Senkung der Luftverkehrssteuer?! Warum kommt ihr nicht auf die Idee "Bahn fahren wird günstiger"?

Schwarz-Rot verständigt sich auf Industriestrompreis, Kraftwerkstrategie und Senkung der Luftverkehrsteuer
Das Streitthema Wehrpflicht war schon vorab abgeräumt worden, nun konnten sich Union und SPD auf weitere Kompromisse verständigen: Der Industriestrompreis kommt und auch Fliegen soll günstiger werden....

Back from the CONTRASTS expedition (July–Sept)!
We studied 3 types of Arctic sea ice, revisiting each site 4 times.
I wrote a short overview here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONTRAS...

EarthCARE has enough fuel for a mission of at least 10 years! This is fantastic news for using EarthCARE for climate science and assimilation, and is much more than the 3-4 years originally envisaged! earth.esa.int/eogateway/ne...

Just over a year after launch, an analysis of the available fuel on board EarthCARE has revealed that the mission has the potential to remain operational for at least 10 years, more than double its or...

Heading back to Cologne from a very inspiring #ESA #LPS25 in Vienna on an ÖBB Nightjet. Really enjoyed the time I spent and chats I had with all the people I met. What was again the reason for flying?

2 weeks of #COMPEX-EC #EarthCARE validation with #Polar5 in Kiruna are over. We had 7 successful research flights with amazing data collected with our R&S suite. Stay tuned to see what we find when we dig into data.🧪 #remotesensing @unicologne.bsky.social @unileipzig.bsky.social @awi.de @esa.int

One week into the #COMPEX-EC airborne #EarthCARE validation campaign. 4 almost perfect matches between Polar 5 and EarthCARE. Let's see what the second week has to offer. 🧪 tinyurl.com/yc73n367 @awi.de @esa.int @unicologne.bsky.social @unileipzig.bsky.social

Validating #EarthCARE is the target for the next two weeks in Kiruna. Underflights with our cloud remote sensing suite of the satellite are planned with the Polar 5 research aircraft within the #COMPEX-EC campaign. Stay tuned! 🧪 @unicologne.bsky.social @unileipzig.bsky.social @awi.de @esa.int

Liebe Grüne, bitte stimmt dem 500 Mrd€ Sondervermögen nicht ohne Bedingungen zu. Stellt sicher, dass das Geld in grüne statt fossile Technologien fließt, in pünktliche Züge statt 10-spurige Autobahnen, ins 🇩🇪-Ticket & das die Leute, die es brauchen entlastet werden und nicht die Öl- & Autoindustrie🙏

Gleichwohl ist es nicht sonderlich hilfreich, den einordnenden Spiegel-Beitrag hinter eine Bezahlschranke zu stellen. Schon klar, seriöser Journalismus kostet. In einer Informationsschlacht kommt das allerdings zu einem anderen Preis. Und der kann am Ende viel höher sein.

CDU, FDP oder AfD muss man sich leisten können. Je mehr jemand verdient, desto mehr wird er entlastet.
Grüne & SPD legen dafür den Schwerpunkt bei Einkommen von 20.000-30.000 brutto im Jahr.
Berechnung: Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

The Svalbard Science Conference here in Oslo has just ended with interesting, though scary and alarming research results, showing how the environment and its inhabitants deal with the dramatic climate change in the Arctic.
