Must see documentary: The vegan poultryfarmer 💚 theveganpoultryfarmer.com/about-the-ve...

“You’re getting so much rain in just one event and that’s how you’re maybe getting an average season on paper. But when you pull back the layers, if it happens only over the course of a couple of days as opposed to spread out over the course of a year, it’s extremely troublesome.”

State of emergency for severe flooding in the country where climate change officially doesn’t exist: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Another good reason not to fly: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The source of the planetary crisis in one graph:

“Essentially we are all living on a garbage dump”. Now, many landfills risk flooding: in Europe, the number of flood‑risk sites could be as high as 140,000. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Unfortunately removing the risk scores does not remove the risk

Een klein beetje sneeuw en er wordt binnen een paar uur 150.000 kilo zout gestrooid. Lekker voor de natuur… nos.nl/l/2591739

Nature strikes back: sommige teken zorgen dat mensen een vleesallergie krijgen. In de VS schijnen al 450.000 mensen dit te hebben. Luistertip: podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/s...

After 30(!) COP conferences they still don’t manage to mention the one and only reason for the climate crisis. The absurdity is mind-blowing

Watched the documentary WTO/99 yesterday at IDFA. Really interesting to see that demonstrators against the WTO came from all sides: labor unions marching with students and environmentalists. This is exactly what we need today! festival.idfa.nl/film/a2bb0e1...

As @glenpeters.bsky.social says, we're way off target for any 1.5°C scenario. To see how far off, each of the red/green bars represents the decrease in CO₂ emissions during COVID. Even if we achieved that from now until the end of 2030, we would still miss our 1.5°C target by a significant margin.

The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich’. This is highly relevant for the Netherlands, where a journalist from NRC orchestrated the downfall of an informant for a new cabinet together with a group of business leaders

So here is the biggest expert on AMOC stating that the AMOC is on the way to collapse, and we will probably pass the point of no return for an AMOC shutdown in the next 10-20 years. Meanwhile, Europe is backtracking on climate goals

The best proof that money doesn’t buy intelligence: Saudi Arabia using their 170.000 dollar earnings per minute to stall climate talks and block climate action, even though this is an existential threat to their own country… www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...?

Next COP edition will be a fossil fuel lobbyists exclusive

Dorp wil perse racistisch feestje organiseren. KOZP kondigt aan dat ze daartegen demonstreren. NOS: VEILIGHEID NIET GEGARANDEERD, feest moet worden afgezegd, die arme mensen in Yerseke

Denying climate change doesn’t make it go away: in the US, disasters caused 11 million evacuations or relocations in the previous 12 months. ‘We should understand how catastrophe works in a landscape of inequality’ www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Wilde dieren zijn nog maar 4% van alle biomassa op aarde, maar NOS weet altijd wel een situatie te vinden waar ze in de weg zitten: nos.nl/l/2589758

OMG even Norway turns out to be spineless nos.nl/l/2589353

Another alarming study: Africa’s wildlife “power grid” has dimmed. Total ecological energy has fallen by more than one-third. This is not only about species dying, but about ecosystems collapsing. “Restoration isn’t just about bringing animals back, it’s about bringing back what they do,”

All the possums had been exposed to PFAS. ‘We found 45 types of PFAS in their livers’ Just horrible

Watched ‘All that’s left of you’ tonight, a deeply moving film about the intergenerational trauma of a Palestinian family. Definitely agree with all the 5star reviews. I hope it will open many eyes to the tragic history of the Palestinian people since the Nakba. m.imdb.com/title/tt2934...

That's odd—the carbon footprint of your flight is 5x higher than the airline industry's been telling you, according to researchers ... www.newscientist.com/article/2502...

This could be a historic day. If Geert Wilders loses in the Netherlands, this could be the start of a new wave of European elections with losses for the extreme right, according to Italian journalist Valentina Brini. Let’s hope she’s right 🤞🏼 nos.nl/l/2588372

Total devastation. Heartbreaking

It is so sad to see another major hurricane approaching very vulnerable people. Melissa shows wind speeds up to an incredible 387km/h. Incredibly frustrating to know in advance about all the devastation this is going to cause. Heartbreaking

Outlook for the Netherlands: (by Noor Nuyten)

What this story also shows: ‘it is not just the heat. It is inequality – who has access to shelter, healthcare, money and social support – that often determines who lives and who dies.’

Hahahahaha

Well… Agricultural industries, which have been responsible for 85% of forest loss over the past decade, have received average annual subsidies worth $409bn (£307bn). This is almost 70 times more than the $5.9bn of international public finance provided each year for forest protection and restoration.

Let’s keep researching the decline and still do nothing to reverse it. After all, pollinators like bees and butterflies are just the lifelines for our health, our food systems and our economies… www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Zó mee eens: Extreemrechtse asieldrammers sleuren het gesprek zo agressief hun eigen kant op, dat zelfs een linkse premierskandidaat zich genoodzaakt ziet om maar een beetje stoer te gaan zitten meelullen: ‘Het kost een paar duiten, maar dan ben je ze wel kwijt’

Time and time again, sustainable solutions are smarter business

Can you call it a ceasefire when 27 people were killed in the past 24 hours? 😢

Well, we could have seen this one coming. Boomer industry refuses to innovate, becomes irrelevant because Chinese EV’s are way better and cheaper, and now makes the German chancellor fight the EU ban on combustion engines. Way to go… www.dw.com/en/germany-m...

Stop de verwarring. #vlees

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5). An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 (🎥 Ahmed Zantac)

This gives me hope: Rode lijn protest Amsterdam

Wat een prachtig stuk! www.trouw.nl/verdieping/r...

Greta Thunberg MUST get the Nobel Peace Prize. Imagine how much Donald Trump and Netanyahu would rage.

Antarctica is changing faster than we ever imagined (…) Evidence from the past shows that change originating in the Antarctic has the potential to spread rapidly, sometimes within decades

This is so sad. Nature reserves turned into a golf course or a marina for luxury yachts

The food conversation today is lagging about twenty years behind the energy and fossil fuels conversation. Big Ag gets away with everything: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ik luister normaal graag naar de podcast Het uur, maar de aflevering met Mark van Vugt vond ik ondraaglijk. Wat een prietpraat.

What? 😳

Goh wat toevallig, alweer bij Den Treek: nos.nl/l/2583709

Exactly this: ‘while the pen might be mightier than the sword, the wallet is mightier than the pen’ .. ‘No one ever lost money by telling billionaires what they want to hear’
