«If you rule out the fast phase out of fossil fuels, then you have to either remove carbon from the atmosphere, or reflect sunlight. Who decided that geoengineering was more feasible than rapid fossil fuel phase out?»

The male genius myth is harmful to everyone. As a Nordic female academic, I was shocked by the culture when I was a visiting scholar at Harvard. It is so much better to be a female professor in the Nordics!

Her er Ketil Rakness god: "Epstein-dokumentene minner oss om at politisk ulikhet ikke bare handler om økonomiske ressurser, men også om overlegen tilgang til informasjon om hva beslutningstagere tenker." www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...
So I guess that's it. New START has expired and almost 54 years of bilateral US-Soviet/Russia strategic nuclear arms control ends (for now).
You are far away from a democracy when government affiliates are open about how they work to hinder free elections.
The Washington Post has laid off least 14 climate journalists, newsroom sources told @sammyroth.bsky.social, effectively decimating one of the most important reporting teams in American climate journalism.
A sad, terrifying, enraging day for the planet.

Hvorfor, hvordan og når bør vi formidle forskningen vår til andre enn studenter og andre forskere? Hva er spesielt med formidling av statsvitenskapelig klimaforskning? Jeg synser litt om dette i denne teksten, forhåpentligvis til noe nytte for andre.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
The murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good send a terrifying signal to protesters: if you are against us, we can kill you with impunity. This is a classical authoritarian strategy. Increase the costs of opposing the regime to stop people from protesting.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
Turns out defending international law in a world of predators is impossible if you don't have sufficient force to defend yourself.
Turns out that there are emissions scenarios for all tastes and climate policy preferences - who can guess which bureaucrats love the @ipcc.bsky.social scenarios more?
