Voor een stabiele, veilige wereld telt iedere tiende graad opwarming. Meer droogte, honger, extreem weer.
In de huidige geopolitieke crisis en onder druk van Trump’s fossiel revanchisme dreigt klimaat van de internationale agenda te vallen. Dat dient maar één belang. Big Oil, en zeker niet het onze

1/3 In situaties van onzekerheid zijn analogieën handig. Maar kijk uit. Mbt de aanslagen in Berlijn is al op RAF, eerdere aanslagen van een gelijknamige groep gewezen. En op Rusland. Maar misschien is het toch wel weer iets heel anders: anti-tech terr (dus waarsch wel links, maar nieuwe vorm)..

Pulling climate data offline, canceling research grants, and de-funding scientific institutions doesn't just suppress climate information. It weakens the foundation we rely on to make good decisions of any kind.

You probably heard the US admin is threatening to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research: but did you know they already froze funding for the 9 regional Climate Science Adaptation Centers? From tracking invasives to helping tribes with drought, here's why the CASCs matter ⬇️
From invasive species tracking to water security – what’s lost with federal funding cuts at US Climate Adaptation Science Centers
The people who manage America’s aquifers, wetlands, shorelines and recreation areas rely on federal science as they face new and rising risks in a changing climate.

Nieuw onderzoek
De meeste gletsjers in de Alpen zijn binnen twee decennia gesmolten, verdwenen.
Slechts 3 procent van de gletsjers haalt het einde van de eeuw - deze onderzoekers gaan ervan uit dat de opwarming dan 2.7 C is

Current plans to tackle global warming will only save 3 percent of Europe's Alpine glaciers from disappearing this century, with most melting away within the next two decades, a new study has found.
Europe’s Alps on track to lose 97 percent of glaciers by century’s end, study finds
Stricter climate policies would save hundreds of glaciers in Europe’s Alps and tens of thousands worldwide, study finds.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

In other words.. #COP30, what a load of b*llocks!
BREAKING: #COP30 ends without a deal to transition away from fossil fuels, halt deforestation, or secure a nature package.
Modest steps fall far short of what’s needed after a year above 1.5°C.
The work is more urgent than ever – and it must be delivered.

More than 300 big agriculture lobbyists took part in Cop30, investigation finds
Lobbyists representing industry responsible for a quarter to a third of global emissions participated in key talks at the UN climate summit
More than 300 industrial agriculture lobbyists have participated at this year’s UN climate talks taking place in the Brazilian Amazon, where the industry is the leading cause of deforestation, a new investigation has found.
The number of lobbyists representing the interests of industrial cattle farming, commodity grains and pesticides is up 14% on last year’s summit in Baku – and larger than the delegation of the world’s 10th largest economy, Canada, which brought 220 delegates to Cop30 in Belém, according to the joint investigation by DeSmog and the Guardian.
