"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

Electrification + efficiency — not rolling back climate policy — is the real path to a competitive European industry.

High fossil fuel prices hit industry hardest, not the Green Deal. Undermining clean-energy commitments would only push investment elsewhere.

Why electrification, not repealing green laws, will save Europe's industry
According to Oxford professor of energy Jan Rosenow, rapid electrification of Europe's industry, not rolling back the EU's Green Deal, will save European industry.

Trump essentially said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. Those are dangerous words coming from the President of the United States, but I’m not going to be intimidated.

"No president in U.S. history has used his position of power to profit as immensely as Trump."

#Orban , #Putin , #Trump - right wing autocrats are highly corrupt and self enriching....

But how come their #MAGA fan crowds do not mind?

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.

People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action.

#ActionStartsHere @mayors4climate.bsky.social
Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

Russia is not going to stop until they are completely defeated militarily or economically. The West is going to have to get serious about the economic defeat. Having China bolstering Russia makes it harder, so the West is going to have to make some tough choices about sanctions on China.

Downunder's turn for giant hail.

'The Bureau of Meteorology said there were reports of hail between 6cm and 8cm falling at Tamrookum, Coombabah and Mount Tamborine. Hailstones up to 9cm in diameter also hit the Gold Coast.'

How the EU can act fast on Russia’s frozen assets

The best option would be for the European Union to use the 210 billion euros ($242 billion) of sovereign Russian assets it has frozen to help Ukraine. That would show Trump it is a player.

#Europe has only one chance to properly react to #Trump #28point plan:

1. Release frozen assets already now, fully for #Ukraine armament
2. Commit to stop all future weapon purchases from #US, if Trump ban's Ukraine from US Weapon and Intel supply
3. Develop Ukraine-EU counter 28p counter proposal

Ich denke, wir Europäer haben jetzt zu lange auf Trump gehofft, und immer noch zu wenig selber getan.

Wir müssen genau jetzt zeigen, das Europa auch bereit ist echte Opfer zu bringen:

- Frozen Assets freigeben
- Eigene Liftverteidigung schützt West Ukraine Städte
- Echter stop Öl Transit Ostsee

👍Ja! In diese Richtung gab es ja auch bereits einige diskursive Vorschläge. Ich verstehe nicht, warum sich Europa immer wieder einlullen lässt von einem US Regime, das offensichtlich Russland in die Karten spielt.

#Trump might be smarter than we thought.
He isn't looking for peace, he is driving dependency.

Think #Emerson power dependency, see:

#Europe is perfectly dependent on Trump, as long as Putin is in power.
#South Korea is perfectly dependent on Trump, as long as Kim Jon-Un is in power
