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...

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.

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?

Identifying who you are is a legitimate requirement, I guess - but what I don't understand is the need for separate registering process before voting: why aren't voting rights simply connected to citizenship in existing registries? I mean, surely the US knows who its citizens are... or?

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.

seems like a discursive triumph of populism: when everyone (both sides, I guess) is preoccupied with attacking some "elite" that supposedly is a danger for "the people", it is hard to join forces for the actual common good: the joint endeavor is to dismantle elites, not to improve society. Or?

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".
