Marine Lepen först, men sedan Jimmy Åkesson, har i tiotalsår använd sig av den retoriska strategin att så gott som alltid först säga något om brott och sedan om invandring. Med tiden behöver de inte säga att invandring => brott för att publiken ska göra kopplingen. Det blir en (lömsk) automatism.
High-income groups disproportionately contribute to climate extremes worldwide - Nature Climate Change
While climate injustice is widely recognized, a quantification of how emissions inequality translates into unequal accountability is still lacking. Here researchers examine how affluent groups disprop...

Lending money to Milei is giving a life-line to his libertariano-fascist lab.
Det visar tydligt att hans politiska agenda är rasistisk. Det har han visat länge. Senast med hans politiska attacker mot Woke och mångfaldsinitiativ (DEI) samt deporteringar av migranter och arresteringar av muslimer. Musk kan inte vara långt från detta ställningstagande om Sydafrika, förresten.
Note also the growth in production / consumption
Risk assessments are not necessarily followed by risk mitigation measures. One can use them to decide that taking an insurance is enough. Or managers can cross their fingers and hope to have left the job (with a bonus) before the s... hits the fan.
Fascinerande att se hur SD, år efter år, kombinerar ett vi-är-för-folket budskap men ett anti-folket politik och att det ändå går hem.

I will stop writting recommendation letters to my students who want to pursue their studies with a PhD in the USA (nearly always from the GLobal South). I cannot put them at risk.
Congratulations. This program sounds perfect
It is one of the definition of investments (sacrifice today for more rewards tomorrow) to promote growth. Always.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Trump team ‘survey’ sent to overseas researchers prompts foreign interference fears
The document asks US-funded scientists in Australia, the UK and the EU to declare links to China or projects on diversity, equity and inclusion.

Trumpomuskians are out chasing witches. I am at a safe distance out of their reach. How can I help my academic fellow threatened by their inquisitory obsessions?
May I remind everybody that while we hang on Trump&Vance latest provocation, green house gazes continue to accumulate and biodoversity to recess. Trumpism is organized diversion from the threat put on life on Earth by unbound capitalist extractivism - with extra masculinism and nationalism.

Avfall som samhällsreflektion – ny bok har landat
I en tid där hållbarhet och resursanvändning blir alltmer centrala frågor, har professor Hervé Corvellec valt att närma sig ämnet från en oväntad vinkel, nämligen avfall.

Putin får kol och järn i öst, Trump sällsynta jordarter. Ukraina behåller vete där det inte finns minor eller krigsrelaterade föroreningar.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

Fossil fuel giants and entrenched elites block climate action.

The notion of “green capitalism” is a contradiction. Real change demands dismantling entrenched power structures and embracing economic democratisation and democratic planning. www.socialeurope.eu/corporate-po...
