MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.
For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

Vi er bekymret over skogbrannene i Europa, men ta en kikk på Afrikas skogbranner. Media bør kanskje løfte blikket?

Kjernekraft vil selvsagt bli billigere og tryggere, "i fremtiden".
De som ikke kjøper den påstanden kan lese @EinarWilly om hvorfor kjernekraft blåser langt forbi kostnads- og tidsestimater.

Deler denne igjen. Å gå løs på andre mennesker på denne måten er såpass grenseoverskridende galt at det burde opprøre. Men det sjåføren gjør blir heiet på og jublet over i sosiale medier, av altfor mange.

Please don't kill peaceful protesters for blocking your vehicle!
You don't have to stay calm, but assault is illegal.
Protesters don't like that they have to do this either.
But they are desperate because nothing really worked the past 40 years.

Det forskes i om de brutale reaksjonene mot @JustStop_Oil aksjonistene skyldes skamfølelse hos dem "som griper inn". De garderer seg ved å late som om klimakrisen er fiktiv.

Nå er det panikk blant dem som lever av å forsyne petroholikerne.

Hvorfor jeg er dypt skeptisk til Karbonavgift til fordeling, til avledning fra fossil energi til rødt kjøtt, til grønn vekst og til mye annet rart vi dresseres til å tro om klimainnsats.
Vi må må slutte å subsidiere oljeselskapene, vi må slutte å lete etter mer fossil energi.
Kjapp måte å miste lappen på, dette.

“The results are there: in 10 years, car traffic has decreased by 40%, and pollution by 45%. #Paris now has more than 1,120 km of cycle paths, compared to 200 km in 2001.” — Paris Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo.
But the mayor wants to do much more to specifically prioritize pedestrians.
Code de la rue : priorité aux piétons.
Face à l’urgence climatique, nous adaptons Paris et changeons radicalement nos manières de nous déplacer. Les Parisiennes et les Parisiens l’ont bien compris ! En un temps record, ils se sont massivement appropriés les pistes cyclables.
Les résultats sont là : en 10 ans, la circulation automobile a diminué de 40%, et la pollution de 45%. Paris compte aujourd’hui plus de 1120 km de pistes cyclables, contre 200km en 2001.
Mais ces changements rapides se sont accompagnés d'inquiétudes exprimées légitimement par les Parisiennes et les Parisiens.
Pour y répondre, avec notre @PMdeParis qui compte déjà plus de 1000 agents, nous multiplions les contrôles et aménageons plus d’espace pour les piétons comme avec les rues aux écoles. Notre objectif : 300 rues aux écoles d’ici à 2026.
Vous l'avez affirmé lors des #DialoguesCitoyens : il faut aller encore plus loin ! C’est tout le sens du Code de la rue que nous présentons, qui s’appuie sur 6 principes :
➡️ Protéger les piétons, c’est notre priorité en supprimant les places de stationnement autour des passages piétons pour éviter les accidents. Et je le dis plus aucune piste cyclable sur les trottoirs !
➡️ Renforcer le rôle de la police municipale, c’est plus de vidéo verbalisation : tolérance zéro pour les infractions sur les trottoirs et le non-respect des piétons.
➡️ Poursuivre nos aménagements pour protéger les enfants, les aînés et les personnes en situation de handicap, en élargissant encore davantage les trottoirs, en transformant les places de stationnement et les contre-allées.
➡️ Assurer la sécurité de toutes et de tous en renforçant l’accessibilité dans nos rues, notamment en multipliant les feux sonores et des chemins de guidage pour déficients visuels.
➡️ Accompagner les enfants avec des ateliers pour leur apprendre à faire du vélo en toute sécurité et la création d’un « passeport vélo ».
➡️ Lutter contre les comportements dangereux et les pollutions sonores en exigeant que les camions s’équipent de détecteurs de présence angle mort. Pour s’assurer du respect de ces règles, nous renforcerons évidemment les contrôles effectués par la police municipale.

It’s still a BIG problem that because of car manufacturing influence, most media & political energy goes to EVs, with not NEARLY enough going to fewer cars/less driving. But the priority HAS to be the latter, the part of the solution that will actually do much more public good.

One of the most simple and powerful city-building projects your city could do would be to transform its street intersections to prioritize people and life over cars and speed. We know how. It just takes will. Graphic via the always clever @LiorSteinberg.
Myke trafikanter må fåtrygge soner.
Røde maling i veibanen er IKKE "sykkelinfrastruktur", det er farlig.
Å tillate kjøretøy på fortau og gangveier er også farlig.
Myke trafikanter må beskyttes med lovgivning og fysiske barrierer.
@Syklistenes @eivindtraedal @sirinstav
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

Fossil fuel producers must be forced to ‘take back’ carbon, say scientists.

Det er mulig at problemet er politiets holdning til gående og syklende, @Sykkelmafiaen @delveien I New York brukte politiet i 070 av 77 stasjoner fortauene som parkeringsområde. I latterlig omfang. I Norge er syklendes og gåendes sikkerhet en bagatell mot bilens «rett til veien»

A bad week for @Equinor_UK just got worse: yesterday, Labour confirmed its opposition to Rosebank; and now a group of investors have asked Norway's govt (Equinor's majority shareholder) hard questions about how Equinor's oil & gas plans can be justified.
