YouTube video by Al Jazeera English Vanished in Gaza: Families wait endlessly for loved ones who left for food

"...heart-wrenching stories... where a father searches for his missing son & a wife waits for her husband who disappeared while seeking flour.

Human rights monitors have documented harrowing accounts of ...missing only to be found killed by Israeli forces..."

"What if we just banned empathy? That should shut them up."

I am a father in Gaza, and my children and I are starving.
Our home is empty, and every day feels like a slow death.
Please, help us before it’s too late.

Fuck the NYT

IEA: Renewables will be world’s top power source ‘by 2026’ - Carbon Brief Renewable energy will overtake coal to become the world’s top source of electricity “by 2026 at the latest”, according to new IEA forecasts.

"Renewable energy will overtake coal to become the world’s top source of electricity 'by 2026 at the latest', according to new forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA)."

😱

Indeed.

I'm all for participatory democracy. Citizens assemblies are what might save us from fascism

Are you Swiss? 😸

When Swiss people rejected the referèndum in 2021, talking to my Swiss friend, I came to the conclusion that the Swiss people voted according to the wording that was put in front of them. The govt talked about costs and rising bills (to take climate action). But not the costs of not taking action..

Policies & action

I was specifically referring to the referèndum in 2021 which the people rejected. I talked about it w my Swiss friend. It's mentioned here:
climateactiontracker.org/countries/sw...

Human rights violated by Swiss inaction on climate, ECHR rules in landmark case Court finds in favour of group of older Swiss women who claimed weak policies put them at greater risk of death from heatwaves

As usual, the people are ahead of the government:

The Labour Party is dead. And out of its ashes hopefully rises Your Party.

Switzerland also manipulates its citizens (via cynical 'referenda') into not taking action on climate.

But there is something wrong w being a billionaire. It's related to why most people are struggling. Join the dots.

Monarch butterflies’ mass die-off in 2024 caused by pesticide exposure – study New peer-reviewed research found an average of seven pesticides in each of 10 butterflies tested

Seven pesticides in a single monarch. Pyrethroids, PFAS, runoff cocktails. If this is what we find in the most-monitored butterfly on Earth, imagine what’s happening to the insects no one tracks or names. This isn’t decline. It’s erasure.

"Alleged"....

This is really scary shit

Farah and Muhanad were just starting their lives together when Israeli forces destroyed their new apartment (for which they're still obligated to pay) and both lost their jobs. They need help to rebuild their lives.

Gaza destroyed. The view that Israel doesn't want the world to see. Please share.

🦜Animal loss is stalling tropical forest recovery

A new study shows that when seed-dispersing animals decline, tropical forests regrow slower, cutting carbon gains by over 50%.

Biodiversity loss is a climate issue.

As Gaza suffers, US companies are reaping horrific payoffs | Katrina vanden Heuvel

"War profiteering is a phenomenon as ancient as war itself, but [a new report] shows that the military-industrial-technological complex is reaping uniquely horrible payoffs in Palestine," writes editor and publisher of The Nation Katrina vanden Heuvel.
