The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one. #NoBrainer www.theccc.org.uk/2026/03/11/c...

​​​​Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock​ – CCC  - Climate Change Committee

The independent, statutory body tested its cost and energy security conclusions against different scenarios. It found that the total additional cost of a single fossil fuel price spike of 2022 magnitude is likely to be as large as the total net additional cost of meeting the pathway to Net Zero across every year to 2050.

AI-generated Iran war videos surge as creators use new tech to cash in

The US-Israel war with Iran is being monetised by online creators with AI-generated misinformation.

Das hatte ich bereits im Januar gepostet.
Ich hoffe, dass angesichts der sehr hohen Preise an der Zapfsäule es nun auch alle verstehen, die eine lange Zukunft für #Verbrenner gefordert haben.

Unglücklicherweise wird die größte Volkswirtschaft der Welt derzeit von Klimawandelleugnern regiert, und die drittgrößte (Deutschland) von einer Regierung, die Gas und Verbrennungsmotoren priorisieren will.

Unsere digitale Öffentlichkeit hängt an den Servern einiger weniger Plattformkonzerne. Was könnte da schon schiefgehen? @leonido & @heimstaedt schlagen eine radikale Idee vor: offene digitale Infrastrukturen als Gemeingüter. Also Internet als Infrastruktur – nicht als Plattformbesitz.
