We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...
There's a really nice explanation (with clear graphics) in this @quantamagazine.bsky.social article of why most molecules in the atmosphere (oxygen & nitrogen) don't act as greenhouse gases, but a lot of the far less numerous ones (like carbon dioxide and methane) do. A great teaching aid :)

"Wir möchten höflich darauf hinweisen, dass die taz – im Gegensatz zu Nius – ein journalistisches Medium ist, das nach presseethischen Grundsätzen arbeitet."

Recycling does not match the scale of the plastic that's being produced.
It’s time to turn off the tap.
Greenpeace is calling for at least a 75% reduction in plastic production by 2040.
#PlasticsTreaty
The 8 billion tons of plastic waste on Earth pose a grave and growing danger to human health, according to a new report.
Ahead of international negotiations on a plastics treaty, authors warn that countries urgently need to cut production.
Wirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche erscheint schon nach kurzer Amtszeit als Fehlbesetzung. Sie bringt selbst die eigenen Reihen gegen sich auf.
