I think every school should have a greenhouse, a native plant garden, and community fruit trees.
Kids should grow up learning how to care for the land, not just memorize dates. 🍎

Alle hier so, oh Paris ist besser als @Stadt_Wien, macht alles grüner, mehr Fahrräder etc.
Es gibt meines Wissens KEINE Pariser Krokenwiese! Keine!
Und in Wien? Nun 😎

BREAKING: At 7:04 AM Eastern on Monday March 23, President Donald Trump posted that the US and Iran had “productive conversations.” By 7:10, the S&P 500 had surged 240 points, adding $2 trillion in market capitalisation. At 7:37, Iran’s Foreign Ministry denied all contact, calling it “falsehood and psychological warfare.” By 8:00, the S&P had fallen 120 points, erasing $1 trillion. WTI crude collapsed from above $100 to below $90, a drop exceeding 10 percent in hours.
$3 trillion swung in the S&P alone in 56 minutes. On two social media posts. While missiles were still hitting Kiryat Shmona. While the Israeli Air Force was striking targets in the “heart of Tehran” moments after Trump posted about productive conversations.
Now hold every signal from the last 12 hours simultaneously, because that is what the war requires you to do.
Trump says Iran wants to finalise the deal within five days. Iran says “no direct or indirect contact” and accuses Trump of buying time. Axios reports Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan are passing messages. An Israeli source warns the cancelled ultimatum may be read as weakness. Netanyahu says Israel is bringing Iran “to places it has never been.” Iran’s General Abdollahi warns of a “new secret weapon.” The IDF strikes an IRGC missile city near Isfahan while the power-plant pause is in effect. Rosatom evacuates Bushehr to a skeleton crew. The Pentagon accelerates 4,500 Marines. Iran’s Fars claims Trump retreated after hearing Iran would target all power plants across West Asia.
Every signal contradicts at least one other. That is not confusion. That is the war’s operating system.
Trump needs oil down before the midterms. One Truth Social post crashed WTI over 10 percent, doing more for American consumers than every naval operation in three weeks. Iran must deny talks because any appearance of negotiating with the country that killed Mojtaba’s father would end the regime faster than the bombs. Israel keeps striking because the IDF says weeks remain. The Pentagon deploys Marines because the five-day window may end with invasion, not a deal.
Every actor is simultaneously negotiating and escalating. Every statement is simultaneously true and false. The “productive conversations” happened through Turkish, Egyptian, and Pakistani intermediaries who held separate talks with White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi, per Axios. Iran must deny them to survive domestically. The strikes are real, with the IDF hitting the IRGC Khordad missile city near Isfahan even as power plants are paused, and Trump must claim progress to justify the pause. The troop deployment is real: 4,500 Marines and the 11th MEU accelerated toward the region. The secret weapon threat is real, because Iran needs escalation dominance to negotiate from a position its public denial says does not exist. Rosatom is evacuating Bushehr to a skeleton crew because Moscow calculates the next phase involves targets that glow.
This is psychological warfare at a scale that did not exist before social media gave sovereign leaders the ability to move trillion-dollar markets with a sentence. One Truth Social post moved more market value in six minutes than the entire Iranian navy was worth. One Mehr News denial erased half the recovery in 27 minutes. The war is no longer fought with missiles alone. It is fought with timestamps.
And through all of it: the strait is still closed. The 40 energy assets are still destroyed. The fertiliser is still blocked. The planting window is still closing. The helium is still bottled. Primorsk is still burning. The molecules do not read social media. The molecules wait.

BREAKING. Thirty-six hours ago President Donald Trump said “obliterate.” This morning he said “productive conversations.” The question every trader, diplomat, and general is asking: what broke between Saturday night and Monday morning? Six things broke simultaneously. Not one of them was Iranian. First. The bill arrived. The Pentagon requested over $200 billion in supplemental funding. The war cost $11.3 billion in six days, $16.5 billion in twelve. At $1.38 billion per day and accelerating, congressional resistance to the supplemental is real. The money that was supposed to fund “days not weeks” now needs a vote that may not pass. Second. The Fed killed the rate-cut thesis. On March 18, the Federal Reserve held rates at 3.5 to 3.75 percent and revised its 2026 PCE inflation forecast to 2.7 percent from 2.4, citing the Iran war energy shock. The dot plot shows one cut in all of 2026, down from two. Every basis point of delayed easing is pain for housing, credit, and the Magnificent Seven. The war that was supposed to demonstrate strength is demonstrating inflation. Third. The allies revolted politely. Twenty-two countries signed up to coordinate on Hormuz. Zero committed a warship during combat. Japan is releasing strategic reserves. South Korea’s Kospi has fallen 12 percent. Europe’s gas surged 35 percent after Qatar’s LNG was knocked offline & declared force majeure up to 5 years. Trump called NATO “cowards” and got a press release. The coalition of the willing is a coalition of the waiting. Fourth. TSMC sent the signal. Taiwan imports nearly 97 percent of its energy. Its LNG reserves cover 11 days. Qatar supplies a third of global helium, which TSMC needs for chip fabrication. The helium is bottled behind a closed strait. Every Nvidia GPU, every Apple chip, every AI cluster depends on a fab in Hsinchu counting its gas in single-digit days. The Magnificent Seven have shed hundreds of billions as energy rotation crushes tech. Fifth. Birol named the damage. The IEA chief told Australia this morning that 40 energy assets across nine countries are severely damaged, global oil supply has fallen 11 million barrels per day, the crisis exceeds both 1970s shocks combined, and no country is immune. He named fertilisers and helium as interrupted flows. The man who runs global energy security called the war Trump started the worst energy crisis in modern history. Sixth. The midterms. Gas prices are up 93 cents per gallon. Sixty-six percent of Americans call this a war of choice. Sixty percent disapprove. Fifty-seven percent say it is going badly. The numbers that matter in Washington are not barrels per day. They are approval ratings in swing states where voters fill their tanks every Tuesday. Six pressures. One post. President Trump did not discover diplomacy. He discovered arithmetic. The 48-hour ultimatum was a threat. The 5-day pause is a confession that the threat’s consequences were worse than its target. Destroying power plants would have sealed the strait permanently, triggered Ghalibaf’s promise to “irreversibly destroy” Gulf desalination and energy infrastructure, crashed TSMC’s supply chain, spiked inflation past 3 percent, and handed the midterms to the opposition on a platter of $7 gasoline. The pause is real. The relief is not. The strait is still closed. The 40 assets are still damaged. The fertiliser is still blocked. The planting window is still closing. The five-day clock is already ticking. The molecules do not negotiate. The molecules wait. Full deep dive analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

The UK is running out of drinking water.
Yes, really.
The UK is one of the wettest countries in Europe. Yet by 2055, England could face a 5 billion litre daily water shortfall without urgent action.
So how did we get here?
We have spent decades over-abstracting our rivers, draining wetlands, and failing to build new reservoirs. At the same time, temperatures are rising, droughts are becoming more frequent, and demand for water continues to grow.
When it does rain, our landscapes no longer hold water as they should. Hardened cities, deforested hills, and degraded soils send water rushing into the sea - often causing floods along the way.
But there is hope.
With the right leadership and investment, this crisis is solvable. We can fix leaking pipes, restore wetlands, reduce abstraction, reuse water, and work with nature to store it in the landscape.
What we need now is urgent action.
It is time to declare a national freshwater emergency and deliver a funded plan to secure our water future.
Because if we don’t act now, Britain will run dry.

Retired 4-star admiral and former Navy SEAL William H. McRaven—the man who oversaw the mission that killed Osama bin Laden—delivered a blistering assessment of President Donald Trump.
McRaven’s comments stood out not just for how direct they were, but for who they came from: a highly respected military leader warning about leadership, unity, and America’s standing in the world.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak said,
“Can the Strait of Hormuz be opened? You need to deploy two American divisions there and prepare to stay for months. That’s how the start of the war in Vietnam looked, the start of the war in Iraq, and the same in Afghanistan.
It succeeds at first. By the way, all wars, including this new chapter of ours, one must know: an initiated war starts with a brilliant achievement and impressive damage.
Then comes the stage of treading water, which I believe we have entered.
And if you don't know how to get out of it and cut it short in time, it ends in negotiations under conditions inferior to what existed before it all started, or in defeat.
And America hasn't won a single war. It won almost every battle, but it hasn't won a single war in the last 60 years.
All of this needs to be considered, and I very much hope I am wrong.”

This is a 100 MW solar plant in Dunhuang, China, which uses about 12,000 mirrors to direct sunlight onto a central tower.
This heats molten salt, which stores the energy and helps produce electricity even after sunset.

A former NATO commander just said the quiet part out loud.
Trump is trapped. The military logic of this war has collapsed into a binary no one in Washington wants to say clearly: either launch a ground invasion of Iran – a country of 90 million people, mountainous terrain, and three decades of asymmetric warfare doctrine – or declare victory over rubble and go home.
Neither is winning. One is catastrophe. The other is theatre. The Strait of Hormuz is still contested. Iranian proxies are still operational. The nuclear program is dispersed, hardened, and possibly accelerated. Air strikes didn’t end the threat.
Every day this drags on, the gap between what was promised and what is achievable gets wider.

Austria has integrated solar panels with farming, called Agri-PV.
It enables a microclimate that is more optimal for growth of plants, protecting the fruit from hail, heavy rain, and excessive heat. While also generating electricity.
They want to scale it across Europe!

The Government of Spain demands the opening of Hormuz and the preservation of all the energy sites of the Middle East.
We stand at a global tipping point. Further escalation could trigger a long-term energy crisis for all humanity.
The world should not pay the consequences of this war.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇶🇦
Qatari Minister Lolwah Al-Khater to Trump and Netanyahu:
“Stop speaking on our behalf. Stop using us as an excuse for your agendas. We don’t want you to ‘liberate’ us—we just want to be left alone. Stop fueling wars. It’s not our fault you failed in school and were educated by Hollywood—the world is not a movie.”

Der Thwaites-Gletscher im West-Antarktischen Eisschild wird komplett abschmelzen, weil er seinen Kipppunkt bereits 2016 überschritten hat. Das wird zu einem Meeresspiegelanstieg von etwa 2 Fuß = 61cm führen. In vielen Metropolen wird es ungemütlich nass.
