I like the policy of IUI on the usage of generative AI.
iui.acm.org/2026/call-fo...
Usage of Generative AI All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI: the April 2023 ACM Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked Questions. Text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, must be clearly marked where such tools are used for purposes beyond editing the author’s own text. Authors should include a “GenAI Usage Disclosure” section, right before the references, to provide full disclosure of all use of GenAI tools in all stages of the research (including the code and data) and the writing. This section, together with the references, will not be counted toward the word limit. While we do not anticipate using tools on a large scale to detect LLM-generated text, we will investigate submissions brought to our attention and desk reject papers where LLM use is not clearly marked.

Note the emphasis from the EU commission.
The political agreement of 27 July 2025 is not legally binding. Beyond taking the immediate actions committed, the EU and the US will further negotiate, in line with their relevant internal procedures, to fully implement the political agreement.

Het is niet eens een buurland.

Iran ligt zowat even ver van Israël als België van Bosnië en Herzegovina.

Maternal death ratio increased in US, do you know why?
Graph showing the evolution of maternal mortality ratio in Japan, selected European countries, and the United States between 1980 and 2020. While maternal deaths declined or were stable in most of these countries, the maternal mortality ratio in the US more or less doubled.

We might be influenced by the regions from where we primarily get information on extreme poverty.

Interesting study relevant for current times.
Journal article in Ecological Economics (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolecon.2014.02.014): Title: Human and nature dynamics (HANDY): Modeling inequality and use of resources in the collapse or sustainability of societies Authors: Safa Motesharrei, Jorge Rivas, Eugenia Kalnay Highlights • HANDY is a 4-variable thought-experiment model for interaction of humans and nature. • The focus is on predicting long-term behavior rather than short-term forecasting. • Carrying Capacity is developed as a practical measure for forecasting collapses. • A sustainable steady state is shown to be possible in different types of societies. • But over-exploitation of either Labor or Nature results in a societal collapse.

“IF I MUST DIE” BY REFAAT ALAREER If I must die, you must live to tell my story to sell my things to buy a piece of cloth and some strings, (make it white with a long tail) so that a child, somewhere in Gaza while looking heaven in the eye awaiting his dad who left in a blaze— and bid no one farewell not even to his flesh not even to himself— sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above and thinks for a moment an angel is there bringing back love If I must die let it bring hope let it be a tale

If you see this post, post or quote repost a #bridge from your #photography or #artwork
A bridge with the words 'Ecovallei Vossenberg' (Dutch for ecological valley Vossenberg) in large letters on the side. Behind the bridge is a forest on a hill. Below the bridge are a ven, grass, flowers, bushes and a cycling path. In front is a signpost for cyclists indicating the direction to Opoeteren.

May I stress the need for courageous, intelligent, and dedicated leadership... Leaders of sound integrity. Leaders not in love with publicity, but in love with justice. Leaders not in love with money, but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the greatness of the cause. -- Martin Luther King Junior

It should be seen in context. The decrease coincided with huge increases in oil and gas production since early 2000s. Usage of fossil fuels was very slightly down since then.
The US became an exporter of LNG, which seems to be worse for climate than coal.
I don't know about overall health effects.
Fossil fuel consumption by type for the United States from 1965 to 2023. Consumption has slightly decreased since early 2000s with a decline in coal usage and an increase in fossil gas usage. Oil production in several countries since 1900. Since early 2010s the United States has surpassed Saudi Arabia as largest producer and has dramatically increased production, while it has been relatively stable elsewhere. The increase has been larger than the total production in Iraq, third largest producer in the graph Gas production in several countries. The United States is the largest gas producer since early 2010s. It is, together with China, the only country that has significantly increased production since then. This increase is almost double the total production of China in 2023, the third largest producer of fossil gas.

Praat erover.

Tip van Katharine Hayhoe, klimaatwetenschapster en auteur van 'Saving Us'. In het Nederlands vertaald als. 'Hoop voor de aarde: hoe we samen het klimaat kunnen redden'
