Liebe Leute, bitte, bitte bestellt eure Bücher beim lokalen Buchhändler. Herr Bezos wartet nur darauf, dass unsere kleinteilige, vielfältige Einzelhandelsstruktur kaputt geht.
Zahl der Buchhandlungen binnen fünf Jahren um ein Viertel gesunken
Schnell mal zum Buchladen um die Ecke - das wird immer schwieriger. Obwohl die Branche mehr Umsatz macht, gibt es immer weniger Geschäfte. Das Statistikamt nennt auch mögliche Gründe für den Rückgang.

It is a very good question! However, historically speaking, it seems quite a new phenomenon that the orbit of policy and politics is open for inspiration by intellectuals or scientists. It wasn’t the case for long, and some disappointment of the public may be caused by related misunderstandings.

This week, the so-called "Bauturbo" (buildung boost) (federal law) is set to be passed in #Germany to accelerate zoning processes. The problem: The law promotes urban sprawl and land speculation while failing to secure affordable housing. #Bauturbo

Top takeaway: the gap between alleged policies of “no net land take by year x” and the current rush for “build as you can” … seems bigger than ever. Don’t follow the whitewashers!

“If we continue, however, with the policies that we have out there, we are clearly on a pathway now of 2.7 degrees or 3 degrees where adaptation is simply not doable anymore. This is just what it is. We cannot protect Amsterdam from sea level rise of 3m. This is just not doable,” Thallinger said.
Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable
Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, says the climate crisis could make adaptation economically unviable.
