My main account is here. I'm also using this one: solo@piefed.social, because I really like the feed feature.

  • Five geoengineering trials the UK is funding to combat global warming

    Jump

  • I have noticed that The Conversation has articles that I consider to be great and others that I find to be the opposite. Unfortunately, for me, this one is in the later category.

    In this one, mainly they talk about how the technologies will work, about money and the urgency to use this tech. The real urgency is to start phasing out fossil fuel globally. Also, they don't talk about the unintended consequences, the too many known unknowns, and let's keep in mind there are uncountable unknown unknowns in geoengineering.

  • Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries

    Jump

  • Coincidentaly, I also posted this article but after reading it a second time, I decided to delete it because I found it was very problematic since it says very contradictory things. If I misunderstood something, please point it out to me.

    Examples of contradictions:

    Over 99% of the almost 1.89m tCO2e estimated [...] is attributed to Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza.

    [..] 50% [of CO2e emissions] were generated by the supply and use of weapons, tanks and other ordnance by the Israeli military (IDF), the study found.

    • And there is this graph claiming that most emissions by sector come from Gaza aid delivery (trucks).

  • According to this article, it looks like most emissions come from Israel's IDF

    Over 99% of the almost 1.89m tCO2e estimated to have been generated between the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack and the temporary ceasefire in January 2025 is attributed to Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza.

  • I would say, it's much longer than 40 years.

    This is what the United Nations, use as starting point:

    1917 – 1947: British mandate

    Palestine was among former Ottoman territories placed under UK administration by the League of Nations in 1922. All of these territories eventually became fully independent States, except Palestine, [...]

  • Please, stop using the tactic of whataboutism. Meaning, this paper is specifically about Israel's war on Palestine, so let's talk about this post, and not everything else instead.

    Edit: I need to correct my comment, since this paper is about

    • Israel - Palestine
    • Israel - Iran
    • Israel - Lebanon
    • Israel - Yemen

  • What fruit do you wish more people knew about?

    Jump

  • Yes, it's Diospyros kaki! And your Diospyros blancoi, I don't think I've ever seen them. I'll ask around if we got them around here. Btw, do you find them to be delicious? For D. kaiki I can say some people don't like them. Personally, I like them a lot when they are super ripe, otherwse tbh not so much.

  • Can Plants Hear Their Pollinators?

    Jump

  • Not too sure I understand what you mean. Needs a published paper first, for what?

    This is about a congress. For some reason, I wouldn't be surprised if a scientist could present early findings of their research in a scientific gathering, meaning before publishing a paper. Just to be clear, I really don't know what are the general or specific rules in order to participate in a congress, a conference etc, so please correct me if my assumption is wrong.

  • What fruit do you wish more people knew about?

  • I think in english it is called persimmon.

    I don't know why, but it's not easy to find this fruit even tho it grows localy. They really are not common, unless you know a tree!

    Maybe take a look at the article?

  • Suriname president vows oil bonanza won't hit carbon-negative status

    Jump

  • Yes, I see many parallels between your example and Suriname's. And I don't see how the people can benefit from this drilling. Even if he keeps his "vow" to give some money to the people, the local environmental devastation will be too vast for a country that is quite small. Meaning, I cannot see a scenario in which people would actually benefit from the drilling activities.

  • Indigenous Bajo suffer child deaths & toxic sludge amid green energy push

    Jump

  • I think I understand your point, but it looks like I see things very differently.

    Mining companies all over the world are breaking the laws because it is more profitable for them to pay some fines when they get caught, instead of following the law. This is the problem.

    Since green energy needs mining, we should always talk about both green energy transition and mining as one topic in order to apply efficient solutions. This is why it is called the Triple planetary crisis, because the topics of climate, environment and biodiversity, intersect and viable solutions are only those that take this as a fact.

  • Tbh from an automated translation from this text, the impression I got was that the OP just wants to scam good-will people to get money, to create from Socks that stay white - not just socks, but a symbol of purity to Eco-friendly fuel for yachts and jets that does not destroy the ocean.

    I dream of creating a brand ...

    If you are an engineer, an entrepreneur, a designer, a scientist, a crypto enthusiast - and you feel that the world is suffocating, and you want to do something real - write to me.

    @SIMA@lemmy.ml if you believe I got you wrong, I am open to hear more about it.

  • Basic Principles of Deep Ecology by Arne Næss and George Sessions

    Jump

  • I haven't really followed deep ecology but to my understaning there is a lot of room for criticism. At least for the past? Idk how things are today on this topic. Anyways, the following article written in 1989, meaning a few years after the one posted. It is a harsh criticism on this movement but a well founded one imo.

    Social Ecology versus Deep Ecology: A Challenge for the Ecology Movement by Murray Bookchin

    Let us face these differences bluntly: deep ecology, despite all its social rhetoric, has virtually no real sense that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in society and in social problems. It preaches a gospel of a kind of "original sin" that accurses a vague species called humanity---as though people of color were equatable with whites, women with men, the Third World with the First, the poor with the rich, and the exploited with their exploiters.

  • Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time

    Jump

  • I think the rest of the article (just below the graph you added) gives a decent overvue on how the situation is, and includes some equaly decent projections. It looks like there is a possibility that they have peaked, and will plateau or hopefully will diminish emittions. Still, no certainty that this is a trend, or that it will continue.

    And June is a month to keep an eye out to see how its new electricity pricing policy for renewable energy will be.

  • Economic growth makes us all better,

    No. Economic growth under capitalism is the problem. Capitalism requires infinite growth on a finite planet, and this is what got us here in the first place. So this is not a sustainable economic system.

  • Warming climate is already too hot to handle for 2% of amphibians, study shows

    Jump

  • The answers are out there, but one problem is that we - the people - expect that those in power will implement them, and they don't.

    So, we need imaginative solutions, in order for these fixes to be implemented.

  • Warming climate is already too hot to handle for 2% of amphibians, study shows

    Jump

  • I could say, I do share your anxiety about what will happen in the near future. Still, personally, I don't like doomerism because imo it restricts our collective imagination towards solutions.

    Apart from that, lets keep in mind that this is an article about amphibians specifically, not about saving the planet or humans in general.

  • I would like to explain my downvote.

    This quote is part of a stand up comedy by George Carlin that was performed many decades ago. When I saw it on yt I really liked it.

    This quote here, out of context is pure doomerism.
