Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.
Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.
What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.

This person has no idea how many people have died, or will die, as a result of shattering our entire global infrastructure for providing lifesaving assistance.
He did no analysis of those impacts before the reckless and illegal obliteration of USAID. These statements are made-up assertions.

”Finland can’t solve the US egg crisis”
The US has asked at least Finland, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands for eggs amid the growing bird flu-induced egg shortage in the US. Responses have been rather lukewarm.
The audacity of first imposing tariffs and then asking for help is kinda pathetic

If CDR only has a durability of 100 years (e.g. much of the CDR market today), it would result in 1.1C more warming by 2500 in a scenario that otherwise stabilizes warming below 2C. CDR with a >1000-year durability is required to stabilize global temperatures.

On The Climate Brink, Zeke Hausfather writes about how long CO2 removal has to sequester CO2 to be effective. The answer: millennial or longer time scales. This is one of the key reasons that TREES! (TM) is not a good solution to climate change.

Durability of carbon dioxide removal is critical for stabilizing temperatures
Letting countries or companies neutralize fossil fuel emissions with temporary carbon removal fundamentally breaks the math of net zero.

That leaves the climate movement with 2 options:
A/ Hide in the crowded, less-discussed policy backpack of the Democratic Party, and hope for the best.
B/ Rebuild the movement to foreground policies, messaging, and organizing strategies to engage everyday needs of working people.
I choose B.
