Global brightening (globale verheldering) is de toename van de hoeveelheid zonnekracht die het aardoppervlak bereikt. Dit fenomeen begon rond 1990 en volgde op een decennialange periode van global dimming.

🇷🇺 Economist Vyacheslav Shiryaev:
If Ukraine decides to finish the job, russia’s oil refining can be wiped out in 2 to 3 weeks.
Not years.
WEEKS.
Over the past 5 days, 3 russian refineries have been completely shut down.
Ten major refineries left.
One a day.
Gasoline production → zero.
russia cannot import 100,000 tonnes of fuel a day.
It doesn’t have the currency.
It doesn’t have the options.
Ukraine holds the switch.
And once the refineries are gone, the war economy runs on fumes.

PUTIN AND XI: THE DICTATORS' ALLIANCE IS CRACKING
A serious conflict is reportedly brewing between Moscow and Beijing. According to Chechenews, citing unnamed insiders, Xi Jinping has demanded almost unlimited access for Chinese companies to the natural resources of Siberia and Russia's Far East. The price? China's assistance in securing a deal with Trump over Ukraine.
The latest private conversation between the two dictators reportedly turned extremely hostile. Xi demanded written guarantees granting China preferential access to Russian resources for decades. Putin refused. The Kremlin apparently still hopes to bring Western companies back after the war, regain access to technology, and resume selling off Russia's natural wealth to American and European investors.
Meanwhile, Beijing reportedly suspects Moscow of playing a double game. Russian intermediaries may already be offering Trump's circle projects previously promised to Chinese investors. According to the report, Putin's inner circle is divided. One faction fears losing China, Russia's largest buyer of natural resources. The other believes Xi is exploiting Moscow's growing dependence.
If these reports prove accurate, the humiliation for the Kremlin would be extraordinary. Putin dreamed of destroying Ukraine's independence and rebuilding the Russian Empire. Now he may find himself bargaining for the right to control his own country's territory and resources.
China has no intention of rescuing Putin's regime for free. Beijing wants its price: natural resources, mineral deposits, and economic influence lasting decades.
The irony is monstrous. A dictator who sent hundreds of thousands of Russians to their deaths in pursuit of someone else's land now risks turning his own country into China's raw-material colony.
The reported details of these private negotiations have not been independently confirmed. But Russia's dependence on the Chinese market makes such a clash of interests entirely plausible.
Putin wanted an empire. He may end up handing Xi the keys to Siberia.

Dear Americans, today is Election Day.
Before you cast your vote, remember Izium, Ukraine.
414 civilians. Five children. Tortured. Executed. Buried in a forest.
Your president, Mr. Trump, called russia’s conduct “frankly normal.”
Remember that.

Zeg @MinPres @Minister_FIN
Waarom betalen wij 35% méér belasting op de Gasprijs dan de Belgen en 25% méér belasting dan de Duitsers?
En dat terwijl zij nog ons Aardgas via oude contracten voor nog geen €0,03 binnen krijgen uit Groningen?
En daarna al de tyfus belasten

Please pray for Christians in Nigeria. This Christian girl was captured and had to choose between converting to Islam or death.
She chose death.
May all Christians have this kind of courage.
This is what Islam wants to bring to the world. Convert or die.

Sander Schaepman over de rellen in Walibi: 'Het gaat wederom voornamelijk om Marokkaanse jongeren die de boel verstieren.'
"Op de een of andere manier blijven allerlei mensen altijd maar weer zeggen: dat is niet zo of het is een maatschappelijk probleem."
"We hebben in Nederland inmiddels een cultuur dat bepaalde groepen alles kunnen doen wat God verboden heeft. Elke keer de boel verstieren en elke keer begint dan de hele grote bagatelliseren operatie uit de gemeenschap zelf: het valt wel mee of het is een maatschappelijk probleem."
"Vooral linkse politici die dan elke keer zeggen van: het is discriminerend en stigmatiserend. Als je nou gewoon stopt met het gedrag, dan hoeft niemand te discrimineren of te stigmatiseren. Daar begint het mee."
- Waarom zijn het steeds deze jongeren die in beeld komen?
"Ik ken veel mensen uit de Marokkaanse en Antilliaanse gemeenschap. Die zeggen van: het zijn jongens die echt de hele dag bezig zijn met foute dingen, verkeerde filmpjes kijken. Dus er ontstaat een soort cult van geweld onder grote groepen jongeren."
"Alleen dan zie je dat een bepaalde groep zich toch elke keer weer manifesteert door dan vooraan te gaan staan als het misgaat."

Gasprijzen verdriedubbeld en nu gaat Qatar LNG van USA kopen (om te verkopen aan klanten in Azië). Minder LNG voor NL: de hoge gasprijs wordt zo structureel. NU stoppen met beton storten en gaswinning hervatten en Groningers royaal compenseren! NL in de kou door Haags wanbeleid.
🇶🇦 QatarEnergy has lined up 3 US deals in 2 days.
The world’s second-largest LNG exporter is now buying American LNG.
Cheniere Energy, Inc.: signed, 4m tonnes a year from 2031 to 2054
Venture Global LNG: in advanced talks for at least 3m tonnes a year
Woodside Energy’s Louisiana LNG: in talks for up to 3m tonnes a year over 15–20 years
If all 3 close, that’s about 10m tonnes a year.
Add Qatar’s 70% of the 18m-tonne Golden Pass plant in Texas ( ExxonMobil).
Why would Qatar buy gas from someone else?
Because this year a single strait cut off its exports.
When Hormuz shut, QatarEnergy declared force majeure and bought 33 spot cargoes of US LNG, mostly from Venture Global, to keep supplying Korea, Taiwan, India and Japan.
In LNG your reputation depends on delivering.
Qatar’s customers have 20-year contracts with it.
If it can’t ship from Ras Laffan, it ships from Louisiana.
Then there’s the price.
Many of Qatar’s long-term Asian contracts are linked to crude oil.
US LNG costs about 115% of Henry Hub plus a liquefaction fee of around $2.50.
With Henry Hub near $3, that’s about $6 at the plant before shipping.
So Qatar can buy at a Henry Hub price and sell at an oil-linked price.
Qatar doesn’t set the oil price, but every extra dollar on Brent lifts what its oil-linked buyers pay.
Every US cargo Qatar buys is a cargo Europe and Asia can’t.
The world’s biggest LNG seller is now bidding against its own customers for American supply.
That’s why JKM and TTF sit near $30.
Qatar is buying a second route out and Henry Hub is starting to shape prices in Doha.
