This is ”Tourist-water”. An embodiment of the hydropower myth.
Despite its beauty, the flow has no ecological benefits. #touristwater #revisionsndtheriver #hydropowermyth #hydropeaking #artisticresearch

It’s 1pm and the sun is setting up north. Out for a lunch walk with my buddy. There”s no snow on the ski trails but the sun finally broke through the rain.

Döden på Vitön! Så hjärtskärande detta dokumentär är. Vilken historia. Vilka bilder. Dessutom är en av de medverkande experter min f.d. handledare Tyrone Martinsson som gick bort i våras, alldeles för ung. Han hade forskat om bilderna som hittades efter. Se den! www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgW5...

DN Debatt. ”Vår forskning kan inte viftas bort som åsikter” – alla undertecknare Mer än 1 000 forskare skriver på DN Debatt för att protestera mot hur politiker missbrukar forskningsresultat eller ignorerar vetenskaplig…

1000 forskare varnar för regeringens vetenskapsförakt

"Regeringen har därmed ignorerat Naturvårdsverkets vetenskapliga analys. [...] Ännu ett exempel på hur politiker prioriterar specifika särintressen, i stället för att lyssna på etablerad expertis och forskning."
