Die neue Bevölkerungsprognose BBSR wurde heute veröffentlich und ist ziemlich dramatisch - Gesamtbevölkerung 🇩🇪 steigt bis 2045 auf 85,5 Mio, aber mit EXTREMEN regionalen Unterschieden - Metropolen & Speckgürtel wachsen, Peripherie schrumpft rapide Für Zuwanderung... /1

You are outraged and condemn the Russian attack on the children's hospital in Ukraine. You mourn the lives lost and seek justice. But what practical actions can we take to make a real impact? Based on insights gathered since the attack, here is what can truly help 1/

Six months ago I wrote a viral thread, arguing that NATO has 2-3 years to prepare for Russia challenging NATO Art 5. I wanted to revisit the topic for a while. In light of @JDVance1's pick as VP, today seems as good as any. TLDR: panic should set in. 1/15

Global surface temperatures from Berkeley Earth are now out for June. It was the warmest June on record for land, oceans, and the globe as a whole by a sizable margin (~0.14C), and came in at 1.6C above preindustrial levels.berkeleyearth.org/june-2024-temp…

This article by Kai Arzheimer 🇪🇺 is an absolute must-read, especially for those interested in the upcoming state elections in East Germany. kai-arzheimer.com/paper/afd-east…

What holds back Germany? It is not high energy prices. It's real challenges are aging, underinvestment, and too much red tape. Read more here: imf.org/en/News/Articl…

I’ve had about 100 people send me the paper on green hydrogen This figure is pretty striking and I think fully elucidates how non-linear the pathway to low emissions will be But this finding is going to ruffle a lot of feathers either way doi.org/10.1016/j.joul…

So, what does the re-election of Donald Trump mean for climate change? We can make some educated guesses based on his first term, his campaign, and the expressed wishes of his allies. A few of my thoughts as a thread. 🧵

Ich muss mal ein bisschen ranten: Regulierungs-Monster EU? Es gibt hier diesen Post - da wird die Entwicklung der Wirtschaftsleistung der USA und der EU verglichen. Einst gleich groß, und jetzt liegen die USA meilenweit vorne. Schuld sei mangelnde Innovation. Aber das stimmt

My clever colleagues have assembled a model for forecasting the outcome of Germany's election. Short thread on some of the more striking findings 🧵economist.com/interactive/20…

Europe’s disarmed state is … an advantage ✅… IF we use it right by stepping up, NOW to arm ourselves, for the ST, MT & LT future in a smart way ❌not slowly spending a fortune trying to replace US capabilities & arming ourselves to fight the last war, not the next one. 🧵

In Germany, we have been living beyond our means for decades. The governments under Angela Merkel exhausted the peace dividend, for example, by expanding social spending. Now that the peace dividend is gone, every new government is loading up on debt…

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).

Bin gerade etwas entsetzt, wie Union und SPD das Schuldenpaket aufsetzen wollen. Die Politik droht schwere unrevidierbare Fehler zu begehen. Vier Dinge sind jetzt entscheidend: 1. Ausnahmen von der Schuldenbremse dürfen nur für Elp 14 gelten, also den Verteidigungsetat, gelten.

Im Grunde ist es für BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN doch ganz einfach und entspricht auch meinem demokratischen Verständnis: 1.) Aus staatspolitischer Verantwortung stimmt man der Ausnahme der Verteidigungskosten von der Schuldenbremse vor der Konstituierung des nächsten Bundestags zu. Damit kann

Erste Details sickern durch: Grünen haben Zusätzlichkeit von Investitionen und 100 Mrd für Klima- und Transformationsfonds rausverhandelt.

A German Gen Zer said in an FT interview that he’d never join the military, not even in the face of an invasion, because he’d “rather be occupied than dead.” You hear this mentality in Germany often, especially among youth. What I find most striking about this is the lack of any

Germany should definitely avoid Chinese wind projects, because China could use the project not only as part of hybrid warfare and espionage but also as a means of economic pressure. We should also stop being naive when it comes to China. asia.nikkei.com/Business/Energ…

I dont know if there is a kill switch in the F35’s or not. We obviously can not take your word for it. As one of the decision makers behind Denmark’s purchase of F35’s, I regret it. The USA can certainly disable the planes by simple stopping the supply of spare parts. They

Man kann ja gerne über Sinn des Elterngeldes diskutieren. Aber fände ich in der Kombination schon dreist von den Boomern: Sich selber Rente sichern und mittels Schulden auf Rücken der jüngeren Generation sogar ausbauen. Und dann obendrauf den U40 noch das Elterngeld streichen.
