"Den som hoppas att världen ska inse klimatkrisens allvar när den bokstavligen står i brand kan komma att bli besviken. Moder natur ropar på vår uppmärksamhet, men hennes röst förvrängs av vår polariserade politiska kultur. Oeniga och vilseledda vandrar vi rakt in i elden." Av Daniel Lindvall.

KRÖNIKA: Det brinner i Europa – och folk letar syndabockar bland migranter och pyromaner

Opinion: The ability to remember you and your preferences is rapidly becoming a big selling point for AI chatbots and agents. That creates the potential for unprecedented privacy breaches that expose not only isolated data points, but the entire mosaic of people’s lives.

What AI “remembers” about you is privacy’s next frontier

Agents’ technical underpinnings create the potential for breaches that expose the entire mosaic of your life.

🧵1/4 Bra att detta uppmärksammas. Men att "Sveriges utsläpp minskat med 35% sedan 1991" stämmer inte. DN har själv i en prisbelönt granskning fastslagit att Sveriges utsläpp sedan 1990 snarare ökat. Detta pga vi bara inkluderar ca 1/3 av utsläppen i våra s k "klimatmål". www.dn.se/ledare/vikto...

Viktor Karlsson: Vänta, avskaffade Tidöpartierna just koldioxidskatten?

Nyss var alla för en koldioxidskatt. Nu har Simona Mohamsson, Ulf Kristersson, Ebba Busch och Jimmie Åkesson skrotat klimatreformen

Jason Hickel: "This new study finds that the total death toll in Europe during the June heatwave exceeds 20,000 people." "This result highlights the accelerating threat of mass heat mortality events in Europe despite previous adaptations to heat." Pre-print below.

The text of this tweet on X is quoted in my post above. It is illustrated with a heat map of Europe.

Yesterday afternoon 14:09 in Lacanau Océan in France. A pale red sun through the smoke tinged everything in Mars style orange. Welcome in the climate emergency! Despite all denial of the fossil fuel lobby, it’s scientific fact: CO2 emissions heat up Earth & make fires worse. 🔥🔥🔥

In France, 3 nuclear reactors have been shut down and 8 others are operating at reduced power due to the heatwave. Nukes produce and release enormous amounts of heat. Wind turbines and solar panels don't - just sayin'. Hey #ontario - let's go renewable! shrlnk.ca/s/BKj4CNrN

France heatwave 2026: Nuclear reactors powered down

The measure is an environmental protection requirement to avoid discharging too much hot water into rivers already warming from the heatwave.

Pretty obvious really - we don't need economists to tell us The UK is especially at risk - almost half of food imported and the 3 worst harvests in the last 5 years - resulting in a loss of a year's worth of bread supply Don't rule out some rationing www.theguardian.com/business/202...

‘Super’ El Niño could cause global food price shock lasting into 2028, analysts say

Weather cycle threatens harvests worldwide, adding to inflation already fuelled by the Iran war

Can expanding oil extraction be sustainable? The answer should be an obvious: hell, no. Unfortunately, not so for the EU council. If the EU parliament votes for this dilution, the EU loses the remainder of its credibility on wanting to fight climate change and shows how it bows to fossil capital.

EU Council Lets Oil Expansion Qualify For Sustainable Funds

Europe's proposed SFDR rules let expanding oil companies qualify as "green" investments, ignoring Scope 3, the bulk of their emissions.

”Det är här den tredje krisen kommer in, den om hur vi organiserar oss [.] Vi kanske inte ens först och främst är individer, eftersom individ betyder odelbar. Vi är kanske snarare ”divider”, det vill säga varelser som delar förutsättningar och värld med andra människor, andra djur och andra kroppar”

Jonna Bornemark: Det behövs en politik som vågar se vår existentiella kris

Existentiella kriser brukar drabba enskilda personer. Men med klimathot, demokratikris och AI-utveckling sker det på samhällsnivå.

Extremvärme i Indien – nyligen noterades 48 grader. Ny indisk forskning visar att enbart en dag av sådan hetta orsakar en överdödlighet på 3400 personer. 30 000 på fem dagar. Klimatförändringarna vi orsakar gör sådana värmeböljor vanligare, längre och intensivare www.euronews.com/2026/06/10/h...

Extreme heat causes 3,400 excess deaths per day in India - study

Experts warn that official heatwave death figures are grossly underestimated.
