Bravo ♻️💙

If a country or city or individual wants to contribute to reducing climate change, there are ways to help. A little research and upfront costs will go a long way. It isn't just up to the government to look after our world.

It’s mostly marketing. The biggest dream of Vienna‘s ruling parties ist to build the Lobautunnel - an old-school fossil project which will destroy part of Vienna's national park, promote fossil-fuelled car traffic and destroy all efforts to achieve climate neutrality. And at a cost of billions.

it is the happiest country on the planet.

We had a chance. Two Dolls Donnie and Elon have destroyed that chance. Wait until the food sources dry up & crop failures start. You might see a different attitude amongst 'some' of the climate change deniers.

Another reason to love Austria!

File this under things you'll never see China or India doing.

Sad but probably true!

Brilliant 🤩

Trump administration has a secret, novel approach to combatting climate change: 1. Population decline from deportations & shorter life expectancy by ending vaccinations & funding for healthcare, clean water, food safety, etc. 2. Decrease carbon footprint by stopping international trade & tourism.

Vienna is one of my favorite cities in the world, and it doesn't surprise me that they would take a leadership role in climate action.

Interesting how possible a cooler future can be.

Out of about 190 sovereign jurisdictions, only 15 have federal governments — roughly 9%. Most national governments are correctly described as "national" or "central," and there is a fundamental difference setting them apart from federal governments. Time for NPR to catch up on its political science.

Some positive news and yet another step forward in addressing the #ClimateCrisis

Vienna is setting an example to follow for progressive climate action.🙂 Here in the USA - THE CONVICT and his lawless MOB are perpetrating climate vandalism on a CRIMINAL scale!🙃

Hurricane season is going to be ‘interesting’ for the MAGAt gulf states. 😈😂

but what makes it worse is how they are denying it in public BUT are taking active steps to fight it within the military and other agencies (well, while they were properly functioning). the GOP's rhetoric is just another lie to fuel culture wars to keep us distracted.

What a novel idea---a country actually taking steps to deal with climate change. But wouldn't that require the leaders to acknowledge that climate change is a real issue?

Brilliant!

History should not be considered as a obstacle in taking example from these countries by the west

National not federal. Not every country is as messed up as the US.

@georgewhitesides.bsky.social

Sadly, the current regime, in the US has decided that short-term profiteering is far more important than saving our species from extinction.

While Austria is a federation, as is the U.S., not all national governments are "federal governments." They are not synonyms.

"Top 10 peaceful nations (2024 Global Peace Index): Iceland, Ireland, Austria, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, Portugal, Denmark, Slovenia and Malaysia." Peaceful equates with economy, low crime, diversity, tourism, & cooperation (e.g. Austria re: climate change). US ranks #132 peaceful.

Hope many american cities will follow this example

😄😖

which federal governments, hm?

Y’all put an apostrophe on a plural… you meant to write “governments,” not “government’s.” #smh

I loved Vienna. I visited in the late 90s. It seemed so unlike the capital of a country. It seemed more like a neighborhood. Everyone was so friendly, and the whole city was clean and beautiful. The subway worked on the honor system. Blew my mind.

Bravo Vienne !

And what kind of jobs are these people gonna do? More ICE agents? Prison guards? You can bet THEY aren’t gonna be out in the fields! 😤🤬 BUT, it’s okay, there won’t be jobs for Americans so these people will regret coming here! 🤮

oh yeah, they are so racist that they are importing more nazis.

Why is Antarctic gain ice for last few years.

Thank you for doing your part. We all can. Move away from all oil products. Hard yes. Move away from plastics, hard to do yes. Grow things. Participate in YOUR government Stand up Do your part

Austria doesn't have a compliant media, in bed with Wall St./Pentagon like NPR.

Wien - ist und bleibt anders :)

But sadly not a single word about the transition to a plant-based agriculture and food system, which are at least as important as the energy transition for reducing methane emissions and as important as the energy transition for reducing CO2 emissions.
