Hittestress in de woning is een urgent thema. Wat weinig aandacht krijgt: degenen die het meest worden blootgesteld aan hittestress kunnen er het minst tegen doen. Hoog tijd deze dubbele ongelijkheid aan te pakken met een recht op koele huisvesting @jvtk.bsky.social www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opin...

Dit is zó erg, zo allesbepalend voor onze toekomst. En geen haan die er naar kraait. Als je sluitend bewijs zoekt voor de collectieve ontkenning dan is dit het wel. Politiek en media houden vast aan een wereld die niet meer bestaat, uit angst voor de realiteit.
Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought

Ik schreef een analyse voor ESB over de ongelijke verdeling van woonruimte (vierkante meters) in Nederland. Ruim de helft van alle huishoudens woont ruim, maar dit aandeel is veel groter onder hoge inkomens en huiseigenaren. >>> esb.nu/herverdeling...

Countries' carbon dioxide removal plans pose substantial threats to biodiversity, new research reveals. Analysis by the scientists shows that up to 13% of global areas of high biodiversity importance are allocated for land-intensive CDR deployment. 🧵

So the new paper… —finds that immigration economics is identical to other fields of empirical inquiry: researcher priors correlate with results —finds that the magnitude of this correlation is minuscule —does not mention the most prominent documented bias of this kind, from one of the authors.

A recent study by Dutch colleagues shows that a shutdown of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC could bring extreme drought to Europe for centuries. That is a thus far underappreciated risk of climate change. @swinda.bsky.social www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Fossil-fuel extraction massively outweighs critical mineral mining needs (quite literally) – We dig up tens of billions of tonnes of stuff every year to produce coal, oil & gas – Raw-material extraction for critical minerals would be a fraction of that, even under net-zero 1/2

Van dit grafiek wordt je heel stil! Door broeikasgassen houdt de aarde inmiddels 4 watt/m2 extra vast. Dat is 1 ledlamp per m2. En dat op de hele aardbol, 24 uur per dag. Onvoorstelbaar veel extra energie om de aarde mee op te warmen. En om steeds meer ijs te smelten. #klimaatveramdering
