It seems cracy to be invited all along the world, it matters more than money and status

If you want to be on my handle, you better respect how the world is

What about renewables in Uzbekistan and Ethiopia banning internal combustion engine imports? 420 million e-bikes in China? Maybe we should also do something about the climate crisis in the Nordics #WhatAbout daryo.uz/en/2026/04/1...

No joke.

The time to influence people is short. I had a chance to do that ten years ago on rivers, and some more on how we produce electricity in Finland The results cannot be monetized yle.fi/a/74-2016201...

It can be a big empathy load you need to take in when you understand how people were exploited when our consumption systems were built, as much as nature was degraded. This is not easy. But it is the truth.

I don’t like hovering above people, sending money and attention to where I please. Humility can only be learned after decades #RestoreNature yle.fi/a/74-2016201...

You are not going to get any leverage from being antisocial with people. Behave like society and nature matters. The universe has seen this nonsense and this planet too for 5000 years. #Sufficiency

It’s a better life, but nobody will help you out if you are a total cunt. This is serious.

”The (Left) party's parliamentary group leader, Aino-Kaisa Pekonen, pointed out Finland has the EU’s highest unemployment rate while more people are becoming homeless and a record number of debtors are in foreclosure in Finland.” Old forests are cut, EU climate targets failed. yle.fi/a/74-20219521

So much of the climate discussion in the Nordic middle classes revolved with how we all feel about uncomfortable things such as not taking part in status competition, dominance hierarchies and conspicuous consumption Rather than biting the bullet and running in the local elections, for example

It can be a big empathy load you need to take in when you understand how people were exploited when our consumption systems were built, as much as nature was degraded. This is not easy. But it is the truth.

With 150GW solar, India achieved its target of having 50% of its total installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, reaching this milestone 5 years ahead of its original 2030 deadline set under the Paris Agreement www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/10/i...

”The science is clear — people in more-equal societies are more trusting and more likely to protect the environment than are those in unequal, consumer-driven ones.” Seeing the difference as single person is rare in modernity, that’s why I post about it #Sufficiency www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Viktor Orbán’s far-right Patriots for Europe (PfE) bloc in the European Parliament opposed measures aimed at tackling rule-of-law breaches in the EU’s forthcoming long-term budget.

Last week, @policyalternatives.ca put together an urgent call for Canada to tax the profits that the oil and gas industry is making off the war in Iran. Yesterday, the best Carney could do was removing tax on average people, further defunding the state. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Decarbonisation is the answer. This is the second fossil fuel crisis in just a few years. The evidence is clear: dependency on fossil fuels remains the most expensive option for Europe — and citizens are feeling it at the petrol station, in the supermarket, and on their bills.

I'm probably forgetting some in my off the cuff list. But I want this guy back who was actually doing climate policy. chatelaine.com/living/justi...

”The Finnish government's proposal to remove the tax exemption for employer-provided bicycles has hit the cycling industry hard — right in the middle of the spring sales season.” Many Finns could have had an #eBike and Helkama could have made them in Finland. yle.fi/a/74-2016289...

Amid growing fears that Ukraine’s long-range drones could strike deep into northern Russia, military authorities have decided to cancel one of the country’s most symbolic displays of military power: the 9 May Victory Day parade.

We agree with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Electrification is essential to protect Europeans from volatile energy bills driven by fossil fuel imports. For buildings and industry, this means one thing: scaling up #HeatPumps.

The federal government refuses to offer purchase subsidies for e-bikes, the LEAST they could do would be to remove GST from bicycles purchases for the season and encourage people to leave the car at home. #yycbike

Varsinkin maan itäosaa kurittaa kuivuus. Tämän vuoden sademäärä 66 mm on alle puolet normaalista, ja vuosien 1961-2026 havaintoaikasarjassa ennätysalhainen määrä. Mediassa on arveltu tilanteen linkittyvän ilmastonmuutokseen.

How about India was the new how about China, how about our oil consumption, aviation growth and land degradation then?

March 2026 saw the second-warmest global sea surface temperature on record for the month. It was the fourth-warmest March globally & the second-warmest for European land. Arctic sea ice extent was the lowest recorded for March. 🔗 Read the summary climate.copernicus.eu/sea-surface-...

You can. Refer to the below Fork-Pack installation instructions. downloads.ortlieb.com/instructions... However, you could always use larger panniers on the rear rack, instead of 14.5L Gravel-Packs. For example 20L Back-Roller Classic, or 23L Back-Roller Plus. uk.ortlieb.com/products/bac...

This is a great data visualisation. It clearly shows why policy interventions that support/subsidise driving tend to not just miss an opportunity to reduce inequality, they are likely to entrench inequality, because those in the most deprived areas will derive the least benefit.

Ruissalossa @utu.fi selvitetty Thermacellin vaikutusta kimalaisiin. 10 minuutin altistus myrkytti jo niin pahasti, että sotki kyvyn löytää tien takaisin pesään. Liian pitkälle ei pidä johtaa johtopäätöksiä yhdestä suppeahkosta tutkimuksesta, mutta tulokset eivät yllätä.🧪

The mayor of a rural town insists that railway electrification must be included in the next government programme because commuters expect climate-friendly means of transportation. We care in the countryside!

The AfD is stuck in the same 24-27% zone it has been since the summer of 2025. It's not a good sign, but it's also not the kind of dominance Orban exerted in Hungarian politics

Far Right populists are a big risk in European politics, but in most states they get stuck around a 30% threshold. Their success is then dependent on specific state constitutional and legal structures as well as responses from other parties.

It's perfectly reasonable to challenge ministers on N Sea oil & gas as a response to the energy shock. But this is the exclusive framing for EVERY interview on this topic. No minister or opposition leader is ever asked if they'll "max out" wind/solar. It's always framed as fossil fuels v inaction

Les crocus sortent à 2000 m d'altitude en versant sud ce 15 avril, ce qui est bien précoce. De fait, après une deuxième moitié d'hiver météo très enneigée, le temps plutôt sec et chaud depuis fin février a mis une claque à l'enneigement, désormais bien déficitaire dans ces orientations.

Seeing how the state operates in the last old-growth forests of southern Finland changed my view on our society at large. It is a problem if everyone chants ’we are the best in the world’ when we fail climate targets and lobby against biodiversity policy in the EU. bsky.app/profile/aarn...

“Part of the role of the commissions has been seeking to find a shared language in which to understand and speak about injustices committed in the Nordic states.” If you look past the country branding and confront these issues, it is a chance to learn. www.thebarentsobserver.com/news/truth-a...
