Should IPCC apologise for adjusting its worst case global warming scenario? "Complete nonsense," says Prof. Detlef van Vuuren.

Most likely now is 2.5 to 3°C, which would be a very bad outcome already.

Okay I wrote this as snark but there is a body of economics research on this, Elinor Ostrom's Nobel-prize-winning work in fact.
Commons _can_ be managed, but it requires some interesting framework pieces to really work. I think actually trying to apply her ideas to the information commons is extremely prudent.
It's also a little uncharted because the commons isn't just a resource. It's people's creative output.

This is both appalling and utterly unsurprising.
Given how Google search results have been an ad-driven dark pattern for years, and the mostly-wrong stolen results of its LLM answers, my fear is people have been inured to it.
It already bends to governments, so expect more state disinformation.

Hitze und Schwüle: Gefühlte Temperaturen steigen weltweit drastisch
Die Erde wird nicht nur wärmer, sie wird für den menschlichen Körper immer unerträglicher. Eine aktuelle Studie im Fachmagazin "Nature Climate Change" zeigt, dass der globale Hitzestress seit den 1970er-Jahren dramatisch zugenommen hat. Eine Milliarde Menschen mehr als damals ist heute extremer Hitze ausgesetzt. Besonders besorgniserregend: Die Nächte heizen sich schneller auf als die Tage, was unserem Körper wichtige Erholungsphasen raubt.
