All four countries are better off economically in a major way and don’t have to do bad things such as sell #oil or force their population to procreate and consume more!
The #climate affected get a chance to not just survive but thrive!
Well, that is the context the uplifting #climatefiction #book “A New Faith”.

A New Faith

Sequoia, a city of climate refugees, has to decide whether to thrive in a future built from scratch or to barely survive because it cannot let go of its past.

#Canada, #Russia, and #Norway are, essentially, on a collision course with #China (#oil Vs #EV)

What to do?

Canada, Russia, and Norway have lots of empty #land which is relatively more habitable than the equatorial region which is rapidly becoming a hellscape due to #climatechange

RE: mastodon.social/@TinJar/116971…

A pathway for mass #migration as one way to address #climatechange -

#Canada, #Russia, #Norway, and #China have a bit of a problem. But there is a potential solution, too!
Canada, Russia, and Norway depend a LOT on exporting #oil
China #exports a lot of everything, especially, #solar #batteries #EV
Chinese #population is shrinking and they seem to be frugal folks - which means domestic part of the #economy is going nowhere including #construction

🚗 China now produces more than 60% of the world's electric vehicles. In 2025, 55% of all new cars sold there were electric.

Meanwhile in the US, the EV share of new car sales fell to about 5.8% in 2026 after federal tax credits expired. That 10% figure from a year ago is now history.

The infrastructure gap is just as stark. China ended 2025 with 4.7 million public charging points. The US had about 235,000.

On the tech side, BYD and Zeekr are deploying megawatt chargers pushing 1,000-1,500 kW. Most US fast chargers top out at 250-400 kW. Tesla's newest V4 Superchargers max at 500 kW, but no Tesla vehicle can currently use the full output.

The gap is widening, and US protectionism means this competition won't reach American drivers anytime soon.

How BYD's new EV charging tech and range stacks up against Tesla and the rest - Digital Trends

Five-minute charging and 1,000 km of range in a single announcement. BYD just changed what the EV industry considers possible — and the rest have some catching up to do.

We all know the APT numbers for #FancyBear and #CozyBear — #APT28 and #APT29. Both are attributed to Russian #intelligence. #APT1 through 27 are all from #China. Only the #EquationGroup doesn’t have an official APT number? Wake up, you sleeping sheep—we’re being thoroughly taken for a ride here. The Equation Group—run by the #NSA or #CIA — is probably the most dangerous group in the world, and yet it’s the one that doesn’t appear under any number on the #APT list? Who are you trying to fool here when it comes to #cybersecurity?

So, China is building a series of five dams on an active fault line: scmp.com/news/china/science/ar…

Which seems like a terrible idea… unless, I suppose, the motives are more geopolitical than domestic: tibetanreview.net/india-raises…

In which case, maybe it doesn't matter so much to the Chinese government whether the dams hold up, so long as it keeps their neighbors from deriving too much competitive advantage from the river.

...Die #Konzentrationslager wurden ursprünglich zur Ausschaltung der politischen Opposition geschaffen.
Über 6 Millionen haben die rechten #Tötungsfabriken nicht überlebt.

Wieviel effizienter hätten sie mit der permanenten Aufzeichnung und Analyse aller privaten Nachrichten in Europa noch sein können...?

Wie man in der Gegenwart die politische Opposition ausschaltet sieht man u. a. in #China, #Russland, #Iran, #SaudiArabien, #Ungarn und seit 2016 auch in den #USA.
