“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

"You might think there's an easy, neutral way to compare the values of things: Just put them on the market and see what price they bring. But that method is not neutral. It tends to prefer things with highly accessible value. And when we use that method intensively, ...."

You might think there's an easy, neutral way to compare the values of things: Just put them on the market and see what price they bring. But that method is not neutral.

Warum diskutiert Deutschland das Ende der Wärmepumpensubventionen und die Möglichkeit einer neuen Gas/Energie-Krise als ob diese Themen nichts miteinander zu tun hätten? Die Energiewende & Elektrifizierung bedeutet seit spätestens 2021 vorallem Energiesicherheit und ist kein reines öko Anliegen.

Trumps Zoll-Drohungen zeigen: Die von der Leyen-Zusage für 750 Mrd. Dollar zusätzlich fossile Energie in den USA zu kaufen, war ein irrer Fehler. Eine weitere Erpressbarkeit ist entstanden. Wir müssen uns von fossilem Gas & Öl befreien. Wärmepumpe und grünen Wasserstoff verbreiten statt ausbremsen!

Die Grafik zeigt die Entwicklung der Flüssiggasimporte (LNG) aus verschiedenen Ländern in die EU. Der Anteil der USA ist von rund 25% in 2021 auf 60% in 2025 gestiegen.

Trump to the UN: "The 'carbon footprint' is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions, and they're heading down a path of total destruction."

Great initiative by Wiley! The publisher has started marking retracted papers in reference lists. When you click on the retraction notice, you can also see the date and reason for the retraction. All publishers should adopt this practice. But also screen references during submission.

Spent the last two weeks, first, making this mess and now, building up something that already looks like a room. 💪 Of course not alone... And quite a welcoming change to working only on the computer... Still quite some screen time, reaching about insulation, cable thickness, and network cables...

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

The camp is to filter out workers for Trumps new Slavery policy where he sells them to businesses. He says so in this video Make Americans Slaves Again
