Striking animation showing the magnitude of glacier collapse since ca 1900 in the Alps! 🧊🔥
All the retreat you see here is caused by human activity, and it will only stop when the last cubic metre of ice has melted! 📈💧

ein weiterer warmer Winter - die Vorhersagen sind auf jeden Fall spannend
Winterprognosen waren auch schon mal leichter, vor allem dann, wenn eine eindeutige NAO+ Lage herrscht. In diesem Jahr gibt es diesbezüglich Störmanöver von verschiedener Seite, die Prognose stützt sich daher auf Analogien aus jüngster Vergangenheit: www.fotometeo.ch/winterprogno...

Danke Harald Lesch - eine interessante Perspektive. Der Grund ist vermutlich in Wirklichkeit, dass die Profiteure der fossilen Energien einfach das bessere Golf Handicap haben? Sieht ja man ja am Obergolfer mit der orangen Locke 😂

Maybe future #birdfair should focus on addressing the climate crisis & the devastation it will bring?
No Antarctic tours, much less consumerism & consumption, more education & campaigning on emissions reduction, more for families, plant-based catering etc?

The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality
The world bet on collective but voluntary action to keep global warming at a safe level.

588 PKW je 1.000 Einwohner sind Rekord: noch nie war die PKW-Dichte in Deutschland so hoch. Trotzdem fordern Union, selbst Grüne Spitzen wie Özdemir und Kretschmann noch mehr Autos anstatt konsequent kollektive Mobilität zu fördern, ersticken Städte und Infrastruktur im Blech von Einzelfahrer*innen.
