Mailand: Baut für 250 Mio. € dieses tolle 750km langes Radnetz aus geschützten Radschnellwegen.

Berlin: Baut für 400 Mio. € eine neue Schnellstraße, für 1,5 Mrd. € eine neue Autobahn und kürzt das Budget für den Radverkehr um 10%.

Alle haben es verstanden. Wann endlich wir?

Wow, die International Chess Federation mit den misogynsten Regeln ever bei Transgender-Änderungen:

If a player holds any of the women titles, but the gender has been changed
to a man, the women titles are to be abolished.

If a player has changed the gender from a man into a woman, all the previous titles
remain eligible.

Weil ein Titel bei den Frauen ja nichts wert ist...

Der Juli 2023 wird nach Einschätzung des Chef-Klimatologen der US-Raumfahrtbehörde Nasa der weltweit heißeste Monat seit "Hunderten, wenn nicht Tausenden Jahren" werden. "Wir sehen beispiellose Veränderungen überall auf der Welt, die Hitzewellen, die wir in den USA, in Europa und in China sehen, sprengen Rekorde", sagte Gavin Schmidt.

"I Hope To God I Am Wrong" – Climate Change "Going Through The Roof"

https://www.medialens.org/2023/i-hope-to-god-i-am-wrong-climate-change-going-through-the-roof/

Media Lens takes a look at the different ways people may respond to all of the potentially frightening signals about climate breakdown we've been seeing lately...
_________________________

There are two key responses to news of the latest climate disasters:

‘It’s bad, but not that bad. It’s manageable and we can carry on pretty much as normal.’

An alternative take:

‘No, it is that bad. This is just the ball starting to roll – it will gather more and more and more momentum, and it won’t stop. We need drastic change now!‘

The second of these is inarguably correct. The first is the underlying message delivered by state-corporate media that have a vested interest in the status quo, in discouraging us from seeking serious change. Despite a mountain of evidence, we are assured that the crisis is under the management of fundamentally decent, rational leaders. And this is exactly why the level of public alarm does not yet reflect the terrifying, rollercoaster reality depicted in the soaring and crashing graphs measuring temperatures and ice coverage.

Professor Bill McGuire, Emeritus Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards at University College London, tweeted last month:

"I hope to God I am wrong, but to me it is looking increasingly as if we have reached some sort of tipping point, with the global temperature, sea-surface temperature, ice loss, and other parameters, all going through the roof."

McGuire was responding to reports headlined by CNN: "Four alarming charts that show just how extreme the climate is right now"

The report noted:

>> We’re only halfway through 2023 and so many climate records are being broken, some scientists are sounding the alarm, fearing it could be a sign of a planet warming much more rapidly than expected. <<

The ‘four alarming charts’ showed that global air temperatures have risen to record levels in 2023. Oceans are also heating up to record levels and show no sign of stopping. Antarctic sea ice is at record lows. And atmospheric carbon dioxide levels hit a new record high in 2023. But many of these records are not merely being broken, they are being obliterated.

Brian McNoldy, an expert in hurricanes and sea level rise at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School, captured it exactly:

"I know there are a million people sharing temperature anomaly charts and maps lately, but there’s a good reason for that. This is totally bonkers, and people who look at this stuff routinely can’t believe their eyes. Something very weird is happening."
