NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

The Dutch government threatens not to allow university degree that are taught in English (as many are) in order to reduce the number of foreigners in the country. This will make NL substantially poorer. It serves no other purpose than to please the xenophobes at the cost of the whole country.
