Erinnert Ihr Euch an den Taxifahrer in Leoben, über den ich vor zwei Wochen berichtet habe? Die Polizei ermittelt im Zusammenhang mit dem brutalen Überfall samtig Sieg-Heil-Rufen nicht gegen Unbekannte. Sie ermittelt gegen Männer, über die wir seit Jahren schreiben. (1)

Meine neue Kurzstudie zu #KI-Chatbots und politischer Manipulation zeigt: Vier von fünf große KI-Modelle liefern fundierte, ausgewogene Analysen. Nur Elon Musks SuperGrok empfiehlt die #AfD , auf Basis verzerrter Quellen. Eine Gefahr für die #Demokratie: 🧵 www.diw.de/documents/pu...

Die Idee, die SPD hätte massiv Wähler:innen an die AfD verloren dominiert weiter den politischen Diskurs. Sie ist schlicht falsch. Mit dem Panel der GLES sieht man bspw. dass nur 11% der 2013 SPD-Wähler:innen 2025 AfD gewählt haben. Diese Tatsache muss doch mal in Politik und Medien ankommen.

Just out: Our new paper addressing urgently needed clarity for the Paris Goals, given the imminence of the 1.5°C-crossing of the long-term global surface temperature anomaly. These results further underscore the need for deep & rapid emission reductions worldwide.

Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change@wegenercenter.bsky.social · last yr.

Anthropogenic global warming is set to exceed 1.5 °C already by 2028 and hence improved quantification of the Paris goals is proposed. This is based on a new benchmark timeseries from 1850 to 2034 that tracks global surface air temperature change. Paper out now in Nature Comms Earth & Environment 👇

Pretty much exactly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the richest man in the world uses the Nazi salute at the inauguration of his close ally as US president. What should rationally not be surprising is still so deeply shocking and simply difficult to comprehend.
