Only love can save us. And electrify all the things.
Great to see Novara interviewing Kevin. No-one else in climate debate comes close in terms of combining no-bullshit insight with walking the walk personally (not gallivanting around the world spewing emissions for peer esteem).

A moving story about Rizy Horowitz, who since the 1990s has put on events and served food to Holocaust survivors in Brooklyn, a group that is steadily dwindling. My father Gershon Glausiusz, who survived Bergen-Belsen, died last Monday at the age of 91. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/08/n...

Profit means nothing on a dead planet. "When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money." We're not separate from nature. We are nature.
This is the way. The numbers will improve too, as staff become more experienced. The next study of interest, of course, is the recidivism rate. I would expect that not yet to be Nordic.
