There's a word in today's meme that might land harder than expected, and it's meant to — not as an accusation, but because what it names is structural and the structure needs a name before anything can change. The image is from the Farmastery — frost on kale at dawn. Something alive and tended, part of the story we're trying to live differently.

When Did This Become Normal? The UK's Weather Whiplash Should Worry Us All - Aerouant

UK weather whiplash: from historic drought to 40 days of rain. Why extreme weather swings are the new normal and what it means for food and farming.

It’s been a while since I shared something new. Not because I haven’t wanted to go out… but because the world outside feels unfamiliar lately. December in the Netherlands, normally a time of frost, quiet forests, and the promise of winter, has instead been hovering around 13°C — for weeks. No snow. No frozen ponds. Just rain and warm winds.

And it shows. Trees dropping their leaves later every year. Flowers blooming earlier. Birds already practicing mating calls they shouldn’t be singing in mid-winter. This isn’t “just the weather.” This is a system signalling distress. And after 35 years of fighting climate change — 25 of them actively through Greenpeace, Fossil Free NL, and the Partij voor de Dieren — it weighs on me. I’m angry. I’m tired. And yes, I’m in a depressive episode.

But even in that darkness, light sometimes breaks through.

About two weeks ago in the Kampina, the sun managed to pierce through the dense trees for a brief moment, sending pale golden rays across the forest path. A rare, fragile moment of beauty in a warming world. I captured it handheld with my Canon 5DsR and the Sigma Art set at 44 mm — f/2.8, 1/500s — in the soft, misty morning light around 09:00.

"  We call it climate change, but it’s not the climate that’s failing. It’s us—our greed, our silence, our memory. The planet is not in crisis. We are." L. Nault

Good to hear some #climatereality from #mylesallen this morning. Changing weather patterns aren't a surprise; let's stop emissions, as well as capturing carbon

More renewables ≠ less fossil fuels. A new study reveals the energy transition isn’t as simple as we thought. #ClimateReality #EnergyPolicy #FossilFuels

The Renewable Illusion: Why Green Energy Isn’t Replacing Fossil Fuels | Geekoo

A new study finds that renewable energy growth in the U.S. hasn’t reduced fossil fuel production. To truly decarbonize, experts say, we must implement direct policies targeting fossil fuel output.

Wir sehen hier den Club Mar-a-Lago, in dem der 47. Präsident der USA residiert, wenn er nicht in New York oder Washington ist.
Was glaubst Du, wann es dort wirklich so aussehen wird?
a) In 25 Jahren, weil der ehemalige Präsident schon in seiner letzten Amtszeit die menschengemachte Erderhitzung leugnete und nichts dagegen unternahm?

b) In 20 Jahren, weil er für die nächste Amtszeit die Devise „Drill, Baby, drill!“ ausgegeben hat, weil er nach wie vor nicht auf die Wissenschaftler der Copernicus, European Space Agency, NASA climatechange, Prof.Dr. Harald_Lesch, und Sven Plöger CopernicusECMWF, Climate change Service,, IPCC, etc. hört.

c) In 75 Jahren, weil alle anderen Länder auf der Welt sich an das Pariser Abkommen halten.

d) Nie, weil der mächtigste Mann der Welt von allen anderen Ländern davon überzeugt werden konnte, dass es besser ist, alles daran zu setzen, damit künftige Generationen eine lebenswerte Welt vorfinden, wenn sie geboren werden.

Schreib’s in die Kommentare.
Wir würden uns wünschen, wenn wir alle Politiker:innen, Meinungsmacher:innen und Entscheidungsträger:innen davon überzeugen könnten, die vereinbarten Klimaziele einzuhalten.
Machst Du mit?
