We need videos from optical gas imaging cameras for CO₂ emissions.
What you see without an OGI camera vs what you see with an OGI camera.

What you are seeing in a plume of methane and VOCs.

You can see how it is so easy for them to ignore the ongoing systemic methane pollution.

Wenn der AfD Verrat an Deutschland vorgeworfen wird, dann macht sie das nicht zu Dissidenten, sondern beruht schlicht auf Fakten. Im Moment wird der Vorwurf wieder laut, da sie per parlamentarischer Anfragen Details über kriegsentscheidende Fähigkeiten der Bundeswehr ausfragt.

Great, thanks, haven´t seen this. Even more interesting to me, because "the thing" happened exactly one year before I entered the stage. 😀😅

Solche "Zähne zusammenbeißen" Appelle sind einfach der blanke Hohn für all die, die in Armut leben. Und "mehr leisten" insbesondere all jenen entgegenzurufen, die für kleines Geld oder gar Mindestlohn die schllimmsten und anstrengenden Jobs machen, ist keinen Deut besser.

Wieso fühlt sich die AfD da eigentlich angesprochen? Getroffene Hunde bellen... Worauf warten wir noch?!
Rechte hetzen jetzt gegen unseren Bundespräsidenten - weil er unser Grundgesetz zitiert hat! Der deutsche Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier nennt korrekt den Rechtsextremismus die größte Gefahr für die Demokratie, ohne die AfD zu nennen.

Great work: "Industry’s favoured voluntary solutions- carbon offsets, biofuels, and “efficiency-based” measures to tackle climate change - cannot deliver the deep, sustained cuts needed to preserve a habitable planet" + it would be worthwile to look at the international banks financing deforestation

The 10 richest US billionaires grew by $698bn in the past year. Thats 10 x the annual amount required to end extreme poverty. How have they managed to channel so much money into their pockets? And why can’t we get it back through effective taxation? Answers by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
