Good luck with this. Keep us posted

solo@slrpnk.netOPto World News@lemmy.world•Statement on the situation in Iran | IAEAEnglish1·29 days agoI also think that the Israeli attacks are related to Iran’s nuclear program but I don’t think they are related to this alleged leak. Here is a 25 min long al jazeera podcast for more on this:
solo@slrpnk.netOPto World News@lemmy.world•Statement on the situation in Iran | IAEAEnglish22·29 days agoThank you for your input. Even tho I find this to be totally faisable, from what the cradle article provides, I cannot verify much:
- fars looks like it’s an Iranian outlet I personnaly don’t know if I can trust or not, regardless of mbfc
- the informed sources are not named
- I didn’t manage to find the documents mentionned*
Apart from that at some point it mentions that Grossi said in Times of Israel that “We have seen some reports in the press. We haven’t had any official communication about this.”, but it is about Iran stealing Israeli documents.
Anyways, if you or anyone has more on this, please share.
Edit: *I mean deducted, or something

solo@slrpnk.netMto Ocean Conservation & Tidalpunk@slrpnk.net•Sharks & Rays Found Using Offshore Wind Farms As Habitat - CleanTechnica6·29 days agoI’m a bit confused because the title claims that windfarms are habitats, and in the article itself it says:
“We’re trying to understand whether these animals are actually using the wind farms as habitat, or whether they’re being displaced by them,” says Annemiek Hermans, PhD candidate at Wageningen University & Research.
solo@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Five geoengineering trials the UK is funding to combat global warming2·1 month agoI 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.

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.

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

solo@slrpnk.netOPto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Suriname president vows oil bonanza won't hit carbon-negative status3·2 months agoYes, 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.
solo@slrpnk.netto Green Energy@slrpnk.net•Indigenous Bajo suffer child deaths & toxic sludge amid green energy push4·2 months agoI 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.

solo@slrpnk.netto Anarchism and Social Ecology@slrpnk.net•Basic Principles of Deep Ecology by Arne Næss and George Sessions5·2 months agoI 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.
solo@slrpnk.netOPto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time5·2 months agoI 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.
This is a video about Europe (mostly Germany and France), not the world as you asked, but I think it includes some answers to your question.
