I'm incredibly happy to see that Nabiha Syed has taken over as director of the Mozilla Foundation. I think this is the first real ray of hope I've had for the future of the open web in... Idk, like a decade? We worked together while she was at BuzzFeed, and it's been a genuine delight to stay in touch since. I look forward to seeing where she takes Mozilla, and to a future with much less bullshit in it.

Der Staat untergräbt die eigene Klimapolitik durch Subventionierung von Verkehr. Das zu beenden würde den Haushalt entlasten.

Capitalism is killing us.

This unrelenting senseless drive for economic growth at all costs means more of everything — more cars, more roads, more shopping centers, more cheap disposable plastic products, more waste, more factories, more fossil fuels, more CO2 emissions, and more global heating.

And that means more storms, more floods, more wildfires, more smoke, more droughts, more famines, more extinctions, and many many more deaths.

It's time to stop. Turn it off.

---

For us to have even a small chance of avoiding setting off irreversible chain reactions far beyond human control we need drastic, immediate, far-reaching emissions cuts at the source.

When your bathtub is about to overflow, you don't go looking for buckets or start covering the floor with towels — you start by turning off the tap as soon as you possibly can. Leaving the water running means ignoring or denying the problem, delaying doing anything to resolve it, and downplaying its consequences.

„Nicht nur Sonnen- und Windstrom wachsen exponentiell – das Gleiche gilt für den Weltmarkt für Elektroautos , auch wenn man in Deutschland derzeit ständig das Gegenteil zu hören bekommt. Fossile Propaganda gibt es auch hierzulande.“

Trump wants to:

Extend his tax cuts — which have made billionaires $2 trillion richer

Cut Social Security — which working people pay into for a lifetime

Would you like to keep your retirement money? Or would you like to gift it to billionaires?

That is your choice in 2024.

Liebe Medien, könnt ihr seit über 100 Jahren etablierte Fakten bitte einfach als Fakten berichten?
Nicht: „Als ein wesentliches Treibhausgas gilt CO2,“ wie ich gerade im RBB höre.
Sondern: „Ein wesentliches Treibhausgas ist CO2.“
Sonst klingt es als wisst ihr das nicht.

Der Druck auf die fossilen Energiefirmen steigt, die organisiert die Öffentlichkeit (und Investoren) getäuscht und Klimapolitik sabotiert haben.
Etliche ihrer "Klimaskeptiker"-Falschbehauptungen sind nach wie vor in den sozialen Medien und Teilen der Politik beliebt.
