Am 5. Mai 2025 fielen die Temperaturen in Frankreich nach einer Hitzewelle rapide um bis zu 17 °C. Eine Studie in "Nature Communications" zeigt, dass solche extremen Temperaturschwankungen durch den Klimawandel häufiger und intensiver werden. Seit 1961 sind 60 % der globalen Regionen betroffen, besonders in Ostasien und Südamerika. Die Studie warnt vor gesundheitlichen Risiken und fordert dringende Emissionsreduktionen.

Ende April 2025 erreichten die Temperaturen in Asien und im Nahen Osten neue Rekorde: 49 °C im Kuwait, 48 °C in Pakistan und 47,6 °C in Saudi-Arabien. Diese Hitzewelle ist beispiellos in Intensität, Dauer und Ausdehnung, warnen Klimatologen. Die Anomalien erreichten bis zu +12 °C in Afghanistan, Indien und Pakistan. Nachts blieben die Temperaturen oft über 30 °C, was die Bevölkerung zusätzlich belastet.

Der Artikel diskutiert die Nutzung von BECCS (Bioenergie mit CO₂-Abscheidung und -Speicherung) zur Reduktion von CO₂-Emissionen. BECCS könnte negative Emissionen erzielen, indem CO₂ aus der Verbrennung von Biomasse abgeschieden und gespeichert wird. Dies könnte neue Geschäftsmodelle ermöglichen und Kostenvorteile bei der Energieerzeugung bringen.
Kritiker, die sich auf mehrere hier verlinkte Studien zur Holzwirtschaft und zur ökologischen Situation in Deutschland berufen, warnen jedoch, dass BECCS nicht als Ersatz für Emissionsreduktionen dienen sollte. Ohne klare politische Leitplanken könnten schädliche Nebeneffekte wie Waldzerstörung und ineffiziente Energienutzung auftreten. Die energetische Effizienz von Anlagen sinkt durch die CO₂-Abscheidung, was zu höherem Brennstoffverbrauch führt. Zudem könnte der Anreiz zur Emissionsvermeidung sinken, wenn Unternehmen auf CO₂-Zertifikate setzen. Eine starke Nachfrage nach Holzbiomasse könnte Waldökosysteme weiter belasten und die Entwicklung einer nachhaltigen Bioökonomie behindern.

Drei führende Klimawissenschaftler kritisieren die Illusion der "Net Zero-Politiken", die darauf setzen, das 1,5°-Ziel durch die Entfernung von CO2 aus der Atmosphäre zu erreichen. Sie werfen vielen ihrer KollegInnen vor, unrealistischen Konzepten nicht offen entgegenzutreten, um ihren politischen Einfluss nicht zu verlieren. Sie kritisieren auch die bisherigen Integrated Assessment Models des Weltklimarats, die von der Voraussetzung ausgehen würde, die Klimakatastrophe ließe sich mit marktwirtschaftlichen Mitteln beheben und fordern auf, deutlich zu sagen, dass sich eine Erhitzung der Erde auf 3 und mehr Grad nicht durch kleine Schritte, sondern nur durch einen Bruch mit dem bisherigen Wirtschaftssystem erreichen lässt.
Anstatt uns unseren Zweifeln zu stellen, beschlossen wir Wissenschaftler, immer aufwändigere Fantasiewelten zu konstruieren, in denen wir sicher wären. Der Preis, den wir für unsere Feigheit zahlen mussten: Wir mussten den Mund halten über die immer größer werdende Absurdität der geforderten Kohlendioxid-Entfernung im planetarischen Maßstab.
Greta Thunberg hat diesen Aufsatz als einen wichtigsten und informativsten Texte zur Klima- und ökologischen Krise bezeichnet.

Eine Studie zeigt, dass das Kraftwerk Drax in North Yorkshire trotz Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) bis in die 2050er Jahre die CO₂-Emissionen erhöhen wird. Die intensive Waldnutzung zur Gewinnung von Holzpellets in den USA reduziert die Kohlenstoffspeicher in Wäldern für mindestens 25 Jahre. Selbst mit CCS-Technologie bleiben die Emissionen über Jahrzehnte hoch, was die Klimakrise verschärft. Kritiker bezweifeln Drax' Behauptung, "klimaneutral" zu sein, und fordern eine Neubewertung der staatlichen Unterstützung für Biomasse-Energie.

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who previously said she "was shocked" by Gaetz's nomination, said by withdrawing, "he put country first," and noted, "certainly there were a lot of red flags."
Collins was frequently quoted by other sources as the main Republican voice in this space.
Asked about who might replace Gaetz as Trump's pick for the attorney general, Sen. Chuck Grassley, the incoming chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he did not "have the slightest idea who they might be."
This article claims that even people on the Hill have no clue who could be the next nominee, yet other articles speculated more than 10 names.
Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said he would not second-guess Trump's decision to tap Gaetz, but that the president needed an attorney general that both he and the senate "can have confidence in."
Rounds was also quoted by other news outlets frequently.
"There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General," he continued.
This quote appears again, as it has in every other article.
pulled publicly by the president-elect.
First article to suggest that Trump would have pulled his name himself if he did not resign. Other sources seemed to think that Gaetz would just not get confirmed.
Those on the short list included former White House attorney Mark Paoletta, who served during Trump’s first term as counsel to then-Vice President Mike Pence and to the Office of Management and Budget; Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who was tapped in 2022 to be the state’s top prosecutor after then-state Attorney General Eric Schmitt was elected to the U.S. Senate.
This is more speculation based on some evidence. Interestingly, it is much different than the list of possible nominees from the BBC article.
The individuals nominated and confirmed to executive branch positions hold some of the most powerful positions in government and make decisions that affect the daily lives of the entire American public as they implement and enforce the laws Congress passes.
This article continues to stress the power that Gaetz would have had if he was confirmed. This is a narrative of escaping or dodging possible terrible consequences.
After public outcry from elected officials and voters, both liberal and conservative, former Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration to be nominated attorney general of the United States.
This paints a different narrative from other news sources. It claims that Gaetz withdrew due to public outcry rather than his own decision.
Will Matt Gaetz return to Congress?
Like the CNN article this one has a section of opinion masked as prediction.
reportedly prompting a significant closed-door effort by him and Trump to secure the necessary support.
This closed-door effort to get votes is a secondary story that has been touched on by multiple outlets. This story says it was him and Trump while CNN said it was him and Vance.
"needlessly protracted Washington scuffle."
Quote that has shown up often. Trying to diffuse seriousness of report.
after days of debate over whether to release a congressional report on sexual misconduct allegations against him.
This suggests binary of whether to release or not to release. If it was released he would look guilty and not get votes but if it was not then he would keep skeletons hidden. Obviously there is much more than this and we do not know the contents of the report.

Treasury yields have gone up as the dollar's value has actually weakened as normally you'd expect as Treasury yields go up, that the dollar would strengthen because there would be more demand for American assets.
for - why - increase in treasury yields normally strengthens US Dollar - Gemini AI gives a good explanation - Yes, it's generally expected that when U.S. Treasury yields increase, the value of the US dollar will strengthen. - This is because higher yields attract more foreign investment, increasing demand for the dollar to purchase those assets. - Higher yields ( higher interest rate) mean more attractive returns: - When Treasury yields rise, the returns on U.S. government bonds become more appealing to investors, both domestic and foreign. - Increased demand for US dollars: - As investors from other countries seek to buy these higher-yielding U.S. assets, they need to first convert their local currencies into US dollars to make the purchase. - This increased demand for dollars strengthens its value. - Safe-haven status: - During times of economic uncertainty, investors often flock to safe-haven assets like U.S. Treasuries. This further boosts the demand for the US dollar, as it is the currency used to hold these assets. - Currency Valuation - A strong currency indicates a healthy economy and can attract more foreign investment. This creates a positive feedback loop, as a stronger dollar can further boost investor confidence and lead to even higher demand for US assets.

The 2024 Global Carbon Budget projects fossil carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of 37.4 billion tonnes, up 0.8% from 2023. Despite the urgent need to cut emissions to slow climate change, the researchers say there is still “no sign” that the world has reached a peak in fossil CO2 emissions. With projected emissions from land-use change (such as deforestation) of 4.2 billion tonnes, total CO2 emissions are projected to be 41.6 billion tonnes in 2024, up from 40.6 billion tonnes last year.

can pretend the world is a fairer place than it actually is and that racism is merely a vestige of a painful past instead of this indelible part of our present.”
Tied conveniently as it was to what one looked like, member-ship in either the upper or the lowest caste was deemed immuta-ble, primordial, fixed from birth to death, and thus regarded asinescapable. “He may neither earn nor wed his way out,” wrotethe scholars Allison Davis and Burleigh and Mary Gardner in DeepSouth, their seminal 1941 study of caste in America.

Jin's operation was based in China, and he used encrypted communications and cryptocurrencies to conduct his business. The investigation involved a team of agents from various federal agencies, including the DEA, FBI, and IRS, who worked together to gather evidence and track down Jin's associates in the US. One of these associates, Bin Wang, was arrested in 2017 and later sentenced to six years in prison. The team discovered that Jin was using a company in Tonga to ship his packages, and that he was offering a wide range of synthetic opioids, including carfentanil and U-48800. As the investigation continued, the team found that Jin's operation was linked to numerous death cases across the US, and that he was using his websites to sell drugs to customers in the US. The team eventually identified Jin as Fujing Zheng, a 35-year-old man from Shanghai, and his father, Guanghua Zheng, who was 62. The Zhengs were found to be operating a sophisticated online drug trafficking operation, using encrypted communications and cryptocurrencies to conduct their business. Despite the evidence gathered, the Chinese government refused to extradite the Zhengs to the US, citing a lack of evidence. The US government eventually indicted the Zhengs and shut down their websites, but they remain at large in China. The investigation highlighted the challenges of combating online drug trafficking, particularly when it involves foreign nationals and jurisdictions.

archetype of the hypermasculine wheelchair-bound veteran dissenter.
The figure of the grieving mother is a collectivity, with women characterized as part of a population of mothers with a collective experience of loss. Their dissent is practiced through invocations of a dead or imperiled soldier child, who signifies the claim to associative military masculinity. In contrast, the perspective of the returning veteran is grounded in individual experience. The film depicts women as caregivers, with their dissenting subjecthood derived from their relationships with men.
this narrative of personal growth and triumph is complicated by the fact that Tomas's newfound power and authority are rooted in traditional masculine ideals. The film ultimately suggests that the military peace movement is shaped by masculinized privilege, which can be both productive and limiting.
White Ribbon Campaign, which originated in Canada and has a branch in England, is a group of men committed to discussing and ending male violence against women. However, there is a lack of groups of men in the anti-militarist and peace movements who analyze and resist the deformation of manhood by militarization. For war to end, men need to become self-aware and refuse the violence expected of them, and the association of masculinity with militarism. Some men, such as those in the Turkish conscientious objectors movement and South Korean anti-militarist men, are starting to listen to feminist ideas and take on board their perspectives.
hat governments cannot militarize without making women complicit, that wars rely on specific forms of masculinity, and that grappling with the militarization of women and men must be done together.
The party used stereotypes of Muslim men as rapists and Hindu goddesses to mobilize women's support, while also enforcing control over female sexuality and personhood.
No Pride in War (NPIW) challenged the involvement of BAE Systems and the Red Arrows in Pride marches, accusing them of "pinkwashing" and glossing over militarized violence by focusing on LGBT inclusion.
Sisters, formed an all-women and non-binary anti-militarist group to highlight the gendered politics of the arms trade and build solidarity with Syrian women affected by conflict.
opposing militarism requires resisting patriarchy, heterosexism, and racialized configurations of queer inclusion/exclusion.

Überblicksartikel von 2019 zu den Angriffen auf die Wissenschaft während der ersten Trump-Regierung und ihre kurz- und langfristigen Folgen. Forschungen zur Klimakrise und öffentlichen Gesundheit wurden behindert, weil sie den Interessen der fossilen Industrien schaden. Der Kampf gegen Foschung, die Interessen bestimmter Unternehmen und Branchen bedroht, ging aber weit über die Klimathematik hinaus und dient u.a. auch der Chemie- und Agroindustrien. Zu den Maßnahmen gehörten: - Beendigung von Forschungsprojekten - Abbau des Einflusses von Wissenschaftler:innen auf regulatorische Entscheidungen - Verhinderung von öffentlichen Stellungnahmen von Wissenschaftler:innen - Behinderung von Forschungen zum menschengemachten Klimawandel - Vorschreiben erwünschter Forschungsergebnisse - Overruling von Experten durch politische Funktionäre bei Begutachtungen und Regulierungen - Einstellungsstopps und Entlassungen - Entfernung bestimmter Wissenschaftler:innen aus Beratungsgremien - Verbot der Berücksichtigung bestimmter Wissenschaftstypen bei Regulierungen - Druck auf Forschende, unwissenschaftliche Aussagen des Präsidenten zu unterstützen - Schließung von Forschungszentren und -büros und Auflösung von Ausschüssen - Umsiedlungen von Behörden und Forschungseinrichtungen in unattraktive Gegenden

ohnson & Johnson eventually succeeded in getting the DEA to exempt thebaine, a key ingredient in OxyContin, from the 80-20 rule. This change allowed for a significant increase in the importation of CPS-thebaine from Australia, which contributed to the expansion of the opioid supply and the subsequent crisis.
thebaine and morphine needed to make oxycontin
The expansion of the opioid supply was facilitated by the privatization of poppy fields. The US relies on imports of narcotic raw material, mainly from Turkey and India, to produce legal opioids. Johnson & Johnson, one of the certified importers, sought to change the regulations to allow for more imports from Australia, which would give them a competitive advantage. In the 1990s, Johnson & Johnson lobbied to undermine the "80-20" rule, which stipulated that at least 80% of the narcotic raw material imported into the US had to come from Turkey and India.

Private militias have provided criminal groups with greater mobility and fighting power, enabling them to engage in large-scale violence and seek control of criminal markets and territories beyond their home towns. The Mexican case highlights the need for democratic elites to reform authoritarian judicial and security institutions and to punish state agents who protected organized crime, in order to prevent the intertwining of democratic politics and the criminal underworld.
efectors from the state judicial police
The spread of subnational party alternation in states with drug trafficking routes and the proliferation of private militias led to the outbreak of intercartel wars. The development of private militias allowed cartels to contest their rivals' control over drug trafficking territories, leading to largescale criminal violence.
the state judicial police in Mexico became the main repressive force against political dissidents, and also gained the upper hand in providing informal protection to drug cartels.
In Mexico, the transition from authoritarian rule to democracy did not introduce major security-sector reforms, making the expansion of OCGs and the outbreak of large-scale criminal violence more probable. Subnational political alternation, particularly the variation in party alternation across subnational regions, can also contribute to the outbreak of criminal wars. The structure of informal networks of government protection for criminals forged during the authoritarian period is crucial in understanding this link.
political alternation and the rotation of parties in state gubernatorial power undermined the informal networks of protection that had facilitated the cartels' operations under one-party rule. Without protection, cartels created their own private militias to defend themselves from rival groups and incoming opposition authorities.
The Peña Nieto administration in Mexico proposed a government commission to spend $9 billion to combat drug violence in the most violent municipalities. The plan included longer school days, drug-addiction treatment programs, and public-works projects. The administration also focused on disrupting street gangs and criminals hired by cartels, rather than targeting top drug traffickers. However, despite initial gains, violence in rural Mexico surged again by 2017 due to Mexican cartels' increased involvement in the heroin market and the boom in methamphetamine production.
orrupt agents have been found to be in the pay of cartels, waving tons of drugs and unauthorized immigrants across the border in return for millions of dollars. By 2018, it was estimated that corrupt agents made up around 1 to 5 percent of the CBP's 60,000-strong workforce.
The US government provided funding and training to the Mexican government to fight the cartels, but the efforts were criticized for being ineffective and corrupt. The Mérida Initiative, a $2.3 billion plan, was launched to help Mexico confront threats to its national security, but much of the money went to private US contractor corporations. Corruption was a significant problem, with cartel gunmen killing over 2,200 policemen, 200 soldiers, and scores of federal officials. The cartels also infiltrated the government, with many officials being bribed or working directly for the cartels. The drug trade was linked to Mexico's incomplete transition to democracy, and the cartels took over essential local and regional administrative functions in many regions.
naloa Cartel, in particular, was successful in cooperating with the authorities, using informants to snitch on their enemies and leaking information to the US and Mexican agents.
The Mexican and US authorities employed a "divide and conquer" strategy in their drug war efforts, which involved exploiting existing divisions between trafficking groups and creating new ones. This tactic led to catastrophic consequences, including the deaths of many people who got in the way or were killed as suspected informants.
"narco-democracy" was characterized by a gradual and uneven takeover of the state by drug traffickers, with the taxed becoming the tax collectors.
In return, they received protection, with local cops blocking roads to allow cocaine-packed planes to land, federal cops lifting roadblocks to allow smugglers' trucks to pass through, and generals giving traffickers warnings about imminent raids.
Traffickers also paid off members of leading political families, including President Salinas's brother Raúl.
This "state capture" involved massive bribes, with estimates suggesting that traffickers spent nearly $500 million on corrupting state authorities per year.
nearly 80 years, the Mexican authorities had protected drug traffickers from prosecution, but this arrangement began to break down in the 1990s. The increased profits from drug trafficking and the decline of state power put the narcos in control, and they took over running the country's drug protection rackets.
elationship between drug traffickers and the Mexican authorities changed, with the power dynamics shifting in favor of the narcos.

The US government classifies any male eligible for combat as a potential enemy combatant, producing an embodied target of drone warfare.
This gaze is also productive of turning people into objects, classifying, categorizing, and making them knowable as potential targets.
The development of drone warfare is linked to a masculine framework of thinking, where the fleshy body is seen as getting in the way of war. Drones are presented as more reliable, intelligent, and vigilant than humans, and are seen as surpassing all human limitations. This masculine framework is evident in the way drones are represented as "just warriors," more humane in their precision and rational calculations. The relationship between masculinity and vision is also explored, where vision is seen as a way to signify a leap out of the marked body and into the conquering gaze from nowhere.
The experience of killing with drones can be both hypermasculine and emasculating, as operators are both invulnerable to physical harm and removed from the traditional masculine ideals of combat.
The technostrategic discourses of drone warfare also distance the use of lethal technology from its deadly consequences, using rational language, euphemism, and abstraction. The altered spatiotemporal experience of drone warfare makes killing easier, but it also raises questions about the masculinity of drone operators. They are often depicted as being in the domestic sphere, juxtaposing their combat experience with running errands for their spouses or coaching a kids' soccer team.
On the path we were on, the sludge had been thickening even under Democratic administrations. There were fundamental systemic flaws that remained unaddressed. Inequalities have continued to widen. Corruption and bribery have worsened. We were on the way to losing our democracy without even knowing it.

Imagine we do that at scale everywhere. Every provisioning system, we re-localize it, we mutualize it to a certain degree again. If we do that, we can maintain a very high level of complexity in our societies. Everything we love about modernity, despite all the things that we hate about it,

the air warms adiabatically which means that it depends on the lapse rate as you as you go to lower and lower altitudes um the temperature increases so the lapse rate is actually the drop of temperature as you get further from the surface of the Earth in dry air the adiabatic lapse rate is n about 10° CS per kilometer or about a degree celsius per uh 100 MERS okay so the as the air is coming down it's warming about 1° cels for each 100 meters of desent

these winds um get compressed they increase in speed uh to often to near gale force winds or above and du to this Venturi effect where the winds get compressed into a smaller area so be for constant flow rate the velocity has to be much higher in this region than in this region just because there's less space for the air to be so it goes into these canyons and gets compressed and gets accelerated to very high speeds

// - COMMENT - Paul brings up a very good point. There is an existing low cost innovation that was pioneered and successfully deployed in Canada that could have prevented the destruction of many of the buildings that were destroyed, namely - rooftop sprinkler systems - There are many rooftop sprinker systems available now. They should actually be mandated into law to have one in high risk fire areas. - https://search.brave.com/search?q=canada+forest+fire+prevention+rooftop+sprinkler+system&source=desktop&summary=1&conversation=375a9992d731deff34143a

// - comment - Paul provides a climate analysis of the overarching climate conditions that enabled the 2025 Los Angeles fires - The Santa Ana winds are a natural occurrence in this area but the climate change induced abnormalities have brought about alternating cycles of heavy rain and drought conditions - The preceding heavy rain period resulted in enormous growth of vegetation - The last two months of extreme drought conditions dried up all this additional growth creating enormous amounts of fuel for a fire - It was interesting to learn that cold air from the arctic plays a critical role in the Santa Ana winds, but Paul did not provide an explanation - This is one example of how the earth system is so interconnected

What we do when we go into a sacred setting, is we play with Meta-… We have psycho-technologies - and I'll come back and give a [-] clear definition as we work that out, of a psycho-technology - but we have psycho-technologies that allow us to do this serious play with sacredness so that we are constantly being homed against horror.

if you go to another culture and you don't go through the participatory transformation, right? If you don’t, and you're just experiencing culture shock - domicide - the agent arena relationship isn't in place! Then none of those other meaning systems can work for you. There'll be absurd. They won't make sense. That's what he means by it being a Meta-Meaning system.
