Interested in climate adaptation? Here’s a new read based on the RISKSEC project - all open access: “Adapting to climate change: Implications of risk-based approaches” link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
link.springer.com
Adapting to Climate Change
This open access book examines risk management as a type of policy logic that shapes and refracts the outcomes of climate change adaptation.

If our students only use AI for their exams and we only use AI to grade their papers, we could all save time and energy by having AI produce the diplomas. Full circle to a debate gone completely in the wrong direction. #AI #Norway

Question for those interested in Norwegian climate policy: do you have a “go-to” for a historical overview of Norway’s climate policies, say from 1985 until today? Looking for a list!

Question for fellow climate scholars, regardless of academic discipline: I'm working on the issue of time/temporality in climate knowledge, policies, decisions, etc. From politics to geological periods, decision processes to climate dynamics: any good tips for readings that deal with temporality?

Building roads and infrastructure is insanely expensive, takes time to finish, and so on. We know. But why do we not question the premise for the entire idea of Hordfast? What IS the argument for seeing Bergen, Stavanger and everything in between as one integrated region? www.nrk.no/vestland/sa-...
nrk.no
Så mykje vil Hordfast på E39 mellom Bergen og Stavanger kosta
Prisen på ferjefri E39 mellom Bjørnafjorden og Stord blir 53,7 milliardar kroner. Det er 7,5 milliardar meir enn tidlegare rekna med.

"Scientific asylums" for US academics in Europe? It's happening. I think I like it, but it is oh so important to remember to be just as forthcoming when equally deserving academics holding other passports knock on our doors! www.khrono.no/300-forskere...

86% of students that grew up in Oslo and attended higher education there, still resided in the city one year after finishing higher education. I'm thinking the up-and-comers of Oslo may well need to broaden their horizons a little! www.khrono.no/vokser-opp-i...

Det er vår felles kyst. Equinor sitt oljeutslipp. Kan de virkelig hemmeligholde hvor oljen slår på land? For 8 dager siden sendte jeg på vegne av @naturvernforbundet.no en forespørsel til Equinor og til oljebransjens eget oljevern om å få se registreringene av oljepåslag etter Njord A utslippet.

Equinor now starts using the Gulf of America instead Gulf of Mexico. Explains their idea of sustainability, perhaps.

Everyone likes a good and reliable weather forecast. Have anyone ever heard of any political party or campaign that took a clear stand against weather forecasting? The US was suppose to have a robust political system, but when it is possible to dismantle weather forecasting than anything goes.

This geopolitical dumbfuckery has to end. I'm afraid the narcissistic kindergarten behavior, the disgraceful rhetoric and complete lack of insight into what the world actually looks like will have consequences well beyond what the US, Europe, and certainly Ukraine can handle by "making deals".

Book burning? If everything was digital in Hitler's 1930s Germany, this is what his book burning would have looked like: deletion of data, removal of websites, retraction of scientific studies, censorship of words like "equity," "diversity," "climate change."

Natur og samfunn: Planlegging er kanskje en intrikat og byråkratisk side ved offentlig sektor, men det er helt sentralt i forvaltningen av forholdet mellom oss og omgivelsene våre. Hva når politikken virker mot sine egne intensjoner, nedfelt i lov og forskrift? www.nrk.no/ytring/svikt...
