Ne le, da naftna podjetja že desetletja vedo, kaj povzroča njihovo črpanje in prodajanje fosilnih goriv, in ne le da so njihovi modeli izredno natančno napovedali segrevanja ozračja in dvig morske gladine. Celo milijone so vlagala v prilagajanje na podnebne spremembe.
Podjetja za fosilna goriva so že desetletja javnost prepričevala, da povezave med uporabo fosilnih goriv in segrevanjem podnebja ni mogoče dokazati, ker so bili podnebni modeli preveč negotovi. (1/8)

Kot zaposleni na izobraževalno-raziskovalni ustanovi redno poslušam, da sem preplačan, parazit, davkojemalec ipd. V 14 let tujine teh očitkov - čeprav sem bil 86% bolje plačan kot v Sloveniji - nisem slišal. Učiteljev in vzgojiteljev nam že primanjkuje, sedaj pa vidimo, da že odhajajo čez mejo.
Mladi učitelj Lovrenc Habe od lani poučuje na avstrijskem Koroškem. Tja so ga povabili, razlog pa je bila tudi boljša plača.
Tudi birokracije je v avstrijskem šolskem sistemu manj, prav tako manj posega staršev v delo učiteljev, zadovoljen je tudi, da se z novim šolskim letom telefon v šolah ukinja.

European cars are currently safer for people (pedestrians, cyclists, other drivers) than American cars. But Trump seems to have bullied the EU into lowering their standards down to the US level. Shame. No economic growth is worth this!
This is an INSANE decision by the E.U.
“By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.”
This will kill people.

Premazi starejših teflonskih ponvah vsebujejo PFAS (per- in polifluoroalkilne snovi), ki se sproščajo, ko se ponve obrabijo in spraskajo. PFAS poveča tveganje za raka in bolezni jeter ter ledvic. Obrabljene teflonske ponve je zato treba zavreči in zamenjati z novimi, saj te ne vsebujejo PFAS.
