It's not just Elon Musk's rockets that blow up, so do Jeff Bezos'.
The billionaires need to be taxed so they can't build their own personal exploding spacebombs.
Otherwise we will never be safe.
See that cold blob near Greenland? It sticks out like a sore thumb because virtually all of the rest of the oceans are warming. It's a canary in a coalmine signaling something is wrong with our climate system. The cause has been debated and a now a new study from Stefan et al. sheds light, saying this "warming hole" is likely due to less transport of heat into the region due to a weaker AMOC circulation due global warming. Not a big surprise, but it provides clarity.
Nearly 2 billion people live in the red area.
It is becoming completely uninhabitable.
What do the climate deniers, who also hate immigration, think is going to happen?
Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
A huge heat dome is sitting over France, with temperatures that might hit 40°C. It’s still spring. It’s still May. What was once considered “extreme” is increasingly becoming normal across Europe. Heatwaves are earlier, longer, & pushing ecosystems and health beyond limits.
Extrem Bock mit 85 in einem riesigen Lehnstuhl zu sitzen und meinen ungläubigen Enkeln zu erzählen, dass man mal 30-60% seines Einkommens direkt an jemanden überweisen musste, dessen einziger Job es war, deine Wohnung zu besitzen
Visa and Mastercard will finally face some competition. Europe is building its own payment system that will launch in late 2026, when about 130 million people in 13 countries will be able to use it.
It integrates the Wero app with national services like Bizum in Spain, Bancomat in Italy, MB Way in Portugal, and Vipps and MobilePay in the Nordic countries.
The system transfers money instantly from one bank account to another using Europe’s fast payment network, so people can keep using their usual apps while a central link simplifies cross-border payments.
It starts with person-to-person payments in late 2026 and adds online and in-store payments in 2027. They want to cut costs and keep money and data inside Europe, and rely less on foreign card companies like Visa and Mastercard.
This will not replace Visa or Mastercard completely, as those cards will remain useful for travel and some shops, but it is a good alternative for Europeans to the usual payment processors.
Europe is swinging from Arctic frosts to near-35°C heat within days. Some parts will warm by ~15°C in a week. Agriculture does not thrive under violent thermal instability. Ecosystems depend on stability, not a whiplash. This is what climate instability looks like in practice.
The sun hits the Earth with 10,000 times more energy than we use.
Every. Single. Day.
We're not running out of power.
We're just stuck using the wrong kind-because billionaires don't own sunlight.
I'm happy to share this new paper led by @morenahanbury, which explores the drain of resources from Latin America through ecologically unequal exchange. Available open access in Ecological Economics: https://t.co/VMeZFHlfu5
The EU’s greatest achievements are often boring on purpose.
EHIC, roaming, SEPA, Schengen, mutual recognition, consumer standards.
Not empire. Not utopia.
A continental operating system that makes daily life easier across borders.
That is real civilization.
If God wanted us to use renewable energy, He would’ve put a giant fusion reactor in the sky that bathes the Earth in photons, creates flowing rivers, and causes planetwide wind currents.
Checkmate, libs.
Auf einen Gewerbegebiet in Röhrsdorf bei #Chemnitz realisiert die Firma #Lichtblick ihren ersten großen Batteriespeicher mit einer Leistung von 100 MW und einer Kapazität von 470 MWh.
Baubeginn war im Oktober 2025, die Fertigstellung ist für das..
