Why would you feel this way…most of us were born into this world not knowing anything about climate change…I only learned about it in 2007…Scientists have known about this problem, at least, since the 1950s…It has been shown, many times over, that the primary responsibility (of no longer burning fossil fuels) falls onto a handful (or so) of very large corporations…Of course, they want the every day person to feel guilty and have been pushing green-washing propaganda for decades onto all of us…propaganda works in their favor to deflect the blame off of themselves and onto you and I.
Right now, China and India must get on board quickly in order for the future populations to subvert the worst case scenarios.
The 1992 Earth Summit in Rio (where the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was created) was a landmark year for the news reporting that climate change is by far the most important issue humans are facing. Widely seen news has been reporting scientists’ warnings about the existential threat of our overpopulation and fossil fuel since then, and in the last 30 years the media has been reporting on it more and more every year.
falls onto a handful (or so) of very large corporations
Those companies are not burning the planet for the hell of it - they do it because billions of people choose to buy their biosphere destroying products and services.
While we should vote for Greens who’ll make laws where anyone using more than 2.1 tonnes of CO2e per person per year is jailed, instead of for people and parties who subsidize overpopulation and fossil fuel use - in the short term that usually doesn’t do anything unless a threshold is passed. Individual action (reducing our communities’ fertility rate by 2 orders of magnitude for several decades, not flying, not driving, not living in unsustainable places, …) while vanishingly small, does actually make a measurable difference.
The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year, accounted for 16% of all CO2 emissions in 2019
So while this obviously also includes billionaires, this group still mostly consists of wealthy upper-middle class. So in other words; people that can afford a house, two cars and few trips abroad per year generate more carbon emissions than the ones that can’t. Shocker.
We don’t know if those premature babies were Hamas sleeper agents. You know, Israel just out there with “no choice” but to kill those babies, bomb those hospitals and apartment blocks. Gotta have their war against…whoever.
I stand with the people who think things like what the radical right wing secular government of Israel is inflicting on innocents should never happen again. There’s another explanation of the phrase in that link, and it’s the same explanation used by anyone who is in support of human rights.
Do you know the original quote, in arab, and its literal translation? The original version states: palestine will be arab, not free. It’s a hate slogan, diluted so that dumb westerners will parrot it.
I made a good faith effort to research this claim you made but I couldn’t find anything other than a reddit post making the same claim. Where did you hear this? Also, how would it be relevant to anything I’ve linked or said?
I’m looking for a source and can’t find anything high quality enough for now. I thought this was common knowledge, since it’s being chanted during protests in arabic all around the world.
Then, I’m sorry for the harsh tone, not every one understands arabic.
I don’t understand any dialect of arabic. If you are a Palestinian arabic speaker, can you explain how Wikipedia’s direct translation of “from the water to the water” is misleading?
With 60-70 Hamas fighters confirmed dead. I am struggling to think of any military action in history whose victims were over 99% civilian. Even the powers they wrote the Geneva conventions over weren’t this ruthless in their pursuit of killing almost exclusively innocent people.
What your source for 60-70? All other sources I seen say much more
At least 1000 Hamas terrorist were killed inside of Israel (Those who infiltered at 7th of October) according to the same (Pro-Palestinian biased) source that the OP used
You’re right about the events of 10/7. 60-70 is from since the bombing campaign began. The fog of war keeps things hard to find so I couldn’t find a recording, but here is at least a news report.
Exactly. That’s the only mention of any Hamas fighters killed by the bombing campaign I’ve heard of in a month. Ibwould think the IDF would be more proactive announcing any success they’ve had which they can confirm. It’s just been explaining their suspicions after they bomb a hospital or refugee camp without confirming if their suspicions were correct in most cases.
He doesn’t give a shit about the hostages, he wants to expel Palestinians from north Gaza, if not all of it. He will bomb all the tunnels where they’re being held, then blame Hamas for “putting them in the way of the bombs”.
