Regjeringen dropper endringer i hytteskatten Regjeringen vil ikke følge opp arbeidet med en ny modell for verdsettelse av fritidsboliger. Dermed er det fryktede skattesjokket for hytteeiere avlyst. – Arbeiderparti-regjeringen kommer ikke til å f...

En utrolig dårlig og feig avgjørelse. Dagens skatteverdi har ingen sammenheng med reell verdi, og gir store lettelser til de som sitter på verdifulle, gamle hytter i populære områder. www.nrk.no/nyheter/regj...

Monsoon and renewables cool India’s emissions Indias carbon emissions dipped slightly in 2025, marking the first decline during normal economic conditions, driven by a strong monsoon, lower power demand, and rapid renewable expansion.

"For the first time in nearly three decades, emissions in advanced economies grew faster than in emerging ones: rising by 0.5% in the former, while slowing to 0.3% growth in the latter."

Imagine that? The "advanced" countries will lead us to climate catastrophe.

Forsker: – Fortellingen vår om at "Europa trenger norsk olje langt inn i framtiden", stemmer ikke. - Forskningsnytt Troen på et evig behov for oljeinntekter, svekker klimapolitikken i Norge.

Les denne framifrå saken der @elinlb.bsky.social forklarer hvorfor Norge mislykkes så spektakulært i klimapolitikken. Det er noen spredte røster som kanskje vil mer, men som land er vi fremdeles en petrostat. Dessverre. For det koster oss dyrt, og trenger ikke være sånn. www.uio.no/forskning/fo...

Noterer at IEA, som norske myndigheter ofte viser til, IKKE anbefaler dieselsubsidier i dagens situasjon, men isteden foreslår en rekke kloke grep for å redusere forbruket, som mer kollektivtransport, mer samkjøring, mer hjemmekontor og lavere fartsgrenser. Til inspirasjon!

Selfie with pink unicorn travel hairbrush, with text ‘I believe in magic’

A bit of travel hiccup yesterday - on an awkward routing from Kristiansand to Gothenburg, my last #SAS flight cancelled, baggage gone, and I found myself spending the night at … Arlanda. However, my new travel hairbrush is a *clear* upgrade from the boring old black one! #ProfLife #GlassHalfFull🧪🌐

virkemidler som er godt egnet for gradvis innføring/pilotering:

1. Utvide frivillig vern til også å gjelde annen særlig viktig natur
2. Belønning for utbygging på grått areal
3. Styrke naturmål i regionale planer
4. naturhensyn i Byvekstavtalene
5. ‘grønne grenser’ etter modell av ‘markagrensa’

Dette er tiltak som i følge rapporten rulles ut umiddelbart. Så kan vi drive følgeforskning of justere detaljene etter hvert.

Og med støtte i kommunekommusjonen kan vi sslenge på

6. oppskalering av naturists og klimasats.

Trenger dere instill til #Revidert, anyone? Disse får dere helt gratis!

Jobben med å stoppe naturtapet kan og bør starte nå - Altinget Som regjerende Europamester i nedbygging av natur trenger vi nordmenn sårt å komme i gang med effektive virkemidler for å stoppe naturtapet. En ny rapport foreslår at vi bør prøve ut lovende virkemidl...

I en ny spalte i @altinget.bsky.social argumenterer jeg for at vi må komme i gang med reelle tiltak for å stoppe naturtapet *nå*, og heller utrede mer underveis. Jeg støtter meg på en ny rapport bestilt av Regjeringen som foreslår et hurtigspor for slike tiltak. www.altinget.no/artikkel/job...

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the ...

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

Laksegigant kjøper fortsatt råvarer fra Russland Norsk import av råvarer til fiskefôr fra Russland steg kraftig i fjor, til tross for Ukraina-krigen. Nå vil regjeringen gjøre handelen mer krevende.

Overraskende og skuffende at flere norske fôrprodusenter har økt sin import av fiskefôr og råvarer til fiskefôr fra Russland med over 70%.

Lite tillitvekkende at det kun er økt toll som får dem til å slutte

NSF LTER program “archived”.

LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”.

This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings.

My heart is breaking.

Moon in between the camera and the Earth, dark side visible.

Wow.

“NASA's EPIC camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth. This view shows the fully illuminated ‘dark side’ of the moon never visible from Earth.” www.planetary.org/space-images...

Projection of post-drought recovery of intact Amazonian rainforests after the 2023–2024 droughts. (A) Time series of annual median recovery projections after the 2023–2024 droughts. The error bars represent the medians of the lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence intervals across all pixels. (B) Spatial pattern of recovery at 7th year after the 2023–2024 droughts.

The Amazon rainforest was hit with two severe droughts during 2023–2024. Models suggest that just over half the forest will not recover within seven years, which is the maximum time between droughts in recent decades. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/BKQ150YySOw
