Fascists and Nazis always talk about peace and demand peace. Today, Mussolini (here: Berlin 1937) would have been a dear guest at many "peace conferences" or even at some Germany's talk shows. He would have advocated for "negotiations", "peace talks", and "freezing the conflict".

The primary energy fallacy: Critics of the energy transition often point to primary energy to demonstrate that the transition is going to be impossible. But most consumed primary energy is lost after conversion. The problem to solve is a lot smaller than primary energy

Hier was ik 3 weken geleden - toen was Al-mugayyir ook al doelwit geweest van grote aanval door Israëlische kolonisten. Huizen waren in brand gestoken, het bloed van een dode Palestijnse man lag nog op de vloer. Nu gaan de olijfbomen in vlammen op. rtl.nl/tv/fragmenten/…

Beelden uit #Tbilisi vanavond opnieuw indrukwekkend.

This is the heart of the Georgian people speaking. They reject Putin-Russia’s darkness and instead embrace freedom, independence and liberty. Tbilisi is alive and they clearly say no to the Russian law.

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️

One of the most ominous risks for Europe is that of a major change in Atlantic ocean currents. Recent science suggests it has been greatly underestimated in the past -including by me, having worked on it for over 30 years. Here my half-hour presentation in Vilnius a week ago!

Nearly 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are facing either emergency (IPC phase 4) or catastrophic (IPC phase 5) food insecurity and the amount of food aid from humanitarian organizations getting into the Strip is the lowest it’s been since October

Wij willen een hotel beginnen voor dakloze mensen, door dakloze mensen ♡ Daar is een startkapitaal voor nodig, een groot startkapitaal. Help je mee? We zijn een ANBI stichting en komt het geld niet bij elkaar, dan kun je je geld weer terug krijgen! hotspothutspothotel.nl/geefgeld/

Fascism is might over right, conspiracy over reality, fiction over fact, pain over law, blood over love, doom over hope.

Have you noticed that Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza & brutal repression in the West Bank aren’t newstories any more? The killings, famine, suffering of 2 million displaced Palestinians & land seizures, deadly raids, & 1000’s detained w/out charges continue - but no reporting

“But Hamas”

Journalist Evan Gershkovich lifts his mother, Ella Milman, as US President Joe Biden looks on, on the tarmac after arriving home at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on Thursday.

De vogeltrek komt al mooi op gang. Gisterochtend zag ik in het #HartVanDrenthe tientallen #ooievaars - Ciconia ciconia - hoogte winnen voor hun reis naar het zuiden.

"Earth systems scientists and climate scientists are getting seriously nervous. The planet is changing faster than we expected. We are, despite years of raising the alarm, now seeing that the planet is in a situation where we underestimated risks." ted.com/talks/johan_ro…

After 10 catastrophic months, the leaders of three western States - all permanent members of the #UNSC -, write a 21 lines statement on the Middle East and not a single word about the MILLIONS scarred by the ongoing atrocities and forcibly displaced over and over. Not a single

If you listen to nothing else tonight. We are reaching the limit of our adaptability to extreme weather and are already stuck with threats like Helene and Martin if we stop burning fossil fuels now. The planet is revolting under our feet. The time to act is now.
