The risks of normalising cycling in a car-dependent infrastructure
Where is the safe cycling infrastructure?
"Many Australians are interested in cycling but feel intimidated by riding in traffic. Others are uncertain about route planning, road rules or cycling infrastructure. In highly car-dependent places, cycling can feel unfamiliar, risky or at odds with car-related norms. Simply providing technology and infrastructure does not overcome this.""Australia’s investment in cycling infrastructure remains essential. We need safer bike lanes, secure parking and better integration with public transport."

The 2026 episode questions the livability of territories.
"We do not rule out having temperatures around 48-50 degrees in a punctual and very regional manner in France.""Climate change which is linked to our predatory and unsustainable lifestyles is emerging."
We need to quit management and embrace transformation.
"The priority no longer is to return to normal, no longer to do things as before, it is to change."There are worldviews to transform.
Christophe Cassou researches climate. Listen to him in French: https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/l-invite-e-des-matins-d-ete/christophe-cassou-face-a-l-ete-cataclysmique-vivre-ce-que-l-on-a-passe-sa-vie-a-annoncer-2357103

"We are exposed to major #risks for people, and even for animals, and for plants, trees. Plants are no longer able to photosynthesise properly."
"These conditions will completely change the landscape."
"Above all, we need to find nature-based solutions."

The EU report is detailed and gives an impression that a 3°C planet would be harsh but manageable under the same institutions.
The report does not wonder about unknown unknowns. It does not address supply-chain disruption, financial contagion or people displacement. It lives in a fancy Fortress Europe.The report also never mentions #AMOC once, even as the evidence for the risk of its collapse to Europe hardens and Iceland starts treating it as a national security threat:

U.S. #lawmakers are #investigating the use of #ChinaAI models by #Americancompanies, including #DoorDash. The #investigation aims to understand the #security implications and potential #risks associated with relying on Chinese AI technology. The committees are particularly concerned about the growing adoption of #OpenWeightAI models developed in #China, which offer #competitive capabilities and #lowercosts. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/31/us-lawmakers-doordash-chinese-ai-models.html?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

Accepting a hypothesis depends on the importance of being mistaken. It can be considered a judgment with ethics attached.
Without accounting for multiple values and preferences in policy design, scientific insights risk becoming politicized, potentially reinforcing dominant parties’ interests in funneling action while shifting risks to vulnerable populations.
Roger A. Pielke Jr. advocated for taking the role of saying "How about these other ideas?" instead of taking a position on currently debated topics.ref. (2007). "The Honest Broker: Making Sense of Science in Policy and Politics" 🧩 🧵

Ian Bremmer: "Cuba, the biggest prize still on the table, is where Trump thinks he can replicate his Venezuela success with much greater historical resonance. Trump is not done causing trouble, but his capacity to do long-lasting damage has peaked."
