V Kyjevě se nic neděje, tvrdila učitelka. Děti ji tajně nahrály. Přijde o práci - Seznam Zprávy

Hodinu slohu v 8. třídě na pražské Základní škole Na Dlouhém Lánu využila minulý týden učitelka Martina Bednářová k výkladu na téma válka na Ukrajině. Dětem ovšem místo pravdivých faktů předkládala lži šířené ruskou propagandu.

Jakmile začali argumentovat, že viděli ve zprávách, že Kyjev hoří, zeptala se jich, zda myslí zprávy České televize a pak jim začala vysvětlovat, že si informace musejí hledat ve více zdrojích. „ČT 1 patří do skupiny médií, které jsou vázány na miliardáře Sorose. A o tom víme přesně, komu ten je poplatný,“ reagovala Bednářová.

TADEAS: K tomuhle doporucuju serie Cosmos, jak tu puvodni (Carl Sagan), tak ty dve novejsi (Neil DeGrass Tyson).
Me coby laikovi to dost otevrelo oci, nejen co se klimatu tyka.

Oil firms’ climate claims are greenwashing, study concludes | Oil | The Guardian

Accusations of greenwashing against major oil companies that claim to be in transition to clean energy are well-founded, according to the most comprehensive study to date.

The study found a sharp rise in mentions of “climate”, “low-carbon” and “transition” in annual reports in recent years, especially for Shell and BP, and increasing pledges of action in strategies. But concrete actions were rare and the researchers said: “Financial analysis reveals a continuing business model dependence on fossil fuels along with insignificant and opaque spending on clean energy.”

“If they were moving away from fossil fuels we would expect to see, for example, declines in exploration activity, fossil fuel production, and sales and profit from fossil fuels,” he said. “But if anything, we find evidence of the reverse happening.”

“Unfortunately, the way the energy markets are structured around the world, fossil fuels still enjoy many [regulatory and tax] advantages and renewables are still disadvantaged,” he said.

Jeste k Petersonovi

Peterson’s false rhetoric v. reality
While Peterson, who New York Times columnist David Brooks has called the most influential public intellectual in the Western world right now, paints a dire picture the reality is that his claims are not backed up by reality. Our research shows that the transition to renewable energy will lower energy costs over time and in many areas, we are already seeing wind and solar outcompeting fossil fuels.

For example, our 2021 report Put Gas on Standby showed new onshore wind and solar investment options are already cheaper than the costs associated with the continued operation of existing gas plants in the US. By 2030, we project the costs for both renewable technologies will fall to levels less than half the long-run marginal cost for gas.

The ability of renewables to provide cheaper power is also true when it comes to coal. In 2018, we found that by 2030 building new renewables will be cheaper than continuing to operate 96% of today’s existing and planned coal plants.

Helping the poor
Given Jordan Peterson’s concern for the poor, he should know that instead of impoverishing people, our research finds that the opportunities for growth are greatest in emerging markets. This is driven by the fact that many developing nations are building out their energy systems, and cheap renewables offer a route to bring cheaper power to more people, create new industries, jobs and wealth. These benefits could be especially felt in Africa which has a massive 39% of global potential growth in renewables and could become a clean energy superpower.

In addition, providing jobs and cheaper energy, moving to a low carbon economy will cut greenhouse gas emissions and protect us from the worst impacts of climate change. This is critical if we want to help those living in poverty for the simple fact that, as numerous studies have shown, the extreme weather created by global warming will disproportionately impact the poorest communities around the world.
