Hurray... no more lithium !
But there's more. R&D most of the time it's about the small steps and a lot of sweat.
This seems to be the giant historical leap forward.
Judge for yourself.

In the face of one of the world’s largest refugee crises, Chad is taking a bold and unexpected approach.
Instead of temporary shelters or short-term aid, the Chadian government is providing land, giving over 1 million refugees the opportunity to grow food, build livelihoods, and contribute to restoring degraded ecosystems.
This initiative isn’t just humanitarian, it’s ecological and economic.
Refugees are using water harvesting techniques to help regenerate drylands, contribute to the Great Green Wall of Africa, and transform barren landscapes into productive farms.
Could this be a new model for global refugee response?

The overwhelming majority of people in the world – between 80% and 89%, according to a growing number of peer-reviewed scientific studies – want their governments to take stronger climate action.
But at least for now, this global climate majority is a silent majority.
The current mismatch between public will and government action amounts to a deficit in democracy.

'BBC presentator Evan Davis moet stoppen met een podcast over warmtepompen omdat de organisatie bezorgd is dat praten over deze technologie in de ogen van het publiek te controversieel zal zijn.'
Misschien in de ogen van de fossiele industrie en een partij als Reform die ons willen leiden naar de #ClimateBreakdown.
#warmtepompen zijn geen controversieel onderwerp, punt.

Controversial to #FossilFuel industry and #Reform voters who are trying to kneecap anything that will help us avert #ClimateBreakdown.

Well, this paper is from Dr. Hansen, we better listen. Unfortunately (for us) he was correct all through the last decades with his calculations.

On of my guilty pleasures is watching reaction videos on YT.
Basking in the praise of my own society

Being a bit cocky I also like to write my own reactions to the reaction.

What New York Could Learn From Amsterdam’s Streets | Teacher Paul Reacts Netherlands"

-----original video by streetscapes:
---> What New York Could Learn From Amsterdam’s Streets <- [12:49 min]
---> youtube.com/watch?v=41WSPGunLOI <-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu_VNhhk3As
6 Lessons for teacher Paul [UK]
1st lesson: don't tell NYers what to do... The lesson, proven time and time again: create it and they will come. Create safe and fast infrastructure all over town and the bikers will show up, and be happy. [Not cultural at all, more like car brain at the helm.}
2nd lesson: Amsterdam has a long time history of POLITICAL WILL on safety and opposed, so called, faster cars. Later on public health was added to that WILL: less emission [pollution] and less noise.
3rd lesson: take traffic design seriously. That means the theory has to be adapted to new things learned. In the US, as far as I know, traffic design often works with far outdated data. And the study is averse to that adaptation. I wonder why ? Car brain ?
4th lesson; at 8:12 you did get an useful idea about the car industry's history. Why don't YOU fact check that ! Giving others your own homework, or is that what teachers do ? 
5th lesson: there is no one key to fix it all. not even public transport. That's a common US problem: not being able to go slow but ALL IN. Always looking for the quick and easy fix !
6th lesson: the Dutch are not skinny ! They are healthy, eaten fresh food as well as cycling.
Conclusion: What ARE the good thing of NY traffic [the point of the video], huh ? Record deadths, pollution ? Hurray !

Living in the Netherlands this is normal for me [all be it exceptional].
I used to commute to work on bike. No drivers license. Owning 3 bikes. One for urban traffic, to the train station. One for leisure. And the last at the trainstation of my workplace.
Would that was possible for every one.
Remember: 'If you build it, they will come' As it goes for bicycles it also goes for cars.

Why build bike lanes — shouldn’t we focus on public transit instead? There’s a criticism we’ve seen that bicycle urbanism is a niche obsession and that urbanists’ attention should instead be on public transit as a more robust, reliable, and realistic alternative to driving."

"Apr 19, 2025
Climate change is hitting cacao farms hard, leading to shortages in chocolate's raw ingredient. Every chocolate company is desperate as the price of cocoa beans has quadrupled after remaining relatively stable for decades. But there is hope. California Cultured is one of several firms aiming to mass-produce chocolate in vats using cell culture technology. New Scientist managed to get hold of a small sample and, in true scientific endeavour, did a blind taste test to see how it compares."

Sometimes I get very, very annoyed with my fellow countrymen when it comes to solar !
Money seems to be [have been] the primary goal for solar.
Should that goal not have been to contribute to the solution to the #ClimateEmergency.
#Mitigation, the ultimate solution.

"Apr 13, 2025
Rooftop solar PV is THE best way to reduce your household energy bills (alongside good insulation of course!). But the technology is woefully underutilised on a global basis, especially in regions that have the best sunshine, like Africa. Now a new report has crunched some numbers and calculated the climate mitigation potential of all those unused roofs around the world. And it's quite the impact!"
