Strong criticism after Brazil opens up for oil exploration outside the Amazon
Shortly before the climate summit in Brazil, the country has granted permission for oil exploration outside the Amazon's mouth. Environmental organizations are reacting strongly.
Production started from Bacalhau, Equinor’s largest international field

Oil from Bacalhau would emit millions of tons CO2
The Bacalhau oil field in Brazil is estimated to hold 2 billion barrels of oil, which are located 2000 metres below sea level. It is also stretched along the Brazilian coast and covers 800 kilometres of pre-salt areas. This not only makes it extremely demanding and expensive to extract the oil, it is also very harmful. Burning 2 billion barrels of oil would lead to high emissions, possibly upwards of 800 million tons of CO2, which is nearly double the annual Brazilian emissions.
Bacalhau harms local fishing industry
One of the biggest risks of continuing to explore the Bacalhau oil field is to harm the local population in the region, which subsequently is among the poorest in the country. They are dependent on tourism and fishing which are threatened by Equinor’s Bacalhau project. Possible oil spills, changes in the ecosystem while in development, and other risks to the environment would harm the livelihood of the local population in many years to come.
Risk of losing tens of species
Bacalhau is surrounded by a fragile ecosystem in an area which is regarded as a hotspot for biodiversity. In other words, there are huge risks of losing some of the most unique and valuable species in the ocean. According to the Environmental Impact Study (EIA) and the Environmental Impact Report (RIMA), there are 18 species of birds, 6 species of whales and dolphins, 4 species of sea turtles, and 25 fish species in Bacalhau that are threatened with extinction.
Facts – Equinor in Brazil
Equinor has been present in Brazil for more than two decades
Brazil is a core area for the company’s long-term growth
In addition to Bacalhau, Equinor is operator for the Raia development, another major ultra deepwater field development, expected to come on stream in 2028.
Equinor is also expanding its investments in renewable energy, with onshore assets already in operation and more projects under development through its subsidiary Rio Energy
Absolutely nuts for Norwegian media to report on Brazil's 'hypocrisy' without mentioning Equinor SPINNING UP THE LARGEST FIELD IN BRAZIL SINCE 2000 - literally days after Equinor celebrated its production start
Another day in the petrostate!!!!! COP30's going to be cool

Pause for just five seconds... If you can't donate, here's another option:
1. Share the post and just add a small dot... but it might make a bigger difference than silence.
As for passing by in silence, maybe you should reconsider your humanity.
Please donate.

"The Right in 2025 Sounds a Lot Like the Nazis in 1925"
Today’s far right may know it’s wrong to talk about a “superior race,” so it just frames it as a “superior culture” instead:

Og når dere hører KrF snakke om abort. Når dere ser at KrF vil fjerne den rettigheten.
Husk at KrF var norske milliardærers plan for å få borgerlig flertall. De var villige til å ofre rettighetene til alle norske kvinner for å få slippe formuesskatten. De sponset det.

The East Wing was a section of the White House that served as office space for the first lady and her staff, including the White House social secretary, correspondence staff, and the White House Graphics and Calligraphy Office. It was built in 1902, then renovated and expanded in 1942. In 2025, much of the East Wing was demolished as part of a planned rebuild to accommodate the White House

The longer these thugs sit in the white house, the more bold they are gonna get. Next year it's going to get worse. And the year after that, even worse. My biggest fear is that Americans and the rest of the world becomes desensitised to the orange goblin's craziness.

This is Ukraine...
When Ukrainian defenders found his body, the last message was not from him, but from his cat.
For three months, drone cameras flying over the front lines quietly captured their friendship: a soldier hiding in the rubble sharing the food with a stray cat. Amid the gunfire and silence, they were seen together: the man keeping the cat warm in his jacket, the cat lying on his chest. Paramedics found the body of this Ukrainian defender. Inside his jacket, they found a message: "I know they are coming. I will fight for my friend, I will do everything I can to keep him safe. If you can, please leave my jacket here: winter is coming, and the cat will come to warm up. If you can catch him, his favorite food is blue canned food."
The defenders who found him kept their promise — this cat now lives safely among them. A living testimony of a kind soldier who cared for the weaker souls more than his own life.
"This is the pinnacle of humanity: even if you face death, you remain human."
This is Ukraine..

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons
