The US is literally threatening the EU. Says we can’t have nuclear weapons unless in far-right countries. People they don’t like are threatened with frozen bank accounts, revoked credit cards, blocked services from Amazon, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI. We need to realize Russia isn’t the only foe.

It’s 3 PM and darkness has fallen. This time of year it feels like one should be sleeping 3 PM - 9 AM.

Checks out. The evidence is compelling.

1900-talets vintrar var betydligt vitare än de senaste årens. På flera håll har nästan halva vintern försvunnit. Falun har tappat 43 snödagar per säsong. Anledningen är klimatförändringarna, orsakade av våra utsläpp www.vk.se/2025-12-25/h...

Stand fast! The barbarians are at the gates!

Great work of the state to stop terrorism before it could happen 👍

Genuine question: Other than the most obvious of answers — myopic car company shareholders printing another quarter's worth of profits off the old tech — who actually *thinks* they are benefiting off delaying the EU gas guzzler phaseout?

American Republicans are worse than the Taliban. The former destroyed irreplaceable works of art; the latter destroys scientific infrastructure that humanity urgently needs. In both cases driven by a hatred of civilization and progress.

🇪🇺 EU: We are watering down the 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars 🇨🇳 China: Thanks very much #electriccars www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A U-turn on diesel and petrol phase-outs creates uncertainty, stifles innovation, and weakens Europe. It pollutes our air and allows China to take the lead. europeangreens.eu/news/europea...

Icymi last month, this truly is the most important story in the Western world.

😆

I know it can be UNBEARABLE to hold this knowledge right now — and it’s very hard to see how to have hope in this dark — but we have to remain poised to grab the next political opportunity to turn this ship around, which we won’t be ready to do if we think THIS what we have now is “progress.” 6/n

More leisure, better health outcomes, less inequality, less carbon emissions, all of which with broadly similar productivity: The EU can be proud of its development model, and the Trumpists (and European conservatives that echo them) should keep it down a bit

Now with the same productivity as the US, “core EU” also has more leisure time, higher life expectancy, less inequality No matter how you look at it, it is a clearly superior economic performance

Sorgligt att se Fokus förfall. Tidningen var så bra i början. Sedan ville de bli mer underhållande och locka till sig en coolare läsekrets (Hakelius störde sig på att tidningen verkade rikta sig till elevrådsordföranden) och blev sämre och sämre och nu har den körts ned i den högerextrema dyn.

This is why we drag out potted palm trees in the southern sweden town Trelleborg every summer and line the roads with them. To celebrate that finally the town is suitable for human habitation 😁

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this: The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Innovative!

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

So true! And it’s further complicated by the fact that with glasses on I can’t see the text on the mobile screen…

The really annoying thing is that we knew well in advance and have had every opportunity to avoid climate destabilization.

So true.

I’m certainly not a fan of Ebba Busch or her party the Christian Democrats, but in this our current government is absolutely right. We need to stay away from the US and cooperate more closely with Canada.

Perfect description of standard contemporary journalism.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels. 10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C 20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

Ministern som ska skydda oss från påverkanskampanjer medverkar gladeligen i högerextrema drev mot DN. Statsministern går till motattack när Aftonbladet granskar makten. Något har hänt med Moderaternas syn på journalistik.

Wow!

Twas ever thus. Skräckpropaganda säljer.

Jättebra text! 🙌 Vi behöver inte optimism utan realism. För övrigt tror jag att de allra flesta inte fattat detta: ”1,5-gradersmålet är inte en random gräns som någon satt på måfå. Det är en nivå som möjliggör för oss att leva ett tryggt och säkert liv på vår enda planet.”

Fascinating thread 👇

Some really big news dropped in animal rights world last week that was made possible only by extremely competent activism—a top breeder of dogs for lab experimentation will shut down. So I wrote about it and what it means and says about science, etc. gift link: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

As global warming intensifies storms, droughts and wildfires, scientists warn that “the window to prevent the worst outcomes is rapidly closing.” Read about the new report on the state of the climate in @latimes.com: www.latimes.com/environment/... Read the full report: doi.org/10.1093/bios...

There's increasing awareness of the role the animal ag industry plays in climate obstruction, but this new book brings all the peer-reviewed research on the subject together in one place and it's 🤯. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

Those lentil-loving eco-warriors at the *checks notes* the CBI are at it again, reminding everyone that the demolition of the political consensus on climate action is very bad for investment, security, and competitiveness. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520714...

Why are swedes and norwegians whining so pitifully about a few wolves?

🙌

One unrealistic study showed a hyped product work, another better one showed it doesn’t. Media went with massive headlines promoting the first one…

We can use the money better ways!!!

WUT?!
