Seen it far too often unfortunately.

And in some cities they got air conditioning banned or de-facto banned (made so expensive with additional hurdles that it's unaffordable for most, ironically often leading to people using extremely inefficient hose-out-the-window monobloc units that you can buy without asking anyone for permission).

Of course companies will be against it.

Not sure why climate activists would want people to suffer.

Some because they think it'll make people more aware of the problem and create more pressure to act, others because they think suffering is a virtue, people deserve it for what they have done to earth, and similar nonsense positions.

Decent? I know I've heard about him before he decided to go to Russia to be arrested and slowly killed.

The talks in Davos will follow a meeting in Malta in October, which was attended by around 70 countries from around the world as well as the European Union (EU) and the UN. Russia was not present. The Ukrainian peace plan foresees the immediate withdrawal of all Russian troops from all occupied territories, including Crimea.

So this isn't some major change or Ukraine planning to negotiate with Russia, more of a "hey world, how do we get Russia to fuck off" meeting.

I still don't understand why he committed suicide-by-Putin.

Did he really have more influence as a martyr in prison than a free man in exile?

Are there any hidden interests (e.g. environmental activists trying to make traffic a nightmare to discourage cars, someone able to profiteer from the current situation somehow, NIMBYs wanting to block the project due to some other location it affects and attacking it here because it seems easier)?

So one of the complaints seems to be... that you won't be able to see it from the road anymore, suggesting that the tunnel entrances will be out of sight of the monument. I haven't seen arguments that it'll disrupt the stability of the site or anything else either, so from the limited info I have, the complaints sound quite spurious.

Might want a Western one, I've heard the Russian ones like to explode and toss their turret when hut by a Cybertruck.

Skipping the wordle by messing with the system clock feels like cheating.

Weird. The article does have today's date but only mentions the Nov 10 decision. I think maybe what happened today is the publication of the full text of the decision?
