Die globale Erwärmung wurde korrekt vorhergesagt bevor sie überhaupt in Messdaten ersichtlich wurde. Sogar von Forschern der Ölfima Exxon.
Die Exxon-Führung wusste in den 1970ern und 1980ern, was die sein Folgen werden, hat aber die Öffentlichkeit systematisch getäuscht.

The Financial Times has a thoroughly researched and well-written report on the risk of a major ocean circulation change in the Atlantic as a result of #globalwarming. Worth reading! #AMOC

Lasst euch nicht verkackeiern durch Scheinlösungen für die Energieversorgung!
E-Fuels brauchen die 7-fache Strommenge im Vergleich zu E-Autos.
Wasserstoff die 5-fache Strommenge einer Wärmepumpe.
Kernfusion gibt's nicht und wird es nicht geben bis wir 2045 klimaneutral sind.

2024 kam 🇩🇪 erstmals seit 1961 ohne Atomstrom aus. Was wurde gewarnt: Blackouts, Brownouts, explodierende Strompreise & Kohle-Comeback. Stattdessen war Strom immer verfügbar, die Preise sind stabil, mit 37,2% Anteil historischer Tiefstand foss. Brennstoffe & mit 62,7% ein Rekordanteil von PV & Wind😊

Good analysis of why fact checking on social media matters in a world where false claims are sticky + go viral so fast.
But no mention of how X + Meta have altered their algorithms to suppress expert accounts & factual info.
Fact checking on those platforms isn’t a level field. It’s a steep cliff.

Climate misinformation is rife on social media – and poised to get worse
Meta’s decision could open the floodgates to more climate misinformation on its apps, including misleading or out-of-context claims during disasters.
