Klimaaktivismus kann die Zukunft kosten! Olaf Scholz will günstiges Gas aus den USA. Mehr Hitzetote in Europa.
Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz begrüßt die Pläne Donald Trumps zum Ausbau von Öl und Gas. Wegen der Wettbewerbspreise würde davon auch Deutschland profitieren. Doch Studien zeigen: wir brauchen diese fossilen Energieträger gar nicht. Außerdem: in Zukunft mehr Hitzetote und weniger Kältetote in Europa. Und: Klimaaktivistin darf in Bayern vorerst kein Referendariat machen. Das und mehr in dieser Folge KLIMANEWS am Mittwoch, den 29. Januar 2025. Für Feedback zu dieser Folge NEU NEU NEU hier entlang!

40. Hell at Sea- The Wreck of the Medusa
THIS EPISODE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN!! This is, in my opinion, the worst sea disaster ever recorded, and also one of the least known to the general public. I think there are many lessons that can be taken from this event that can help people directly. The madness that occurred on the Wreck of the Medusa can help explain why humans are so easily able to be manipulated, and why we can so easily be turned to violence on one another. At the end of the episode I give practical advice and tips on how to...

EM hringborðið - Undanúrslitin hefjast í kvöld
Komið er að undanúrslitunum á EM. Fyrri viðureignin fer fram í kvöld, þriðjudagskvöld, þegar Spánn mætir Frakklandi og annað kvöld mætast England og Holland. Til þess að gera upp mótið til þessa, og aðallega 8-liða úrslitin, komu þeir Birkir Björnsson og El Jóhann í stúdíó Fótbolta.net og ræddu við Sæbjörn Steinke. Hvernig gengu taktísku breytingar Southgate upp? Toni Kroos kvaddi og Ronaldo lék sinn síðasta leik á EM. Víti eða ekki víti á Cucurella og einn skemmtilegasti leikur mótsins þegar Holland kom til baka gegn Tyrkjum.

Enski boltinn - Ef ég tala, þá er ég í miklum vandræðum
Það var nóg af atriðum til að ræða eftir helgina í ensku úrvalsdeildinni. Það fer að styttast í annan endann á þessu stórskemmtilega tímabili. El Jóhann mætti í heimsókn á skrifstofu Fótbolta.net í dag til að fara yfir helgina með þeim Gumma og Steinke. El Jóhann hefur að sjálfsögðu enn bullandi trú á því að Arsenal geti tekið Englandsmeistaratitilinn í næsta mánuði.

Þeir Jóhann Skúli Jónsson og Sverrir Mar Smárason eru þekktir þáttarstjórnendur, en þeir létu vel af stjórn í þætti dagsins. Sæbjörn Steinke fékk þáttarstjórnanda Draumaliðsins og Svona var sumarið annars vegar og þáttarstjórnanda Ástríðunnar hins vegar til að gera upp 6. umferðina í ensku úrvalsdeildinni. Jonny Evans henti upp sýningu á Turf Moor, jafntefli í Norður-Lundúna slagnum, meistararnir halda áfram að vinna, Liverpool heldur áfram að elta og hvenær mun Brighton fara hiksta? Er Mikel Arteta að reyna vera of sniðugur?

We delve into her back ground and what got her into boats, and we have some really great story swapping back and forth.
