#GoodNews zum Start in die neue Woche die zeigen, welche tollen Fortschritte wir bei der #Energiewende machen.
👉 Die Gasspeicher waren in den letzten 6 Jahren fast noch nie so voll zum Ende des Julis
👉 70% des Stroms stammte aus Erneuerbaren
👉 Der Zubau bei der Solarenergie liegt weit ueber dem Plan
No way! A European Citizens' Initiative to (1) tax millionaires to (2) finance a Green New Deal via EU Commission own funds, and (3) whose proponents are (check notes) the president of the Belgian Socialist Party, a Polish former Employment and Social Inclusion Commissioner and Thomas Piketty (@pikettylemonde), possibly the world's most prominent scholar of inequality.
It's technically well done, with indication of its legal grounding in the Treaty and of the regulations to be amended.
Working definition of "millionaires" to vary from country to country. For Belgium: someone that has, on top of their home and business, > 1.25 million EUR in assets.
I predict this one will clear the one million target, and then the Parliament will have to look into it. Good stub for another GND near-future science fiction novella by @pluralistic. Watch this space.
Salut ça doome ?
De mon côté, j'ai relevé que l'alphabétisation mondiale n'a jamais été aussi forte, que la Justice française a jugé l'abandon de l'aéroport de NDDL d'intérêt général, que des équipages sauveteurs de migrants ne seront pas condamnés, que les pays du G7 se sont accordés pour sortir du charbon, qu'on a trouvé un traitement prometteur pour le COVID long, et que les algues pourraient sauver beaucoup de monde.
Bons appétits.
Does Desalination alter the overall chemistry balance of sea water? If there is too many desalination plants around the world what will be the effect of removing all these salts from the seawater (on the basis it is more than just NaCl) what happens to the removed salts?
Whereas “other clean”, including hydro and #nuclear, produced even more than wind and solar, but Ember is in the solar and wind business so they don’t highlight it much, and don’t even mention it in the article. The problem clearly visible here is that while coal and gas are low this year, they will not be replaced by renewables in countries such as Germany which was forced to open new coal plants to compensate for closure of its nuclear. If they haven’t done that, fossil fuels have been in the dark past long ago.

Salut ça doome ? De mon côté, j'ai noté que la mortalité par cancer diminue dans de nombreux pays, que les parisiens font plus de trajets à vélo qu'en voiture, que l'argent commence à fuir les énergies fossiles et que d'ici moins de dix ans, on sera moins à abuser des ressources planétaires, parce que la démographie plafonne.
Bons appétits.

Salut ça doome ?
De mon côté, j'ai noté que l'espérance de vie mondiale a gagné six ans, qu'il y a moins de pétrole déversé en mer, que la planète touche désormais des royalties sur le streaming, que les renouvelables font bien baisser les émissions européennes de carbone, que les chercheurs ont trouvé une stratégie vaccinale à l'efficacité indifférente aux nouvelles souches, et pas mal d'autre bonnes choses.
Bons appétits.
Gute Nachrichten für alle Fußgänger und Radfahrer die zwischen Rosbach und Wöllstadt pendeln. Der Rad und Fußweg, entlang der K11, zwischen Rosbach und Wöllstadt, ist bis auf ein paar Restarbeiten fertig.
Für mich bedeutet es, dass ich mir einen 𝟭,𝟲𝗸𝗺 Zickzack-Aufab-Umweg durch das Feld sparen kann.
Als die Umgehungsstraße neu war, sind Auto und LKW-Fahrer trotzdem immer wieder rein gefahren und über den Feldweg weiter, bis sie auf die K11 konnten. Das die alte Straße vorher schon auf nur noch 2,5m Breite reduziert war, hat sie nicht gewundert. Das alte Navi wird schon recht haben! 🤡
BREAKING: in fantastic news for life everywhere, the EU Nature Restoration Law was passed this morning.
Restoring the natural systems on which we live is the only logical action to take for anyone who wants human civilisation to continue. It’s also the logical option for the economy:
“The European Commission estimates that restoring natural environments would generate around €1,860 billion, at an estimated cost of just €154 billion.”
The protesting farmers and all the centre-right (EPP) and right wing parties that voted against this can go get fucking lost. Such idiotic short-sightedness.
From the EPP: “We do not want new and more forms of bureaucracy and reporting obligations for farmers”.
Well the farmers won’t have anything to report on if there are no fucking insects left, will they now? Fucking morons.
Please don’t vote for these imbeciles in the upcoming EU elections, vote green/left.
The proposed rules will criminalize the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, including deepfakes made by AI tools, which could help deter revenge porn.
What if an algorithmic timeline can actually be used for good, rather than for targeting people with ads, or changing their political stance? Will this even work?
We don't know, which is why we are giving it a try. We have taught an algo to pick #goodnews and #positivenews from our growing selection of blogs and podcasts on @feedle.
It is far from perfect, but we want to share it with everybody we know and make your day a little brighter.
@jasonsando@preslavrachev@feedle nah, as in, like, realised that it was generally the right-wing that was creating a lot of bad news, and that good news stories tended to come from left-wing / socialist ideals, e.g., mutual aid, lifting others up, etc.
"Accessing abortion services in Finland is set to become easier from 1 September as a long-awaited law reform comes into effect.
Finland's Parliament voted in October last year to update the country's 50-year-old legislation on abortion, facilitating better access to the procedure. The reform was passed by a margin of 125-41.
A press release from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health noted the necessity of these amendments in safeguarding a pregnant woman's right to self-determination."
"Under the new law, women will no longer be required to provide reasons for terminating a pregnancy within the first 12 weeks. Their personal choice will be sufficient to obtain a referral."
@JoeP
the whole thread is about politics which many find sensitive and leaving the warning lets them pass it by
it is also about abortion and many who have uterus' are tired of seeing things, even positive things
also, the way I figure it if the OP puts a CW on then I do not take it out. I may add more to it for my reply but I leave what the original one is for the whole thread
A volunteer seaweed removal program involving citizen scientists has seen a dramatic improvement of up to 600% coral regrowth off the coast of Magnetic Island.
UBI, or universal basic income, is a form of direct cash assistance to help the most vulnerable get back on their feet. A new study in Denver suggests it works.
@Sagittarius_Galaxie na ein besseres Arbeitszeugnis als mangelnde Loyalität zu einer Nazi-Partei kann man ja kaum mitbringen als Angestellte oder Beamte. Weiterer Vorteil von Neumünster es ist nur 25 Minuten von der Förde weg. Also viel besser als Pirna.
@Sagittarius_Galaxie So eine geballte Ladung an gleichgeschalteten linksgrünen Meinungsbekundungen bar jeder Faktenkenntnis liest man doch immer wieder gern. Das hilft, den politischen Kompass nicht einrosten zu lassen.
