Spannend, dass sie das mit Sorge um eine analoge Reaktion verbindet, sobald eine anti-fossile Regierung wieder an der Macht ist

"Die Mehrheit in diesem Land ist rechts, aber bekommt trotzdem eine linke Politik" – dieser Satz ist also nicht analytisch gemeint, sondern strategisch. Er ist nicht da, um etwas zu beschreiben, sondern um etwas zu planen.

CDU-Politiker: Der schwarz-blaue Sehnsuchtssatz
"Die Mehrheit ist rechts, aber bekommt trotzdem linke Politik" – diese Formel wiederholen CDU-Politiker gerade auffällig oft. Dahinter steckt eine gefährliche Strategie.

"If we want different results, we have to abandon standard practice."

YES.

Finally, someone put together what I and many other critics have been saying about political coverage — then took it further. reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/harm-reducti...

I'm writing today to share some (rare) good climate news!

New research released today by @energy.iisd.org @oilchange.bsky.social @foeus.bsky.social shows that members of the Clean Energy Transition Partnership have cut their international public finance for fossil fuels by up to 78%.

CHOTINER: So as I understand it, your argument is that you couldn't break your soldier's oath to the Fuhrer?

GERMAN GENERAL: Honor would not stand for it.

CHOTINER: What confuses me, though, is that you swore the same oath to the Weimar Republic.

Unter anderem wegen diesem Chart. Ich dachte zuerst, dass das doch nicht heißen kann, dass sie einfach den Ausspruch "great quarter, guys!" in earnings calls gezählt haben, wahrscheinlich irgendein Insider, den nur Finanzmarktprofis verstehen, aber nein, genau das haben sie getan.

I haven't seen any independent observers say that China's NDC is strong.

But it's pretty rich of the EU to criticise the target when it couldn't even get its house in order to publish a NDC in time for the UN's deadline (which has already been extended!).

China's new climate target 'falls well short,' EU says
China's new climate pledge "falls well short" and will make it harder to reach global targets to slow climate change, the European Union's climate chief said on Thursday, as the bloc struggles to agree its own emissions-cutting goal.

My reading is that this is a set of targets prepared by a conservative bureaucracy that Xi did not choose to override this time. It should be seen as a floor, not a ceiling, for China's ambition.

Xi Jinping announced China's new climate targets personally, a positive gesture, but the targets brought little clarity on China’s future emission pathway. Targeting a 7-10% emission reduction by 2035 from an undefined "peak level" undersells China's current clean energy boom.

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong".

Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

As China prepares to publish its emission reduction targets for 2035, likely the most significant climate announcement of the year, here is a chart to compare the target to what needs to happen under different global climate targets.

experiencing space, mobility, and geographical distance in interesting ways while travelling to the EAEPE conference in Greece. one way by train and ferry, one way by plane (and train). comparing pure travel time and cost alone is crazy, the experience probably even more

The amsonia is still bright green — no fall color yet.
