under DK efterspørgsel. USA vil sandsynligvis mærke en effekt af nedadgående fertilitet lang tid før

Og nu pinger jeg også lige @rasmussalmon.bsky.social ... som er afsender af jeres rapport.

Jeg antager i har samme indvandring som i befolkningsfremskrivning. Hvor meget skal indvandring øges for at kompensere det fald?

Interessante er, at på den korte bane forbedres holdbarhed. Færre vuggestuer men lige mange på arbejdsmarkedet. Ved ikke om de har "tipping point" med, hvor længe der går før fald i fertilitet i dag slår igennem i holdbarhed. Stigende råderum skyldes netop nedskrivning af fertilitet fra 1,9 til 1,7

The Danish Green Tripartite Agreement and Its Impact on Food Production in Denmark The direct effect of the Danish Green Tripartite Agreement will be a lower food production in Denmark. This is the almost inevitable result of the correct and ambitious goal of the agreement to reduce...

There are trade-offs when wishing for more nature and biodiversity. A risk of losing productive agricultural land in a world with rising demand on land use. A change in food consumption away from cows would help or can even be said to be essential to ease this trade-off.

The AI Power Paradox Can states learn to govern artificial intelligence—before it’s too late?

The scariest sentence I read today: "Because global AI governance is only as good as the worst-governed country, company, or technology, it must be watertight everywhere" www.foreignaffairs.com/world/artifi...

Battery breakthrough as 99.99% of lithium extracted from old cells New recycling method offers environmentally friendly way to deal with increasing e-waste from old smartphones and electric cars

No universe in which rare minerals are a scarce resource and the green transition is a ravenous beast after those same resources. Whilst at the same time expecting the used minerals in batteries to go to waste.

Med Torsten Hasforth, Concito

Yeah ... but sheep... not really climate friendly... we need fewere ruminants not more.

Good overview of Danish climate politics (in german)... maybe as a bit of inspiration.

We analysed the “odds” of Denmark achieving ambitious climate goals for 2030. The political initiatives are in place but implementation is a whole different ball game.

Challenges of energy transition. Background: DK has had its fair share of tenders with CFD for offshore with falling prices ending in final large tender without CFD. DK has built succesfully for present power demand but for future demand is a different story -👍 thread by @emildimanchev.bsky.social

Lack of electrification risks hindering more offshore wind The following article appeared in Danish in the online outlet Klimamonitor on the 6th of December just prior to the announcement of the results of the bids to build offshore wind. A tender which unfor...

Last thursday I expressed my concern that a lack of electrification would be a barrier to Denmarks largest yet tender for offshore wind. That unfortunately proved to be more than true. With no bids for new offshore wind. concito.dk/en/news/lack...

Det er det jeg mener. Staten bør skabe efterspørgsel efter strøm eller rammer så elefterspørgsel kommer. Det vil også selvstændigt bidrage til den grønne omstilling. Herunder bygge infrastruktur. Build it and they will come hvis jeg må tillade mig en sådan reference.

Ikke efterspørgslen efter strøm før udbuddet af havvind kommer?

Øv…

Du er utilfreds med den politiske ambition ift. natur og dyrevelfærd det kan jeg godt forstå. Jeg er måske det forkerte træ at gø op af i den kontekst. Jeg vil også stadig mene at mindre stabilitet i det politiske rum ikke ville give os mere ambitiøs politik

Det er jo ikke det samme. Det er uomtvisteligt at dansk politik kan noget man ikke ser i andre systemer. Langsigtede brede forlig.

Men det kunne også være dig @sorenhave.bsky.social ;-)
