Afrika har den kæmpestore afrikanske savanne, som fylder næsten halvdelen af Afrikas kontinent.
Sydamerika har regnskoven, som udgør 40 pct. af Sydamerikas areal.
Selv USA har i omegnen af 5 pct. af landets areal udlagt som strengt beskyttet natur.
Danmark? Cirka 0 pct. strengt beskyttet natur. Det er simpelthen ikke muligt for danskere at se og være i egentlig natur i Danmark. Arealerne har enten ikke de dyr og de planter, som natur på vore himmelstrøg har, eller arealerne er for små til at kunne kvalificere til at være rigtig natur, fordi de med den størrelse ikke har plads nok til, at der kan være individer nok i hver artsgruppe til, at arterne kan holde liv i sig selv.
Det er meget sørgeligt, også fordi vi ret nemt kan gøre noget ved det. Naturstyrelsen råder faktisk allerede over 5 pct. af landets areal, men Naturstyrelsen (og regering og Folketing) har ikke prioriteret at have strengt beskyttet natur på arealerne. På mange af arealerne har man f.eks. hellere villet have kommercielle skove til tømmerproduktion end vild skov med tilhørende dyr.
Vi skal gå fra cirka 0 pct. strengt beskyttet natur i Danmark til, at 10 pct. af landets areal er strengt beskyttet natur. Her lever vi mennesker ikke, vi er naboer og besøgende.
Størstedelen af det resterende Danmark er enten kulturlandskab, by eller infrastruktur. Kulturlandskaberne har vi skabt, og dem bor vi også i. Her skal love og regler ikke sætte dumme grænser for ny udfoldelse, så landdistrikterne bliver slået ihjel.
Mere natur og ny planlov for kulturlandskaberne nu. Det er opgaven, som ligger foran os, hvis vi både vil have mere natur og mere økonomisk bæredygtigt liv for mennesker i landdistrikterne.

@hiddenmarkov1@lemire I asked copilot to create a Gantt chart out of a table of data in excel. It created the gantt added a graphic showing the schedule and worked out the dates and effort by itself 🤷♀️
@JAParker29@smh Your main argument seems to be that we should trust our aukus partners will stay true to their word when evidence on their production capabilities and actions towards other allies point to the contrary. A risk mitigation is not addressed in your articles or by the government.
The Type 212CD is straight-up highway robbery, yet it remains the most advanced conventional submarine in existence today.
The problem is: it simply cannot cost THIS much.
This entire industry has completely forgotten the lessons of World War II. German tanks were technically superior in almost every way, yet they were buried under an avalanche of Soviet T-34s and American Shermans tanks that cost less than half as much and were churned out at triple the production rate.
That war proved, once and for all, that in a prolonged attrition conflict, quantity and low unit cost are what win, not exquisite engineering alone.
A weapon has to be excellent, yes, but above all it has to be cheap enough to be produced in massive numbers and replaced the day after it’s lost.
Beyond the battery revolution that is already underway, we are on the cusp of a second, even more brutal underwater revolution: swarms of fully autonomous AI-armed UUVs whose sole mission is to hunt, track and kill submarines. Dozens, hundreds of these drones will saturate the operating area, surfacing briefly to receive updated orders and transmit targeting data, then diving again to relentlessly stalk their prey.
What FPV drones are currently doing to multi-million-dollar tanks on land will be replicated under the sea by cheap, expendable, fully autonomous killers operating in the dark depths.
When we invest billions in a platform, we have to war-game its obsolescence curve through the eyes of our adversaries over the next 10–15 years, not just admire the brochure.
The German defence industry is addicted to gold-plating.
The products are magnificent, no question.
But the costs are so obscene they annihilate every single advantage they claim to offer.
@FOXFOOTY@kayosports The players don’t have to meet with Sam. And it’s not up to hawthorn to give away the farm. What a bad take but of course hawks are the villains. Merrett wants out and we are happy to take him.
