Aerial view of enormous crowd. Haven’t managed to source picture credit. Will post when I do
This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban
I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad

“More than half of the US in drought after near-record March temperatures”
The answer is implicit in the question: Putin has ownership over both countries.

I think we can safely remove the title of “leader of the free world” from the US Presidency now

“Even as the cost of infrastructure for active transportation is being used as a reason for inaction, evidence is accumulating that when the full economic cost is considered, driving costs society more, while cycling and other forms of active transportation save society money.”— @sflkirk.bsky.social
Talk about Russian interference in US elections! We now see the Vice President of the US openly supporting and touting votes for Victor Orban’s election in Hungary.

He can hardly complain about foreign interference in US elections after this
If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen
Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Hannah and Zack on stage together
Half a million people standing against the far right.
Half a million people who care about each other and our communities.
Half a million people ready to make hope normal again.
Philly says No Kings!!!
Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings
We need to know how much energy data centers use – and if YOU are subsidizing the costs of Big Tech companies.
Making this data public is the bare minimum.
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
Holy New York.
5/ At the root: fossil finance, colonial structures, geopolitics.
These are the hardest to change, which is exactly why decades of #climate politics have consistently avoided them and pushed intervention up the chain instead.
A staircase diagram with six levels rising from bottom-left to top-right. Each level on the left represents a stage in the causal chain of climate change, connected by a dashed arrow to a corresponding intervention on the right. From bottom to top: Root Drivers (economic system, fossil finance, colonial and historical structures, geopolitics) connects to Transformative System Change (economic restructuring, post-colonial redress, geopolitical shifts); Human Activities (consumption and production patterns) connects to Socio-technical and Behavioural Change (electrification, behaviour change, market incentives); Energy and Land Systems connects to Infrastructure Transition (renewables, grids, land-use redesign); Emissions connects to End-of-pipe Controls (CCS); Atmospheric GHG Concentrations connects to Carbon Dioxide Removal (including NETs); Earth's Energy Imbalance connects to Geoengineering (SRM). A diagonal arrow runs across the full diagram from Structural/Preventative at the bottom-left to Reactive/Compensatory at the top-right.
4/ I've drawn a diagram that maps the full causal chain, from root drivers to Earth's Energy Imbalance, and the interventions implied at each level.
The direction of travel matters enormously.
3/ Here's what troubles me: how we frame the problem shapes the solution set
Scientific indicators are never just neutral, we saw that with net zero
If EEI becomes "the problem", Solar Radiation Management, blocking sunlight to compensate for warming, enters as the logical technological response
2/ EEI is the gap between heat the Earth absorbs and heat it radiates back to space.
The WMO's 'State of the Global #Climate' report includes it as a headline indicator for the first time, reporting a record high in 2025

Den här tråden sammanfattar väldigt mycket av klimatproblematiken. Den gör mig också väldigt nedslagen om möjligheterna att lösa dem.
De mest konservativa jurister sätter sig nu till motvärn men det är sent påkommet. De här nya lagförslagen borde aldrig ha fått se dagens ljus. De är en skymf emot allt vad rättssäkerhet heter.
