„Den #Dorsch haben wir verloren“ #Ostsee. Bald könnte der Fisch aussterben, warnt Meeresbiologe Rainer Froese. Die Bestände sind stark gefährdet. Deshalb wollte die EU-Kommission die Fangquoten senken. Das wollten nicht alle.

Ivory Coast: In Abidjan’s bustling neighbourhood of Abobo, ‘it’s Alassane or nothing’
In President Alassane Ouattara’s stronghold of Abobo, a working-class commune in Abidjan’s north, the incumbent’s supporters are convinced that he will win Saturday’s presidential election in a first-round “knockout blow”. FRANCE 24 spoke to some of the president’s most ardent fans about what three terms of Ouattara have done for the neighbourhood.

In the next post, Ketan says a trillion barrels of oil is 430 GtCO2. Every ton of CO2 emitted causes 0.00026 excess deaths between now and 2100.
Conclusion: unlocking an extra trillion barrels of oil kills 112 million people.
