"Können wir den Klimawandel noch stoppen?
Nicht kurzfristig. Das Klimasystem ist ein wenig wie ein Supertanker ... Entscheidend sind aber gute Regierungsführung, vorausschauendes Denken und eine ernsthafte Planung."

Am Letzteren scheitert es, seit die Union am Ruder ist!

Daily Digest: A report by historian Peter Frankopan, revealed that after signing a military contract, a Russian soldier can expect to live for roughly ten days to three weeks, from the beginning of training to death on the battlefield.

I hope they signed up voluntarily.

🟦 I traveled to Bruges and spoke to Peter Frankopan about the brilliant new exhibition he’s curated on the city’s medieval history

He told me it was an “absolute thrill” to work on the eye-opening show 🇧🇪

Historians like Peter Frankopan estimate that Russia loses approximately eight soldiers for every Ukrainian casualty, largely due to widespread drone warfare. Despite these losses, Russian forces have yet to make significant territorial gains. 3/4

I think this is also one of the dangers of the "professor-as-poster" disposition we see fairly often. Frankopan and Sarris certainly should know better than this, especially uncritically repeating the story about Basil II.

But no they're now mostly reactionary influencers first, scholars second.

Was gerade in Europa geschieht, könnte der Moment sein, an dem wir später erkennen: Hier begann etwas zu kippen. Der Klimawandel wartet nicht auf unsere politische Bequemlichkeit. Er brennt, verdorrt und heizt Europa auf – und wir wissen es längst. Ein 🧵 ⬇️
