Spain is banning some short-haul domestic flights, and possibly private jets as well, as part of its plan to reduce carbon emissions. Would apply to most flights with a rail alternative that takes less than two and a half hours. Move mirrors France’s ban. euronews.com/green/2024/02/2…

Nio månader i rad har varit rekordvarma globalt. De senaste tolv månaderna har varit 1,56 grader över det förindustriella!👇 Vi är på fel sida om 1,5-gradersmålet. Vi är i ett klimatnödläge! Valet till Europaparlamentet i juni måste bli ett klimatval! dn.se/varlden/globala-temper…

And since you and I are also systems, it applies to us too. When will the medical profession recognise this achingly simple truth?

Here's a book to sit up and read...

Today is publication day in the UK for my book on limitarianism! There's already been a lot of debate on the topic, which is what I had hoped for. But a book like this is never the work of one person, so let me thank some others here. 🙏

Dear frustrated economics students. If you are being taught only a narrow slice of economics perspectives, go straight to this website, teach yourself, and make up your own mind. Oh, and show it to your teacher too : ) exploring-economics.org

“Evil doesn't have the last word… it is joy, caring and compassion that prevail in the end.” As this challenging year draws to an end, we remember the #wisdom and #hope of our first Chair, Desmond Tutu, speaking at the launch of The Elders in 2007.

“The problems you're facing are in part functions of the system at play. The system at play is in part a function of leadership behavior. If you're really a "leader", then you are in fact contributing to whatever problem you're currently facing. Consider how.” Charles Lambdin

Putin loyalists in Moscow celebrated when Republicans voted to block Ukraine aid last week. The host of one Kremlin-run show literally said: “Well done, Republicans!" Folks, if you’re being celebrated by Russian propagandists, it might be time to rethink what you’re doing.

Batteries are often described as resource-intensive. With a 95% proven recycling rate and a 10yr life, over 50% of battery minerals mined today will still be in use in *130 years*. Add 5% performance improvement per cycle, and they will be delivering services *forever*. Boom! 1/2
