    1. Allein das Rollback der klimapolitischen Maßnahmen der Biden-Administration durch die Trump-Regierung wird bis 2030 zu 4 Gigatonnen CO2-Äqivalenten an zusätzlicher Emissionen führen (bis 2050 zu 27GtCO2e). Die Analyse verschiedener Modellierungen der von Trump geplanten Maßnahmen durch Carbon Brief ergab im März, dass die USA damit weltweit fast eine Billiarde USD zusätzlicher „social costs of carbon“ verursachen würden. Die geplante weitere fossile Expansion unter dem Motto „drill, Baby, drill!“ ist dabei nicht einberechnet https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-trump-election-win-could-add-4bn-tonnes-to-us-emissions-by-2030

      I'm reading the entirety of the #project2025 book: https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf

      The intro lays things out very clearly -- full-blown attacks on trans and queer folks of any stripe; utter dismissal of climate change; disdain for any form of expertise and education (wonderfully incoherent, given the sparkling pedigrees of the document's many authors); economic thinking that's equally incoherent, if not at times magically-realistic; christian nationalism; and incessant, self-pitying grievance politics

Die Vorsitzenden der Energie-Ausschüsse des amerikanischen Senats und des Repräsentantenhauses , beide Republikaner:innen, haben die International Energy Agency und ihren Vorsitzenden Fatih Birol scharf angegriffen, weil er sich gegen den weiteren Ausbau fossiler Infrastruktur wendet. Hintergrund ist offenbar die Entscheidung der Biden-Administration, wenigstens vorerst keine weiteren Genehmigungen für LNG-Export-Terminals zu erteilen.

    1. Employers are investing in their own capacity andlooking for innovative partnerships to skill-up theirworkforce and diversify their talent pipelines.Companies like Microsoft and Google are trying tospeed up the pipeline by offering tens of thousands ofscholarships for their ready-made certificates inhard-to-fill roles. The World Economic Forum estimatesthat 50% of all employees will need to reskill by 2025

      There's urgency driving employer/industry efforts in this space. It's not simply trying to replace higher ed or signal lack of trust in higher ed or to go into competition with higher ed. While these things may all be in play, the reality is that the current make up of post-secondary education in the United States lacks the capacity to meet the coming needs.

    1. The main reason why Slovakia should be involved in the Smart City process is that the market for Smart City services is constantly growing. This year, it is made up of $ 93.5 billion, with global growth expected to reach $ 225.5 billion by 2025. Small and medium-sized businesses will thus create a great deal of opportunity to develop their business. The ministry wants to respond to the global trends and to support the introduction of innovative solutions in Slovak cities, which can help not only their progressive development but also the support of small and medium-sized enterprises. Through the specifi c support mechanisms prepared by the Ministry, it will stimulate an emerging segment of the market for solutions in this area, with the added value of the projects to include a specific economic, social and technical aspect.
