Great to be back in Georgia. Georgians are Europe.

Maybe more Europe than many of us who were lucky enough to be born on the better side of the iron curtain. Never forget. Tbilisi is a capital city of Europe. 🇬🇪 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

Canada on the upcoming election in a nutshell:
“Get out & vote by Apr. 28!
With the current American president threatening Canada's economy and our very existence, this federal election is one of the
most consequential ever. We see from our neighbours down south how disastrous a bad choice can be.”

45 minutes into the debate a short question about the climate. Merz says that wind turbines are “not pretty”, and Scholz takes credit for Habecks successes.
Come on: In 2024 renewables accounted for almost 60% of electricity generation in Germany. 2021 this figure was below 43%. Do your math!

Munich . One year ago. Hundreds of thousands took the streets in January 2024 - and nevertheless the months since have been a winning streak for proto-fashist AfD not only in Germany but also for other populist and anti-democratic politicians around the globe . Including the U.S. Why ?

“Even when the creek rises” There is hope. Which hope? Asheville, NC. Nov 25,2024. Formerly sometimes addressed as “climate haven” - until Hurricane Helene in September caused the French Broad River to rise more than 9 m (30.31 ff) above average.

PCH between Santa Monica and Malibu. Hard to imagine how to recover from this , even in the City of Angels. My heart goes out to my friends and all suffering from the devastating fires. I truly hope that those who profited from that loss, while knowing better since decades, will be held accountable

This ivory maskette in the Canadian Museum of History, Gatineau, QC, attributed to Dorset culture 1900-1600 BCE is one of the oldest depictions of a human face in North America. The carving may represent the face of an elderly woman. The lines carved are likely facial tattoos.
