A new study from the German Diabetes Center shows that the so-called glucose trick, where vegetables are eaten before carbohydrates, initially leads to a lower blood sugar level, but after two hours the effect disappears and the values may be higher than without this eating sequence. #Blutzucker #Gemüse #Diabetes (translated)

The Australian exchange student wrote that it is hardly surprising that his own country ranks behind Iraq and Libya in energy security. He cited as reasons that the government had blown up nuclear power plants and forced mining companies to close their coal mines. He ironically referred to the outcome as "completely unpredictable." #Energiesicherheit #Atomkraft #Kohle (translated)

November Summer by Andreas Eschbach If geo-engineering is to save the climate... It has remained just lip service. No measure has really reduced carbon dioxide emissions; temperatures are continuing to rise worldwide. In Germany, it can sometimes be as hot in November as it used to be in summer. An environmental movement led by the charismatic climate scientist Dr. Frederick Rookwerper is advocating that only geo-engineering can still prevent the heat collapse of the Earth. With the intention of provoking a change in thinking, the activists are launching a pilot project. They have no idea what they are getting themselves into... What happens when politics fails and activists take matters into their own hands? What happens when an experiment goes awry and the effect is much greater than calculated? (translated)

Despite global climate goals and the energy transition, the number of planned coal projects has risen to 1,510 by 2025, with three new projects for each stopped project, while the focus is on the role of Turkey and Australia in coal use. #Kohlekraft #Klimaziele #COP31 (translated)

In the current coal scandal, former US ambassador Richard "Ric" Grenell is accused of being involved in an alleged bribery affair, in which he promised a Turkish billionaire access to high-ranking government officials in exchange for a multi-million donation to the Kennedy Center. #Korruption #TrumpSkandal #Grenell (translated)

Secret recordings from the animal rights organization Animal Rights Watch show shocking scenes from the Tönnies slaughterhouse, where pigs are anesthetized with carbon dioxide under agonizing conditions and are sometimes mutilated while still alive. #Tierschutz #Tierrechte #Schlachthof (translated)

GFrei.News reported that the planned flooding of the lignite mining areas of Hambach and Garzweiler is deliberately destroying the German economy and ending 100 years of affordable energy security. Plans from 1977 and 1995 had intended to fill exhausted open-pit mines with water from the Rhine and to renature them. Now, the approval for lignite mining is being revoked, although, according to the author, there is still enough coal there to supply Germany for another 100 years. Lignite is almost as cheap as nuclear power and is also used for briquettes, lignite dust, and fluidized bed coal, wrote GFrei.News. A fast-track approval process has been initiated for flooding the mining areas still containing coal, and the construction of a 45-kilometer long pipeline has begun at a high three-digit million amount. By 2030, this will destroy a resource wealth worth around 1 trillion euros, according to the author. A later resumption of mining would take decades and be too expensive. GFrei.News referred to the flooding as the permanent destruction of energy security and fuel worth 1 trillion euros. The excavator 293 will also be decommissioned: the vehicle weighs more than 14,000 tons, is 225 meters tall, and is the largest land vehicle in the world. It has been in operation for 30 years and is a symbol of German engineering and national pride, the author wrote. GFrei.News accused the state of "state terrorism against its own people" and wrote that the consequences would be far worse than the explosion of NordStream. The author hoped that the AfD would come to power in time to prevent the plans. #Energiewende #Braunkohle #Energiesicherheit (translated)

Morlock No. 2 wrote that currently 23 percent of electricity is generated from wind and 27 percent from coal. Despite the energy transition, hundreds of billions of euros have been rendered ineffective according to his depiction. Furthermore, ten times as much CO₂ is being emitted as in France, even though the country uses nuclear power plants, he wrote and called for finding the mistake. https://t.co/WUgsuv6LsT #Energiewende #Klimaschutz #Windenergie (translated)

readonly wrote that it is wrong to inherit wealth without one's own contribution, even if the deceased worked hard, already paid taxes on the wealth, and wanted to decide on its use after his death. At the same time, the receipt of citizen's income without one's own contribution is accepted, even for people who, in his estimation, have neither worked before, nor currently, nor will in the future. In his view, the difference lies not in the contribution made, but in the fact that the electorate should be favored and money needed for redistribution. #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Erben #Umverteilung (translated)

The German 'energy transition' with the phase-out of both fossil coal and CO2-free nuclear power has not been copied by any country in the world. Michael Eilfort (63), board member of the Foundation for Market Economy, also warns BILD of overly ambitious goals: "The German 'energy transition' with the phase-out of both fossil coal and CO2-free nuclear power has not been copied by any country in the world." #Klimaschutz #Energiewende #Klimaneutralität (translated)

It begins. The neo-Nazi Sebastian Koch, who recently had a raid at his house where weapons were found, is now sitting in the state parliament and collecting a lot of money. His first official act: threatening village associations with the withdrawal of funding in order to bring them into line. (translated)
