Hi, I'm a climate & energy researcher at #IIASAVienna (@iiasa.ac.at), doing database infrastructure & tools for integrated-assessment scenarios on climate change mitigation - see an example below.

I also comment on climate-(related) policy in Vienna (trying to stay clear of party-politics)

As urbanisation accelerates, cities are grappling with unprecedented pressures—from chronic housing shortages to streets overwhelmed by cars. In response, a small but growing group of leaders is matching the scale of the challenge—steering toward a more prosperous, resilient and sustainable future.🧵
People walk, cycle, and sit in a “Superblock” in Barcelona— an intersection transformed into a public space by introducing traffic calming, trees and plants, street furniture, and bike parking.

If only climate groups had the money and infrastructure to run a $20 million ad campaign, knock on 500,000 doors, and have 1,500 meetings with lawmakers, as right-wing groups do on just one bill to fight for fossil fuels.
cited as a major victory the passage this summer of the Trump administration's Big Beautiful Bill, a massive tax cut bill predominately benefiting America's wealthiest citizens that included deep cuts to clean energy tax credits brought in under President Joe Biden. The Koch political group ran a $20 million advertising and political campaign that it claimed "helped make this win possible through over 1,500 meetings with lawmakers, nearly 500,000 doors knocked, more than 475,000 phone calls, 725+ community events Land] over 100,000 letters sent to Congress." AFP presented the bill as a victory for fossil fuels. "It provides for a minimum of 30 offshore oll and gas lease sales, its analyst Burns said in an advertisement posted on the group's Facebook page. "And it makes available for lease four million acres of recoverable coal resources

I had missed this latest delirium by Adrian Vermeule on birthright citizenship

'Common law?! NAH, it's the Roman law of adoption that should govern the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution!'

thenewdigest.substack.com/p/immigratio...
What I suggest is different. Although broadly in the spirit of Aquinas’ two-or-three generations test insofar as it emphasizes the duties rather than the rights of immigrants who becomes citizens, it is derived not from theological principles but from a civil-law analogy — an analogy to the Roman law of adoption. After all, inclusion within “our posterity” may ordinarily arise not only through natural descent, but through legal adoption. In brief, I suggest that the legal immigrant should understand himself as an adopted son of a natural and concretely existing family, the American family, and this brings with it particular duties of filial piety and reverence for that particular family and for its thick heritage and traditions. Our laws as made, interpreted and applied should reflect that understanding as well. Because it is an analogy, not an identity, what I propose is not a set of legal rules to be directly mapped from Roman law into the American legal system. Rather it is a suggestion that the Roman law of adoption rested on a set of discernible principles of legal justice and political morality that represent the spirit of the laws bearing on immigration and citizenship in America — a time-honored mode of legal interpretation here, albeit not an originalist mode. Such principles should affect the interpretation of actually existing legal texts, rules, and doctrines; they should be understood as the soul of our law of citizenship. Needless to say, this does not answer or even purport to speak to all questions bearing on immigration. I do not speak here, for example, to the enforcement of the immigration laws against illegal immigrants, or to prospective questions of policy about exactly how much legal immigration, if any, there should be, and from where. All I address is the question what principles of legal justice and political duty apply, under existing law, to the immigrant who is already here legally. To that end I suggest a conceptual model for understanding the role and obligations of that immigrant — what justice classically understood requires of him.

„Der Klimawandel ist längst bei uns angekommen [..] ein klarer Auftrag zum Handeln“, hat Bundesminister Totschnig im Juni 2025 bei der Veröffentlichung des #AAR2 gesagt.

Trotzdem hat er die Mittel für Klima- & Anpassungsforschung im Jahresbudget 2025 (!) des Klimafonds noch immer nicht freigegeben…

Not disagreeing with your statement, but the point of that conversation is much more profound: what we perceive as fake news is highly dependent on our identity, and “more data” is not going to change what we believe to be true.

3. Leadership is about doing what is necessary, not just what is popular. Read literally anything our founders wrote about virtue, and the inherent risks to a society based on democratic processes to sustain the rule of law to the extent that unvirtuous people gain power.
