bij zowat 80% van de artikels op sporza staat er een link naar een tweet
mochten sites met zo'n groot publiek daar al eens mee ophouden en zo X zuurstof blijven geven zou het al een groot verschil maken
of gewoon, dat ze een geweten hebben en het niet langer gebruiken als "nieuwsbron"
Let's face it, 1.5 is dead. And unless a miracle happens, we'll shoot past 2 degrees in the next ten or fifteen years. After that, with climate feedbacks, tipping points, and cascading effects, 3 degrees of warming or even higher is probable by the end of this century.
That can mean only one thing. A collapse of our fragile, tenuous, global industrial civilization. It might happen gradually, it might happen suddenly, but it will happen and it will be catastrophic.
Our rulers know about this. And yet they've chosen to do nothing. Or, actually, they've chosen to go all in, pushing for increased consumption, stronger economic growth, and even more fossil fuel use — because it's incredibly profitable. 💵 💵 💵
So, what can you and I do?
Jem Bendell says our best choice is to accept what is happening to our world, embrace the collapse, and turn our efforts toward what comes next. He says: "We’re going to collapse into community, and what we can play for is what we find there when it’s all we have."

#ClimateDiary An Eastbourne friend just told us about how he went to hear Simon Reeve at the Congress theatre on Friday. He showed us this image he had taken from Reeve’s talk: “this amount of ice melts every HOUR. You could hear a pin drop in the audience. When you see it like that it really brings it home.”
Well done Simon Reeve for talking about climate change in the Eastbourne Congress theatre (not a climate activist crowd, more the opposite) - and for using an image that works.

Popular cruise ship ports do not have enough electricity infrastructure for ships to use whilst at dock. They need to run their engines when tied up, leaving these places with terrible air pollution.
And the sulfur scrubbers just shift the problem.

“Scrubbers effectively turn air pollution into water pollution,”
OPGEPAST!
Moderne mensen scrollen vlot,
het schenkt hun schijnbaar groot genot.
Slechts één ding dat de pret beknot:
het risico op hersenrot.
