Shipping regulations to reduce pollution may have exacerbated Great Barrier Reef bleaching
Rising ocean temperatures have been implicated in mass coral bleaching events affecting the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). These events have been increasingly frequent, with major events occurring in 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025. Now, in an unexpected turn of events, it appears that regulations introduced in 2020 to reduce ship fuel pollution may have actually increased the solar radiation that leads to increased coral bleaching, according to a study published in Nature Communications Eart…

Kentucky Supreme Court rules charter school funding unconstitutional
The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that a measure establishing public funding for charter schools is unconstitutional. The high court ruled that state funds “are for common schools and for nothing else.” The Republican-backed measure was struck down by a lower court in 2023. In an opinion released Thursday, the Kentucky Supreme Court wrote that the Constitution "does not permit funneling public education funds outside the common public school system.” In 2024, Kentucky voters rejected a…

Ein paar Anmerkungen zum Markt für Elektroautos in 2025:
* Tesla schrumpft bereits zum 3. Mal in Folge. Inzwischen werden nur noch knapp 25% der Verkäufe aus 2022 erreicht.
* Nicht Smart war es, den KLeinwagen ForTwo gegen einen SUV auszutauschen.
*Für die Chinesen BYD erfüllen sich alle Träume: sie haben Tesla weltweit und auch in D abgehängt: 700% bei Steckerautos.
* D ist zweitgrößter Produzent von Steckerautos. Warum weiter Verbrenner bauen?

Zuletzt hat er dort 2018 oder 2019 eingekauft, im Januar 2023 ist er verstorben. Ich habe den Shop mehrfach darüber informiert.

The BBC running damage control on its own broadcast is wild to witness. The most egregious part of the affair to me is that no one from BAFTA or the BBC even bothered to apologize to Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo when they got off the stage, let alone tell *them* what was going to be done about it. There was no effort to bring the three people involved together for resolution at the time of the incident, nothing.
But the other part of this that just grates on me with every article is the BBC trying to defend itself by saying “that another racial slur had been edited out of the broadcast.”
