Samen met de bedenking dat het klimaat geen ene fuck geeft om het relatieve belang van hernieuwbaar is dit een enorm ontnuchterende grafiek. Logisch (?) dat de ceo’s van de chemie nog rap hun zakken willen vullen, maar totaal onverantwoord.
Ontwikkeling mondiale power productiemix tot 2030. Kolenstroom blijft aan top, maar daalt (een beetje). Groei van zon, wind, aardgas en kernenergie (in die volgorde).

Tien jaar lang zal de Vlaamse regering jaarlijks 200 miljoen euro extra steun geven aan de industrie. Dat moet bedrijven helpen te elektrificeren en hun CO₂-uitstoot te verminderen. “Het is cruciaal voor onze welvaart dat de industriële motor weer aanslaat.”

Israel has suddenly accepted the official Gaza death toll.

That's after over two years of claiming that it's 'Hamas propaganda'.

The truth? The figure is so much higher 👇

Incredible interview from @socialistdogmom.bsky.social with @letsgomathias.bsky.social.

There's a direct line from the demonization of antifascists to the recent murders in Minneapolis - the far-Right is hoping to grease of wheels of mass repression and state organized murder. Read the book!

An AI that cooks the planet is all but intelligent.
i was actually shocked to see the numbers on new research from Global Energy Monitor on new gas projects in the US: nearly 100 gigawatts of power—enough to power tens of millions of homes—are currently in development explicitly to power data centers. At the end of 2023 that number was 4 gigawatts
Data Centers Are Driving a US Gas Boom
Gas projects in the US pipeline explicitly linked to data centers increased by almost 25 times over the past two years, according to new research from Global Energy Monitor.

Climate scientists are also obsessed with Greenland, not because of the Mercator projection, but because the melting of the Greenland ice sheet is going to raise sea levels significantly, change ocean circulation, and be generally very bad for humanity.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.

I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Since there are a lot of people insisting that protests don't matter and the Trumpists can simply ignore public opinion: I just wrote about why this idea that authoritarian regimes are impervious to public pressure is very wrong and basically just perpetuates the regime's assertion of inevitability:
The Limits of Violent Authoritarianism
Trump’s authoritarian desires are boundless. But the past year proves that his ability to impose them on America is not.

Eens. Als je nu als overheid, mediakanaal, bedrijf of instelling wel op X communiceert en niet minimaal ook op Bluesky of Mastodon, zeg je daarmee in wezen dat je alleen (radicaal-) (extreem-) rechtse (en/of gewoon uiterst domme) burgers als je doelgroep beschouwt.
en overheden bedrijven en instanties moeten stoppen met gebruik van twitter / X. Ongelooflijk hoeveel er nog steeds gebruik van maken om met het publiek te communiceren, dat terwijl het publiek daar voornamelijk rechtse gekkies en wappies zijn.

Every person on Bluesky should know:

* Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies
* Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured
