@KatalinNovak_HU @StephenJShaw @XYWorldwide What is the goal? To increase the global population? Could you please explain why this is a good idea?

@MLiebreich @hanseric (contd.) if you had a quotable article with this info, maybe people would find that on Google instead of the 5%. And thank you for all your great work! My apologies for asking for more:)

@MLiebreich @hanseric Thank you, Michael! I listened to the podcast and it was great, but it was a bit too much information for a soundbite. I think that the best way to demolish the 5% bollox would be to write a piece that actually says what you have just wrote in so many words.

@Patrick_Wyman Please do a show about the mechanics of long-distance prehistoric trade. I would love to understand how e.g. amber went from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. Was it carried by one man all the way, or was it always exchanged? Thank you very much!

We're entering the third, most disruptive, phase of clean energy. We've gone from:
1) Subsidy-dependent; to
2) Competitive for new power; to
3) Cheaper to build new solar & wind than to keep operating *existing* fossil fuel power plants.

@QuentinGenard I wonder if Hungary was even asked whether they would like to join?

Even if there is a slight decrease in global fossil CO₂ emissions in 2020, the atmospheric concentration of CO₂ will continue to rise.

The atmosphere is like a (leaky) bathtub, unless you turn the tap off, the bath will keep filling up with CO₂...

Straßen werden wegen #Coronakrise in #Fahrradwege umgewandelt. Warum klappt jetzt plötzlich problemlos all das, was auch bei der #Klimakrise nötig gewesen wäre?

One step closer to coal phaseout in Hungary

Instead of 2030, Hungary will by 2025 phase out lignite fired power generation at the Matra power plant. One out of 4 units will be kept as strategic reserve until 2029: Minister for innovation and technology Laszlo Palkovics #coalphaseout #climateaction

This is great news, very much welcome! It would be good to know if this also reflects a legal commitment by PM Orbán, or just an aspirational target by the president - who has no power to decide such things

Hungary will by 2030 phase out coal and increase solar capacity 10X from current levels: President János Áder #ClimateActionSummit
