Sogar im Atlantic ist angekommen, dass es sich um einen administrativen Coup von Seiten Musks handelt. Vielleicht könnte man deutsche Medien jetzt so langsam davon überzeugen, dass sämtliche Expert*innen, die das seit Tagen von den Dächern schreien, nicht hysterisch oder durchgedreht sind?
"Elon Musk is not the president, but it appears that he—a foreign-born, unelected billionaire who was not confirmed by Congress—is exercising profound influence over the federal government of the United States...It is nothing short of an administrative coup."

This is very, very important.

While the food system contributes about 22-34% of the world’s greenhouse gases — it only gets about 2.5-3% of the climate funding.

And most of that food system climate funding goes to the wrong solutions.

There's more happening to weather extremes now than can be explained by thermodynamics, i.e. everything getting warmer, evaporation increasing, the atmosphere holding more energy and water.
Also changing: jet stream, polar vortex, planetary waves & Atlantic ocean circulation.
