As @doctorvive.bsky.social has pointed out a quadrillion times, it such a moment of significant and extreme alarm that fossi lfuel industry talking points are being shamelessly and bluntly repeated by people like this
Very, very, very grim

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.

Elon Musk is choking a black community with air pollution to run a racist chatbot on a right-wing social media site. The next phase will double the gas turbines.

Here's something funny:
- By distance travelled, pure-electric cars make up ~22% of total in 2023 in Norway
- By *amount of energy consumed*, it's like, maybe 5% ish
This is bc electricity is ridiculously more efficient than fossil or bio :)

Third year of record heat over Arctic region is accelerating methane release and locking in a vicious feedback loop. Many American meteorologists have locked their social media comments; any coverage of this is effectively taboo in this country.

If you do TypeScript this is promising. Anders Hejlsberg have created multiple successful programming languages. And yet for making TypeScript faster he chooses someone else's language (Go) - no prestige there - only do what is best.
Looking forward to this!
