Former president of Russia and current senior advisor to Putin threatens to kill European diplomats in Ukraine.

The SSP5-8.5 climate model was based on a 6 fold increase of coal burning, a worst case scenario, triggered by China increasing its use of coal. But even as China's use still goes up, the general tendency has plateaud. See the graph. So SSP5-8.5 had to be withdrawn. And it was.

Oil refining at a standstill in central Russia after Ukrainian drone strikes: www.reuters.com/busi... militarnyi.com/en/ne...

Production of oil and refining in Russia has suffered greatly:

Ukraine hit the local Russian FSB headquarters on the Arabat Spit, the peninsula's on Crimea's Azov coast. NASA satellites noticed multiple fires. Source: Militarnyi militarnyi.com/en/ne...

Announcement expected. The meaning: - If Europe gets attacked, the US will not help; - if Europe gets destroyed with a nuclear attack, an umbrella won't make sense anyway. - US European bases will only be a springboard for the US to wage wars elsewhere. www.reuters.com/worl...

People say that France's nuclear power plants produce cheap energy, but they forget to tell us that you can't repeat the trick. Building costs and requirements have increased a lot. Newly built wind/solar is around $30–80/MWh, new nuclear is typically $100–150+/MWh.

🔥 Tor anti-aircraft missile system in the Stary Oskol area and Yastreb counter-battery radar station in the Novosyolovka area of ​​the Belgorod region were hit. 💥 Redut-2US mobile communications complex in Donetsk region was hit, communications node in Kinski Rozdory, Zaporizhzhia region.

Last night, the SBS attacked a series of Russian military facilities in the temporarily occupied territories: ▪️SAM systems "Tor" (Donetsk region); ▪️communications complex "Redut-2US" (Luhansk region); ▪️command post (Donetsk region); ▪️communications node (Zaporizhia region). t.me/usf_army/1917

Reportedly, this is a Ukrainian P1-Sun interceptor shooting down a Russian Shahed drone. This is so cool

Ukraine has negotiated a return of 1,000 Ukrainians prisoners of war held by Russia in exchange for a 3-day ceasefire from May 9th to 11th. Personally, I feel Ukraine could have demanded the release of ALL PoWs, not just 1,000, along with all kidnapped Ukrainian children.

Can we send Elon to Mars now?

❗️Drones have just attacked the refinery in 🇷🇺Perm for the third time. There is a fire and smoke at the site.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ukrainian drones struck the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery in Yaroslavl, triggering a major fire. Zelensky said the site, more than 700 kilometers from Ukraine’s border, helped finance Russia’s war. The refinery processes about 15 million tons of crude a year. #Russia

Nowadays there are two types of truth: one needs to be called "TRUTH" continuously.

How to recycle solar panels? The short answer is: to build recycling into the life-cycle of solar panels by law. Recycling solar panels shouldn't be expensive once you have the industry in place and the cost of recycling is included in the price of the panel. 1/5

I recommend this short article for more reasons than one: 1. It's a great article in and by itself; 2. It uses the 'Goodbye Lenin!' type of explanation; 3. Two graphs that only an economist would come up with (and they make things crystal clear) open.substack.com/pu...?

Trump: War in Ukraine continues because "Biden gave them US$350 billion" The US has a nut-case as President and Republican members of Congress are too afraid to take adequate measures. People notice him falling alseep, which is basically not a problem at all. Delusions are.

The Y. M. Sverdlov Explosives Plant in Dzerzhinsk was hit by Ukrainian drones.

An attempt was made yesterday to kill Russian major general Omurbekov, aka “Butcher of Bucha”. militarnyi.com/en/ne...

Ukraine buys 8006 Octopus Interceptor Drones It is a joint development project between the UK and Ukraine. The design ideas came from the Ukrainian Army. militarnyi.com/en/ne...

💥 Russia: Ukraine struck the Tuapse oil refinery & export terminal AGAIN — right as the massive oil fire from previous strikes was finally burning itself out.

Last night, once again, Tuapse refinery, 76 km North-west of Putin's beloved retreat Sochi, has been set alight by Ukrainian drones. Possibly this time the target was the distilling towers, which had not been destroyed until now. Let's await the satellite images.

Various radar stations, a MIG 31, three ships "we methodically destroy key elements of the enemy’s military infrastructure – the fleet, aviation, intelligence, and air defense." Ukraine methodically destroys Russia's control over sea and air.

Climate denialists attack reason. They find the questions in the field and inflate these, as if 'science' is at a loss and soon they conclude that all theories are wrong. But why do scientists ask questions? 1/5

There is no reason for Zelensky to meet with Putin.

Sweden's spy chief Nilsson: the Russian economy is set for disaster.

One-third of the companies that make components for the SU-57 are not under sanctions. Because of this Russia can still buy foreign technology and components for military aviation. militarnyi.com/en/ne...

Slovakia maintains the lie that Ukraine blocks the Druzhba pipeline. It was however Russia that bombed the pipeline and uses it to infiltrate soldiers into Ukraine. 1/4

Ukraine listened in on a secret Russian meeting: for drones, Russia depends for 90% on imported Chinese 'ready mades'. If Chinese exports stops, the war against Ukraine stops.

The fossil lobby bombards us daily with their hope to create doubt. Are we sure CO2 causes warming? CO2 absorbs infrared radiation from the sun. It warms the atmosphere which will then contain more water vapour, amplifying the greenhouse effect. Denial doesn't change physics.

What are the Iranian regime's two choices? 1. to risk losing it all through a war effort that the US is unwilling to conduct: a. on the ground; b. long term; 2. to lose it all through through negotiations. Defiantly, they will prefer 1 over 2. Defiance is a national trait.

Ukraine hit and damaged three Russian military vessels in Crimea amongst which two landingcrafts. It also hit two coastal defence radars.

💥 Russia: Strategic federal reserve of fuel and petroleum products struck by Ukraine in Tver. Looks like it was rather empty. 550km from Ukraine.

💥 Russia: Ukraine struck the Krymsk oil depot in Krasnodar Krai.

Ukrainian drones struck a Lukoil oil refinery in the Russian city of Kstovo and an oil terminal in Leningrad Oblast overnight on April 5. Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, the commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, confirmed the attack on April 5.

Let it make sense! The cost calculations that made sense for thermal or nuclear power plants make little sense for wind/solar. We have to look at: 1. the energy mix that fits the area (not just wind vs gas &tc) 2. the grid costs for that mix 3. initial investments 4. running costs/maintenance 1/

"LEGO?" "Housewives?" Papperger sees drones as a double threat to his business: 1. Will countries still buy his Skyranger point defense when drones do the same, don't have range limitations and a smaller investment? 2. Drones routinely destroy Russian tanks. Leopards? Just a matter of time.
