Wer sich im Kampf gegen Diskriminierung auf “Neutralität” beruft, stellt sich auf Seiten der Diskriminierung, anstatt sie zu bekämpfen.

🛰️ TROPOMI and other, upcoming satellites offer the opportunity to check if these changes will indeed lead to the envisioned reduction in air pollution from ships.

Thanks to all co-authors for making this possible!

🛳️These findings are in line with in-situ, near-coast measurements and indicate that MARPOL ANNEX VI - which regulates ship NOx emissions - is ineffective in reducing air pollution.
In response, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has announced ammendments to the regulations just last week

In the paper we show:
1️⃣ It is possible to estimate individual ship emissions from space.
2️⃣ These emissions follow a pattern: Newer ships, which have to follow more stringent emission limits, emit more NOx
3️⃣ Emission factors are highest for ships sailing slow

Got some hail in Central Germany

China built more solar power in the last 8 months than all the nuclear power built in the entire world in the entire history of human civilisation.

Fair point.
Sounds like you need a thermostat and do some experiments. Added bonus: more Glühwein ;)

Pretty sure the idea is to heat up to below the boiling point of ethanol ;)

Pepernoten are by far the best culinary thing of the Netherlands! Can't believe I missed out for 26 years of my life

I am incredibly grateful to my supervisors, collaborators, and everyone who I could share this special day with. I am very happy with the results of 4+ years of work and hope the results will lead to a more livable planet.🌍🚢
