It will work as a bonus for everyone with ICE in winters as you can install special heating elements (simplest ones are basically heated oil rod) as they keep the car engine warm and toasty.

Which means less wear, faster start, and less idling, which is already good for the environment, even if they can't/won't switch to EV or hybrids

> The result means that transgender individuals can legally change their gender by self-declaration alone, without having to undergo a lengthy medical process — including a psychiatric assessment — as under the previous law.

>The changes will also see the abolition of a requirement that transgender people must be unable to reproduce.

>Under Finland's previous law, transgender people were required to provide a medical certificate proving they are sterile, in order to legally confirm their true gender.

From the article: Indigenous communities hold rights to more than half of the world’s land, but only a measly 10% is officially recognized and protected. Despite their persistent struggle for justice, political will has been lacking in many countries. According to a new study, we should all care about this struggle.

A team of researchers showed that indigenous communities are good stewards of nature and whenever they are given the right to manage land, they tend to make it better for the natural environment.

Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder have found that indigenous communities in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest who have formal recognition of their land rights reduce deforestation and increase forest cover. This supports previous studies suggesting that land rights can mitigate climate change and reduce biodiversity loss and suggests that granting native populations stewardship could be an important tool for environmental protection.

“Our study adds an important piece to the growing body of evidence that tenure in Indigenous lands has often improved forest outcomes—including now in the Atlantic Forest, which has experienced high deforestation pressures over a long period of time,” Rayna Benzeev, lead author of the study and researcher, said in a statement.

Yes:

>To prepare for winter, the EU imported 51 per cent more thermal coal last year, at 65 million tonnes, up from 43 million tonnes in 2021. Russian coal imports were banned last August, resulting in an even larger pickup in coal imports from other countries such as Indonesia and Australia, which rose from a small base to 6 million tonnes each. The panic buying turned out to be unnecessary. Two-thirds of the extra coal imported by the EU remained unused.

>During winter, 26 coal units across seven countries (most of which were in Germany) were reactivated to provide a safety cushion, which in the end was not needed. These units added less than 1 per cent to the EU’s coal power generation.
