I loathe advertising. Loathe it.
But once in a great while, I encounter an ad that is so perfect, I jump up and scream "Everyone must watch this now!"
This is one of those times.

Bayerns #Grundwasser hat sich erwärmt

In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben die höheren Oberflächentemperaturen zu einer deutlichen Erwärmung des Grundwassers in #Bayern geführt, zeigen Daten von 35 Messstationen. In einer Tiefe von 20 m ist das Wasser im Mittel fast 1°C wärmer als noch vor 30 Jahren. Die erhöhten Temperaturen im Untergrund könnten sich problematisch auf unterirdische #Ökosysteme auswirken.

"A court in The Hague will hear claims that Royal Dutch Shell has broken Dutch law by knowingly hampering the global phase-out of fossil fuels, in a case that could force the company to reduce its CO2 emissions.

Lawyers for a consortium led by Friends of the Earth Netherlands will argue on the first of four days of public hearings on Tuesday that Shell has been aware for decades of the damage it has inflicted and is acting unlawfully by expanding its fossil fuel operations.

It is claimed the Anglo-Dutch company is breaching article 6:162 of the Dutch civil code and violating articles 2 and 8 of the European convention on human rights – the right to life and the right to family life – by causing a danger to others when alternative measures could be be taken.

Last year, the Dutch supreme court upheld a groundbreaking 2015 ruling ordering the Netherlands government to do much more to cut carbon emissions, …"

Researchers left 17,000 wallets on the streets of 355 cities, some empty, some with money. Contrary to the predictions of economists, people everywhere were more likely to return wallets with money in them. But rates did vary from country to country. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/365/6448/70.full
