Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature handsoffnature.eu/take-action/...

Electric truck sales grew by nearly 80% globally in 2024 making up close to 2% of total truck sales

Most of this growth came from China, where new incentives helped strengthen its lead as overall progress stalled in Europe and the US

100% electric trucks: still special enough to mention it on the side, but already much more common than many realise!

youtu.be/OWVPYr9e76Y This is probably the best video by @anderspucknielsen.dk yet.
Even when he mostly restates old points he have made before, he is able to bring clarity to the motivations of Putin.
You should watch and follow.

For those who still think that electric driving is the future, China will tell you it is much closer than that - and yes that includes trucks.

Everything @anderspucknielsen.dk says is worth listening to. Great analysis, again.

It's hard to tell if the most agonizing thing about the Istanbul negotiations was Russia's blatant delay tactics, which seemingly worked on Donald Trump, or the excessive media hype about a possible meeting between Putin and Zelensky. In this video, I take a look at the diplomatic theater.

I'm going to go tell this joke 40 times to other people and count it as 40 separate jokes

I have a joke about carbon offsets but someone else is going to have to tell it to you and a third person is going to have to verify if it is funny while a fourth person argues that the second person was already going to tell the joke anyway
ewacat.bsky.social
what's the most specifically funny joke you know. as in, you need to know or understand a subject to get why it's funny. the dad joke of your speciality, if you will

Gebalanceerd commentaar van het @nrc.nl op de jaarlijkse dodenherdenking. In de 2 minuten stilte mag iedereen voor zichzelf bedenken wie te herdenken. Ik ga vandaag herdenken bij de alternatieve, inclusieve herdenking in Den Haag. #iedereengelijk www.4meinclusief.nl

Staat er in de voorjaarsnota iets over die zinloze verbreding van de A27? Er is volgens sommige bronnen 1 miljard voor nodig, andere bronnen hebben het over 2 miljard. Met dat geld kunnen heel wat dingen worden gedaan die wèl nut hebben.

carbon-pulse.com/383455/ Taylor Swift will back COP30 in Brazil, but it might mean UNFCCC starting to charge entry fees. I think this is a good idea, and a great and timely article!

In further University of Greater Manchester news:

We’ve been hearing that a campus lift has been out of order since the beginning of this year.

Last week, an unknown satirist placed a plaque next to the broken lift, saying it was actually an art installation called 'Ascenseur'.

Can you imagine what would be different if solar was built with this much battery everywhere?

☀️Less duck price curve
☀️Less new grid requirements
☀️Higher penetration of solar possible

€4.4 billion from the Global Gateway package will go to projects supporting a clean and just energy transition in South Africa.

It's a significant first pledge in the context of the Scaling up Renewables in Africa campaign.

I hope it will inspire many others to contribute!

The astonishing rise of solar:

📈In 2000 1 GW of solar was installed globally. In 2024 it was around 2,000 GW.

📉Over same period prices dropped from $130/W to around $0.2/W in 2024.

100% eens met deze analyse.

Also:
- EU is a good customer for US weapons and energy. Can't see Russia becoming interested in that quickly
- EU citizens are still friends of the US. By supporting Ukraine instead of Russia, US could (relatively) cheaply win over 40m more grateful fans. Russians will never fully trust US.

Totally agree with @peterjukes.bsky.social here. EU's GDP is 2nd globally at about $20 trillion (China's is $19.5 billion) according to IMF. Russia's GDP of $2.2 billion is about as big as that of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg combined. www.imf.org/external/dat...

"Over the last decade, emissions have grown, & climate targets have become more ambitious, yet the investments & costs needed to limit global warming to below 1.5-2°C did not increase..."

Hmmm, what has happened there?
