Hurray, a new war and peace episode! 🎉

Oh no, the world still needs another war an peace episode 😿

Thanks, that brings some clarity, but could you maybe specify more concretely what processes you judge that the anti-putin opposition has condoned, and in which manner they did it?

(Also, is anti-putin opposition really such a homogeneous group one can consider its members as interchangeable when talking about responsibility?)

@PopovaProf
I apologise if I come across as rude, but I've now read this several times and I don't feel I understand the scope of your point.

Are you saying that before discussing Wester influence on the past actions of Russia they need to do something like a land acknowledgment about Russian imperialism?

Or do they need some deeper penance? Or should they give up on the topic forever because they are all so personally complicit in the war?

As predicted, just earlier: the initial „global greening“ effect due to our CO2 emissions has already been overwhelmed by the negative effect of climate change on vegetation. We’re now already into „global browning“.

Hugely important paper!

"Global greening" since the 1980s actually reversed around the year 2000

The trend turned to "browning" in 90% of vegetated area due to climates becoming too hot and dry in…

EirGrid: "We welcome today the signing of key financial and technical agreements for the #CelticInterconnector project. This is a significant milestone and an 'anchor' in the future of the Ireland-France energy relationship.

The Celtic Interconnector is a key part of EirGrid’s strategic goal to transform Ireland’s power system and increase the use of renewable electricity. Interconnection with France makes the power system more resilient." 🇮🇪🤝🇫🇷 #energy #EnergySecurity

Leave a functional, widely adopted commercial project in favor of a more cumbersome, DIY alternative that takes more work?

Of course, I’m talking about when I left Word for LaTeX

Genuinely perplexed by the fact that we tally up the number of fossil fuel delegates at each #COP27 and calculate how much it grows every year, and cover the various ways in which they influence the outcome, but yet never think to tap them for loss and damage funding, or require the sorts of emissions-reductions commitments from them that we require from countries. They are more powerful and more responsible than any one country. They wanna play? Game on!

A promise from the developed world to foot more of the climate bill has raised fresh hopes of a breakthrough at the UN climate summit COP27. But there were fears it could collapse over the question of money. It was supposed to finish on Friday and is now expected to go on until at least Saturday.
