@SophiaKianni Hi Sophia, looks like you are wearing plastic clothes which release microplastics when washed. When I worked for the @UNFCCC, I sourced my natural fibre clothing through Germany's biggest second-hand store (@momoxfashion ), like here while meeting with @antonioguterres @COP26

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

@TheDisproof They knew even earlier than 1982. A 1968 paper commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute has now been found. It was never published in a Journal.

This is so fascinating to me: Those scientists were *so spot on*. You should read the paper, it is eerie how those projections are tracking what we now observe. In 1982.

This is a really striking paper. It shows that vehicles "Made in Germany" are mostly not made in Germany at all. 

Only 46% of the labour that goes into producing "Made in Germany" vehicles occurs in Germany. The majority of the labour is performed elsewhere (with wages as low as one-fifth the level), and the majority of the emissions occur elsewhere, but the value is disproportionately captured in Germany.

The paper was led by our colleague Laura Pérez-Sánchez at ICTA.

This photo illustrates three phenomena that surprised me when I arrived on board the @Space_Station. I didn’t realize before seeing it with my own eyes that the Earth’s atmosphere would be so visible in the night sky, seemingly even more obvious at nighttime than daytime, nor that it would be so colorful! These orange and green colors on the horizon are airglow, a faint emission of light caused by chemical reactions and interactions between UV radiation and gases in our atmosphere (unlike aurora, which is caused by solar wind particles interacting with Earth’s magnetic field, airglow is present everywhere, all of the time). I was also surprised to see how blue and well lit the Earth can be at night, when a bright Moon illuminates it (Moonglow!). This photo was taken on May 30, the day prior to the full Moon. I hope that this provides a bit more @NASAArtemis Moon Joy for all of us!

Wildlife is watching us, and adapting its behavior in response.

A Yale-led study tracked millions of animal movements and found that simply being near people causes more than 65% of species to shift how they move and where they go. Even small changes in human activity, like the quieter streets during the COVID-19 pandemic, showed up in the data.

My heart is full of love for this.

The UK’s first rooftop ICU at King’s College Hospital allows critically ill patients to receive life support outdoors, giving them fresh air, sunlight, and nature to support recovery and wellbeing. Patients reported a 20 percent reduction in pain relief meds required.

This is cutting off our nose to spite our face.

Every critical ecosystem across the globe is on the pathway to collapse.

Nature breakdown doesn't respect borders.

Cut funding today, pay the price tomorrow: food shortages, instability and climate displacement.

[Tara Blume @tcblume]

Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

🇦🇱 ALBANIA MARCHES AGAINST KUSHNER-TRUMP RESORT

Thousands of Albanians took to the streets in a peaceful demonstration opposing the $1.4 billion luxury resort development linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner on the country's southern coast.

Kushner and Ivanka Trump's "Zvërnec South Adriatic Development" company is building luxury resorts on Sazan Island and the Zvernec peninsula. The development includes approximately 1,000 beach villas, hotel rooms, and a new international airport.

The site sits within the protected Pishë Poro-Narta wetlandm, one of Albania's most ecologically sensitive areas. 41 environmental organizations from 28 countries have called for immediate suspension of the project. Local residents, environmental groups, and the Greek minority in the area all oppose it.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's government fast-tracked the deal. Parliament changed environmental law weeks before construction began, specifically permitting five-star hotels in protected zones, a law tailored for this project. The permit was issued April 29, 2026, without public release.

Rama granted "strategic investor" status to Kushner's Atlantic Incubation Partners LLC in late 2024, just weeks before Trump's inauguration, without a full business plan or feasibility study. Critics say the decision was politically motivated and aimed at securing goodwill from the incoming Trump administration.

Albanians are telling their government this is not for sale.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

There is a total established link between power, political power, capital, tech giants and AI. And the purpose of this is undermining democracy.

That's the goal because the people who are developing this stuff are against democracy.

I met Sam Altman a couple of years ago. I spent hours with him and at the end of the discussion I said to him, "You have created a monster."

And he said, "Yes, and now it's up to you to find out how to deal with it."
