Zou de titel niet beter zijn "Luxeproject hindert pijlstormvogels en reuzenhagedissen"? Dit zegt alles over hoe we denken over de natuur.

Ongelooflijk hoe weinig aandacht er gaat naar de #biodiversiteit crisis. Lente na lente zien we op het platteland hoe onze natuur verder ineenstort. Grote delen van onze landschappen worden steriel. Insectenpopulaties verdwijnen volledig. Broedvogels zijn er elk jaar minder. De buiten sterft.

English 'wood', Dutch 'woud', and German 'Wald' can all mean "forest".
However, despite their similar forms, 'wood' is not in any way etymologically related to 'woud' or 'Wald'.
'Woud' and 'Wald', which do have a common ancestor, are related to English 'wold' instead.

You can access the European cloud and sunshine data here.
The East-West difference in 2024 was quite remarkable. The extremely warm North Atlantic likely played a role.
Also see the figures for 2023, which didn't show this anomaly.

For veterans of the Eurozone crisis, this is quite incredible - today Greece has a lower borrowing cost than both the UK and the US for their 10 year bonds.
I had to check, all of the previous so called 'PIIGS' (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) have lower borrowing costs than the US today.

Always great to visit the Belgian National Park Scheldevallei where water protection goes hand in hand with nature restoration, recreation and heritage. And the only breeding place of black kite in Flanders 💚

Rising global temperatures can influence the timing of events, such as when crops are ready to plant and harvest and when flowers and trees bloom.
One example is the timing of the peak cherry tree blossom in Kyoto, Japan, where records stretch back to the ninth century — that’s over 1200 years.

"So we're not destroying nature..."
Musk is, of course, a barefaced liar. But he represents only the extreme of a basic concept that pervades ALL capitalism: rather than our delicate paradise home, the Earth is just a stockpile of resources to be mined for profit.
No idea is more dangerous.

Musk says Tesla needs to articulate "sustainable abundance" more often. "A future of abundance for all that is also sustainable and compatible with nature. So we're not destroying nature but you also get abundance for everyone on Earth."
