These cuts disproportionately target the arts & humanities: the Business School loses only three courses; the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures loses 48 – many of these are joint degrees, removing the optional breadth of study which has always been one of the appeals of a Scottish degree

“If the UK develops additional oil and gas production, that does not mean an equivalent quantity of production elsewhere automatically stops. It adds additional fossil-fuel supply to an international market." Why is this point so hard for so many to grasp? climateuncensored.com/there-is-no-...

NBC News@nbcnews.com · 4w agoIn a strategic retreat in the fight against climate change, the U.N. acknowledges that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst of global warming’s harms. So now the world must figure out how to get temperatures below the danger zone and back to safety, officials say.

Ah! Ein Comeback von Kohlekraftwerken! Wir schaffen offenbar jede Form von rationalem Denken ab, töten moderne Technologien und klammern uns an Lösungen aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Aber Schuld am Niedergang des Westens sind ganz sicher Migration und Wokeness. Klar.
Strompreise - Wirtschaftsministerium prüft stärkere Nutzung von Kohlekraftwerken
Das Bundeswirtschaftsministerium prüft nach eigenen Angaben eine stärkere Nutzung der deutschen Kohlekraftwerke, um gegen die hohen Strompreise vorzugehen. Ein Sprecher dämpfte zugleich Erwartungen.

"This problem presents a unique scientific challenge, in that by the time there is incontrovertible evidence of climate change it will likely be too late to halt that change." Any takers on the year? The country this was produced in? The body it was produced for?

Annie Leymarie@annieleymarie.bsky.social · 2mo ago"The capacity of European forests to absorb and store carbon is likely to have decreased by 39% in the period 2010 to 2030. This is due to disturbances that far outpace the ability of forests to naturally regrow and recover. Europe can increase its forest area but still lose carbon sink capacity."
