solo@slrpnk.netOPto World News@lemmy.world•Statement on the situation in Iran | IAEAEnglish1·21 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 | IAEAEnglish22·22 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

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.

solo@slrpnk.netto Global News@lemmy.zip•Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries0·1 month agoCoincidentaly, 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).
solo@slrpnk.netOPto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries0·1 month agoAccording to this study, 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.

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

solo@slrpnk.netOPto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries0·1 month agoPlease, 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

Maybe take a look at the article?
solo@slrpnk.netto Green Energy@slrpnk.net•Indigenous Bajo suffer child deaths & toxic sludge amid green energy push0·1 month 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.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 time0·2 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.
solo@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•5 ways we’re making progress on climate change0·2 months agoEconomic 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.
solo@slrpnk.netto Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•Stellar, a very convincing vision of how we can move towards a Solar Punk world.0·2 months agoIf I understand you correctly in the part you talk about labor, robotics and AI, it reminds me of what was said by capitalists when automations started being employed in factories, meaning many, many decades ago.
At the time the capitalist narrative was saying to workers stuff like “we know you work hard, but thanks to the technological advancements in automations your children will work less and have a better life”. We very well know this never happened, only the rich got richer, to the detriment of everybody else and the planet as a whole.
So, allow me to say, this approach is not new.
solo@slrpnk.netto Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•Stellar, a very convincing vision of how we can move towards a Solar Punk world.0·2 months agoI was wondering if anyone here has read it as well. And what your take is.
Personally, I will not read it because:
James Arbib is a technology investor and the founder of Tellus Mater, an independent philanthropic foundation dedicated to exploring the impacts of disruptive technology and its potential for solving some of the world’s most challenging problems.
Tony Seba is a world-renowned thought leader, author, speaker, educator, investor and Silicon Valley entrepreneur.
In relation to the content of the book, I wouldn’t be too surprised if these two capitalists suggest misleading technological “solutions” to a problem that is not technological in nature, but systemic. Meaning, the problem is the eternal growth of the capitalist system on a finite planet, and there is no techno-fix for that. Also, I’m pretty sure they are making baseless claims about humans and human societies to back their proposals.
Anyways, now that I said all that, may I suggest another reading? Totally free and priceless :)

I spent too many hours yesterday trying to find the relevant info without taking this into consideration.
solo@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Two-thirds of global warming since 1990 caused by world’s ‘wealthiest 10%’0·2 months agoI know that in the article they mentions €42,980 and I appreciate carbon brief. Still, I tried to find in the study itself how they calculated it, but somehow I didn’t manage to. This is why I asked for another link.
solo@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Two-thirds of global warming since 1990 caused by world’s ‘wealthiest 10%’0·2 months agoDo you have a decent link to corroborate that?
solo@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Two-thirds of global warming since 1990 caused by world’s ‘wealthiest 10%’0·2 months agoDo you have any decent link that supports this?
I didn’t manage to spot in the study itself, how they calculate this number. If anyone has, please share this part.
solo@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•World's wealthiest 10% have contributed to two-thirds of global warming since 1990, study finds0·2 months agoI don’t think so. I have the impression that the introduction part was talking in general, mainly because it says The amount varies by location and local wage trends, and then it talks about the US, specifically.
Appart from that, in page 23 of the Global Wealth Report 2024 by UBS in The global weath pyramyd 2023 it also says saomething similar, that 16.3% of adults have wealth in USD of 100k to 1m.
Did I get something wrong?
solo@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•World's wealthiest 10% have contributed to two-thirds of global warming since 1990, study finds0·2 months agoThe calculations in the site you linked is more of a creative accounting approach for feel good purposes. Nothing serious there imo.
The way I see things no nuclear facility should ever be bombed. Never.
