Such sad news that Marjan Minnesma, best known for taking the NL govt to court on climate action, passed away. I had the privilege of working with her early in her career. She was such an inspiration, such a kind person, such a role model. Her legacy is gigantic.

The Dutch national news posted this picture on the Colombia conference on phasing out fossil fuel. The whole conference is of course a breath of fresh air and a source of hope. But how nice is it to get a picture with two female leaders instead of the usual dark suit line-up! nos.nl/artikel/2612...

Uruguay shows how to move to near 100% renewable energy: competent leadership. Nothing else. And what it brings to the economy: win-win everywhere! Growth, jobs, predictability, independence. Environment was not the reason but a side benefit. What is holding back EU countries? No excuses left.

What is driving the recent rate of global warming? That would be CO2, of course. Not as exciting as SO2, but climate change cannot be solved without getting CO2 emissions to zero. SO2 drives short-term changes, most recently, the decline in SO2 in China. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/exploring-...

The answer is very simple: STOP ALL UNINSURED TANKER TRANSPORT through the Finnish Gulf/Baltic Sea/Skagerrak. The Russian war economy is fully dependent (~55%!! of oil revenue) on the St Petersburg export route (+30% Black Sea/Bosporus). These chokepoints are Putin's incredibly weak Achilles' heels.
