Nouvelle étude : plus de la moitié des Européens se sentent « coupés » des transports publics

Dans tous les pays européens, les citoyens sont confrontés à la précarité en matière de transport. Notre pays obtient également des résultats particulièrement médiocres dans une nouvelle étude commandée par Greenpeace. L’organisation environnementale appelle les gouvernements à investir de toute urgence dans une mobilité abordable et accessible pour tous

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen.

And it worked.

Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%.

Industrial process heat is the real prize.

The most brazen thefts of public funds that has ever occurred, just happened.

President Donald #Trump has secured a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded "Anti-Weaponization Fund" in exchange for dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the #IRS.

The settlement, announced by the #DOJ, establishes a fund to compensate individuals who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration's legal system, including January 6 insurrectionists and Trump allies.

Thats right y’all, the Jan6ers, Proud Boys, KKK and the rest, just got almost 2 Billion dollars to rebuild their militias.

This takes #kakistocracy to a whole new level of corruption.

Repeated exposure to climate-related stressors can activate chronic stress responses in the body.

“Over time, prolonged stress can influence hormones, inflammation, and neurological pathways associated with anxiety and depression,” she added

“When these patterns begin to shift or feel unpredictable, it can create a sense of instability and loss of control or feelings of diminished control over the future,”

that loss of predictability is deeply personal

Below are two headlines that should have never existed. Uniavisen - the independently-run newspaper at the University of Copenhagen - has just published two articles side by side.

On the right, the student activists who - together with Greta Thunberg - are facing criminal prosecution for a peaceful blockade of their own university back in 2024, demanding the university's management end their ties to Israeli institutions in the midst of genocide and scholasticide in Palestine: https://uniavisen.dk/studenteraktivister-skal-i-retten-efter-blokadeforsoeg-paa-koebenhavns-universitet/
The students repeated a tactic used back in the student revolts of 1968, which the university proudly recounts as an example of student democracy:

On the left, the prorector for education defending the fact that students are being sent to trial for protesting the university's policies, while also saying the whole situation is "tragic": https://uniavisen.dk/prorektor-studerende-gik-over-graensen-i-blokadeforsoeg/

All this is happening while there are national calls alerting that Danish universities are increasingly losing any semblance of protection for democratic participation, academic freedom and political engagement: https://dm.dk/forskerforum/magasinet/2024/forskerforum-nr-4-2024/akademisk-frihed-under-pres/
