En la isla de Bormeo, en Indonesia, una madre orangután y su pequeño hijo deambulan por tierra arrasada buscando algo de comer, después de que su hábitat natural haya sido destruido para plantar aceite de palma.
Esta imagen apocalíptica define a donde nos lleva el capitalismo, hay que escoger entre la destrucción del mundo para que unos pocos se llenen los bolsillos o salvar al planeta tomando los medios de producción para acabar con esta barbarie.
@DamonZumbroegel A lot of whataboutism in the comments. These people will defend anything the government do, and this is why the they control everything.
There are hundreds of popular account on X whose posts can't be seen in India since they have been critical about what the government did.
@RandomMusings6@BelisariusOnX@MarioNawfal It's not a charity company. Also they don't make much money from selling phones, a large share of the money they make go to R&D, software development, and other things.
If they sell a US assembled phone for $1500 they won't make much profit.
@BelisariusOnX@MarioNawfal Sure, if you're willing to buy a phone for $3000.
Simply assembling the phone in the US will increase the price to $2000 for the top model.
If they build the entire supply chain in the US then it will shoot upto $3500 per phone.
@xo_laurakay High income disparity maybe. In most parts of the world the wealthy have become significantly more wealthy during the pandemic due to stock price surge. So that's like millions of people who can afford expensive vacations.
@magattew@SamBlonde In the end it's the people what matters. If you have a population that is not willing to change or accept new ideas but instead focus more on religion, politics, culture and hate other people rather than education and development then nothing can help that country.
Millions of years ago, the Sahara Desert was not a barren ocean of sand but a vastly different world of rivers, wetlands, and enormous lakes teeming with life. Regions that are now among the driest places on Earth once supported crocodiles, giant fish, hippos, elephants, dense vegetation, and countless microscopic organisms. One ancient body of water, often called Lake Mega-Chad, was once one of the largest lakes on the planet.
Over immense stretches of time, algae, plankton-like organisms, shells, fish remains, plants, and other life settled into the lake beds and wetlands. As climates slowly shifted, the region dried, the lakes disappeared, and those ancient ecosystems became buried within layers of sediment rich in phosphorus, iron, and other nutrients.
Today, powerful winds lift millions of tons of this dust from the Sahara and carry it across the Atlantic Ocean in massive plumes visible from space. The journey can span more than 5,000 kilometers before the dust finally falls over the Amazon rainforest.
What makes this extraordinary is that the Amazon depends on it. Heavy rainfall constantly washes nutrients from the rainforest’s soil, especially phosphorus, a critical element for plant growth. Sahara dust helps replenish some of what is lost, acting like a natural fertilizer for one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
On its journey the dust also feeds the ocean itself. Iron and other minerals carried from Africa nourish microscopic marine organisms called phytoplankton, tiny drifting lifeforms that form the foundation of many marine food chains and help produce much of the oxygen we breathe.
In a profound way, parts of the modern Earth are still being nourished by worlds that vanished millions of years ago. The remains of ancient organisms, mixed with rock and dried lake sediments, continue to cycle through the atmosphere, across oceans, and into forests thousands of miles away.
Long before humans existed, ancient ecosystems were already shaping the future of life on Earth. Even today, the living world still depends in part on the dust of vanished lakes and the remains of long-dead life carried on the wind.
@escapefrommelos It appears to be Science Girl's viral post got copied over and over expecting the same results!
I couldn't find an earlier post with same words.
@echocx_@giveashitnature Efficiency decreases annually but you will have 90% after 25 years if panels are of good quality. A panel can last 40+ years if critical components don't suffer wear and tear due to constant exposure to UV, heat and other environmental stress.
Cuando te sientas estupido, recuerda que María Corina Machado le regaló su Premio Nobel de la Paz al tipo que hoy amenaza con destruir con bombas nucleares una civilización entera…
@TheLaurenChen You skipped the whole school years where you can't travel much together for most part of the year. Also raising kids are expensive, so even if you want travel and eat out a lot you wouldn't be able to do so.
@1MichaelaGraham@sciencegirl@Rainmaker1973 Look he posts 300+ a day like a bot. When she posts something from her timeline the likelihood of him posting it before is high. Why should she go through his hundreds or thousands of posts to make sure she's not mirroring what he posted?
@visitor_888 @TheSickGimp@stats_feed When you're educated you prioritise the well being of your kids and yourself.
If a person doesn't have enough disposable income then having a kid will put huge pressure on them. Also having a kid means you need a bigger home, so the rental cost will be much higher.
@GlennLuk Not everything has to be profit oriented. They can showcase this to the world and will be hugely beneficial for people living in that region.
