Wir fangen in den Sozialwissenschaften und in der politischen Diskussion gerade erst an zu sehen, dass die, die am wenigsten zum Klimawandel beigetragen haben, am meisten darunter leiden oder leiden werden.

Die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen haben größten Einfluss. Im Alltag müssen wir viele Entscheidungen und Abwägungen treffen, weil Strukturen nicht da sind. Wir müssen permanent mit Dilemmata umgehen: Wenn das Fleisch aus der Massentierhaltung nicht so preiswert wäre, stellte sich nicht die Frage, ob man das oder das teurere Biofleisch nimmt. Oder: Wenn die Bahn pünktlich und preiswerter wäre, würde man nicht überlegen müssen, ob man stattdessen fliegt. Hinzu kommt die Politik der Privatisierung der letzten Jahrzehnte. Da haben sich, beispielsweise bei der Bahn, Privateigentumsformen durchgesetzt. Es gibt kaum noch kommunalen Wohnungsbau. Es liegen kaum noch gemeinsame Infrastrukturen vor. Das hat dazu geführt, dass wir über die letzten 40 Jahre kulturell mehr und mehr auf Eigenverantwortung und Eigennutz gepolt wurden. Das hat beispielsweise zu Ungleichheit in der Vermögensentwicklung geführt. Soziologisch könnte man von einer Phase der Entsolidarisierung sprechen. Das ist jetzt ein Riesenproblem. Denn angesichts des Klimawandels bräuchten wir viel mehr Solidarität. Um die Lasten für den Klimaschutz fair zu verteilen und im Bereich der Klimaanpassung – da kommen Kosten auf uns zu. Wir kämen als Gesellschaft besser durch den Klimawandel und durch andere krisenhafte Zeiten, wenn wir gleicher wären. Ungleiche Gesellschaften sind wesentlich weniger resilient und damit weniger widerstandsfähig.

Das sind immer Bereiche, in denen Gewohnheiten besonders stark ausgeprägt sind. Oder in denen sich ein Anspruchsdenken entwickelt hat, sodass jemand meint, etwas stehe ihm zu.

So kommt es zu dem Phänomen der inneren Buchhaltung. Man sagt sich, dass man ja immer mit dem Fahrrad zur Arbeit fährt, sodass man sich ein, zwei Flüge im Jahr gönnen kann. Das passt natürlich nicht. Mitunter wissen wir auch nicht, wie wir das kognitiv aufeinander beziehen sollen.

Frank Adloff: Das ist ein weit verbreitetes Phänomen, das aus Psychologie und Soziologie bekannt ist: Wir wissen etwas und haben auch Pläne und die Motivation, etwas zu tun – tun es am Ende aber nicht. Das gibt es in vielen alltagspraktischen Bereichen. Wir nehmen uns jedes Jahr zu Neujahr vor, ins Fitness-Studio zu gehen, und es klappt nicht. Beim Klimawandel kommt hinzu, dass Menschen evolutionär am besten auf greifbare und konkrete Gefahren reagieren. Wenn eine Spinne in unserem Haus herumkrabbelt, werden wir sofort aktiv. Doch der Klimawandel ist ein abstraktes Phänomen, das – so glauben wir manchmal – noch in der Zukunft liegt. Es ist vielleicht auch räumlich weiter entfernt. Deshalb handelt man verlangsamt.

You can simplify your life by including external packages in your app, which frees you up to concentrate on its essential features. However, occasionally, you could encounter a problem asking you to raise the Android minSdkVersion when you add the packages. This occurs because projects produced both before and after the Flutter 2.8 release require a higher version of the Android SDK from the plugin.Adding external packages facilitates the completion of your app’s difficult functionality. You might occasionally run into a problem with “flutter.minsdkversion” while adding external packages, which will prompt you to increase the minSdkVersion. This occurred as a result of the plugin requiring a higher version of the Android SDK for the project.

"opioid savings cards" to encourage patients to stay on the drug longer, which led to increased sales and profits. Purdue's sales reps were rewarded with bonuses for generating more prescriptions, and the company's executives had no incentive to question excessive sales.

Jin's operation was based in China, and he used encrypted communications and cryptocurrencies to conduct his business. The investigation involved a team of agents from various federal agencies, including the DEA, FBI, and IRS, who worked together to gather evidence and track down Jin's associates in the US. One of these associates, Bin Wang, was arrested in 2017 and later sentenced to six years in prison. The team discovered that Jin was using a company in Tonga to ship his packages, and that he was offering a wide range of synthetic opioids, including carfentanil and U-48800. As the investigation continued, the team found that Jin's operation was linked to numerous death cases across the US, and that he was using his websites to sell drugs to customers in the US. The team eventually identified Jin as Fujing Zheng, a 35-year-old man from Shanghai, and his father, Guanghua Zheng, who was 62. The Zhengs were found to be operating a sophisticated online drug trafficking operation, using encrypted communications and cryptocurrencies to conduct their business. Despite the evidence gathered, the Chinese government refused to extradite the Zhengs to the US, citing a lack of evidence. The US government eventually indicted the Zhengs and shut down their websites, but they remain at large in China. The investigation highlighted the challenges of combating online drug trafficking, particularly when it involves foreign nationals and jurisdictions.

Leroy Steele, a local drug dealer, who had been purchasing fentanyl from a Chinese chemical company using the alias Gordon Jin. Detectives found emails and phone records showing Steele's communication with Jin, who was advertising fentanyl and other illegal drugs on the open internet. The detectives ordered fentanyl from Jin as part of their investigation, which was delivered to them in the mail.

Bryan Stalnaker, had worked for Steele and Robinson, performing odd jobs in exchange for dope and serving as a "tester" for new batches of fentanyl.

Steele's involvement in the drug trade, including protein powder, baby formula, and powdered sugar used to mix with fentanyl, as well as a tub containing Magic Bullet blenders used to mix the drug.

Magic Bullet was often found alongside other blenders and coffee grinders. The ease of access to the Magic Bullet, which was widely available at stores like Target and Walmart for $29.95, made it an attractive tool for amateur mixers.

amateur mixing of fentanyl, often using household blenders like the Magic Bullet, was leading to inconsistent and often deadly doses, highlighting the "failure of content uniformity" on a national scale.

n 2006, a fentanyl outbreak in the US was linked to a Mexican company called Distribuidora Talios, which was raided and shut down, ending the outbreak. The mastermind behind the operation, Ricardo Valdez-Torres, also known as El Cerebro, was arrested and revealed to have a background in business and a history of cooking fentanyl.

Valdez-Torres began producing fentanyl instead, creating a batch of ten kilos. He warned the cartel that the fentanyl needed to be diluted 50:1 to avoid killing users, but this warning was not heeded by street dealers. The fentanyl was sold as heroin, leading to many overdoses and deaths. The case was investigated by Ryan Rapaszky, who later saw the connection between this incident and the rising opioid epidemic in the US.

unknown author named Siegfried, which describes a method for making fentanyl. This method, known as the Siegfried method, was later used by underground chemists to produce the drug. Fentanyl had benefits in medicine, but it also had a darker side, as it could be produced in a laboratory and replaced heroin, generating significant profits with minimal risk. The story then shifts to Dr. Michael Rhodes, a pain doctor in Tennessee, who was prescribing large amounts of OxyContin, a narcotic painkiller made by Purdue Pharma.

Janssen's work on fentanyl and its analogues has had a significant impact on the medical field, but also raises concerns about the potential for abuse and addiction.

Janssen's most notable invention was fentanyl, a powerful painkiller that changed surgical anesthesia. He also synthesized fentanyl analogues, which were molecularly similar to fentanyl but tweaked to be considered separate drugs.

As a result, meth lab seizures decreased, and the cooks and workers from Apatzingán returned to Mexico. The Mexican traffickers then shifted their focus to producing meth in Mexico, taking advantage of the country's access to world chemical markets and compromised authorities. This led to the creation of the modern Mexican meth trade, with traffickers controlling production from raw materials to finished product.

mporting ephedrine from Mexico, setting up labs in California and teaching others how to cook meth.

Methamphetamine was initially produced by biker gangs in the US, but a new recipe using ephedrine was rediscovered in the 1980s. This method was easier and allowed for mass production, democratizing methamphetamine. Donald Stenger, a middle-class, organized individual, played a significant role in popularizing this method. He was eventually caught and died in 1988, but his innovation led to San Diego becoming a major meth production hub.

Mexico's first traffickers were peasant farmers who grew drugs to make a living, but they eventually abandoned their traditional crops to focus on drug trafficking.

realized that this was why overdoses were exploding in Chicago and other cities.

The traffickers invested in the lab, but when they realized the profit potential of fentanyl, they killed Montoya, seized the lab, and took control. This marked a shift in drug trafficking, with the Sinaloa cartel discovering fentanyl and wanting more of it. The lab had enough ingredients to produce sixty kilos of fentanyl, which could lead to millions of street doses.

The project, known as "the Project," is led by a chemist known as "the Brain," who is producing fentanyl, a painkiller that is far more powerful than morphine. The fentanyl is being manufactured in a lab in Mexico and is being sold on the streets of Chicago, leading to a rash of overdoses and deaths. Rapaszky's investigation leads him to uncover the truth about the Project and the Sinaloan traffickers' involvement in the fentanyl trade.

Most companies where I worked have a history of rebuilding their applications every 3 to 5 years, some even 2 years. This has extremely high costs, it has a major impact on how successful the application is, and therefore how successful the company is, besides being extremely frustrating for developers to work with a messy code base, and making them want to leave the company. A serious company, with a long-term vision, cannot afford any of it, not the financial loss, not the time loss, not the reputation loss, not the client loss, not the talent loss.

The city's elite was forced to acknowledge the poor as equals, and the government recognized the need to treat the comuneros (community leaders) with respect and give them responsibilities and opportunities.

In the 1960s, the use of LSD was seen as a dichotomy between "straights" who did not use illegal drugs and those who got "stoned." However, this dichotomy made it harder to understand why certain substances like tobacco and alcohol were legal, while others like marijuana and LSD were illegal.

making everyone who was stoned a part of an "illegal nation." Government authorities and parents saw illegal drug use as a dangerous practice, and many antidrug advocates made little effort to differentiate between illegal drugs. The criminalization of LSD made its use both more dangerous and more a clear sign of cultural rebellion. Just by using LSD or marijuana, an individual was declaring themselves an opponent of the status quo willing to go to jail in pursuit of a favorite form of altered consciousness.

As a result, underground chemists and dealers took over, and the quality of LSD became unreliable. The US government also began to crack down on LSD use, holding congressional hearings and eventually making it illegal in 1966.

The marijuana trade expanded with new entrepreneurs, including border smugglers and those in hippie tourist resorts. These groups capitalized on their existing networks and skills, such as bilingual abilities and connections with mountain growers.

Mexico became a popular destination for tourists, who would travel to the country to experiment with drugs, including marijuan

The demand for marijuana was fueled by the counterculture movement, with young Americans seeking to rebel against traditional values.

The media played a significant role in shaping public perception by emphasizing the dangers of drugs, affecting both public and medical views on LSD and its users. Psychedelic experts, who also used the drug, faced a dilemma between their professional roles and political pressures. By the late 1960s, the credibility of psychedelic psychiatry was questioned, and therapists were seen as unqualified to address LSD abuse.

In the 1960s, a moral panic emerged as politicized youth were seen as promoting immorality, creating tension between generations.

The media's portrayal of LSD as a symbol of an emergent youth counterculture further exacerbated fears about the drug's impact on society. Medical experts, such as Osmond and Hoffer, criticized the media's sensationalism

public panic about acid made establishing research laboratories for testing underground drugs politically unpalatable.

What is the scientific community doing to bolster the resiliency of climate change research in the US?

United States, amphetamine consumption took off, with pharmaceutical companies manufacturing 3.5 billion tablets annually by the late 1950s.

e US military continued to use amphetamines heavily, with the drug becoming standard issue during the Korean War.

Germany did not experience the same post-war surge in stimulant use due to the dismantling of domestic production and tighter controls on Pervitin during the war.

Pharmaceutical companies sold the drug, marketed as "wake-a-mine," to the public, leading to widespread use and addiction.

The use of stimulants during World War II led to addiction problems among soldiers on all sides. In Japan, the problem was particularly severe, and the country experienced its first drug epidemic. Many soldiers and factory workers who had become hooked on the drug during the war continued to consume it into the postwar years.

he Japanese imperial government also used methamphetamine to enhance the performance of its soldiers and pilots. The drug, known as Philopon, was distributed to pilots for long flights and to soldiers for combat.

he British distributed 72 million standard-dose amphetamine tablets during the war, and the Americans used Benzedrine, a type of amphetamine, to help pilots stay awake during long flights.

Even then, the drug continued to be dispensed on both the western and eastern fronts, with 10 million methamphetamine tablets sent to the eastern front in the first half of 1942 alone.

use of Pervitin was instrumental in the success of the Blitzkrieg, allowing German troops to push ahead rapidly and catch their enemies off guard

drug was often dispensed in the form of chocolate bars, known as Fliegerschokolade (flyer's chocolate) and Panzerschokolade (tanker's chocolate), and was taken by a large proportion of officers

media portrayed Chinese and Korean individuals as suppliers of the drug, allowing the Japanese to cast themselves as victims of "pollution" by those they had wronged. This depiction implicitly absolved guilt for imperial opium operations on the Asian mainland. By 1954, 58.1% of suspects arrested for violating the Ban on Stimulant Drugs showed signs of hiropon addiction, and an estimated 1.5 million Japanese were stimulants users.

and its production and consumption remained legal until the late 1940s.

ver, Japan's defeat in 1945 led to the dismantling of its empire and the end of its drug economy.

After Japan's defeat in World War II, the country experienced a methamphetamine epidemic, which was eventually resolved through public campaigns against stimulant drugs.

These arrests often involved Asian and African men selling to white girls, reflecting Britain's racial and colonial relationships. The interwar years saw a shift in drug use, from medical or iatrogenic addiction to hedonistic drug use.
