In seinem letzten Interview als Bundestagsabgeordneter beschreibt Robert Habeck nochmal präzise, was die Union gerade tut: Sie spaltet das Land mit quatschigem Kulturkampf, um von den Problemen abzulenken. Lesenswert:

taz.de

Robert Habeck tritt ab: „Ich will nicht wie ein Gespenst über die Flure laufen“

Ex-Vizekanzler Habeck verlässt den Bundestag. Die Grünen hätten ihre neue Rolle nun gefunden, sagt er der taz. Und dann gibt er Julia Klöckner noch eins mit.

Climate change reduces farming efficiency, which leads to more land use to grow enough food, which leads to more emissions, and so on and so forth... Major paper coming out on this feedback loop in a couple of days from the University of Minnesota, @projectdrawdown.bsky.social, and others!

Corn ethanol is a bad idea. You could retire 97% of it back to nature, out the remaining 3% in solar, and come out even.

Manche Menschen träumen ja davon, eine CO2-Aufnahme durch Wälder gegenzurechnen, um die fossilen Emissionen weniger reduzieren zu müssen. Bad News: seit Jahren sind die deutschen Wälder zur CO2-Quelle geworden, so schlecht geht es ihnen im Klimawandel. Und nicht nur bei uns.

Sometimes that works better... Like here, where AI really did the trick, by labelling this Giant Anteater, that we almost didn't see ourselves. The left picture is the original footage, AI labelled - by increasing the brightness the giant anteater becomes visible for us as well.
