"All global modelled pathways that limit warming to 1.5°C (>50%) with no or limited overshoot, and those that limit warming to 2°C (>67%), involve rapid and deep and, in most cases, immediate greenhouse gas emissions reductions in all sectors this decade."

#Sufficiency

www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...
Limiting warming to the Paris Agreement targets requires rapid, deep, and in most cases, immediate reductions in GHG emissions. Net-zero is achieved with emissions reductions, as shown in the graphic. Implemented policies overshoot the targets.

I should go northern pike fishing and post less on social media. The season is best for that now. #FlyFishing

I can see the suit perspective of modernity. It is dangerous to unleash people in nature to fish without fossil fuels on their own, the populations being natural.

Things happen in these situations that are often beyond the bourgeoisie belief in the regularity of the world, as Amitav Ghosh writes.
I'm floating on the local lake in North Karelia.

Joensuu offers a service called 'Ilmastovahti' or Climate Watch, where everyone can view the progress made, the current target, and the steps being taken to reach it.

The pedestrian and cycling modal share target is 50 %, while it is currently at 45 % of all trips.

We should keep on supporting #Ukraine even if wealthy people have to pay more taxes and some of the inefficient corporate state subsidies would be reduced.

History happens now, we can affect it. There has not been a war in Europe since a long time ago as meaningful as this one.

”The value of this shipment is at an estimated 143 million euros, which will bring the total value of defence aid that Finland has provided Ukraine to 2.8 billion euros.”

We are with Ukraine until the end of the war. What ever it takes.

Finland prepares 29th defence aid package for Ukraine
The latest shipment will include defence equipment manufactured in Finland, according to Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen (NCP).

230K trained troops ready to go on a short notice is unique in Europe.
aarnegranlund.bsky.social
Thanks for the strategic insight, we have 230 troops in the fast reserve and the largest field artillery in northern Europe in Finland. We train some U.S. and other high-tier SOF in Arctic warfare.

The Russian Federation was never aspiring to be a real country among peers. It is the dominance hierarchy left over from the Soviet Union.

There are a million diesel cars in Norway, the poster child of everyone’s decarbonization fantasy. Why not start there?

Remove half a million diesel cars, let people use medicine without guilt.

Well, how exactly you caps lock U.S. account think the Nordic-Baltic Eight should deliver it then?

Minäkin olen pitkään sanonut, että markkinatalous ja jopa kapitalismi eli tuotantovälineiden yksityiseen omistukseen pääosin perustuva järjestelmä ovat kuitenkin sen verran hyviä, että haluaisin pelastaa ne niiltä itseltään.
antti.kaariainen.info
Joitain vuosia sitten Slushissa joku miljardööri totesi esityksessään, että tarvitsemme paljon nykyistä suurempia tulonsiirtoja, jotta voimme pelastaa markkinatalouden ja kapitalismin.

Olen samaa mieltä. Liian suuret varallisuus- ja tuloerot rikkovat kapitalismin hyvinvointia tuottavan mekanismin.

Defence is a further good reason to deploy #windmills. Especially good at catching cold winds from the Eastern front. #resist

The Finnish Defence system is ready for everything, at all times of the day and in all seasons.

What about Somalis? All of them take the Finnish military service which I must assume, you have not

I respect @juhalansman.bsky.social for sharing a view that we rural Finns usually see. He is from the highest north, where clear-cutting has still not perhaps destroyed everything.

Most of the bog-trenching efforts did not yield harvest forests suitable for pulp and paper production.

Tosiaan ennen kuin kartoittelin luonnontilaisia metsiä, niin kartoittelin (hyvin suurelta osin) hakkuuaukkoja. Ei liene mahdotonta, tai edes kovin haastavaa, arvata kumpi on mieluisampaa puuhaa.

Yeah, that's being built everywhere. I'm also pro-migration for folks who want to try the Finnish society

Aurinkovoimaa rakennetaan ensin. Tuulivoima kiinnostaa kunnissa kiinteistöverotulojen takia jo, eiköhän tilanne tästä muutu nopeasti kun asioita laitetaan eteenpäin.

This is what the Finnish Karelia has always been about. People in the capital tend to forget it at times, but we just keep on thinking, preparing, adapting.

The Soviet Union fell once, in a time before social media, in the early nineties. The nuclear weapons were not used. We did not get a huge migration mess in Finland then.

What are we afraid of this time? History is on the correct side with the Ukrainians. Give them more support.

Erikoista tuo, kukaan ole pitänyt miuta vasemmistolaisena Pohjois-Karjalassa eikä muualla koillisessa. Ehkä olen tietyissä asioissa tasa-arvoisuuten taipuvainen mutta niin on koko yhteiskunta täällä päin.
