Indications multiply towards a so far significantly underestimated speed and intensity of global warming, according to that a significantly underestimated impact of climate change, and a significantly underestimated loss of biodiversity. What we need now is…
2025 “OPEC International Seminar” shows fundamental misunderstanding within (global) politics
There is this fundamental misunderstanding from (global) politics, corporations would act in the “common interest”. No. Corporations act to maximise their individual profits and will use all legal possibilities to achieve this goal. Adam Smith (1723-1790), the “father of capitalism”, was already aware of and very clear about that. Having…
Global warming is like a shark attack
(Global) Politics failed to keep global warming within the 1.5°C (physical) limit and we think, global warming is still significantly underestimated, since we expect an exponential temperature rise (cf. “Temperature rise will be exponential“). Let us keep this simple. This is not a matter of even more or better data….
