  • Climate Talks End With 'Empty Deal' That Fails on Forests, Finance, and Fossil Fuels | Common Dreams

  • Industrial manufacturing is declining in Europe for sure, but not because of complying to climate policies, as you claimed. Industrial production is falling in most European Union countries, largely due to a lack of competitiveness with China and the US.

    Also, the article you linked about the EU loosing manufacturing jobs does not back your claim. On the contrary it says: The move to a sustainable economy is an opportunity to turn the situation around. Towards the end, it also mentions that the EU should make sure that industry jobs are not lost and that Europe's industrial sectors and their workers are fundamental to delivering the climate solutions Europe needs, which are very different things to what you said.

  • Google’s bets on carbon capture power plants, which have a mixed record

    跳过

  • Carbon dioxide from Google’s power plant will be injected into the same geological storage formations already used by ADM’s ethanol facility. The site is the location of the first long-term CO2 storage well in the U.S.

    Typically, around 2,000 metric tons of CO2 are sent into the well every day. But injections there were halted in 2024 when salty brine, which stores dissolved CO2 deep underground, was found to have migrated into “unauthorized zones,” according to the EPA. ADM said the leak was the result of corrosion at a monitoring well, E&E News reported, and they’ve since resumed injections.

    A recent study of 13 CCS facilities representing 55% of all captured carbon shows that most aren’t living up to expectations.

  • Climate-Warming Methane Emissions from the World’s Biggest Livestock Companies Are Bigger Than From Major Oil and Gas Companies

    跳过

  • I don't think it's a misleading title because leaks are considered emissions.

    The leaks from oil & gas are huge to begin with, and some of them are even called super-emitting methane leaks. From another article:

    About 40% of human-caused methane emissions come from leaks from fossil fuel exploration, production and transportation. These rose by almost 50% between 2000 and 2019. Another 40% comes from agriculture(...) All are forecast to rise.

    Not only that these leaks and are not visible to the naked eye, so

    the big challenge is knowing exactly how much methane is being emitted, where it is being emitted and for how long it has been emitted. [source UN environment program]

  • The coal industry is collapsing

    跳过

  • The waste part, for some reason, I thought it was kinda implied. Thanks, anyways.

    The part that you say more or less that coal plants produce more radioactive waste than nuclear plants even if we take into account nuclear accidents, is the one that made me wonder tbh.

    Btw, perhaps, one of the most famous papers about this topic was written in 1978 [abstract, full pdf ], but it doesn't mention accidents. Actually, in the abstract they say that the study does not even assess, the total radiological impacts of a coal versus a nuclear economy. This one, from 2021, doesn't talk about accidents, either.

    I thought you might have a relevant article or something to share about the accident part you mentionned?

  • Sorry, I don't understand why you say this. Can you explain?

    Edit: Maybe it's the "skeptical" thing. Well this site is about the following

    Explaining climate change science & rebutting global warming misinformationGlobal warming is real and human-caused. It is leading to large-scale climate change. Under the guise of climate "skepticism", the public is bombarded with misinformation that casts doubt on the reality of human-caused global warming. This website gets skeptical about global warming "skepticism".

    Our mission is simple: debunk climate misinformation by presenting peer-reviewed science and explaining the techniques of science denial, discourses of climate delay, and climate solutions denial.

  • Coal plants produce more radiation than nuclear plants, even if you take all the accidents into account.

    In a way yes, but only in the sense that nuclear waste is supposed to be well contained and stored for disposal. Still, the accidents are not taken into account, at least in the studies I took a look at. If you have any that says otherwise, please share.

  • Italy moves to restrict sex education amid growing feminicide outrage

    跳过

  • If I got you right, it's kinda the other way around.

    Regardless of the last femicide, the government decided to promote these restrictive mesures on sex ed. That is because preventing gender-based violence and promoting consent are not notions that fascists care to advance, on the contrary.

  • I think this depends on the locality. Where I come from one could argue that burning a forest is a form of deforastation anyways, because in order to be able to get a building permit, it must not be in a forest zone. So this is a typical practice: burn forest, buy land, build villa/hotel/etc.

    In this context tho, I believe what is meant by deforastation is cutting down trees, clear-cut style, for some commercial purpose.

  • I think you are right, but we also need to factor in that the west has been exporting its industrial production to other countries (cheaper labor, cheaper taxes etc). So it seems to be a tricky thing to see this by country.

    The way I see things, it's more that the prevelant economic system dictates this kind of behavior, more than any one country. In the sense that the countries in power change, but they all follow some sort of capitalist model, which is also a form of neo-collonialism imo, at least when it comes from western countries . China is another story imo, that follows the economic model.

    Edit:

    1. The strikethrough
    2. blueworld@piefed.world I am not proud of my reaction to your approach, which really hit a nerve due to its tone. If you look into my post history, you will notice that sometimes I add stuff in the body section sometimes I don't. Personally, when the article is short usually I don't. Apart from that I am more interested in the people who are willing to to read the article, and what I add is for them (archive link, the study that inspired the article, etc). I don't care for those who are bored to make a click to check it out.

  • About this article, one thing that I don't like is that once more the focus is on personal decisions. This shifts the focus from a systemic problem to personal problem. It's the industry that dictates regulations and policies through lobbying. Let's keep our eyes on the goal.

    Edit: Of course boycotting the industry would be a great solution, and this doesn't even mean that someone needs to be vegan, or that they are loaded wth money. Or even avoiding bying these products would be great. Still, the most important thing imo is that industries stop doing what they do.

  • How the US has been a nation of suckers (forever)

  • Thanks for linking this. She does talk about this section at 37:39.

    Yes, as she has said before, she is against the genocide. Still, even here, she says stuff like

    Crimes by Israeli settlers tolerated by the government [38:39]

    No. The Israeli government promotes and legislates those crimes in the illegally occupied Palestinian territories - it doesn't just tolerate them.

    I have noticed that she really doesn't like talking about anti-zionist points, even tho every now and then she mentions that it is not the same as antisemitism. Here is a very gentle and well-intended critique of her approach to antisemitism.

  • This video is very informative and to the point imo, until she arrives at the point of Israel. Her analysis there becomes watered down to say the least in favor of white settler colonial zionism (after 42:55) by using the "both sides" arguments.

    This is from the comment section of her video, and I find it very accurate:

    Why would a study or analysis of the Palestinian Genocide require a look at antisemitic hate crimes? It has literally no bearing on whether Israel is engaged in a colonial project or exterminating Palestinians.

  • Starmer set to announce UK recognition of Palestinian state

    跳过

  • Great. Recognising Palestine is one part of the equation. Of course, this is done too many decades too late.

    The other part of the equation is Israel. Practically, what will the UK do to stop its Genocide and when? It looks like the UK still supplies millions of pounds worth of arms to Israel

    Edit: Freezing Israeli Zionist assets sounds like a great option too to stop a Genocide. And the UK knows how to do this since around £25 billion of Russian assets are held there (see article).

    Revealed: The British military college teaching Israeli soldiers

    After months of secrecy from Labour, we expose where Israeli troops have trained in Britain during the Gaza genocide.

    Israeli army officers have been allowed to study at a British military academy in central London throughout the Gaza genocide, Declassified can reveal.

    At least two Israeli colonels have attended the prestigious Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS) since 2023.

    One of the soldiers, thought to be Elad Edri, only graduated a fortnight ago.

    Another officer, Yeftah Norkin, completed the course in July 2024 and almost immediately led the army’s “Bang” division in Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. (...)
