The meat lobby works hard to influence politicians, and it is no great surprise that it works.
Farmers are a very small minority in the EU, but they have many "good" friends.

Temperaturen i havvandet omkring New Zealand stiger hurtigere end noget andet sted i verden, ifølge landets miljøministerium.
Undersøgelsen viser, at temp. stiger 34% hurtigere end det globale gennemsnit, hvilket gør det vanskeligt for dyrearterne at nå at tilpasse sig.

Always a good reason to share positive studies that include both biodiversity and climate.

The European bison is a climate hero increasing the carbon storage in the woods significantly but also a key species that have a huge positive impact on the insects, plants and other species💚

Bestanden af løver i Afrika er tæt på halveret på kun tre årtier, og det majestætiske dyr har mistet mere end 90 procent af sine levesteder.

WWF’s langsigtede mål er at vende den nuværende tilbagegang og fordoble bestanden af vilde afrikanske løver til 40.000 inden 2050.

Tak til alle dem (@klimabev.bsky.social ), der mødte op til Folketingets åbning i dag og gjorde politikerne opmærksomme på at den opdaterede Klimalov skal være ambitiøs.

Husk at der i klimalovens første paragraf står der, at Danmark skal være et foregangsland i den internationale klimaindsats.

Fantastisk nyhed på fuglefronten.

231 havørneunger er i år kommet på vingerne, og det er ifølge landets ornitologer ny rekord for en ynglesæson.

Dejligt med en god nyhed fra den skrantende danske natur.

I don't think it would be a bold statement to say that China's 2035 goal of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 7 percent to 10 percent from peak levels is what you would call a defensive statement...

Good morning with good news: China's wind & solar surged 29.4% to 1552 TWh in January-August 2025, compared to 1199 TWh in 2024.

W&S generated 22.5% of China's electricity January-August, up from 18.2% in 2024 and 9.7% in 2020.

W&S gained 4.3 points of share in 1 year! Incredible!

Thanks a lot for answering and sharing I really appreciate it.

We are changing the world with our eyes open every day.

This will affect both current and future generations, but it will not affect everyone equally - the vulnerable countries, but also the vulnerable citizens of the global south as well as the global north will be most affected.

So time to act!

Hannah Daly @hannahdaly.ie · 6d

The best guess of climate experts at this Overshoot Conference is that - in an optimistic scenario - we return to 1.5C (where we are now) in 7 generations time.

That's about the same distance from now as the start of the Industrial Revolution.

OK make sense, so my last question is after you have narrowed down the models, can you based on data from e.g. 2020-2025 see if some are more likely to reflect the development than others and if so what are they suggesting for 2030, 2040 etc.
It's a huge Q but perhaps you have an indication 🙂

Ingen stor overraskelse her.
Tre-partens fokus var fra starten CO2 reduktion men i stedet endte den med at fokusere på kvælstofreduktion, der allerede var en del af landbrugsaftalensom selvfølgelig også er vigtig.
Men fokus på den nødvendige reduktion af den animalske produktion er belejligt udeladt

Thanks, but then I believe that some had to be "harmonised" more than others, and could that give a hint about their reliability?
