Just as Putin, Orban and Trump all seem to recognize that tyrants have shared interests, so too we need to recognize that those who would be rid of tyrants too have shared interests that cross national borders.

Climate change is an environmental issue – but it’s not only an environmental issue. It affects our health, and the economy. It impacts food, water, and resources. It contributes to geopolitical instability and even conflict. Here are the Canadian scientists who study this.

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate. The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

Leadership races are interesting because they can be about ideas, and the federal Liberals should go big on cities, telling people how they will make the one they live in better.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The problem of too many cars isn’t just about the tailpipe. And altho EVs seemingly address that issue (or “move” it, depending on the electricity source), their increased weight, and the potential increase in size & distance driven (due to #JevonsParadox) make EVs “complicated.”
