More than a little alarming that the vice president of the United States believes burglarizing and bugging your political opponent’s headquarters is no big deal.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
På dag 5 med fortsatt dumping til tross for Høyesterettsdommen: Nordic Mining later som at de kan ture på, godt hjulpet av en passiv regjering. Men å forurense uten tillatelse, er per def ulovlig. Sender en tanke til fineste Amanda Orlich, som tok dette bildet og ville elska å få høre at vi vant ❤️
Fortsatt drift og deponering er et straffbart brudd på forurensningsloven
Gruveselskapet har nå ingen tillatelse eller noe annet rettsgrunnlag for å forurense fjorden. Fortsatt drift og deponering er da et klart og straffbart brudd på forurensningsloven.

For Americans, there is only one country in the world - the US. That makes Brits laugh at them, because they know it's actually two - the US and the UK.
In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry. Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances". Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.

New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social: Fifa's new "prediction market partner" is backed by the Abu Dhabi royal family, has no working product yet, is unlicensed in almost all jurisdictions and is run by a man who last year paid a six-figure sum to settle an accusation of insider trading in India.

Stian Reklev@stianreklev.bsky.social · 4mo agoJapan started its CO2 emissions trading scheme GX-ETS today, a pretty big deal with 300-400 companies. Though experts say its soft over all – no absolute CO2 cap and power companies get all their permits for free until 2033. Also a very low price cap/floor.

Rare Earth on R4 is one of the BBCs flagship environment programme's. Today's episode about the impact of sport events was fascinating, not in what is said, but in what it didn't. A near 1 hour programme talked entirely about climate impacts, barely a mention of the biodiversity impacts 1/3

Removall and CDC are expecting to sell the first ever certificates in France’s voluntary biodiversity market at a whopping price of €60,000 per unit – with one unit covering one hectare conserved over 30 years.
Months late, India published its climate plan today, but it seems ambition is slowing down. Target is 47% emissions intensity cuts by 2035, compared to old goal of 45% by 2030. www.pib.gov.in/PressReleseD...

Publication alert! New paper on international climate politics! Multilateralism is on decline and international cooperation is getting messier. International climate politics is full of public-private collaboration and informal intergovernmental organizations. How does this work? 1/2
