Everyone thats willing to see can see thats an underestimation. In the Netherlands we have an upward trend. 2025 +2.1 C see @Datagraver 's chart.
Everywhere industry has politicians scared or bought to back up on measures that will reduce CO2 /use of fossil fuel.

This is idiocy. No one is worth that pay package and lately Musk has been more of a broken mast than a sail. What does he _really_ do that delivers that much value to Tesla? Come to think of it, what does the typical billionaire CEO do their justifies the pay?
Could it actually be that these boards are packed with coconspirators friends approving each other's raises?

The role of commercial policy in politics is to keep private companies under control not to do them favors. That's to ensure, that #capitalism is not unleashed. That's the duty of the state towards its citizens. Because capitalism, at its core, is an Ouroboros that would devour itself if given the chance.

Almost every person in the US has had their information stolen from a corporation that forces people to share that information. I'm sick of paying for the corporation's carelessness and criminality.
Each time a person's identity is stolen and used by malicious characters, each corporation that allowed the harmed individual's information to be stolen should have to pay back the harmed individual, plus damages and interest.
"According to the new guidelines “avoiding reputational risk” is a new benchmark for EU funding of NGOs. And according to the commission, that risk is particularly stark if a grant is used for “sending letters, organising meetings or providing advocacy material to EU institutions or specific members of an institution; or identifying specific members or officials of an institution to evaluate or describe their positions, or to discuss specific political content or outcome.”
Should an NGO cross the vaguely and broadly described line, which most likely has no legal basis, a grant can be denied or suspended.
This can or will clearly have chilling effects and limit the democratic action space for civil society, and it will tip the balance even further towards the corporate lobby groups that already dominate the lobbying scene."
The EU Commission’s new policy guidelines state EU money can no longer be used for civil society’s advocacy work. It’s clear this could have a huge impact, not just for so-called ‘green NGOs’, but for all in the civil space in EU policymaking.
Why specifically #TikTok is a problem?
– Because it's a Chinese app (#racism) and people like to suppress the fact how problematic big American tech companies are (#corpocracy)
– Because right-wing propaganda works and middle and left-wing politicians don't want to admit that they just didn't try to be equally present there

Medieval Europe circa 1200's ...
We heard there are marauding, armed to the teeth hordes coming to Europe...
... so in order to protect, hmmm, let's say children, we should confiscate and ban all armor and weaponry here and prohibit serfs from learning defense strategies.

Oh, I think Japan has a keen understanding of Christmas. This is a brilliant commentary on how capitalism hijacks religion. High art.
Love it! 🤣
