The UK MPs were asked in early 2025 to estimate the level of public support for green policies and their answers were compared with an Ipsos poll of the public that asked the same questions. When asked about a tax on frequent fliers and taxes to reflect how environmentally friendly products are, the MPs thought only a minority supported them, when a majority actually did: the MPs underestimated support by about 15%.
They also underestimated public support for a tax on red meat and dairy products by 18% and for grants or loans to help people to make their homes more energy-efficient by 7%.

Järjestö: UPM keitti harvinaisesta luonnonmetsästä sellua – jäi kiinni, kun aktivistit seurasivat puukuormaa
Greenpeace ja Metsäliike käyttivät teknistä paikannusta puukuormien paikannuksessa. Yle on nähnyt paikannustiedot ja varmistanut, minne puu on mennyt.
Luonnonmetsän keittäminen selluksi on käänteistä arvonlisää järjettömässä mittakaavassa.
Valtava elonkirjon rikkaus muutetaan bulkiksi teollisuustuotteeksi.
Elinympäristöjen pirstoutumisen takia haitta on vielä suoraa vaikutusta suurempi.

Peter Falk as Columbo, looking quizzically at someone off camera.
"You say you only used AI for placeholder text, but in that text was a response from the AI saying 'here's a revised version'. Here's what I don't understand - why revise placeholder text? You see my problem? It just doesn't make sense to me. Why revise something nobody was meant to see, unless..."

Graphics like these imply progress is linear, in reality it isn’t.
After Reconstruction (1865–1877) granted Black people civil rights, a brutal backlash led to almost 80 years of Jim Crow.
We’re now in another backlash era, with Trump followed Obama, just as regression followed reform in 1877.

Minulla on tiettyä ymmärrytä kasvuyritysten talouden helpottamiselle. Yhteisöveron alentaminen menee kuitenkin ohi maalin. Yritys on kuivilla, kun se alkaa tuottaa voittoa. Niin tuetaan vain vakiintuneiden yritysten passiivisia omistajia, siis perijäsukupolvea.

It’s funny to read headlines about how the US government is deporting foreign students for protesting and sentencing Latino men with “scary tattoos” to life in prison in El Salvador without trial then see people wondering why protests are only full of white people.

An island which is clearly bullshit with the sun setting behind a layer of smoke above it. Normally the sun sets at the Horizon though there is often a cloud layer there there's definitely some Wildfire smoke mixed in as well
Here's the sun setting in the smoke of up to 5 wildfires behind an island the fossil fuel industry built to hide their oil drilling derrick.
If you're into symbolism.

Rasismi | Daniela Owusun saamat rasistiset vihaviestit järkyttävät Lucia-juhlan järjestäjää
Lucia-perinnejuhlan järjestäjää, suomenruotsalaista Folkhälsania ilahduttaa myös sen saama valtava kielirajat ylittävä tuki.
Helvetin vaikea sietää tätä paskaa, joka vaikuttaa täysin viattoman ihmisen elämään. Jotenkin myös lohduton olo kun tätä ilmapiiriä myötävaikuttavat vallankäyttäjät, jotka avoimesti toimivat ennakkoluuloisesti tai hyväksyvät sen muiden tavoitteiden sivutuotteena. www.hs.fi/helsinki/art...
