News | Tagesschau: Plan des Umweltbundesamts - Bis zu 70 Cent mehr für den Sprit
Keine Pendlerpauschale mehr, deutlich höhere Spritpreise und ein Tempolimit: Das Umweltbundesamt hat laut "Süddeutscher Zeitung" einen eigenen Plan erarbeitet, wie Deutschland seine Klimaziele im Verkehr erreichen könnte.
Um die deutschen Klimaziele im Verkehr zu erreichen, sind nach Einschätzung des Umweltbundesamtes drastische Einschnitte nötig. Alle Privilegien etwa für Dienstwagen und Dieselkraftstoffe müssten wegfallen, auch die Pendlerpauschale müsse abgeschafft werden, berichtete die "Süddeutsche Zeitung" unter Berufung auf eine interne Studie des Umweltbundesamtes. Die Klimaziele im Verkehr seien "ambitioniert, aber machbar", hieße es in dem Papier. Entscheidend sei allerdings ein Ausgleich sozialer Härten...

Sacha Baron Cohen: Facebook would have let Hitler post Jewish ‘solution’ ads
Jewish comedian and actor slams social media platforms as ‘greatest propaganda machine in history,’ reserves much of his outrage for Mark Zuckerberg
By Josefin Dolsten
Times of Israel
22 November 2019, 8:20 am
NEW YORK (JTA) — Baron Cohen has slammed the social media industry and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg, saying the site would have let Adolf Hitler post 30-second ads on his ‘solution’ to the ‘Jewish problem.’”FULL SPEECH:
Photo: videocapture
Cohen made a career out of playing absurd comedic characters, from the dopey Brit Ali G to the Kazakh journalist Borat to the Israeli veteran Erran Morad. He rarely gives interviews and stays relatively far from the movie star limelight.
But on Thursday, Cohen tossed aside the humorous facade to excoriate the social media industry and the “autocracy” he says it promotes in a non-ironic speech.
After receiving the international leadership award from the Anti-Defamation League at its annual conference at the Javits Center in Manhattan, the British Jewish comedian slammed social media sites as the “greatest propaganda machine in history” — reserving most of his 15-minute speech to specifically critique Facebook and its CEO Zuckerberg.
“Facebook, YouTube and Google, Twitter and others — they reach billions of people. The algorithms these platforms depend on deliberately amplify the type of content that keeps users engaged — stories that appeal to our baser instincts and that trigger outrage and fear,” Cohen said. “It’s why YouTube recommended videos by the conspiracist Alex Jones billions of times. It’s why fake news outperforms real news, because studies show that lies spread faster than truth.MORE: https://www.timesofisrael.com/sacha-baron-cohen-calls-social-media-greatest-propaganda-machine-in-history/
“And it’s no surprise that the greatest propaganda machine in history has spread the oldest conspiracy theory in history — the lie that Jews are somehow dangerous. As one headline put it, ‘Just Think What Goebbels Could Have Done with Facebook.‘”
Cohen spent a significant part of his speech criticizing a recent address Zuckerberg gave at Georgetown University in which the Facebook founder spoke about the importance of upholding free expression on social media. Cohen called out Facebook for allowing political ads on its platform without verifying the veracity of their claims. Twitter and Google have recently taken steps to ban such ads.
“Under this twisted logic, if Facebook were around in the 1930s, it would have allowed Hitler to post 30-second ads on his ‘solution’ to the ‘Jewish problem,’” Cohen said, saying the site should fact check all political ads.
The actor also urged social media sites to consider delaying real-time posts that could spread hateful content, citing the gunman who attacked two mosques in New Zealand and livestreamed his attack.
“Why can’t we have more of a delay so this trauma-inducing filth can be caught and stopped before it’s posted in the first place?” he asked.
Cohen said that social media companies should be held responsible for the content spread on their sites, referencing a federal law that shields them from liability for specific posts.
“Maybe it’s time to tell Mark Zuckerberg and the CEOs of these companies: You already allowed one foreign power to interfere in our elections, you already facilitated one genocide in Myanmar, do it again and you go to jail,” Cohen said.
“On the internet, everything can appear equally legitimate. Breitbart resembles the BBC. The fictitious Protocols of the Elders of Zion look as valid as an ADL report. And the rantings of a lunatic seem as credible as the findings of a Nobel Prize winner. We have lost, it seems, a shared sense of the basic facts upon which democracy depends.”
The speech was not completely devoid of humor — Cohen joked about a key Jewish adviser for President Donald Trump.
“Thank you, ADL, for this recognition and your work in fighting racism, hate and bigotry,” he said. “And to be clear, when I say ‘racism, hate and bigotry,’ I’m not referring to the names of Stephen Miller’s Labradoodles.”
Cohen additionally addressed the idea that he promotes anti-Semitic stereotypes in his movies, which groups like the ADL have criticized in the past.
“Now I’m not going to claim that everything I’ve done has been for a higher purpose,” he said. “But when Borat was able to get an entire bar in Arizona to sing ‘Throw the Jew down the well,’ it did reveal people’s indifference to anti-Semitism.”
Cohen said he has been “passionate about challenging bigotry and intolerance” his entire life and wrote an undergraduate thesis on the American civil rights movement “with the help of the archives of the ADL.”
The ADL said that more than 1,600 people attended the daylong event, which included a range of sessions on anti-Semitism and hate.

The first spacewalk to service the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) could not have gone better. Lead spacewalker ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano is imaged here hitching a ride on the International Space Station’s 16-metre long robotic arm to kick off the first of four ventures to service the particle physics detector on 15 November.
While all spacewalks are a carefully planned and detailed affair, the four spacewalks for AMS are exceptionally difficult as the bus-sized dark matter detector was never designed to be maintained in space. But after three successful years of delivering ground breaking science, the decision was made to extend its lifetime.
The cooling pumps for AMS-02 need maintenance and without them it will no longer be able to collect data on the cosmic rays that are bombarding our planet. The first question spacewalk designers had to answer whether this was even possible.
The first spacewalk proved it was not only possible, but thanks to the planning and trained that began as early as 2017, Luca and his spacewalking partner Andrew Morgan could achieve more than scheduled – setting them in good stead for the next phase.
The spacewalk began, as they all do, with “prebreathing” for up to two hours. Similar to scuba divers, astronauts can suffer from the ‘bends’: quickly changing pressure can turn the nitrogen in human bodies into bubbles with serious symptoms. To avoid this, astronauts breathe pure oxygen to purge their bodies of nitrogen.
Luca and NASA astronaut Drew Morgan left the depressurised Quest airlock at 13:10 CET (12:10 GMT), with Luca grabbing the ride to AMS on the robotic arm controlled by NASA astronaut Jessica Meir while Drew ferried handrails and equipment by hand to the worksite.
The main task of this spacewalk was to remove the debris shield covering AMS, with an estimated three hours portioned for this task. Luca and Drew managed to jettison the debris shield to burn up safely in Earth’s atmosphere well ahead of schedule.
Luca and Drew also installed three handrails in the vicinity of AMS to prepare for the next spacewalks and removed zip ties on the AMS’ vertical support strut.
Amazingly, the duo were still well ahead of the six hours planned for the main task of removing the debris shield.
When time permits, mission control give spacewalkers some “get ahead” tasks. Although there were no get-ahead tasks planned for this spacewalk the duo was so far ahead of schedule that mission control agreed they continue work originally planned for the second AMS spacewalk. Luca removed the screws from a carbon-fibre cover under the insulation and passed the cover to Drew to jettison once again.
The pair cleaned up, took some photos of their killer views, gathered tools, and made their way back to the airlock, clocking in 6 hours and 39 minutes for this promising start to AMS maintenance.
The next spacewalk is scheduled for 22 November. Watch the spacewalk via ESA Web TV.

News | Süddeutsche Zeitung: Masern zerstören das Krankheitsgedächtnis des Körpers
- Forscher zeigen erstmals, dass eine Masernerkrankung Immunzellen und Abwehrmoleküle nachhaltig zerstört.
- Die körpereigene Abwehr wird dadurch über Jahre geschwächt.
- Fachleute raten deshalb noch eindringlicher zu einer Masernimpfung.
Erstmals ist es Immunologen gelungen, die langfristige Beschädigung des körpereigenen Immunsystems durch eine Masernerkrankung nachzuweisen - und auch zu erklären. Wie ein britisches und ein amerikanisches Forscherteam jetzt in Science und Science Immunology berichten, vernichtet das Masernvirus sowohl schützende Biomoleküle, als auch die entscheidenden Immunzellen der körpereigenen Krankheitsabwehr. Folge dieser Zerstörung ist die schon lange bei Masernpatienten beobachtete "Immunamnesie", die mit einer erhöhten Anfälligkeit für Infektionen und auch einer erhöhten Sterblichkeit einhergeht...
Info: Gerade bei @Lady Death gesehen und für wichtig befunden.

News | Tagesschau: Appell in Fachzeitschrift 11.000 Forscher warnen vor Klimanotfall
Knapp vier Wochen vor dem UN-Klimagipfel warnen 11.000 Wissenschaftler vor einem "Weiter So" beim Klimawandel. Die Erderwärmung nehme weiter rapide zu. Der Menschheit stünde "nie dagewesenes Leid" bevor.
Der Menschheit steht nach Überzeugung von Wissenschaftlern aus aller Welt "noch nie dagewesenes Leid" bevor, wenn sie nicht ernsthaft gegen die Erderwärmung kämpft. Trotz aller Warnungen in den vergangenen vier Jahrzehnten nehme die Erderwärmung weiterhin rapide zu, warnten mehr als 11.000 Forscher in einem gemeinsamen Appell in der Fachzeitschrift "BioScience"...

News | Tagesschau: Pläne der Regierung - Wasserstoff soll "Schlüsselrohstoff" werden
Beim Batterieantrieb hat sich Deutschland überholen lassen, bei der Wasserstofftechnologie will die Regierung schneller handeln: Vier Ministerien arbeiten an einem Strategiepapier mit ehrgeizigen Zielen.
Beim Thema Elektromobilität hat die Bundesregierung nach Meinung von Experten wertvolle Jahre verstreichen lassen, um die entscheidenden Weichen zu stellen. Jetzt drängt die Zeit, denn um die Klimaziele 2030 zu schaffen, müssen weitere Verbrennungsmotoren durch Fahrzeuge mit emissionsärmerem Antrieb ersetzt werden...
Meine Meinung: Das kommt denen aber reichlich früh. Ich erinnere mich noch gut daran als man exklusiv auf den Elektroantrieb setzte und alle anderen Technologien wie das Kinde mit der Wanne ausgeschüttet hat!

News | Tagesschau: Klage im Flüchtlingsstreit - Mangelnde Solidarität kann EU-Recht brechen
Mit der Weigerung, Flüchtlinge aufzunehmen, haben Ungarn, Polen und Tschechien 2015 gegen EU-Recht verstoßen. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt ein Gutachten im laufenden EuGH-Verfahren. Das könnte das Urteil maßgeblich beeinflussen...
Meine Meinung: Interessant wird es wenn klar wird welche Konsequenzen diese mangelnde Solidarität für die entsprechenden Länder hat bzw. ob es für sie überhaupt Konsequenzen hat. Und wenn es wirklich wirksame Konsequenzen hat, ob man das daraus erwachsende Solidaritätskonzept auch auf andere Bereiche der EU ableiten kann.
