Japan is joining Horizon Europe, the EU’s flagship research and innovation programme. Openness and international cooperation can shape a bright future for science and technology. Through science, we can build bridges, strengthen competitiveness, and accelerate the green and digital transitions.

Speeding is so normalised that this article about speeding is actually a veiled advert for how Volvo cars can only go 60% over the maximum legal speed and this is apparently a great thing

What would you prefer as your legacy: 3 meters sea-level rise or #AMOC shutdown? For me the answer is neither. Let's get out of fossil fuels fast enough to minimise both of these very real risks. www.newscientist.com/article/2504...

There‘s a problem in the popular perception of World War II that still helps blind many people, especially in Western Europe and the Americas, to what Russia really is. It is seen as a battle of Good vs. Evil, when in reality it was more like a battle of (Good + Evil) vs. Evil.

The discussion about security implications of chinese cars, busses and trucks has reached Poland with a new report from the Centre for Eastern Studies: "Smartphones on weels: Intelligent cars from China and cybersecurity of Europe". Key takeaway: High time to get more serious about this threat.

"The most urgent response to this exceptional risk of AMOC collapse should be action to radically reduce fossil fuel use.... sector-by-sector carbon-negative policies, rather than relying on the ambiguous “Net Zero”, ensuring industries cannot continue emitting through loopholes" - great to see […]

#Motornormativity in action- explaing declining use of public transport like: "When people can afford to drive cars, they prefer to do so. The automobile is the one mode of transportation that will easily take you from where you are to where you want to go. And we all make use of it, every day".

Radical right parties in Europe have not moderated. Their positions and rhetoric have entered the mainstream. They have become normalized and legitimized. Unless we understand this, we have little chance of countering their success.

Important to be aware that: Relative decoupling < absolute decoupling < sufficient decoupling. And since global emissions haven't peaked yet, we are still at relative decoupling. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply. It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall. 🧵1/13
