Absolutt! Du og flere løftet fram mange viktige punkter. Vi vil gjerne høre mer, fra myndigheter, planleggere, brukere, og naboer av veien. Altså fra hele samfunnet!

Det er mange hensyn - og ønskene, behovene, eksemplene varierer. Mange har meldt seg, men #naturen #fotgjengerne #barn og #eldre glimrer foreløpig med sitt fravær… Hederlig unntak for innspill fra
@naturvernhordaland.bsky.social. Så send flere, og bredere, innspill!

Gi innspill – Veglovutvalget

Så #veg griper inn i nesten alt som betyr noe i samfunnet - framkommelighet for alle typer kjøretøy, syklister, fotgjengere, selvsagt, men også by- og tettstedsplanlegging, samfunnsikkerhet, folkehelse, natur, turisme, friluftsliv, etc. Synspunkt? Gi oss innspill her! veglovutvalget.no/gi-innspill/

Takk for gode innspill, Anine! Og takk for at du sprer budskapet om #veglovutvalgets arbeid - veier er en superviktig fysisk og digital infrastruktur i samfunnet, og hvordan disse veiene planlegges, bygges, driftes, brukes og reguleres er superviktig for samfunnet og samfunnsplanleggingen!

⚠️ Tipping points are often framed as looming risks.
🌱 But positive tipping points show how targeted action can rapidly shift systems toward safe and just futures.

🎥 In this video, Commissioner Tim Lenton explains why tipping points aren’t just something to fear — but something we can activate.

Europe should treat energy security as defence policy We must move beyond thinking solely in terms of efficiency and decarbonisation to prioritise resilience

"A clean, homegrown energy system with resilient infrastructure and storage is critical to securing the continent’s sovereignty."

Good piece from former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

Mapping tipping risks from Antarctic ice basins under global warming - Nature Climate Change Climate change threatens the future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Here the authors show that individual drainage basins have different thresholds and loss patterns, suggesting the need to consider the d...

⚠️"A first threshold, potentially as low as 1–2 °C above pre-industrial levels, triggers the long-term collapse of ~40% of marine ice volume in West Antarctica"

I.e. The Paris Agreement target locks in approximately 2.1 metres sea-level equivalent from WAIS alone.

Extreme weather events Global warming and environmental degradation weaken agricultural systems and reduce crop resilience in major production zones. Acute weather events trigger simultaneous crop failures across two major staple food production areas, causing global food supply shocks and price spikes. Supply chain disruptions, amplified by extreme weather events, further push up food costs. The crisis cascades through economies with markets anticipating higher inflation and lower growth. https://www.nbim.no/contentassets/d2359913e3a64cdc866bf19fa16782ab/gpfg_stresstesting-2025.pdf

Man antar altså at økonomien vokser 3% i året, uavbrutt av klimaendringer, altså dobles hvert ~23.år. Så dempes denne veksten noe, typisk 10-20%, per tiår, av klimaendringer.

Man ser denne «logikken» i oljefondet sin vurdering av klimarisiko. En strukturell krymping av økonomien er aldri nevnt.

From: https://greenfuturessolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Recalibrating-Climate-Risk-Report-Final.pdf A common misconception of climate-related GDP damage figures is to assume that 20% GDP damage means taking a baseline of 100 and subtracting 20% = so an economy structurally smaller at 80% the size of what we have today.

However, economists (via the shared socio-economic pathways, SSPs) have created a magical economy whereby 3% annual GDP growth continues indefinitely into the future, irrespective of climate change damage severity. And only then, is 20% subtracted from that growth enlarged total pie, of a fictional future world without climate change. At no point do economists models factor in the possibility of the economy structurally declining in size.

Mange vil nok bli overrasket når de skjønner hvordan økonomer regner inn hvordan global oppvarming påvirker økonomien.

Man antar først at BNP vokser 2-3% i året, for alltid(!). Så, for hver grad oppvarming, 0.2-0.3C per tiår, antas en 10-20% reduksjon av GDP (ikke- lineær skadefunksjon).

The unbearable experience of walking in a heatwave of the future – video Graham Readfearn stepped into a climate chamber to experience what effects the heatwaves of the future will have on the human body

Recommended watch: A Guardian video explored the “unbearable experience of walking in a heatwave in the future”.

Jan/Feb 2026 sees the publication of three children's books about Eunice Newton Foote, the 19th-century American scientist and women's rights campaigner who was the first to experimentally demonstrate the greenhouse effect, 3 years before John Tyndall did so in London.

Most people are worried about climate change - but most don't hear or talk about regularly.

That's why I started my free newsletter Talking Climate. Every week I share good news, not so good news, and what people can do.

Multiple Global Change Stressors Boost Soil Greenhouse Gas Emissions Worldwide

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.

The “silent majority” for #ClimateAction needs to get loud.

People want action. Smart cities need to go much further, much faster.
