Jamaica is responsible for less than 0.05% of global CO2 pollution.

That it's about to be destroyed by a monster hurricane is climate injustice — aka climate colonialism, aka global capitalism — in action.

Evonik-Chef fordert Abschaffung des Emissionshandels Der europäische Emissionshandel steht unter Druck, weil die Mitgliedstaaten massive Preissteigerungen beim Tanken und Heizen vermeiden wollen. Evonik-Chef Kullmann fordert die Abschaffung des strengen...

Vor zwei Jahren war die Welt noch eine andere. Da sprachen u.a. Marktliberale und Konservative ganz aufgekratzt noch von der gigantischen Wirkmacht des CO2-Preises, der uns alle retten wird, statt irgendwelche anderen politischen Maßnahmen für den Klimaschutz zu machen.

Und heute so:

Pentagon announces a new right-wing press corps after mass walkout A new crop of conservative media and influencers signed an agreement with the Pentagon, including the Gateway Pundit, the Post Millennial, Human Events and the National Pulse.

Here's who's in the Pentagon's new "press corps," covering world's most powerful military:

Out: New York Times, Washington Post.
In: Tim Pool's Timcast, Gateway Pundit, the MyPillow guy's LindellTV.

CO₂-Gehalt der Atmosphäre auf Rekordniveau und der Anstieg von 2023 zu 2024 so hoch wie noch nie.
Warum? Natürliche Senken werden zu Quellen: Ozeane speichern weniger, Wälder unter Stress stoßen CO₂. Waldbrände zerstören Biomasse und damit CO₂-Speicher.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

The Trump administration has promoted the anti-vax, anti-science movement which has now produced an epidemic www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

People still are tragically underestimating what this is doing to our societies.
The rich got richer and richer, super rich, mega rich. They are dictating policies.
So it gets worse — and they get richer. It tears our societies apart.

Stehe gerade im Supermarkt, bin mir aber unsicher, ob es sich bei den Produkten hier um Fleisch oder Pflanzliches handelt. Zum Glück hat das EU-Parlament soeben entschieden, das zukünftig besser zu kennzeichnen, um mich vor dieser "echten Verwechslungsgefahr" zu schützen🤦‍♂️

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

Censoring words, suppressing research, and silencing scientists doesn't change reality. Climate change will affect everything from intensifying weather patterns to disrupting our global supply chains.

Treating it as "That-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named" will only make us woefully unprepared.

How Trump’s Case Against Revolution Wind Fell Apart The administration argued in the name of national defense — but Orsted had receipts.

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns.

It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets.

On tonight’s episode of The Apprentice: Democracy’s Death…

President Trump said that regulators should consider revoking the licenses of broadcasters that air negative coverage or commentary of him, indicating that his assault on critics’ language is motivated at least in part by personal animus. nyti.ms/3W2Jz8p

Here’s how Jimmy Fallon responded to Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off air:

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Wo sind nun eigentlich diejenigen, die in Deutschland und Österreich so lautstark über angebliche #CancelCulture und Gefährdung der #Meinungsfreiheit durch LinksLiberalWokeDings jammerten?

Because America will murder you and call you a drug smuggling terrorist.

Zitat oder nicht? Klöckners seltsames Spiel mit Nius und taz Im Ernst? Die Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner hat Nius und taz gar nicht verglichen, sagt sie jetzt. Das ruft Markus Wiegand in seiner kress pro-Kolumne auf den Plan.

Das ist krass: Julia Klöckner lässt jetzt einfach abstreiten, dass sie die taz und Nius verglichen hat - mit Verweis auf das schriftliche Redemanuskript. Dabei war @larswienand.bsky.social vor Ort und hat einen Mitschnitt der tatsächlichen Rede.

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech

TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.
