When trading partners undermine EU climate goals, there must be consequences

Brazil should ban X. In fact, every country would be better without it.

Most "climate aware" people I know vacillate between head in the sand denialism about the seriousness of the crisis and doomism. Very few people are actually advocating for the policy changes required to stop AGW. Somehow the notion of rapidly winding down fossil carbon burning has become something

Thank goodness for (these) unintended consequences - a favor Trump did not intend to bestow.

The world is consuming less oil & gas, thanks to Trump's war. That comes with its own costs (higher prices on goods, for ex.), but it's a gift to the planet. ....

"It’s not the result of a single direction made in some secretive ABC backroom: it’s the accumulation of thousands of reporting decisions made over the past 12 months, filtered through the national broadcaster’s attempts to skate through impartiality with mindless both-sides thinking." 🙏 C Warren

so macklemore saying “free palestine” is violence, but ed sheeran saying the situation in gaza is “catastrophic and unjustifiable” is totally fine? this whole thing is so fucking stupid.

„Es ist die Pflicht der Wissenschaft im demokratischen Verfassungsstaat, demokratiefeindlichen Konzepten wie ‚Ethnopluralismus’ und ‚ethnokulturelle Gemeinschaft’ keine wissenschaftliche Legitimation zu verschaffen.“

@fmichl.bsky.social im @verfassungsblog.de

Der „demokratische Pluralismus", den Stecker hier beschwört, liegt wohlgemerkt außerhalb der Grenzen, die das Grundgesetz der Politik zieht. Erinnert sei an die klare Positionsbestimmung im NPD-Urteil, wonach das Konzept der ethnischen Volksgemeinschaft
- nichts anderes ist „ethnokulturelle Gemeinschaft" - mit MenschenwĂŒrde und Demokratieprinzip unvereinbar ist. Es ist gerade die Pointe des demokratischen Verfassungsstaates, auch den Pluralismus, wie er fĂŒr freiheitliche Demokratien konstitutiv ist, in die Schranken zu weisen, wenn politische Konzepte darauf hinauslaufen, die Fundamente der freiheitlichen Demokratie zu beseitigen. Und es ist die Pflicht der Wissenschaft im demokratischen Verfassungsstaat - der Rechts-, der Politik- und jeder anderen Wissenschaft gleichermaßen -, demokratiefeindlichen Konzepten wie „Ethnopluralismus" und „ethnokulturelle Gemeinschaft" keine wissenschaftliche Legitimation zu verschaffen.

When will our Australian govts and news media realise that focussing their reporting on the Australians affected in a catastrophe overseas is racist, nationalistic, and devalues the lives of the people indigenous to the region? In every disaster event, I find this approach obscene. 😔 #auspol #media

An estimated 15 million people around the world are threatened by floods from glacial lakes, and the danger is growing as Earth heats up due to our continued burning of fossil fuels.

Check out this report from @rhersher.bsky.social and colleagues at @npr.org from a few years ago.
