Såhär skriver polisen:”[Alcer ägnar sig åt] brottsliga gärningar för att få igenom en förändring som endast kan ske medelst politiska beslut och bedöms därför som ett hot mot den demokratiska grundordningen”

Civil olydnad ses som hot mot demokratin - jag hoppas alla förstår hur farlig den synen är.

I've been doing a lot of academic travel! And often on very big trains! So I wonder... What's the carbon footprint of all those flights I did NOT take? Here are the numbers: http://mcld.co.uk/blog/2025/my-academic-travel-carbon-footprint-trains-versus-planes.html #academicchatter #flyless

Till detta hör att Klimatkollen sökte finansiering från Vinnova för att tillgängliggöra lokala klimatrisker för medborgare.

På grund av neddragen budget till myndigheten, drogs hela utlysningen tillbaka och allt stöd till civilsamhället uteblev.

🐄 New preprint summarizing our work on SatML for grazing detection, jointly with the Swedish Board of Agriculture!

Grazing plays a key roll for maintaining important biodiversity hotspots, e.g. semi-natural pastures - and we scale up grazing monitoring efforts with SatML!

Grazing Detection using Deep Learning and Sentinel-2 Time Series Data
Grazing shapes both agricultural production and biodiversity, yet scalable monitoring of where grazing occurs remains limited. We study seasonal grazing detection from Sentinel-2 L2A time series: for ...
