The evidence against the Drax power station is damning, yet the government wants to continue its massive public funding, says campaigner Dale Vince

How green is this? We pay billions of pounds to cut down ancient forests in the US and Canada, ship the wood across the Atlantic in diesel tankers, then burn it in a Yorkshire-based power station.

Welcome to the scandal of Drax, where Britain’s biggest polluter gets to play climate hero. [...]

The fossil fuel industry and right-wing populists are increasingly key targeting policy-makers with climate misinformation, according to a new report

Based on a review of over 300 scientific papers, the study from the International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) found that the dissemination of false and misleading information has shifted from denying the existence of climate change to sowing doubt over its causes and solutions.

As an example, the report cited a study based on 725 corporate sustainability reports that found substantial divergence between what companies say and what they do, including exaggerated claims about their positive impact on the environment.

More women are connecting environmental degradation with attacks on women's rights, seeing both as rooted in similar values. They’re drawing on personal experiences and reams of research to make their case.

Archived link of the article

It would be nearly impossible to plant enough trees to compensate for the climate impact of burning through the world’s fossil fuel reserves. Offsetting the estimated 182 billion tonnes of carbon held in the reserves of the world’s largest fossil fuel companies would require covering more land with trees than the entirety of North and Central America.

“There simply isn’t enough land available for the level of afforestation that would be needed to offset fossil fuel-related emissions,”

The study: Carbon offsetting of fossil fuel emissions through afforestation is limited by financial viability and spatial requirements

The Chiang Mai protest was more than resistance. It was a rehearsal of possibility. One where decisions emerge not from the air-conditioned rooms of distant ministries but shared deliberation among communities refusing to be silenced.

A young climate and human rights defender from the Democratic Republic of Congo discusses how a growing coalition is working to prevent the detonation of a massive carbon bomb and the plunder of communities – and how you can help.

the Notre Terre Sans Pétrole (Our Land Without Oil) coalition is calling for an immediate halt to the process of putting the 52 oil blocks up for sale, the cancellation of the three oil and gas blocks already awarded, and a complete moratorium on oil and gas exploration and production in the DRC.

Statement to the United Nations Security Council on the Situation in Iran by IAEA Director General, Rafael Mariano Grossi.

The level of radioactivity outside the Natanz site has remained unchanged and at normal levels indicating no external radiological impact to the population or the environment from this event.

However, due to the impacts, there is radiological and chemical contamination inside the facilities in Natanz. The type of radiation present inside the facility, primarily alpha particles, is manageable with appropriate radiation protection measures.

At present, the Iranian authorities are informing us of attacks on the other facilities, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant; and Esfahan site,

All these developments are deeply concerning. I have repeatedly stated that nuclear facilities must never be attacked, regardless of the context or circumstances, as it could harm both people and the environment. Such attacks have serious implications for nuclear safety, security and safeguards, as well as regional and international peace and security.

“any armed attack on and threat against nuclear facilities devoted to peaceful purposes constitutes a violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter, international law and the Statute of the Agency”.

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

I'm afraid this is not only for the UK

In Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK, authorities have responded to climate protests with mass arrests, the passing of draconian new laws, the imposing of severe sentences for non-violent protests and the labelling of activists as hooligans, saboteurs or eco-terrorists. the Guardian, Oct 2023

Yeah, I see what you mean and on top of that you would need to pay for it.

That's why I added in the description a link with instructions on the free tool designed by Amnesty International's Security Lab.

I don't think that's really the point. The point is that Israel is killing civilians including children, not soldiers.

Ban Apartheid Israel from Sports

Palestinian players and athletes are routinely attacked, imprisoned and killed. Athletes are denied freedom of movement to attend their own matches, competitions and trainings. Palestinian stadiums and sports infrastructures have been bombed and destroyed. Israel even prevents sports equipment from being imported and sports facilities from being developed.

Racism against Palestinians is institutionalized in Israeli sports – from segregated youth football leagues to anti-Palestinian hate from fan clubs that goes routinely unpunished.

In addition, Israeli football and basketball clubs based in illegal settlements are allowed to compete in official Israeli leagues, making international governing bodies FIFA and FIBA complicit in Israel’s violations of international law.

Despite all this, Western dominated sports bodies have looked the other way, refusing to take action. More than 300 Palestinian sports clubs and dozens of civil society organizations are calling to #BanIsrael from the Olympics. Join us as we seek to ban Israel from international sports forums, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and FIFA, until it ends its grave crimes against Palestinians and its attacks on Palestinian sports.

You're totally right, legality should not be a concern in cases like that.

What I liked in this article is that it gives examples of actions on several levels, and I think this is important because a tone of things need to be done to effectively fight fascism in societies.

A two front war is never a good idea

Not too sure tho, how bombing and starving civilians including children on a strip of land for 8-9 months qualifies as war, now that I think about it.

What is a pogrom? Israeli mob attack has put a century-old word in the spotlight - The Conversation - March 6, 2023

From Russia to Israel

effectively puts Israel in the place of the Jews’ historic persecutors. This is a highly uncomfortable position for many Jewish people, particularly in Israel.

In today’s Israel, minority rights have been suppressed as well, particularly in the West Bank. Palestinians in the West Bank, unlike the Jewish settlers next to them, face violence and discrimination in nearly every aspect of their lives. In other words, Israeli Jews and Palestinians are today not equal partners in an ethnic rivalry.

historical records show far more rioters were arrested and punished by Russia in 1881 than in Huwara this week, where only eight of the 400 Jewish offenders were arrested, only to be quickly released.

I'm not sure I understand how these warrants can take place. It will come from other member states in case any of them travel there?

Also how is it that Putin has not been arrested yet? Has he avoided those destinations.

If I misunderstood something or everything, please let me know.
