@nminkmar.bsky.social beschreibt anhand der Waldbrände in Frankreich klar worauf es im Katastrophenfall suf allen Seiten ankommt….

Text: Peyrondet und sein Team waren nicht Tennis spielen und erfanden auch keine Telefonate mit Macron. Mehrmals am Tag gab es auf der Seite des Rathauses eine durchdachte, gut verständliche und ausführliche Lagebeschreibung. Überhaupt war die Kommunikation aller politisch Verantwortlichen die wahre Freude in der entsetzlichen Lage: Immer aufrichtig, nie selbstbezogen, sondern lösungsorientiert und wertschätzend.

The usual lies from climate deniers like Matt Ridley. Part of a broader pattern of paltering by bad actors like Bjorn Lomborg who misleadingly merge managed croplands & plains (which have seen decreases) with forests. See: www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-no...

We have clear line-of-sight to the full depletion of all the oil stockpiles except the Chinese strategic reserves in an amount of time measured in weeks, which is probably the point at which oil prices will double or even more.

Can anyone explain why conventional power plants in Germany increased their output this afternoon, even though power prices were negative and the country was exporting massive amounts of electricity? What stopped them from maintaining morning output? What am I missing here? #Energiewende

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day. Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...
