Godt fra @benedictebull.bsky.social. Å rasjonalisere er i seg selv ikke galt, men å velge seg ut de motiver og beveggrunner som en selv kan sympatisere med for å forklare (hele) handlemåten til en fyr som Trump, er intellektuelt meget sløvt og til dels farlig. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

Viktig innlegg fra
@benedictebull.bsky.social om Holviks forsvar av Trump, kopiert fra FB & lagt inn i tråd:

"Akkurat nå sitter jeg her og er sjokkert over sjefsøkonom Elisabeth #Holvik i #Sparebank1 sitt kunnskapsløse, historieløse og perspektivløse forsvar for Trump sin politikk i dagens #Dax18

There have been more grounds for impeaching Trump in the past two weeks than in his first four years in office.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

"En rekke begivenheter og temaområder, som skattepolitikk, prisreguleringer og mye annet beskrives på en måte som får manus til TV-serien «Atlantic Crossing» til å se ut som en tørr faktabok fra Universitetsforlaget." www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kom...
Boken som gapte over for mye

Takk for at du ryddar opp etter den mildt sagt spesielle innleiinga NRK hadde til dagens hendingar i Venezuela, @benedictebull.bsky.social. Tvilar på at det var ei politisk vinkling på innleiinga og spørsmåla, men det var iallefall ikkje lagt ned mykje journalistisk innsats der.

Ti år etter at verdens land ble enige i Paris om å begrense oppvarmingen til 1,5 grader, har vi allerede kommet dit. Forhåpentligvis kan vi unngå at det blir permanent. Men dette er ekstremt dramatisk. Akkurat nå står LA i flammer. Det er verre enn mange hadde spådd.

China is (by far) the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide
• China's emissions since 1850 are roughly equal to those of 27 EU states combined
• Fast clean tech rollout means China's CO2 emissions may already have peaked

For hver krone investert i fornybar energi investerer:

I Norge investerer vi 27 kroner i fossil energi.

Jepp, veldig viktig å få opp investeringer i fossil energi.
