deeply wild clip of a fossil fuel economist on norway's state broadcaster claiming

- 3 degrees of warming is a "problem we can live with"
- Extreme weather is not a threat to human welfare
- We need to dig up Norwegian oil and gas to help 'poor Africans in huts' get rid of polluting cooking fuels

Hungary is looking for ways to bypass new U.S. sanctions on Russian oil firms, PM Viktor Orban said. The move comes after Trump, a close ally of Orban, sanctioned Lukoil and Rosneft in a bid to push Moscow toward a Ukraine ceasefire.

Netherlands Scientific Climate Council warns: under pressure from climate change, forests and soils are now taking up less CO2 from the atmosphere, accelerating climate change.

This graph says it all: instead of starting to go down, the *annual increase* of atmospheric CO2 is setting new records. We're making climate change worse at a record rate.
Turning this around should be our top priority, and it's not.

The Trump Administration Is Cutting Billions in Clean Energy Investments—But the Savings Are Overstated - Inside Climate News

Just days after announcing sweeping cuts to clean energy programs across the country, the Trump administration appears to be upping the ante—potentially clawing back billions more in federal funding. ...

Should also do. Tariffs are set by centralised power plants gamers not for the storage price of the electricity I have produced my self and will consume later. Tariffs of today are built for power deficit supply based on fossil reservoir, they have a problem when an uncontrolled excess occurs.

One could question the market: cheap tariffs would mean excess of non flexible production to be used by batteries no ?
