The disappearance of the Aral Sea, due to Soviet agricultural policies, has caused CO₂ emissions equivalent to three years of pollution in Spain and threatens to release even more carbon, highlighting the urgent need to restore its water reserves and modernize agricultural systems. #MarDeAral #CambioClimático #EmisionesDeCO2 (translated)

The author wrote that 2026 was the hottest year ever experienced up to that point, but it could end up being one of the coolest in people's lifetimes. He added that although some years in the future might be a little less hot, each new extreme record would be higher as long as CO₂ continued to be emitted into the atmosphere. He presented it as a reflection. (translated)

German Shepherd wrote that activists from the group "That's enough!" from Hanover participated in the demonstration "Project M1llion Berlin". They demanded a policy for the citizens on their banner. The participants were, according to the author, dissatisfied with warmongering, deindustrialization, and CO₂ taxes. https://t.co/18bibhJzLl #Demo #Politik #Aktivismus (translated)

South Korea has announced a billion-dollar investment program to advance the green transformation of its energy-intensive industries, including steel, chemicals, and computer chips, by 2035 and to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions. #Klimaschutz #Südkorea #Energiewende (translated)

Tadek Solarz wrote that TNO had calculated that large-scale installation of hybrid heat pumps in Dutch homes could theoretically save about 3.6 megatons of CO₂ equivalent per year. He compared this to the global fossil CO₂ emissions of 38.1 billion tons, which he stated amounted to about 0.0094%. Solarz wrote that those emissions are currently growing by about 1% per year, or about 380 million tons, and that global emissions increase in about three and a half days by as much as the Netherlands would save in a whole year with that operation. #duurzaamheid #klimaat #energiesparen (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that a law was being prepared in Finland that would require the installation of solar panels on existing public buildings larger than 250 m² starting in 2031. She linked the preparation to the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive for Buildings and asked whether the effects of the directive were adequately assessed in Finnish conditions. Rautanen argued that Finland could not be compared to sunny Mediterranean countries that used a lot of fossil fuels. She noted that Finland's electricity consumption emission factor was only 26 g CO₂/kWh in 2025 and pointed out that solar panels produced energy mostly in the summer when the electricity system was already low-emission and energy consumption was lower. She wrote that the solar panel production chain was heavily concentrated in China and that a lot of coal-generated electricity was still used in their manufacturing. According to Rautanen, 78,000 MW of new coal power was commissioned in China in 2025. Rautanen asked who would pay for the new investments while municipalities were balancing their budgets and welfare areas were looking for savings. She demanded a calculation of the costs and financing of the investments, as well as how much the solar panels made in China would reduce Finland's CO₂ emissions over their entire lifespan. She also questioned whether the panels would offset their carbon footprint during production and assessed that the rationality of the directive in Finland could not be determined without a calculation based on Finnish conditions. https://t.co/ba6sqYwZ2l #Aurinkoenergia #Energiatehokkuus #Suomi (translated)

Rebel Radio introduced a sugar tax, an increase in alcohol and tobacco taxes, a plastic tax, the continuation of the national CO₂ price, and support for ETS II as examples. Furthermore, the author wrote that all reforms had failed and almost all election promises had been broken. At the same time, he mocked that one could continue to wonder why that was the case and convince oneself that the plans just needed to be explained better. https://t.co/yAaKwgxDfz #Steuern #Politik #Reformen (translated)

The article discusses how a five-year price corridor for the European CO₂ price could affect Estonian electricity consumers, as well as the European Union's negotiations on the reform of the emissions trading system to ensure competitiveness and predictability of electricity prices. #heitkogused #EuroopaLiit #energiapoliitika (translated)

Symphony wrote that they traveled by train to Switzerland with 16 students to plant a flag at a melting glacier. The estimated emissions for the round trip amounted to about 770 kg of CO₂ equivalent, excluding guides and accommodation. Symphony noted that climate awareness also seemed to have its own footprint. https://t.co/ftQebaPBgt #Klimaatverandering #Duurzaamheid #CO2 (translated)

To think about: In April 1946, Nazi leader Hermann Göring explained in his cell in Nuremberg exactly how political power really works. He said that ordinary people never demand war or crisis, but you can always get them on board. The recipe is simple: tell them they are in danger, and accuse the critics of endangering the community. That eighty-year-old formula is today the exact blueprint behind the permanent state of crisis in which we are kept. We see this in the conflict between Europe and Russia over Ukraine, where fear is used to push through billions in weapons without real democratic debate. But it doesn’t stop at geopolitics. We saw the same recipe with COVID-19, and now with climate change and the energy transition. It penetrates into our immediate living environment, such as the Environmental Vision Fryslân or the planned closures of the Wadden nature. While island residents are excluded, the elite discusses coercive 'system changes' at the Springtij Forum on Terschelling. The control over the narrative has now gone frighteningly far. Unheard Netherlands (ON!) is being ousted from the public broadcasting system, and through new legislation, there is an open search for ways to ban right-wing opposition parties. This is exactly where history painfully begins to rhyme with the 1930s, when critical media and parties were gradually silenced under the guise of 'public order' or 'safety'. The lines of this coordinated policy go directly to international networks and think tanks such as NATO, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the UN with their coercive SDGs. Through programs like the Young Global Leaders, politicians worldwide are being trained to roll out exactly the same crisis narratives in their own countries. Our local democracy seems to have become an execution office for a predetermined global agenda. The great eye-opener that Göring left us is that this mechanism works in every system. Once a population is made afraid enough of an invisible enemy (whether it is a virus, an aggressor, nitrogen, or CO₂), it willingly surrenders its freedom, its diverse media, and its common sense. Fear is the ultimate weapon to steer the masses. This pattern only stops when we cease to blindly follow that automatic pilot of fear. Will you let history repeat itself, or will you say no? #politiek #geschiedenis #angst (translated)

It continues! Project M1LLION on October 10th in Berlin! I was already there in Plauen and met many wonderful people! Together for - direct democracy - stricter migration policy - the abolition of the CO₂ tax - stopping the planned healthcare reform - abolishing the broadcasting fee - deregulation and a slimmer state - personal accountability of politicians - fewer payments to war participants - peace! We citizens must finally recognize the power we hold! #Demokratie #Politik #Bürgerrechte (translated)

The real robbers are not sitting in Washington and not in Moscow. They are sitting in Berlin and Vienna. Finance ministers who exploit motorists like a Christmas goose so that their broken budget survives for a few more months. Taxes without end.

Mit Blick auf die gigantischen Verbrauchsplanungen der KI in Amerika und China sollten wir uns in Deutschland ehrlich machen und die CO₂-Weltrettung vorerst vollständig begraben. Denn was bringt das angesichts des enormen KI-Verbrauchs noch, außer dem weiteren Niedergang der deutschen Industrie? Was wir heute sparen, blasen Sie morgen über die KI zehnfach wieder raus!

Onko pääministeri @PetteriOrpo tyhmä vai epärehellinen julistaessaan, että "jakeluvelvoite on tärkeä ympäristötoimi"? Nimittäin Suomen jakeluvelvoite (19,5 % v. 2026) vähentää tieliikenteen päästöjä arviolta 1–2 Mt CO₂ vuodessa (tieliikenne n. 8,5–9 Mt). Globaalit energiaperäiset CO₂-päästöt ovat noin 38 Gt, joten vaikutus on alle 0,005 %. Lämpötilaan se on mittaamattoman pieni (alle 0,000001 °C). @kokoomus vaikuttaa valehtelijoiden klubilta. Mitä mieltä olet jakeluvelvoitteesta? #ympäristö #päästö vähennys #politiikka

Jetzt fordert Mario Voigt plötzlich die Aussetzung der CO₂-Bepreisung. Wir haben das im Thüringer Landtag schon zweimal beantragt, und zwar nicht nur die Aussetzung, sondern die schnellstmögliche Abschaffung. 💶⛽ Und wie hat die CDU-Fraktion damals abgestimmt? Dreimal dürft ihr raten … 👀 Politik muss halten, was sie verspricht! Und das gibt es nur mit einer AfD-Regierung. #AfD #nurnochafd #afdfraktion #deshalbafd #afdthüringen #CO2Steuer #AfD #Politik #CO2Steuer
