Apart from travelling at sea, on foot or in books, I'm a biologist with interests in marine history, fish ecology and management. The ultimate industrial capitalist system is the global fishing industry

Regeringen vill utreda statens roll för ny kärnkraft – sågas av Miljöpartiet Helldén (MP): "Ren och skär planekonomi".

Först sa de att de skulle börja bygga kärnkraft efter 100 dagar. Sedan lovade de att börja bygga - ett spadtag - under mandatperioden

Nu är den nästan slut. Beskedet?

En till utredning

Vilket haveri. Det enda man lyckats med är att stoppa all annan elproduktion

"Vi tror på repression med precision", säger Socialdemokraternas rättspolitiska talesperson Teresa Carvalho i en intervju i @etc.se. Formuleringen var inte genomtänkt. Carvalho och S lär få anledning att ångra den i valrörelsen.

This is amazing.

When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels.

That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.

It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population — by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.

Exakt så här ska man göra om man vill idiotförklara människor som flytt från Iran, driva den iranska diasporan i famnen på en rojalistisk höger, samt se till att kurder inte känner sig hemma i svenska vänstersammanhang:

Yes, they’ve trivialized antisemitism by using it to mean things that they don’t like, like college campuses, enabling them to be actual antisemites while avoiding criticism.

Omkring 45 procent av den globala handeln med kvävegödsel går genom Hormuzsundet. USA och Israels folkrättsvidriga krig leder till högre matpriser.

“Ecocide” means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

The presumed upcoming El Nino will help cement and quantify global warming acceleration, showing that 2C global warming is likely to be reached in the 2030s, not at midcentury.

We offer a solution here for reducing overfishing, which in turn will reduce incentives for fradulent labelling. At the end of the day, we can't expect private actors to provide regulation as robust as gov't rules.

I'm not suggesting this is an open secret within the climate science community, but it's remarkable how little impact this sort of research is generating. Because if the rate of warming really has *doubled* then you can kiss goodbye to 2°C. www.carbonbrief.org/pace-of-glob...

For me, nothing announces the arrival of spring in the rainforest like the first flowering wood anemone.

Their unrestrained bright and cheeriness seems to herald the longer, warmer days to come.
