Godt om regjeringens forslag til myrforbud «så fleksibelt at det ikke er forbud i det hele tatt, men et veikart til hvordan man lovlig kan gjøre inngrep i myra man lovet å beskytte», modellert på den altfor svake strandsone-politikken @mariusgulbranson.bsky.social www.altinget.no/klima/artikk...

Regjeringens myrforslag er lite mer enn et skuldertrekk - Altinget

Regjeringens myrforslag er ikke det kroneksempelet på handlekraft som klima- og miljøminister Andreas Bjelland Eriksen forsøker å fremstille det som, skriver Marius Gulbranson.

Let's do some math. For this 💰, I get 2 top cargo ebikes (2 x €7,500), 7 annual public transport passes for 2 (7 x 2 x 12 x €59), 7 x two railcards including a monthly long-distance trip for two (3,500€ + 7 x 2 x 24 x €100), and I still have money for 200 taxi rides.

And I'll also save on gas, etc.

“Once rare, 7-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average sale prices surging 28% in 5 years to approach $50k.”

Designed-in car dependency, surging car prices, longer loan periods with more interest.

Sound like “freedom” to you?

Cars are so expensive that buyers need 7-year loans

Once rare, seven-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average auto prices nearing $50,000.

Air quality monitoring agency concludes that clean transport initiatives in Paris – including 1,500 km of new bikeways, conversion of on-street car parking to gardens, and lower speed limits on the Périphérique highway – saved France €61 billion over 10 years in reduced health care costs.

61 milliards d’euros, c’est ce que nous avons économisé grâce à nos actions contre la pollution de l’air !

AirParif conclue dans sa dernière étude que nos actions en matière de lutte contre la pollution de l’air ont permis d’économiser 61 milliards d’euros.

Soit des bénéfices dix fois supérieurs aux investissements engagés depuis dix ans.

Visuel sur fond vert avec le texte : Lutter contre la pollution de l'air c'est aussi agir pour une meilleure santé de toutes et tous : baisse de moitié des décès prématurés entre 2010 et 2019 et des maladies chroniques.

Notre combat pour améliorer la qualité de l'air, au cœur de notre ambition municipale, doit se poursuivre et s'amplifier !

C'est ce que nous faisons à Paris.

Baisse de la vitesse sur le périphérique, 1500km de pistes cyclables, plus de 155 000 nouveaux arbres, sortie des énergies fossiles, réduction de la place de la voiture, en dix ans, nos actions ont permis de réduire la pollution de 40% !

Et on continue !

Fun fact. Jeg har spilt NM-finale inni her hvertfall 3 ganger. Tapte alle 3. Den 4. gangen vant vi, men da var jeg på utlån, selv om jeg tror jeg teknisk sett hadde nok kamper til å få medalje.

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

We have truly not yet figured out how to cope with a person or institution that is "aware" of climate change, "accepts the science", but then decides to continue actively worsening it anyway

We don't even have a word or a phrase for this!

Mark Carney’s climate inaction is at odds with his awareness of climate change’s existential threat

Climate action no longer seems to be a priority for Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite his previous activism. This is bad news for Canadians and the climate.

The total amount of CO2 emissions along with other gases such as methane cause a certain amount of global temperature increase.

The more we burn fossil fuels, the higher the eventual temperature increase and worse the impacts.

The economy still runs on fossil fuels, especially in transport 1/

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.

Every bold urban transformation asks a question: what will people remember—the controversy or legacy?

Showing great leadership, Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-bak bet on the latter, replacing a motorway with a waterway.

Two decades later, absolutely no one regrets the decision or remembers the controversy.
