Oh no! Not our beloved fossil fuel company doing something shitty.

No polarisation or politics about a murderous, child kidnapping despot attacking a peaceful neighbour in anger. Cristal clear to me.

”In 2024, 443 billion passenger-kilometres (pkm) were performed by rail in the EU, up from 419 billion in 2023 (+5.8%). This is the highest number reported by main rail undertakings since the start of the data collection in 2004.”

Får mig osökt tänka på denna studie.
“Political communication by mainstream parties plays a central role in the electoral success of the far right,” she said. “This factor has been underestimated.”

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

researchers found that as the far right moved from fringe [...] to topics such as integration and migration, mainstream parties had increasingly reshaped their communications to respond, boosting the spread of these ideas and signalling to voters that these ideas and stances were legitimate.

Avslutningsvis vill vi trycka på att vi som forskare inte tar ställning till enskilda kraftslag. Men när energiministern gör det, och dessutom med argument som går stick i stäv med vad forskningen visar, blir det svårt att föra en seriös energipolitisk debatt.

FN-chefen Michael Forst har träffat svenska regeringen för att diskutera behandlingen av klimataktivister. – Det gör mig väldigt oroad att man jämför fredliga aktivister med sabotörer, säger han till DN.

Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

Decent people thank Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Hand in hand, Kyiv 2010.

Global warming represents an existential threat to the EU, finds new German government report, co-authored by PIK. #Climatechange’s destabilizing effects will drive up migration & food prices, threatening economic & political upheaval in Europe. @politico.com

"När Ulf Kristersson var marknadschef och Gunnar Strömmer var projektledare tog Timbro emot pengar från oljebolaget Exxon Mobil för att sprida desinformation i klimatdebatten. Pengarna förmedlades via den amerikanska tankesmedjan Atlas Network"

Highly relevant also for Europe and Sweden, recommend a listen!
Atlas network funneled money to Timbro for spreading misinformation and sowing doubt where there is none!

Women and girls belong in science, and their inclusion fosters innovation.

In 2025, we join the United Nations to celebrate 10 years of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science—a key milestone in advancing gender equality and empowering women globally.

Så bromsar Wallenberg EU:s gröna ambitioner. Mats Engström skriver om påverkanskampanjerna och lobbyism: www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/B0n...

"Far-right populists are significantly more likely to spread fake news on social media than politicians from mainstream or far-left parties, according to a study which argues that amplifying misinformation is now part and parcel of radical right strategy"

Verifiably: right wingers are liars

Danish government plans to ban foreign donations to politcal parties. Every country in the world needs to be doing this ASAP. International broligarchy is coming. www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli... #dkpol

It's hard to convey how barrier breaking this is. Weather + climate people have always collaborated internationally, simply because weather does not respect national borders. Even during the Cold War, US + Russia shared weather observations.

To be told this is to be told to "stop doing your job"

In news to absolutely no autistic person ever, Bill Gates says he thinks he's autistic too.

När nyhetsmedierna anklagas för snedvridning kommer detta oftast från högern, som nästan alltid beskriver medierna som vänstervridna. Detta (och annat) skriver @jesperstromback.bsky.social och jag i en ny artikel där vi analyserat tweets över en tioårsperiod.

Nu råkade jag i farten skriva en replik (!) på en ledartext som tror att likabehandlingsarbete strider mot meritokrati. (Däremot har den rätt i att ombildning till stiftelser inte garanterar ökad akademisk frihet).
