Was die EU nicht schafft, schaffen Brasilien, Chile, Kolumbien, Mexico, Spanien und Uruguay. Heute Abend haben sie eine Erklärung veröffentlicht, in der sie die Aggression gegen Venezuela als völkerrechtswidrig verurteilen & davor warnen das Land zu "führen", um seine Ressourcen auszubeuten.

I think this feels particularly shocking because no matter how much you stretch the law this has absolutely no basis of legality whatsoever. No terrorists, no "threat" requiring anticipatory self defence. Nothing.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Don't say the second when you mean the first.

I might have failed at my assignment from @fisherdanar.bsky.social to say what makes me hopeful about climate, but I think @frediotto.bsky.social and her team's work that would enable us to hold polluters responsible should be a source of hope.

Tune in to Episode 4 of the #COPOut Podcast tomorrow!

Seit 1900 hat sich Österreich um 3,1 °C erwärmt – mehr als doppelt so stark wie global. 🌍
Das bedeutet: mehr Hitzetage, Dürren & Starkregen.
👉 Klimaschutz & Anpassung sind möglich – und langfristig günstiger als die Folgen.

The US aggression against Venezuela is naked imperialism. All pretext has been exposed as farce. An invasion would cause tens of thousands of deaths. Every sane person must oppose this madness.

Africa’s forests have joined the Brazilian Amazon and Australian forests in becoming carbon sources rather than sinks. Around 2010 the previous storage of our carbon emissions flipped, mainly through deforestation and degradation.
