Maybe this will finally get politicians to care about climate change: “The brutally hot summer is set to cost the EU economy €180 billion this year — that’s equivalent to roughly 1 percent of GDP, which is all the growth the bloc was expected to generate in 2026, according to new analysis.”
Europe’s scorching summer is erasing its economic growth, says report
Dutch growth is set to be almost entirely wiped out, and France could be pushed into a contraction.

Mens BT og @ing.dk gør deres for at nedtone klimaforandringernes sammenhæng med skovbrandene i Sydeuropa - bl.a. ved at bruge Bjørn Lomborg som klimaekspert/-forsker (han er politolog) - skulle vi så ikke se på, hvad forskerne ved World Weather Attribution siger om brandene? ->

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

And today SAS, owned 25% by the Danish state, announced a record investment of $10bn in new longhaul aircraft, citing an expected growth of +60% towards 2030. For me this is lose-lose: Either the climate loses or I do (as a taxpayer), as climate action -> higher costs -> lower demand. #dkpol #dktrp

I really liked Jeff's thread, but as one of the early originators of the carbon footprint concept, I want to address this misconception because I've heard it often.
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · 2mo agoI just learned that the term "carbon footprint" was developed by BP to offload responsibility for climate change onto individuals. Something like that's happening in higher ed with AI. Institutions capitulate or dodge; students are submitting; & they believe it's their individual failing. 7/

Our croplands produce enough calories to feed 14.5 billion people! BUT 40% of the calories go to livestock — who produce just 5% of our calories, while making 15% of all planet-heating pollution. drawdown.org/insights/we-... Precision fermentation lets us change the math, and feed more people.

Meget enig i Claus Meyers pointer her. Der har været stor opstandelse over Københavns Kommunes indsats for mindre kød i de offentlige måltider.

Our new statement urges countries not to weaken ambition w/ revised "temperature neutrality" goals & metrics that justify them. Methane is a powerful lever, and high-emitting countries can do more than simply keep emissions stable. We have the tech & knowledge insideclimatenews.org/news/2005202...

Concentrations of methane in the atmosphere are ~2.5x higher than before industrialization. Deep cuts in methane now are key, and we'd see results quickly. Yet efforts from high-emitters continue to attempt to push for sketchy accounting that allows the opposite, via GWP* methanescience.org
