The Mediterranean can't stop climate change. Scrap net zero and embrace Sahelian life.
It is putting it mildly to describe these people as a death cult.
Sinko, zatem ko mu že 2tisočič zamenjam plenico, spucam noska, skuham kosilo, ga peljem na sprehod, ga dam spat in mu sredi noči iščem dudo: "mama" Sinko, ko prvič vidi medveda* v živo: "medved" *v zoo-ju

Naraščaj si redno izposoja knjige in me - ker še ne zna brati - sprašuje o čem gre zgodba. Bila je navdušena, ko sem ji povedal, da knjiga govori o velikanu, in malo manj, da gre o velikanu informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije
Če se vam zdi, da že dolgo časa rešujemo mejo s Hrvaško - Francija in Nizozemska jo bosta predvidoma letos po 400 letih.
France’s National Assembly today approved legislation that puts a Caribbean island’s border into law — nearly four centuries after French and Dutch governments agreed to divide it.
Lani smo za MNVP izdelal analizo podnebnih tveganj za slovenska mesta in ostala urbana naselja. Zgledovali smo se tudi po podobni nemški analizi. Nemci so analiziral vsa naselja nad 150tisoč prebivalcev, mi pa vsa nad 2000!
Sam pol bi treba ta nova večja mesta prvo postavit.
Za tiste, ki se zgražate nad tistimi, ki se zgražamo nad napovedanimi selitvami ministrstev na druge konce Slovenije, ker imamo namreč na voljo delo od doma: trenutna vlada je napovedala že omejevanje le-tega www.delo.si/novice/slove...

Kakšno leto nazaj sem tvital o tem, kako so podvozi po celi Evropi poplavljeni med hudimi nalivi. Ne da bi hvalil zokija, ampak da poudarim, kje tiči pravi problem: če imaš v mestih cele hektarje pozidanih površin - ceste, parkirišča, strehe - to ob nalivih pomeni neverjetne količine vode.
“Kanalizacijski sistemi niso načrtovani za ekstremne nalive, ki imajo verjetnost pojava enkrat na deset ali več let, saj to ni ekonomsko upravičeno.” Ljubljana s svojimi večkrat letno poplavljenimi podvozi iz being gaslit. www.dnevnik.si/novice/ljubl...

Nov "izviren" način rabe umetne inteligence. Pri javni razpravi o bolj strožjih pravilih glede vape-ov, je tobačni velikan Philip Morris s pomočjo AI napisal odzive "državljanov". Na ravni EU je bilo 30% vseh AI, na Nizozemskem in Portugalski preko 70%!
Turns out that tobacco multinational Philip Morris organised AI-written responses to the EC consultation on stricter rules for selling vapes. Over 70% of the Dutch responses were fully written by AI. nos.nl/l/2620686

France recorded ~1,000 excess deaths during the record-breaking heatwave this past week, with 85% of the deaths being people aged 65 and over. The sharpest increase are people dying at home in the Île-de-France region that includes Paris and its suburbs.

Že nekaj časa želim povedati to zgodbo. Družinska je. In zgodovinska. In mal tudi "cautionary tale" o tem, da obstajajo več kot dve plati zgodovine. Mogoče pa bo še komu zanimiva. Mislim, men je kar filmska. 1/24

How is this not The Onion
I can‘t figure out why, but I have never seen news stories about how oil rigs hurt whales. Only wind farms do that. And only solar panels have a recycling problem. Gas stations are fine.
