👉👉 Meer dan 120 wetenschappers roepen de formerende partijen D66 en CDA op om betrouwbare klimaatinformatie structureel te borgen in het nieuwe regeerakkoord. De oproep staat in een brief die op 26 november 2025 aan de informateur is overhandigd. 💼 De brief: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

'CO2 opvangen en voor altijd opslaan, bijvoorbeeld onder de Noordzee. Het heet Carbon Capture and Storage, ofwel CCS. Maar er is een probleem: nog nooit heeft deze techniek zijn belofte waargemaakt. Intussen spint de fossiele industrie er garen bij.' argos.vpro.nl/artikelen/go...

Big Meat is following Big Oil’s playbook—funding science, shaping narratives, and deflecting blame. Chapter 4 of “Climate Obstruction” reveals how PR + media framing obscure corporate responsibility for emissions. Read: cssn.org/news-researc...

When a collaborator is targeted because her scientific findings that attribute extreme weather to human-caused climate change is being used (effectively) in climate lawsuits against oil companies, you know times are dark indeed. ICYMI @davidho.bsky.social www.eenews.net/articles/cli...

Volgens D66-leider Rob Jetten moeten we met extreemrechtse partijen blijven praten. Maar experts zeggen dat zulke gesprekken extreemrechtse standpunten juist normaliseren. De vraag is: herkennen we fascisme nog wel? www.oneworld.nl/mensenrechte...

‘remigratie’ is het logische complement van ‘omvolking’. Beide klinken onschuldig als je de ideologische achtergrond niet kent, maar zijn in wezen diep racistisch.

Oil and gas companies will often claim to be partners in the clean energy transition, when it is politically expedient to do so, but new research finds their actual contributions are marginal: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New report that maps the network of anti-offshore wind groups and their lawyers: www.climatedevlab.brown.edu/post/legal-e...

How do far right parties frame solar power? How have their positions changed? What does this variation over time tell us about the motives of the far right's obstruction of solar? See @manesweisskircher.bsky.social and ‪@sabinedvolk.bsky.social‬'s piece below: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Student research out of the @climatedevlab.bsky.social has sparked legal backlash from anti-wind groups. With offshore wind construction already at risk, attacks from groups like these threaten the possibility of meeting local climate goals. See the full article below, and the newly released report.
