I am still in it for a wonderful green future. Nature and wildlife, but also useful, accessible tech, art, and urban planning. Polish, living in Sweden. I love living in the EU and the values it represents. Fascinated by and open to the rest of the world.

  • You can’t execute 268m people (75% of the population) very easily. You can let disease, famine, political violence do that more you.

    I think that, at least short-term, the harshest effects of the WHO exit will be felt outside the US. Like, big parts of Africa already feel the sudden cancellation of USAID. Though within the US, you guys also have the anti-vaxx and general anti-modern-medicine movement, that got crazy influential.

    Having said that, you seem to have a much better overview of their ideology and their plans. I hope they are wrong in overestimating the feasibility of that plan.

    Having said that, living outside and away from US I tend to see it as a lesser evil when the US sabotages its international strength. The dollar loosing significance would be a big one. But I might be naive. Especially if it helps/speeds up the fascist takeover.















  • I know some amazing portals in Polish.

    One about climate: https://naukaoklimacie.pl/

    Another about “nature” in general (probably “environment” would be a more fitting translation here). I even wrote an article for them at the end of my Master’s (they had it go through a senior researcher later to check the quality) https://naukadlaprzyrody.pl/

    On both of the abovementioned portals you get scientists writing pop-science, answering questions, debunking myths, etc.

    We also have “SmogLab” that used to focus just on smog issues, now is overall environmental. But I think for people from outside of Poland, especially coming from places with relatively good air quality (e.g. Scandinavia, but in this comparison, even all of Western Europe), the smog part might be especially interesting: It became a bit more of a news portal, though. https://smoglab.pl/smog/
