[7/8] Le coût écologique reste absent des prix. Un passager Paris-Barcelone émet 187 kg de CO₂ en avion, contre 3,23 kg en train. Le trafic aérien a été multiplié par 4,6 depuis 1990 et émet près d’1 milliard de tonnes de CO₂ par an, soit autant qu’un pays comme le Japon.

[2/8] Les liaisons européennes montrent un écart massif. Le train est entre 2,3 et 3 fois plus cher. Madrid-Paris coûte 204€ en train contre 87€ en avion. Barcelone-Paris affiche 123€ contre 45€. Certains trajets atteignent un rapport extrême, comme 389€ en train contre 14,99€ en avion.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

A French ICC judge sanctioned by the US over the Netanyau arrest warrant says all his accounts with US companies have been closed, making it “like being sent back to the 1990s.”
“Without sovereignty – military, health, financial and digital – we can no longer guarantee the rule of law,” he says.

![What can governments do?
In the face of US sanctions, European authorities can implement the "blocking statute" [a mechanism used in the past that protects EU citizens and companies from the effects of sanctions imposed by third countries]. Europe needs greater sovereignty, especially in digital and banking matters. That is the only way to reduce the impact of sanctions and, indirectly, protect the victims of international crimes. Today, there is no room for naivety. Without sovereignty – military, health, financial and digital – we can no longer guarantee the rule of law. Some European lawmakers have become aware of these issues. Still, this awareness must grow among national governments and the European Commission, because behind the sanctions against the ICC lies the entire question of the rule of law.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5rxcpjus3ple6jpbuafvm4og/bafkreiflzi2b3svul3iq3omdpk3yl4kydla7cisw7ireldm7zne2majeoq@jpeg)

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.

I read this over the summer - quite the read! Thoroughly recommend for anyone working in climate especially on scenarios or overshoot. It’s a pessimistic read which unfortunately is hard to disagree with; not sure what to make of all of it but very thought-provoking.
