Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump can put a million-percent tariffs on Denmark, and it still doesn't change the answer about Greenland. There are only two possible endings to this bizarre story. Either Trump gives up, or else he goes through with a military invasion.

Joint Statement on Greenland
Statement by President Macron of France, Chancellor Merz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Tusk of Poland, Prime Minister Sánchez of Spain, Prime Minister Starmer of the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Frederiksen of Denmark on Greenland.
Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and transatlantic security.
NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark - including Greenland - is part of NATO.
Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them.
The United States is an essential partner in this endeavour, as a NATO ally and through the defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States of 1951.
Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.

Things look bleak for the Russian budget. As expected Russian oil taxes in December will be over 20% lower than the previously lowest month in 2025. USD value for the calculation was 80,35 rubles. Expect things to be even worse in January.

Often, Berlin is the main veto player when it comes to decisive EU action. But this week, for once, Berlin is a key driver of getting both the reparations loan and Mercosur over the finish line. This time, the EU's ability to act act fully hinges on Rome's and Paris's will to jump.

The plan says that "A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States." This implies that both Russia and the Trump administration don't see the US as part of NATO in any real sense. That should deeply alarm every other NATO state.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language. It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

'Nancy with Feather Hat,' (1910) is a portrait of William Nicholson's daughter. Nancy was a painter and fabric designer and owed much of the style of her early designs to her mother, Mabel Pryde. In January 1918, she married the soldier-poet Robert Graves.

And the driving logic is no longer political but geopolitical: If the EU lets its regulatory mission of protecting Europeans get in the way of its corporate giants' ability to compete globally, Europe will end up being served on the table rather than seated at it.

In a gradual but now accelerating shift over the past few years, on everything from the green transition, AI & digital regulation and even EU defense, "l'Europe qui protége" is less about protecting Europeans and more about protecting EU corporate interests and competitiveness.

Interesting read, but I am not sure whether it's the smartest idea for Europe to "confront China" alongside the US. I do not think that the US is a reliable partner for Europe, and there's a considerable risk for Europe to become simply leverage for Washington. www.cer.eu/insights/thr...
