A UBI-like program in Indonesia reduced deforestation by 30%. A new 2-yr pilot will evaluate how rainforests can be saved by UBI by directly reducing Indigenous people's poverty. Early result: "Trees are no longer being cut down; people are preserving the trees."

The Haitian “zombie” folklore and mythology entered white American cultural consciousness during the 1920s-30s, that is, during the U.S. military occupation of Haiti.

Vergeef niet: Geert Wilders vond de overwinning van Trump positief. Geen idee waarom want Henk en Ingrid gaan het voelen in de portemonnee.
Het grootste deel van de PVV stemmers zelf stond overigens achter Kamala Harris.
Ook weer een bewijs dat Geert er voor iedereen behalve Henk en Ingrid is dus.

Many modeling studies depend on direct air capture (DAC) in their 1.5°C stabilization scenarios, but they rely on overly optimistic assumptions regarding the cost and scaling of DAC systems. This leads to highly misleading results that impact the ability to reach climate stabilization goals.
Reality check on technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the air
An MIT Energy Initiative study finds many climate-stabilization plans are based on questionable assumptions about the future cost and deployment of “direct air capture” and therefore may not bring abo...

Yes, if scientists can stop us from emitting 40+ billion tonnes of CO₂ every year.
No amount of CO₂ removal, solar radiation modification, or synthetic fuels will help unless we stop burning fossil fuels.

The claim that we can respond to the climate crisis without lifestyle changes is a purely political statement - after all, if we don't change our lifestyles they'll be changed for us. But it's important to recognise that our lifestyles are changing all the time, in multiple ways.
The UK's new NDC pledges to cut emissions 81% by 2035. PM Starmer claims this can happen without lifestyle changes.
In The Conversation, CCAG's Prof. Whitmarsh argues the transition will require changes to how we live our lives. The government's must make these shifts easier and more beneficial.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.
Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
