Erg interessant maar wat ontbreekt is burgers doen inzien dat het narratief v/d vervuilende fossiele industrie (earth.org/36-fossil-fu...) vals is & dat we alles moeten doen, incl. het steunen van NGOs als @milieudefensie.bsky.social, om deze ter verantwoording te roepen (www.vn.nl/klimaatadvoc...).

Thanks to @dansabbagh.bsky.social for this important interview with @avalaina.bsky.social but the UN Charter does not merely “urge” refraining from attacks. Article 2, paragraph 4 clearly states that all members “shall” refrain from the threat or use of force.

Dit raakt nog wel eens ondergesneeuwd in de discussies over moderne oorlogsvoering: de combinatie van high- en lowtech die een grote invloed heeft op het slagveld. Hier komt geen AI of dronetechnologie aan te pas, maar simpelweg de upgrade van 'domme' bommen. 1/4

Keeping promises on renewables, energy efficiency and methane ‘would avoid nearly 1C of global heating’
Analysis published at Cop30 summit shows adhering to pledges offer world hope of avoiding climate breakdown
Sticking to three key climate promises – on renewables, energy efficiency and methane – would avoid nearly 1C of global heating and give the world hope of avoiding climate breakdown, analysis published at the Cop30 climate summit suggests.
Governments have already agreed to triple the amount of renewable energy generated by 2030, double global energy efficiency by then, and make substantial cuts to methane emissions. Continue reading...

Removing CO2 from atmosphere vital to avoid catastrophic tipping points, leading scientist says
10bn tonnes of C02 emissions must be removed from the air every year to limit global heating to 1.7C, says Johan Rockström

Cop30: click here for full Guardian coverage of the climate talks in Brazil
Removing carbon from the atmosphere will now be necessary to avoid catastrophic tipping points, one of the world’s leading scientists has warned, as even in the best case scenario the world will heat by about 1.7C.
Johan Rockström of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, who is one of the chief scientific advisers to the UN and the Cop30 presidency, said 10bn tonnes of carbon dioxide needed to be removed from the air every year even to limit global heating to 1.7C (3.1F) above preindustrial levels.

Trump's erasure of Black history extends now to Europe. Not only was the recognition of Black soldiers who died liberating Europe erased but so was the acknowledgment that the burials in this cemetery were performed by Black soldiers for whom it was traumatic work. Read the whole thread.
