How was your morning in your city?

The sad day COP28 phased out the ambition to “phase out”.

“I wish that the capitals of the wealthiest nations, where decisions that shape the planet's fate are made, would feel the heat first. But the reality is harsh. In the air-conditioned offices of world leaders, the future often seems distant.”

Substack Notes: A Threat to Twitter's Monopoly?

“Twitter reminds me a bit of the oil industry. This old dominating force still has the money and the power to set the rules while fearing new disruptive developments like innovation in renewable energy. Substack is new, rapidly growing, constantly innovating, and well-managed.”
