Man man. Tom Sauer in de @deafspraak.bsky.social is zo tenenkrullend. Waarom krijgt die man een keer op keer een platform voor zijn onzin? De inval van Rusland tegen Georgië noemt hij “intern”. Dan stopt het toch? En de beïnvloeding van Rusland bij Bexit is omdat we “Poetin hebben kwaad gemaakt”

People in Belgium are now boasting about the nationality of the new Nobel laureate in physics, almost as if they contributed personally to his work, but miss the real point: after his PhD at a Belgian university, he moved to the US because of better funding and a more fertile research environment.

The emphasis on tree planting suggests that the issue is that trees don’t know how to reproduce. The core issue is always land use, and giving space back to natural processes. Every planted tree is 50 y of postponed adaptation

With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.
