Warum gibt es eig Sondersendungen wenn in den USA irgendein random abgeknallt wird während die täglichen Messerangriffe und Vergewaltigungen bei uns mittlerweile wenn überhaupt nur noch Regionalmeldungen sind? Haben wir das jetz einfach akzeptiert oder was?
Nur zur Erinnerung: Unter Barack Obama gab es über 56 Todesfälle in ICE-Gewahrsam und mit 3,1 Mio Abschiebungen mehr Deportationen als unter jedem anderen US-Präsidenten.
Damals kaum thematisiert. Heute, unter Trump, kollektive Hysterie.
No, just no
Climate change does not make more cold extremes—it makes fewer cold extremes
The UN Climate Panel clearly says so, e.g. here, with lower cold extremes both in past and future (arrow down, red means "virtually certain")

There is a common myth that the Arctic is "opening up" because of melting ice and even that the "Northwest passage is now open".
I have even heard an admiral say this and refuse to listen to my gently correcting him.
It's nonsense. The Northwest passage is probably never going to be a reliable sea route this century.
Why? Because the passage refreezes every winter.
Yes, the Arctic ocean's ice cover has fallen slowly in the past half century - but mostly in late summer and fall, not significantly in winter or spring.
The minimum sea ice cover shows no downward trend in a decade now.
Besides, the Canadian Arctic, unlike the Russian Arctic (Northeast passage), is at the downstream end of the Arctic Ocean current, so the ice generally moves south in the passages between islands, clogging the NW passage for much of the year.
At best the NW passage is open for a couple of months in early fall each year and even then there is a risk of getting trapped in pack ice.
Unless you have an ice-breaker, of course. But that's not practical for routine trade.
Show me a shipping company, or an insurer, willing to set up to use a route that's only open for a couple of months, and has significant risks from pack ice.
The Times reveals the awful truth: 16,500 protesters killed and 330,000 injured.Two weeks of protests in Iran have caused more civilian deaths than two years of war in Gaza. Yet the world looks the other war,
Your brain treats million, billion, and trillion like cousins. In reality, they live in different universes.

Davos is basically all the people who have created the problems, denied their existence and then called us names for pointing them out... explaining what the problems are and how we desperately need to fix them.
Nearly 40 years ago Trump published a book on how he does negotiations. In it he carefully describes how he always asks for significantly more than what he wants so he can negotiate to what he wants.
Every 8 months he negotiates some deal in this exact same way and everyone freaks out when it happens.
