Done.

2035? I'm not so sure it'll take that long.
Northern Sweden, 1st of April, almost midnight, 10°C. It's supposed to be minus. Minus 5, maybe ... The spring temperatures are a month too early. (Spring? Night temps of 10°C are summer temperatures - I am being optimistic here)

Starry starry nights? 😊

Nearby? On one's lap, you mean. My dog comes running when she hears that I'm going to sit down on the couch with a book. Her favourite spot!

Talgoxe I-IV, oil on canvas, First serie of paintings of my project FUN & Co (Forms Upp North & Colours) is finished. (apart from the outer frames, which are still in my thinking zone). This is how I perceive this new vast and beautiful landscape with all it's layers and components.

You're welcome.

I didn't know you were a linguist.

How do my American friends feel about living in a monarchy? 😶🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm so sorry. 😔

Politikerna vill gödsla skogen – trots varning från ledande forskare En bred majoritet av riksdagspartierna vill gödsla skogen för att nå EU:s klimatmål – trots att ledande forskare varnar för negativa konsekvenser. – Vi blir av med blåbärsris, vi blir av med svamp. Vi...

Seriously? Fertilisers in the Swedish forests ?!? "Our task as politicians is to take responsibility for the whole." That is not considering the whole, that is only counting short-term CO2 capture, and forgetting long term, biodiversity, eutrophication, ...

Likely.

Oh my god, how will you survive? Thoughts and prayers! 😊

Maximising the surface for infrared absorption.

The complicated new high tech usually isn't threatening to the existing order, incumbent powers and plutocracy we're currently living in.
It's easier to accept a new idea, then to realise that the current situation and way of behaving is wrong. New tech gives the illusion we don't need to change.

Finally winter!

This is really interesting.
The myth that plant-based food uses too much water ...
(The same goes for the myth that tofu is responsible for deforestation)

We don't need more tech, we need a sense of urgency, and global cooperation. More tech (especially AI) demands more and more energy, at a moment we need to reduce energy usage. We need to get rid of the reign of fossil fuels and industrial meat production. We need a mentality (regime?) change.

5°C this morning, Umeå, Northern Sweden. Most of last week's snow is gone. (We had about half a meter)
My daughter is wondering if she will be able to ice skate this winter.
Feels like a regular Belgian winter 🤦🏼‍♀️🌧️🌧️

Yes exactly

Spot on, except for the part that the following generations do know what's going on? I think that's too optimistic.

The problem is that he has a different definition of the borders of Russia.

People don't understand probability or statistics. Nor large numbers and their impact.
I think it's in human nature. Like not understanding that for example nuclear energy is one of the safest forms of energy,counted in deaths per Mw - and not even including future climate change deaths.

We're feeding the birds in our garden. A group (gang?) of magpie youngsters have taken over.

And now by day ...

Can you give an example of what you mean?

First thing to do in the morning 😂
About 30cm extra overnight.

I didn't check the front door yet.

Seaweed is quite good for humans too. Let's cut out the middle man. (Same for soy, corn, wheat, ...)

Or, they do and want to put it on fire.
