I've packed everything important for #ClimateArena in Budapest. Excited to meet new as well as familiar faces among European climate journalists. Watch out for the pub quiz and of course more serious presentations!

Wow, ich hoffe, im Angesicht der Weltlage, kümmern sich das EU-Parlament, die nationale Spitzenpolitik, die Agrarvertreter und alle Medien um meine Befindlichkeit!!!!

From a long weekend back to the desk: #ClimateArena is happening this week. I'll put finishing touches to my presentation and the pub quiz for climate nerds. Tickets still available :)

Good reminder - simple visualisation and regional data are great to communicate climate change.

How clear and simple data visualizations bring the climate crisis home

Climate change is a slow-moving disaster. We need graphics that capture both its pace and its impact.

Ich habe viel Meinung über die Teillegalisierung von Cannabis in Deutschland gehört - hier mal eine Übersicht über den Stand und die ersten Evaluierungen.

(Furchtbares Titelbild...)

Cannabisgesetz auf dem Prüfstand – Welche Folgen hat die Teillegalisierung?

Das Cannabisgesetz wird evaluiert. Erste Ergebnisse zeigen: Mehr konsumiert wird nicht. Probleme bereiten aber die vielen Telemedizin-Plattformen, die die Verschreibungen sehr leicht machen.

Barely a month before COP30, the main topic remains "logistics". There's barely been any discussion about what the US, which is set to leave Paris Agreement in January, will be doing to make negotiations harder.

You mean...like Germany? But as emissions are usually accounted for on production level (not consumption)...I guess this will not be taken into consideration.

Kevin J. CREATURE @kevinjkircher.com · 10d

Methane from US oil and gas infrastructure causes more climate change than the entire US buildings and agriculture sectors. It has surged since ~2007 when the fracking boom began. Nations who are considering importing US natural gas should think carefully about its underestimated climate impacts.

Kevin J. CREATURE @kevinjkircher.com · Jun 30

New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵

The math around H-1B visa and how the newly introduced fee will change the situation. (Gift link)

$100,000 Per Employee: How the H-1B Visa Fee Could Reshape Work Forces (Gift Article)

Because sponsoring a visaship comes with significant upfront costs, employers need higher-earning workers to justify the new expense.

Mal wieder viel gelernt. Die ganze Problematik ist wahnsinnig komplex, politisch unbeliebt und wird offenbar gern vertagt.

Met a woman who uses strava solely to track where she walked during vacation. And it's truly ingenious.

Das MoMA wollt eigentlich die wind map zeigen, die mit Daten der NOAA erstellt wird.

Really excited for the next few days in New York, the input during the Climate Economics Journalism Fellowship at NYU.

Who wants to see all the tourist pictures afterwards, please head to my Instagram... I'll spare you here

"Wir werden die Ausbauziele leicht zurücknehmen", so sagte es Friedrich Merz gestern bei den Deutschen Maschinenbauern mit Blick auf die Erneuerbaren Energien.
Merz macht die deutschen Klimaziele damit unerreichbar.

And, beyond the conference, I'm excited to go to Budapest. I've been there a lifetime ago as part of some roadtrip where I was lucky not to drive my sister's car to pieces. I don't remember much, except that it's a really beautiful city...

This conference (@journalismarena.eu) became one of my favourite throughout the year. Climate nerds from all over Europe - and I am very happy to bring a bit data nerdery into the mix. Together with Ciara, we will talk about what makes a good data video, from two worlds, TV and social media.

📱 Video is our preferred way to consume info about #ClimateChange, according to the “Climate Change and News Audiences” report from @reutersinstitute.bsky.social

However, climate data visualisation in video is often neglected.

#ClimateArena has a session for that! [1/3]👇

I talked about this, too, during #Scicar25 and was happy to see how many people where in the room to join the conversation.
