In #Germany debate escalates about whether the #nuclear phase-out was justified granted its consequences for German economy that are becoming evident now. In the new turn, it is being suggested that the minister of economy Habeck was lied to by his own experts who claimed the phase-out is going to be harmless.^1
At this stage I can only reiterate that since 2011 when the plans were announced hundreds of worldwide climate experts appealed to Germany not to phase-out nuclear, which is one of the few low-carbon and dispatchable sources of energy. Climate scientist James Hansen had been calling German phase-out a “climate crime” and in 2019 hundreds of scientists wrote an open letter to German government asking to reconsider.^2
As I wrote a few years ago, the whole phase-out plan was plagued by cognitive biases, falsified data and excessive optimism about “prospective technologies of future”. The biggest blame however goes to “environmental activists” such as #WWF and #Greenpeace who were absolutely knowingly and cynically lying about both evils of nuclear and benefits of #renewables, convincing many people and pushing the government towards the current failure.^3

Es freut mich ausserordentlich, dass auch die Wespen an unseren Trauben ihre helle Freude haben. Sehr gerne teilen wir unsere Früchte mit diesen nützlichen Insekten.

Umweltschutzorganisation WWF in Russland für "unerwünscht" erklärt
Konten gesperrt, Büros geschlossen - die Aktivitäten der Umweltschutzgruppe WWF in Russland sind quasi verboten worden. Die Aktivisten bedrohten "die Sicherheit im wirtschaftlichen Bereich", erklärte die Generalstaatsanwaltschaft. Von S. Laack.
Shortcomings in law enforcement and protection mean most wildlife crimes in Europe go unpunished or undetected, putting endangered European species at further risk.
These are the findings of a new WWF report which provides the most comprehensive picture to date on the state of wildlife crime in Europe.
Most common crimes were the illegal killing of wildlife, using poisoned baits, prohibited hunting methods, and illegal wildlife trade.
La Procura generale della Russia ha riconosciuto il Wwf come "organizzazione indesiderata", mettendo al bando le sue attività nel Paese. Lo riferisce l'agenzia Tass.

If the allegations are proven this will be deeply damaging to both organisations. While it is well known that the Wye has been turned into a lurry filled wasteland by chicken farmers, this stinks.
The true cost of dealing with plastic waste is 10 times higher for low-income countries than richer nations, despite them consuming the material far less, according to a new study....
Wie halten es die österreichischen Parteien mit dem Naturschutz? Aus Kohle, Öl und Gas aussteigen? Den Green Deal unterstützen? In die Natur investieren?
Licht aus für das Klima, eine Stunde lang - das ist die #earthhour zu der der @wwf_deutschland aufruft. Symbolisch geht das Licht weltweit bei ganz vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten aus, um Aufmerksamkeit zu schaffen und Energie zu sparen. Ein dunkles Zeichen für den Klimaschutz, auch in #Wuppertal. Das haben wir uns auf einer Radtour vom Barmer Rathaus, zum Stadtwerke Gebäude, vorbei an der Unterbarmer Hauptkirche bis zum Elberfelder Rathaus angesehen.

#Environmental campaigners have filed a #lawsuit at an #Oslo court challenging #Norway's plan for #seabed mineral exploration, citing insufficient impact assessment of the #mining, the World Wide Fund for #Nature#WWF and its lawyer said on Friday.
Norway's parliament in January approved a proposal to open a vast ocean area larger than Britain for seabed mineral exploration after a government-commissioned study concluded that its impact would be minimal.
