Let's be clear-eyed about what this is.

The United States is pushing for regime change in Europe, supporting the far right in their efforts to take power in the next elections. As a result, they're polling in 1st place in Germany, France & UK

And our centrist leaders pretend it's not happening.

America is pursuing regime change in Europe

The far-right candidate won yesterday's presidential election in Poland, thanks at least in part to help from the Trump regime. Centrist EU governments need to realise America wants them out.

Oh, USA, please don't destroy your science... (in the short term Europe might benefit, but on the long the the whole globe will suffer if the USA scientific powerhouse is lost)

Carl T. Bergstrom @carlbergstrom.com · 1d

I've been on the road so I'm behind the times—but if you wanted to destroy US science, I can think of no more expedient action.

Blatant unconstitutionality aside, fuck this backwards forwards and sideways.

The Securing American Funding and Expertise from Adversarial Research Exploitation (SAFE) Act would deny federal funding to any U.S. scientist who collaborates with anyone “affiliated with a hostile foreign entity,” a category that includes four countries: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.

Koko syksyn on ollut lämmin, marraskuun ennuste lämmintä (pientä ensi viikon kylmää sykähdystä lukuunottamatta), ja nyt vuodenaikaisennuste lämmintä. Ainakin siis etelä-Suomessa. Sadanta normaalilla tasolla, eli tarkoittaa että pimeää ja märkää riittää. Tätä se ilmastonmuutos on konkreettisesti. 2/2

Hyvin suurella todennäköisyydellä voi nyt sanoa että tästä tulee lämmin talvi.

"vuodenaikaisennusteen mukaan joulukuusta helmikuuhun on odotettavissa:

Jakson keskilämpötilan ennustetaan olevan koko maassa selvästi pitkän ajan keskiarvon yläpuolella."

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids

Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

It's also a solutions problem. Contrary to generalisations, many low-carbon 'poor' people live very good lives. In non-financial terms their lives may even be richer than the high-carbon lives of those with money.

There's a lot to be learned from the 'poor' - if only they could be heard.

Things are moving very fast in UK politics, could be big changes soon. Who knows what happens and what the consequences are..

This is a real inequality problem, especially as most of the consequences of climate change (impacts etc) are affecting the "poor" disproportionately more.

Graham Caswell @grahamcaswell.bsky.social · 2d

This inequity is much bigger than COP access. The entire climate conversation seems dominated by the people (including professional 'campaigners') who use the most carbon. Those who use the least carbon (i.e. 'the poor') hardly get a word in. That's probably why so much 'action' is performative.

Jen Iris Allan @jenirisallan.bsky.social · 3d

Huge COPs are an equity issue.

We don't hear marginalised voices above the din of who can afford the pavilions, flights, comms teams, or hosting.
