Accumulating climate expertise since early 1980’s.
Defending democracy since 1990's
Opposing Mordor since 1970's







En väitä, että siltikään menisi hyvin, mutta jos olisimme jatkaneet edellisen hallituksen linjalla, menisi kuitenkin nykyistä paremmin.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

We need to get really angry at those who work hard to prevent any meaningful climate change mitigation efforts. Surely they are just a small (but powerful) minority. Being polite hasn't worked, we must force the change.
Global CO2 emissions from fossil use are projected to rise 1.1% in 2025 (range 0.2% to 2.2%).

Emissions in China & India are projected to grow much less in 2025, while emissions in the USA & EU are projected to grow this year, partly due to weather conditions.

The man who has caused this will now be a trillionaire. 600.000 deaths, two thirds of them children.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

We should get really angry at those who willingly and knowingly hinder efforts to dramatically change this trajectory.
Global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions rise again in 2024, up 2.3%.

This is our collective progress, 10 years after the Paris Agreement.

Tulipa sattuneesta syystä etsittyä yhden audiohärpäkkeen arvosteluja (kirjoitettuja). Muutama vakiintunut tekijä kirjoitti asiallisesti, mutta iso osa oli selvästikin AI-skeidaa. Paljon sanoja — vähän sisältöä. AI johtanee siihen, että syntyy enemmän huonoa tekstiä, kuin koskaan ennen.

russia isn't going to attack any NATO country soon. Therefore every NATO country could safely give Ukraine much more and better military aid now. We will have time to replenish our stockpiles. Let's do it!
A Russian ballistic missile destroyed a 29,000 m² warehouse of “Optima-Pharm” in Kyiv, one of Ukraine’s largest pharmaceutical distributors. Damage is estimated at over $100 million.

It was an honour meeting Dr. James Hansen and discuss our predictions about how much reducing sulphur emissions from shipping will accelerate warming. Hate say that it's going just like we expected.
Artificial cooling will be needed while we reduce our ghg emissions frustratingly slowly.
Stay tuned

Possible up to 40“ of rain. 1 meter! and most of it in much less than 4 days. Melissa is going to be terrible.

venäjä on ollut venäjä jo pitkään. Tuli sattumalta taas vastaan tämä tuttu tapaus, jossa välirauhan aikana ampuivat alas siviilikoneen.
p.s. olisi harhaanjohtavaa sanoa Baltian maiden kuuluneen neuvostoliittoon, kun kyse oli miehityksestä.

Let's increase our aid to Ukraine and keep on strengthening the sanctions on russia.
THE WORLD MUST WATCH THIS!

This is a kindergarten in Kharkiv — Ukraine’s second-largest city. Russia struck it. A place meant for children’s laughter is now shattered by war. Russia is a terrorist state!

Kullan hintakehitys sai taas miettimään, miten ihmeellistä on, että kulta on hurjan arvokasta, vaikka ihan valtaosa kullasta on aikalailla hyödyttömässä muodossa kultaharkkoina holveissa ja koruina (no korut toki nättejä, mutta voisivat olla yhtä nättejä jostain muustakin materiaalista tehtyinä).

On this day 10 years ago, Russia entered the Syrian civil war on behalf of the Assad regime, devastating infrastructure, displacing millions and murdering thousands of Syrian civilians.

Despite all of these widespread crimes, Moscow and Assad would go on to lose.

Tämmönen naiivi kysymys. Voisko valtio lainata rahaa kansalaisilta? Jos kerran meillä on ennätysmäärä rahaa lojumassa tileillä, voisi ajatella, että moni mieluusti lainasi sitä valtiolle.

"Toimet alentavat hallituksen tuloja mutta lisäävät kuitenkin päästöjä"
Otetaan siis lisää velkaa, jotta voidaan lisätä päästöjä?

Harmittaa, että sellainen toiminta, joka on oikeasti ilmaston, luonnon monimuotoisuuden ja ihmisten hyvinvoinnin kannalta hyödyksi, ei yleensä ole taloudellisesti kannattavaa. Tai toisin päin; yleensä talousseikat estävät toimimasta tavalla, joka olisi kokonaisuuden kannalta hyväksi.

Tukiverkkojen saksiminen saa minut ja monet muut entistä säästeliäämmäksi. Se ei taida olla hyväksi taloudelle, että hillotaan vaan pahan päivän varalle.

Based on what I learned during the last 25 years of 20th century I thought most people would oppose authoritarianism. Now during the first 25 years of 21st century I have learned that many obey fascists voluntarily and welcome authoritarianism.

Millaisia todennettavissa olevia esimerkkejä veronkevennysten yhteiskunnallisista hyödyistä löytyy meiltä tai maailmalta? Siis jotain esimerkkejä, jotka vertautuisivat Suomen nykytilanteeseen.

Ukraine deserves to get more aid from the whole world in their fight against a terrorist state.
On August 3, a russian drone deliberately targeted Ukrainian firefighters. Russia is a terrorist state!
