Once a leader on climate action, the EU has given in to the right’s green-bashing. From deforestation to carbon pricing, vital policies are being watered down in the name of ‘competitiveness’. But Europe is shooting itself in the foot. My piece @theguardian.com

Almost universal across the west. Voters have never had it so good. But they feel more was promised. And isn't just the cost but the difficulties of life, and the sense of a class that doesn't face these.

Two very telling graphs on the effects of social media on the public conversation - one from @skynewsrss.bsky.social showing how X is amplifying right-wing politics in the UK, one from Germany showing how TikTok is enhancing far-right _and_ far-left content.

Part of free speech is that no one is obligated to listen to you. Not listening is in itself a form of speech!
I’ve been extremely online since I was 8, and that experience has led me to pretty strongly believe that being able to choose not to engage socially with people in public settings - which includes the Internet - for ANY REASON is a fundamental human right

Eppure nel 2014 lo stesso Sachs descriveva Maidan come una “rivolta di massa contro un regime corrotto” e la Russia come una “grave violatrice del diritto internazionale”. Oggi sostiene l’esatto contrario. Cosa è cambiato?

This is an excellent explainer of Finnish land use and its problems in climate policy.
The bioenergy and pulp/paper model of industrial forestry has other drastic environmental consequences in addition to climate impacts, especially in wetland forests.

Finland has a goal to be net zero GHG emissions by 2035.
Emissions were declining, the LULUCF removals were strong, the plan was looking good, but then LULUCF collapsed.
Net GHG emissions have actually risen over the last decade!

How much clearer can Zagreb and Belgrade's shared malign agenda towards Bosnia be made than "Dodik's US lobbyist is advocating for Covic's third entity."
And if you're wondering if this "third entity" thing has ever been tried before? Yeah, it has.
