It would be far better if they left. Or could not keep being billionaires. But it's ok to tax them anyway. It has many other benefits, such as generating income for a society to distribute among the 99.99% of non-billionaires, providing them with things like free schools and heakthcare
Okay this is the only situation where I'd gleefully leave academia for industry (if only I had Japanese language skills)

I don't want to do a whole long rant on this, so I'll just say: the reason fossil fuels & other aligned incumbents don't want to transition to clean energy is that it will *damage their material interests*. And folks, they understand their own material interests. Really well!
Those who refused to participate in the illegal cover up probably are, yeah, along with the brave journalists that reported on it.
Yeah, it's better not to. But it's the first thing that came to mind, to me, considering how the US regime behaves in general
I don't think anyone is that dumb. Perhaps there's a possibility Witkoff knows who he's actually working for and chose to repeat theies of his boss (Putin)?
Now you have Putin himself instead. At least something
Who needs satire anymore 🤣
Could it be a US false flag op, reichtagsfeur style?
..Det är svårt att förstå hur nån kan finna det så motbjudande med den solidaritet, hänsyn till andra människor och något svagare egoism som visade sig under COVID i andra länder. Men är man fascist,som Johan, så är man

Kämpa, Johan! Om du tjatar mer på omvärlden och fortsätter ljuga om vetenskap du inte ens försöker förstå, kanske du kan övertyga dem att de som drabbas av kroniska problem eller dör av patogener är nödvändiga offer, som gnuer som stöts ur flocken eller gamlingar som erbjuds ättestupan, din fascist.

That's what I always say. Or possibly "Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah nagl fhtagn", or just "thank you - whatever would I do without your insightful advise to cheer me up"
Something I think about a lot: virtually all concrete, practical wisdom about energy grids was developed at a time when there was no energy storage at any kind of scale. The introduction of storage *fundamentally changes* the basic dynamics of the grid in a way that renders much of that CW moot.
Saknar ord inför det svek svenska medier gör sig skyldiga till genom att inte sätta klimatkrisen i centrum för sin rapportering.
The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellations— it’s how the agency is governed.
For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

It's not very quick on the ball, though, is it, the global market? Anyone even slightly analytically inclined and able of critical thinking realised this in 2017 and has just been waiting for the inevitable descent into global collapse, fascism and chaos since. I know I have. Never nice to be right.
The question was rhetoric, but yes, and thanks
Is media ever going to realise that this kind of conscient mistakes are highly antisemitic, effectively smearing support for genocide and the least supported US war of agression ever (or since Vietnam - I haven't checked with real stats targeting the whole adult population).
Men, istället antar jag att sagda budget kommer att ösa på mer och mer subventioner för fossila bränslen, och att förnybar energi kommer straffas mer och mer agressivt. S kommer naturligtvis att haka på, för att som vanligt göra precis samma sak som Tidö och SD, pga rädsla att tappa väljare
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
With respect, but the US already is. Even with a regime change and restoration of basic democracy, I think it will take a long time to restore the damage done to the scientific ecosystem and even longer to again attract the foreign talent that helped make American research world leading.
The U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office.
A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies. Read more: https://scim.ag/4boPkq8
The Iranian Red Crescent has sent a request to the International Criminal Court calling for a criminal investigation based on the US/Israel's systematic attacks against civilians and civilian objects including:
6,668 civilian structures
5,535 homes
14 hospitals
65 schools
Taking the opportunity to again share some facts about my foremost scientific role model, an absolute ground breaker. Even now, 14 y after her death, feels ahead of her time, our understanding of evolution and ecology still trying to catch up with her.

Bonjourrrrr
Hopefully nobody. But European politicians are still far too cordial and naive. Just as they once were with Hitler
At least a silver lining of all these horrendous war crimes and genocide
"The great majority of people on Earth support climate action. The obstacles are not technological. They’re political. The fossil-fuel industry and the rich and powerful and governmental figures who either are or serve the fossil-fuel industry are what’s holding us back."
