To wrap this up, this is HUGE!
This is a great step forward towards fair and just climate handling, and something everybody should be proud of.
And this also means that doing your part works! Coming together and voicing what's right is how democracy works.
Let's all rejoice for this historical moment, there's still a lot of work to do!✊

Created a new sequence of #360degrees #photosphere images for #Mapillary and #Panoramax in Loonse & Drunense Duinen National Park, just days before a huge #fire destroyed much of the area. Will see if it's possible to access the park again later. https://api.panoramax.xyz/#focus=pic&map=17/51.637403/5.107577&pic=1d303086-8a36-4599-9890-dde8fe65af89&pic_type=equirectangular&speed=250&theme=default&xyz=355.52/-17.04/30

You go out at night eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru

You keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars

Whatever you're doing, take a short break and read this. This is the system we've made for ourselves. Not only in the US, but everywhere we want a harsher stand, and don't want to be bothered with the consequences. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/canadian-detained-us-immigration-jasmine-mooney
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority

Last week, British Petroleum announced that it was slashing more than $5 billion in planned green energy investments. At the same time that BP cut its renewables portfolio, it said it was going to invest $10 billion more in oil and gas.

Oil companies are dropping renewable goals — and more importantly, expanding fossil fuels

While oil companies drop their pledges to look into sustainable energy, it's important to remember they were never big in that market.

This is terrifying. A perfectly legal German citizen tourist, with a return ticket to Berlin in hand, stuck in the US gulag because an ICE agent decided she was up to something, with no evidence.
