Die Welt der Energie verändert sich derzeit rasend schnell, nichts (außer Rechenzentren) boomt so sehr wie Erneuerbare, Speicher und Elektroautos. Das geht nicht weg, wenn man sich die Finger in die Ohren steckt und laut „GasGasGasGasGas“ singt. www.spiegel.de/wisse...

Auch gut informierte Menschen in diesem Land haben eine massiv verzerrte Vorstellung davon, wie sich die Welt gerade entwickelt. Gehören Sie dazu?

Kolumne: Die Bundesregierung setzt, im Sinne von Automobilzulieferern, Energiekonzernen und Springer, auf den Schutz schrumpfender Märkte und auf Subventionen für fossile Geschäftsmodelle. Das ist das Gegenteil von »freier Marktwirtschaft«.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

„Bitte nicht aufhören zu sprechen; es hören viele zu.“ Eine wiederholte Reaktion auf den vorigen Post. Höre ich auch oft in Gesprächen.

Nochmal: Es geht nicht ums Zuhören. Es geht ums Weitererzählen. Mit eigenen Worten. Da draußen.

Ich hatte das neulich schon erbeten. Fand überschaubaren Zuspruch.

Was kann Wissenschaft tun, um die richtige Sprache zu finden? Das beschäftigt mich schon lange. Zuletzt ziemlich intensiv.

Wissenschaft muss lauter sein. Das vertrat ich lange. Doch ich bin mir nicht mehr so sicher. Es ist alles gesagt. Und es hört niemand mehr zu. Alle haben ihre Positionen fest eingenommen; ein Großteil auf Zuschauerplätzen. Vor allem aber: Die meisten wissenschaftlichen Akteure wollen auch gar nicht.

Looks like Trump will get his way in Portland (and other cities), no matter what the courts decide. Biden and the Democrats had a chance at the start to overhaul some of the executive powers that could and would be abused by future autocrats. They sat on their hands.

A new book argues that when easy money ran out, Silicon Valley’s billionaires looked for someone to keep the good times rolling. They found him in Donald Trump.

What Really Drove Silicon Valley’s Shift to the Right

In Gilded Rage, journalist Jacob Silverman argues that a decade of free cash turned tech’s utopians into power brokers and made Trump their unlikely ally.

High resolution images from satellite and from eddy-resolving ocean circulation models point to an ongoing decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation, a key ocean current for our climate. Read more about it in my new blog article. 🌊

RealClimate: High-resolution ‘fingerprint’ images reveal a weakening Atlantic Ocean circulation (AMOC)

The #AMOC is the reason for Europe’s mild climate. Evidence that it is slowing has been piling up over the years – it now is likely at its weakest in at least a millennium, and it may even be approach...

This is how we sleep. Just cot beds in the underground bunker. It's getting very cold under ground, about 0 Celsius. Especially having a "shower" with wet wipes is getting more problematic.

Many people asked about the day-to-day life.

Ask your questions, will try to answer!

Glückwunsch an alle, die sich dafür eingesetzt haben!

Und Glückwunsch an diejenigen, die erst noch kommen und sich dann hoffentlich in einigen Jahrzehnten bedanken, weil sich die Menschen von heute für eine lebenswerte Zukunft entschieden haben.

Interesting study that likely isn't digging deep enough.
COVID-related deaths along with disability have never been tracked accurately.
Our local work force has been reduced by both. However, public health is not checking/disclosing deaths caused by COVID.

US research:

"COVID-19 may have created a new year-round baseline for work absences...similar to influenza season conditions before the pandemic"

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

"Policymakers should consider...policies & actions that mitigate the spread of #COVID19"

#LongCovid #CovidIsNotOver

Key Points
Question Following the COVID-19 pandemic, has SARS-CoV-2 circulation been associated with health-related absences from work and labor force exits?

Findings In this nationally representative cohort study of approximately 158.4 million workers, rates of health-related work absences remained elevated after the pandemic and were associated with circulating SARS-CoV-2 and subsequent decreases in labor force participation by absence-affected workers.

Meaning These findings suggest that COVID-19 may have created a new year-round baseline for work absences that is similar to influenza season conditions before the pandemic; policymakers should consider expanding interventions and data collection efforts to address the negative impacts of COVID-19 on the labor force.
