…samtidig med at de samme landene (og alle andre land) må gjennom en hard fossil detox. En formidabel oppgave, men metodene og løsningene har vi, og de overlapper både i utførelse og søkt resultat. Jeg har troen, men først må kortsiktig profitt slutte å være driveren for alle valg vi gjør.

Den vinddrevne Golfstrømmen vil bestå, selv om den store Atlantiske sirkulasjonen (AMOC) skulle kollapse. Har mange sagt helt til nå. Nye og mer detaljerte havmodeller viser nå en kraftig nordlig dreining av Golfstrømmen lenge før en amoc-kollaps. Å lete etter mer fossilt er fortsatt viktigst🤦

"an eventual AMOC collapse is possibly already unavoidable, even under moderate climate change ..., unless a drastic reduction in greenhouse emissions will occur enabling a safe overshoot" wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Breaking: A new review paper of the tipping point risk of the Atlantic ocean circulation system known as #AMOC has been published. 🌊 The evidence has broadened over the last years that the present AMOC is in a multi-stable regime, posing a risk of tipping 😨. dx.doi.org/10.1002/wcc....

Around one-third of electric cars in Denmark participate in smart charging services of a range of suppliers, which help to balance the energy system by delivering system services to Energinet, the transmission system operator. That's an impressive figure!

"It is now clear that, for Europe, decarbonization is no longer just a climate imperative; it is a matter of energy security ... policy approaches that balance the acute needs of the moment ...with the longer-term interests of the 🇪🇺 economy: decarbonization, competitiveness, and productivity growth"

What does London look like through the eyes of a 10-year-old? These children at Mandeville Primary School were born the same year the Mayor was elected. A decade later, they’re reading a letter they wrote to him about their lives, their city, and their hopes for the future.

Meget vigtigt debatindlæg om hvordan AI og teknologi fundamentalt vil forandre arbejdsmarkedet og at vores, desværre temmelig blanke teknologianalfabet politikere, virkelig skal forberede samfundet på en anden virkelighed. Det er ikke noget der kan klares med xenofobi og fascisme!

For #FindsFriday and #FlintFriday a beautiful Mousterian spearpoint 🤩. Made by Neanderthals between 52 and 40.000 BP near Esbeek. It is the largest Neanderthal site in the Netherlands, discovered by Piet van Gisbergen. In 20 yrs he found over 5500 artefacts. Acquired @rmoudheden.bsky.social in 2025

Hmm, experimenting with an AI bot just now I asked it to draft a Bluesky thread on motonormativity - and it wrote a really solid 6-tweet thread. I'm not going to post it, but I am slightly chuffed to see that our work must be sufficiently well covered out there that a language model can do that 😀

Pretty radical design to convert a multi-storey carpark into 111 apartments in Staffordshire I’d estimate this would save around 30% embodied carbon compared to a new build! www.bbc.com/news/article...

”We found that old-growth forests store 78-89% more carbon than managed forests do, a difference in carbon storage larger than Sweden’s cumulative emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels since 1834.” Old-growth forests are important for biodiversity too. theconversation.com/swedens-old-...

The range of our solidarity is shrinking all over Europe, influencing political landscapes. In France, iconic bars-tabacs are closing, stripping communities of a key social lifeline. A new study links the decline of neighbourhood bars with the rise in support for the far-right National Rally.

“urban thinkers see another way: cities designed for people, not cars. It sounds utopian, maybe even naïve, but.. it’s achievable if city builders are willing to take bold steps & rethink the status quo.” @byaseale.bsky.social h/t @brenttoderian.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article...

Why this matters 👇 Petro-states are actively trying to keep Europe dependent. At home, attacks on green policies by far right and lobbies are growing. And people are struggling with the cost of living. Home decarbonisation is one of the few solutions that can deliver real, visible benefits.

"Electricity generated from wind and solar is largely insulated from fossil fuel price volatility – once built, the fuel is free." This is what I told @dharna.bsky.social @theguardian.com who published this article. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Mange poengterer at det er de med best råd som kjører mest elbil. Og det er sant. Men det er ikke riktig å gå derfra til å hevde at de som har best råd ikke kjører mest fossil. La oss se på de tallene som finnes.

⛓️‍💥 It’s time to free our homes from fossil fuels. In practice, that means: solar panels, heat pumps and insulation upgrades. Solutions to make us rely on affordable, crisis-proof renewable energy. This isn’t about one single technology. It’s about combining them. Let’s call them “Independence Kits”

The role of active transport in reducing inactivity has been largely overlooked. Transport as a driver for increased physical activity means improving safety, overall conditions for transport-related PA (walking, bicycling AND public transport). Take note: Public transport is also active mobility.

Nice to see #TRBOT have good ideas again about actual public transport solutions. Fare and service integration is so critical, not just free transfers (and including UPExpress). This includes sharing and coordinating timetables between agencies and common timetable change days to keep in sync.

My research article “Quantitative Method for Assessing the Quality of Intermodal/Interagency Connections and Service Integration at Suburban Rail Stations” has been published in the @trb.org Transportation Research Record. This is based on my MASc @uoft.me on coordination between transit services.

On the eve of the @livingstreets.bsky.social Walking Summit in Liverpool, I'm calling out this lack of imagination. We should refuse to accept that avoidable deaths/injury are "your fault." Watch the whole debate, led out by @patcleary.bsky.social wirral.public-i.tv/core/portal/...

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), and a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Getting around a bike more often could reduce dementia risk.

Third graph with correctly rendered background:

Fourth: this leaves a severely fragmented party system. By my count 🇩🇰 now has the 2nd most fragmented parliament in Europe, surpassed only by 🇧🇪. Traditionally, parties have delivered mostly stable governance in spite of fragmentation. But we are in uncharted territory. (4/4)

Third: the mainstream left loses votes to the radical right. A familiar pattern reemerged: the single biggest voter movement between blocs was Social Democrats losing voters to the Danish People's Party. (Based on estimates from the final YouGov poll). (3/4)
