I thought of adding a couple of links that clarify El Niño and La Niña

• What are El Niño and La Niña? - NOAA

• El Niño and La Niña Years and Intensities - Based on Oceanic Niño Index (ONI)

For non-functional parts, there is also the option of making jewelry, lamp shades or art in general. This can be a great way to improve soldering skills as well!

the author is suggesting that there are two different policies

The author describes the israeli apartheid in a deceitful way, which is very different to what you say. This is not an article that wants to draw attention to the Uyghur. It just tries to deflect the conversation from the Palestinian Genocide to something else.

Please see an article by Amnesty International from 2022, meaning before the current Genocide: Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians: a cruel system of domination and a crime against humanity

A few more of the plenty deceitful aspects in this article are bellow:

The United States has tried to pressure China’s leadership to end the Uyghurs’ mistreatment—for instance, by barring companies from importing products that originate in Xinjiang into the U.S.

Talking about these imports is one thing. Why not also talk about the US arm exports that kills Palestinian civilians? Regardless of the Leahy Law.

Israel was formed by Jews

No, it was created by Zionists, not Jews. These two words are not interchangeable. There are many Jews who oppose Zionism (please see Jewish Voice for Peace)

Israel, from this viewpoint, is an outgrowth of European colonialism; it represses and displaces a local people,

There is a word for these people: Palestinians.

Also, represses and displaces a local people? If past tense was used, this sentence would have some merit. Since it uses present tense, I can only say: this is not how I would describe a Genocide.

Sorry but whataboutism has its limits.

Also, from the posted article:

The Israelis keep the Palestinians something of a people apart

Is this how we describe apartheid now?

Maybe I should have mentioned that geothermal is a great sustainable and renewable source of energy (wiki)

Also, I’m a bit confused with the source you linked because it is about geoengineering which I believe is a terrible approach (see links bellow) but this site kinda presents geothermal as part of it. Geothermal energy production is not related to geoengineering/climate engineering, in any way.

• Center for International Environmental law | Why Geoengineering is a False Solution to the Climate Crisis

I have an issue with this youtuber due to a transphobic video they posted some time ago, so personally, I don’t watch this channel’s videos anymore.

Due to your comment, I could assume you are involved in more direct actions. If that’s the case, more power to you!

Still let’s keep our eyes on the target. And the target is not the people you try to make fun of.

I find this article to be to the point. Copy pasting a part of it.

Yet even as fires, floods, and heat waves become noticeably worse, Democrats and Republicans are further apart on the science of human-caused global warming than almost any other issue. Some observers have noted that the resistance to accepting climate science might not be about the science at all, but what attempts to fix the problem might entail. An experiment in 2014 found that Republicans who read a speech about the United States using environmentally friendly technologies to fuel the economy, versus a speech about enacting stringent environmental regulations and pollution taxes, were twice as likely as other Republicans to agree with mainstream climate science. In other words, it might be easier to just ignore a problem if you don’t like the proposed solution.

“When you make this shift from having an opinion to understanding the concern that underlies the opinion, it’s really a different kind of conversation,” Barish said.

The approach is reminiscent of “deep canvassing,” an outreach method developed by LGBTQ+ advocates that involves listening to people’s worries without judgment and helping them work through their conflicted feelings. Personal conversations like these have been shown to change people’s minds, with lasting effects.

I agree with what you say. Also about the headline, it was the one that was suggested from the “Generate title” thingy - so I just changed it to what is on the actual article.

Just finished it and I really enjoyed their analysis. I’ll definitely check out more videos of this channel.

Up until recently, I kinda thought something like what the IEA report on The Oil and Gas Industry in Net Zero Transitions said:

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage is an essential technology for achieving net zero emissions in certain sectors and circumstances, but it is not a way to retain the status quo.

Lately, I tend to believe that the latter part of this sentence is what’s actually happening. That these topics of capture, removal and storage are promoted by Big Oil & Gas, to deflect the topic from the need of fossil fuels to stay in the ground, so that they keep doing business as usual.

Edit: Thought of adding a relevant article from last year.

Carbon capture: The oil lobby’s Trojan horse at COP28

In a way my initial reaction reading the title was very similar: we know this stuff already. Then I thought of taking a look at the article and realised there were several stuff mentioned I was not aware about, apart from this new memo I mean. I also liked the pictures from the archives and the links to the documents as reference to hat they say, so I thought it was totally worth sharing after all.

Apart from that for me revisiting a topics through the lens of another author/person sometimes helps me find actual answers or perhaps reframe the question: What can we do?

Relevant article that talks about Cop29 in relation to previous ones: What should we expect at COP29?

Last year at COP28 in Dubai, countries agreed to “transition away” from fossil fuels for the first time ever.

But the ‘UAE Consensus’ was less a consensus and more of a watered-down pledge, leaving many advocates disappointed as no promises were made to fully phase out oil, gas and coal.

This outcome was likely shaped by the presence of thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists at the event, which was itself hosted by a petrostate and led by the CEO of a state-owned oil company who openly dismissed the need for a fossil fuel phaseout.

This is why we won’t ever fix it.

I think I see what you mean, I must admit I don’t really agree with this statement.

I think we (meaning people) can actually fix this by applying pressure to governments to implement the necessary measures/taxes/etc to the polluting corporations all over the world. This pressure can have many forms - protest, boycott, etc. Also, it should be intersectional since climate justice without social justice doesn’t really mean anything - it’s just an empty vessel with greenwashing tendencies. At least the way I see things.

Unfortunately, these are just articles that claim stuff, they do not include any actual and/or current researches. This is why they use terms like “trusted source”, or urge the reader to worry about something, instead of providing evidence and let the reader decide how to feel about these findings.

Also, they come from the mouthpieces that Zionist propaganda uses. Remember the debunked beheaded babies claims, or the weaponization of sexual violence claims, or the human shield claims - to name just a few that were covered by these media.

Still, thank you for taking the time.

Could you please share a link supporting your claim that doesn’t come from a zionist propaganda machine?

This NYT article unfortunately fails to mention the thousands of oil lobbyists attending COP29.

COP29: What you need to know about the global climate summit - Amnesty International:

Like previous climate summits, COP29 will host many participants whose agendas are seriously at odds with climate justice. Thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists, along with the heads of oil giants like Shell and BP, are expected to be in attendance. These participants have used previous summits to advance their own interests, opposing essential efforts to phase out fossil fuels and pushing for false solutions like carbon offsetting. Amnesty International is calling for a robust conflict of interest policy to prevent fossil fuel lobbyists undermining the aims of global climate treaties.

Canada’s mining tradition is closely related to colonialism.

Check out the Canadian encyclopedia, Mining :

Pre-contact Aboriginal use and trade of Canada’s rich mineral resources included copper, gold, silver and chert. European exploration and colonization of northern North America was partially motivated by the search for valuable minerals. In 1577–8, Martin Frobisher established a mining operation at Baffin Island (…)

Edit: Just found a super long list of Canadian Mining Assets (CMAs), from all over the world excluding Canada, by Country and Region. This list is from 2021 and 2022 by the Canadian government. They’re everywhere like, scary stuff.
