IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

Yet EU carmakers are pressuring lawmakers to treat these cars as clean under the guise of ‘technology neutrality’.

Marine heatwaves modulate food webs and carbon transport processes - Nature Communications
A decade of BGC-Argo and plankton records shows North Pacific heatwaves reshape food webs and trap small particles in midwater, slowing deep-ocean carbon export. Impacts vary by event, underscoring the need for sustained ocean monitoring.
