NEW STARTER PACK! This time I’m hoping to encourage and support global urbanists from OUTSIDE North America here on Bluesky, so hopefully this will help! Who’ve I missed? Just joined? Let me know! I’ll keep updating, so please keep checking & sharing this pack! And let’s try using #GlobalUrbanists.

Awesome. #Gelsenkirchen you rock. #noAfD

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

Banning Israel from the ESC may be ill conceived. It punishes Netanyahu's opposition, and may even take away their voice, while being meaningless for Netanyahu's base. Instead, such moves increase the perception of "we against the world", not helping Gaza. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Dozens of former world leaders have joined the global call to make Big Oil & Gas pay for the destruction they’ve caused. 8 in 10 people worldwide support taxing fossil fuel giants to pay for climate damages. Now, leaders from five continents are backing that call.

Man muss sagen das ist endlich mal ein guter Artikel vom ORF zum Thema Radfahren. Nach einem tödlichen Unfall in Salzburg sind sich alle einig dass es baulich getrennte Radinfra braucht. Die Schuld wird hier nicht auf die Radfahrer gelenkt sondern auf die Infra. salzburg.orf.at/stories/3322...

#GoodNews: In Paris sind inzwischen mehr mit den Fahrrad unterwegs als mit dem Auto. 🚲💚 #Verkehrswende #StädteFürMenschen

Komisch. Wir kommen im Podcast zur Erkenntnis, dass Kirk mit einigen seiner "legitimen" Meinungen gegen das deutsche Grundgesetz verstoßen hätte (Art. 1 und 5) und vermutlich nach §130 StGb Volksverhetzung (seine Holocaustrelativierung) betrieb.

Wer verstehen will, warum Jens Spahn bei Miosga den Trumpismus verharmlost & die Linke derart verteufelt, dem lege ich unsere @gabrielakeller.bsky.social Recherche zu Jens Spahns engen Verbindungen zu MAGA-Milliardären & trumpschen Stiftungen ans Herz - erklärt vieles: correctiv.org/aktuelles/ge...

IN THE USA… Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them? Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… www.cbsnews.com/news/100000-...

every time we do a ubi study it comes back like 99% of people have a greater quality of life and contribute more to economy numbers, and a week later there's a new nber paper that's like what if we legalized hunting humans for sport.

Today our transmission grid capacity is only used about 55% of the time. Our distribution grid, less than 30% of the time. But for 50-100 hours a year everything could be used close to 100% of their capacity — so we overinvest in those hours. @tnorris.bsky.social

Tonight is the night when the Messias is reborn (after having been killed two weeks ago) creating a new cult with Trump as its obvious leader, characterized by retribution, not love.

Ramón Méndez Galain helped Uruguay decarbonize its grid in just five years, with 98 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources. His new vision is to see Uruguay’s success story replicated in other countries.

IPCC WGIII Chapter 5 remains one of the most comprehensive resources on the social science of climate change mitigation to date. I cannot recommend it enough! (6/6) Read it here: www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w... @efesce.bsky.social @jksteinberger.bsky.social @elkeweber.bsky.social

Felix Creutzig @efesce.bsky.social has participated in discussions with the UN to help shape the establishment of two new AI governance mechanisms: an Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and a Global Dialogue on AI Governance. See Digital Watch - dig.watch/updates/un-g...

Great to be part of the UK-India AIxcelerate programme with Felix Creutzig @efesce.bsky.social participating in an ideas workshop to co-develop AI solutions across six priority sectors, Health, Engineering Biology, Climate, Energy, AgriTech, and FinTech. www.linkedin.com/posts/the-di...

The answer to the many, many stories of shady carbon credits has been verification. Surely if these credits are audited, we can trust them, right? A new study says nope, conflict of interest abounds. @rishpardikar.bsky.social has the story for @drilledmedia.bsky.social drilled.media/news/carbon-...

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Die Bundesregierung verwendet den Klimaschutzfond, um Gas zu subventionieren. Hier die Möglichkeit Protest zu äußern. weact.campact.de/petitions/3-...

Die Gefahr der KI wird systematisch unterschätzt. Stecken wir alle den Kopf in den Sand? www.zeit.de/zeit-magazin...

Paris setzt auf grüne Dächer, weniger Parkplätze und Stadtwälder – und verzeichnet dort während Hitzewellen deutlich kühlere Temperaturen. Stadtchefin Anne Hidalogo rettet Leben, weil sie die Klimakrise ernst nimmt. Ist so. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Die selbstgerechte Gewissheit, Deutschland könnte es sich doch etwas leichter machen, weil "wir" ja sowieso ganz vorne wären, beruht auf einer Fehlwahrnehmung

13 July 1935 | Czech Jewish boy, Jiří Treichlinger, was born in Prague. He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 1 February 1943. He was murdered in a gas chamber with his sister Eva after the arrival selection.

Absolute Hörempfehlung!

Wahlweise ist Klimawandel auch mit KI zu ersetzen.

The June heat across Europe was the worst on record due to an intense persistent heat dome - a blocked upper level pattern - which are becoming more common this time of year due to global warming. Europe is a ground zero for these. Heat index numbers reached 48C (118F). 1/

Viele wissen prinzipiell, dass sich die Erde erhitzt, aber unterschätzen die Konsequenzen. Eine Studie zeigt, wie sich das besser vermitteln lässt.

The housing crisis spread over all of Europe with many middle class households spending >50% of their income on rents, many more becoming homeless. Financialization of housing played a huge role. Crisis threatens democracy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How can we make cities more sustainable? Cities require up-to-date, and easy-to-use data tools to make strategic decisions on reducing GHG emissions quickly. Research plays a crucial role in providing this. Great to be part of discussions hosted by CityLAB Berlin Felix Creutzig @efesce.bsky.social

Es ist ein Trauerspiel. Vierzig Jahre nach dem Schengener Abkommen, dem Zusammenwachsen Europas, richtet Friedrich Merz immensen Schaden in #Europa an. Die Einführung der polnischen Grenzkontrollen sind Folge des nationalen Alleingangs an allen deutschen Grenzen. 1/3

18 Millionen Euro von Spahn an Kortes Firma, ohne einen Nachweis, wofür das Geld verwendet wurde? #Untersuchungsausschuss #spahnRücktritt

USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care. 🔗 thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com

World’s largest urban climate study published in Nature Cities today reveals a critical blind spot: rapidly growing cities are underrepresented in research undermining global climate efforts.

🚨Less than one in 12 African cities is covered by more than one piece of climate change research, and many are completely absent from the evidence base altogether, with major implications for climate assessments. A hugely significant study from @efesce.bsky.social and colleagues, in Nature Cities.
