So. The right has fractured, but not really lost seats overall. PVV losses more or less equal JA21 and FvD gains.

In the centre D66 and CDA soaked up all the losses from the NSC's total collapse, and gained a bunch more, it seems from the left.

Here's what 74 European banks considered "material" in their CSRD reporting. Bad news for "affected communities" (among other categories).

This woudl seem to point to a flaw in allowing companies to pick their own material issues.

Is this the best the fossil fuel lobbyists at Africa Energy Chamber can do?

How exactly would the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline tackle energy poverty in Uganda? It is literally designed to take oil *out* of Uganda.

Bet when they programmed this at @duolingoverde.bsky.social it seemed like a bland, even obvious sentiment.

My take is that this is wrong; 5 degrees of warming is not "out of the picture", it's just not likely by 2100. But if we're on track for 2.7 degrees by 2100, worse will be around the corner.

I am however not the vice-chair of the IPCC. Am I missing something, has the apocalypse been cancelled?

Ecosia, oh dear. Nice that you plant trees but we have a problem here.

"A number of these things I'm hearing now for the first time"
The Israeli ambassador to NL is either lying or inexcusably under-informed here. Everything that is being put to him about the behaviour of Maccabi fans was apparent in a 6 minute video posted by NOS last weekend.

Doom warning, but: at this point I would like to see some serious modelling on what the "Trump scenario" here means for humanity (and the rest of nature); lives that will be lost, areas made uninhabitable, etc. @carbonbrief.org
