Extreme weather failing to encourage political climate action, says activist Luisa Neubauer
Fridays for Future organiser warns conspiracy theories are increasingly taking hold despite effects of global heating
"The 28-year-old activist, who spent three months in the US before the presidential election, said she had been shocked to see the destruction from Hurricane Helene “play into the cards of those denying climate disasters”.

Far-right influencers and conspiracy theorists used the wildfires that ravaged California this month to attack efforts to stop the planet from heating. Similar disinformation was seen in Spain after deadly floods struck Valencia in October."

Hyundai launches $18,000 Inster EV in Japan - Charged EVs

Low-priced EVs are starting to appear in markets around the world—and not all of them are Chinese. Korean brand Hyundai has just opened orders for its Inster EV in Japan at a starting price equivalent to around $18,000. That’s even cheaper than BYD’s Dolphin at $24,500. (However, it’s not the...

Olaf Schultz suggested that EV is the future, the way to deal with it is not through extra duty on Chinese or American imports but give subsidy to buy EU made EVs. In China, they have a simpler scheme. Before you can buy a car, you need to buy a number plate. Each year, a number of plates are going to be auctioned. The cities control congestions and plan transports by restricting the number of plates on sale. ICE number plates can cost up to $15,000 each while EV number plates are free or much cheaper.
In the next 10 years, batteries are expected to drop in price at around 10% a year. New progress on LiS solid state batteries can be recharged in just 1 minute and keep 80% of the charge after 25,000 cycles. That's75 years if you recharge every day, a lifetime for most people. Solar panels are also deployed at exponential rate, more than double every year. Solar + storage batteries is the norm for new capacity.

Apparently, Trump said on interview after his speech to WEF that he has delegated peace in Ukraine job to Xi Jinping. Also, a federal judge has stopped temporarily one of his presidential orders, the one about birthright for immigrants children, because it's anti-constitutional.
Reality starts settling in.
He did have one good move though. He cancelled the app 'CBP One' on his inauguration. That instantly stopped thousands going through border control. Perhaps we should copy that idea at our ports.

"Sunlight melts snowflakes. Fire turns logs into soot and smoke. A hot oven will make a magnet lose its pull. Physicists know from countless examples that if you crank the temperature high enough, structures and patterns break down.

Now, though, they’ve cooked up a striking exception. In a string of results over the past few years, researchers have shown that an idealized substance resembling two intermingled magnets can — in theory — maintain an orderly pattern no matter how hot it gets. The discovery might influence cosmology or affect the quest to bring quantum phenomena to room temperature."

Heat is supposed to ruin anything it touches. But physicists have shown that an idealized form of magnetism is heatproof.
