🚨PARIS 🇫🇷 is being told to get ready for Saturday.
On a French TikTok Live, young people gave riot tips: "Dress all in black." "Above all, hide your faces." "Wear latex gloves." "Hood up."
This isn't a protest. It's a plan.

Een sterker beeld om het belang van #natuurherstel aan te tonen is er niet. 23 graden verschil tussen hartje Brussel en het Zoniënwoud. Meer bos zorgt voor natuurlijke airco’s en de extra biodiversiteit krijg je er gratis bij. #natuurherstelwerkt #bosuitbreiding @natuurenbos

Zoals verwacht is dit volledig in de doofpot beland.
11 miljard euro/jaar. #hln @jeroenbossaert
Een rapport dat jarenlang werd verborgen, en duidt op miljarden euros teveel betaalde uitkeringen voor langdurig zieken: komt er een parlementair onderzoek?
De volgende begrotingsronde kan hier eens induiken, in plaats van nog eens een rondje belastingen.

Hundreds of dolphins washed ashore in Somalia, after Chinese fishing vessels used powerful SONAR to chase Tunas.
Chinese fishing vessels loitering illegally inside Somalia's waters, are causing huge environmental damage!

Even wat positief nieuws:
1. Het 1e kwartaal 2026 is er 11% meer hernieuwbare energie opgewekt. Zonder die opwek hadden we 1,5 miljard euro (!) meer aan fossiel moeten uitgeven. 💶
2. Duurzaam drukt energieprijs.

De aarde warmt nu op aan een tempo van ongeveer 0.35°C per decennium. Tot voor kort was dat 0.2°C. Ervan uitgaand dat we nu aan 1.5°C opwarming zitten betekent dat dat het moment waarop we de 3°C bereiken geen 75 jaar in de toekomst ligt (dus 2100) maar wel 40 tot 50. Dan is het 3°C warmer in 2070. Ijskappen zullen sneller smelten en o.a. Zuidoost-Spanje zal sneller uitdrogen dan we dachten. Niet goed.

China absolutely decimating every corner of the world’s oceans is without question the biggest environmental catastrophe happening right now, as in an actual ecological disaster, yet the “save the planet” grifters never talk about it, while forcing us to use paper straws.
China's massive fishing fleets are a serious threat to safety and food security.
The ships are depleting the global fish supply by over fishing and using destructive methods. The ships also engage in criminal and coercive behavior forcing fishermen out of their own waters.
The result, food becomes more scarce and people become dependent on the Chinese fleet for food.

The Western media has been completely lost in the propaganda war: Anyone who does not fall in line is a Russian asset. Even Belgium is now a "Russian asset" due to its reluctance to sacrifice its economy by being held liable for the theft of 200 billion

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.
Protect people and the planet.

Een ABVV-vakbondsleider beweert dat 75 procent van de werklozen “niet kan werken”. Alle onderzoeken en de cijfers in het buitenland bewijzen het tegenovergestelde.
Hoog tijd dat de vakbond weer aan de kant van de werkende mensen gaat staan in plaats van ze werkloosheid aan te praten.

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

As coal fades, Australia's grid operator says shifting from coal to 100% renewables is not only possible but inevitable
“This is not a climate-zealot kind of approach. Our old coal-fired power stations are breaking down; they’re retiring. They’re getting replaced by the least-cost energy, which is renewable energy, backed with storage, connected in with transmission. We’ll have a bit of gas there for the winter doldrums. That is just what’s happening”

Huge protest in Brussels because the Belgian government wants to reform pensions, increasing the retirement age to 67. Lots of young people out on the streets who apparently can't do the intergenerational math.

Permissieve laksheid heeft ondertussen van de Vlaamse klassen de meest onhandelbare van de EU gemaakt. Maar o wee als je naar succesvolle voorbeelden gedrag en klasmanagement wijst in UK. Ouderwets dat dat is! En de leraren? Die trekken hun conclusies en vertrekken. #talis2024

While US households suffer from spiking electricity costs because of the AI tsunami, the government is busy making sure electricity prices rise faster, climate risks increase and citizens' health deteriorates further:
"US moves to cancel one of the world’s largest solar farms - Trump administration scraps approval for 6.2GW Nevada project"
Make it make sense

About *a third* of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions emitted during the Industrial age have occurred in roughly the last 17 years. The previous third was emitted over a period of roughly 26 years. The first third was emitted over a period of about 131 years.
