Different decade. Same tired storyline.

Nearly 40 years, and the media conversation hasn’t moved an inch. Not evolved. Not deepened. Not learned.

It’s f’ing Groundhog Day journalism.

Do better.

De bevindingen over de negatieve effecten van lichtvervuiling op natuur, gezondheid van mens en plant zijn ondubbelzinnig. Lichtvervuiling = bedreiging voor de natuur, vergelijkbaar met habitatverlies of chemische vervuiling. >50% van insecten is 's nachts actief.

Who could have seen this coming?

Carbon capture was never the plan, it was the comfort blanket: “Don’t worry, we’ll fix it later".

A story to delay real cuts while drilling rolls on.

“only” 8%
When it comes to rising electricity demand everyone talks about AI and data centres.

But their contribution to rising electricity demand is only 8% between 2025 and 2030.

The rest is largely electrification of transport, buildings and industry.

This says new @iea.org Electricity 2026 report.

It’s a eugenic, transhuman, anti‑human agenda he, Epstein, and other billionaires conceived and are now implementing.
The world has not yet realized that he is the 👿 himself. NASA as we knew it no longer exists; it's called SpaceX‑xAI. He has everything needed to expand his influence over the world. It’s about power and money, not a vision to contribute to humanity.
