😄 In Italy, one of the hobbies among older men is being an “umarell”
These are retired men who like to stand around construction sites, watching the work and offering unsolicited advice.
Can someone please explain, in very simple language, how growing almonds in a Californian desert, draining the local aquifer until the ground subsides, spraying the entire crop with fungicides because almonds can't survive without them, killing off the commercial bee population in the process, then refrigerating the harvest and shipping it six thousand miles to Britain is environmentally friendly,
but buying a piece of beef from a farmer twelve miles down the road, whose cattle eat the grass that grows in the rain that falls on the hills that have been there since before anyone had opinions about this,
is a planetary emergency?
Asking for the cow.

Thank you dear user, thank you for this amazing insight of what Baltics have been saying since 1991 that you cant trust ruzzia. They treating us like we are some random countries that don't know of what capable are the neighbours. "I don't think that NATO will do anything, because you are small" well gee, thanks our good friendly users for repeating ruzzian narratives 😊 And the damn Westoids dare to teach us about ruzzia???? Are you out of your damn minds? We were the ones teaching YOU about ruzzia while your balls were not even formed. Fuck off.
A Belarusian blogger used AI to fake a scene of people with white-red-white flags in central Minsk—and sent it to police.
Within minutes, three armed police vehicles rushed to the location. Of course, no one was there. Officers kept searching imaginary dissent.
200 helium containers are stranded in the Persian Gulf right now. Each one holds 41,000 liters cooled to -269°C. The containers have no refrigeration. No compressor, no cooling loop. Insulation is all that stands between the cargo and ambient heat, and it buys 35 to 48 days. After that, the liquid boils, the pressure valve opens, and the helium vents to atmosphere. Re-liquefying it requires a specialized plant. Most ports do not have one. Qatar's North Field supplied 33% of the world's helium as a byproduct of cryogenic separation at its LNG plants. On March 2, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Spot prices surged 70 to 100 percent. EUV lithography requires 99.9999% purity helium for wafer cooling and no current substitute exists. The fifth helium shortage since 2006 has just begun.
Starptautiskā Enerģētikas Aģentūra norāda, ka Tuvo Austrumu karš (pārskatā minēts konflikts") ir lielākā degvielas krīze Pasaulē, kas piedzīvota. Aģentūra izlaidusi degvielu taupības vadlīnijas. Faktiski, netieši norādot, ka nav gaidāms ātrs atrisinājums https://t.co/w6hqScBn4m
ASV ir noņēmusi sankcijas krievijas jēlnaftai līdz 11.aprīlim, ar pamatojumu, lai stabilizētu naftas tirgu.
Iespējamais jēlnaftas apjoms var sastādīt ap 100 miljpnoem barelu, kas varētu dot pat līdz 8 miljardiem $ peļņu agresoram.
The Norwegian town of Rjukan is not a place to live if you suffer from Seasonally Adjusted Disorder (SAD). It receives no direct sunlight between September and March, thanks to the mountain Gaustatoppen, which blocks it. But the Norwegians came up with a genius solution.

Today, 82 years ago, the Soviet Union bombed Narva, Estonia.
Nearly 200 aircraft dropped around 4,000 bombs in 11 hours, destroying one of Europe’s best-preserved Baroque old towns. Only three historic buildings remained standing.
A cow eats 25kg of grass per day.
That grass has already pulled CO2 from the atmosphere yesterday.
The cow burps some methane (made from that yesterday-CO2).
12 years later, that methane breaks down into... CO2.
Which grass absorbs tomorrow.
It's a closed loop. A circle. No new carbon enters the system.
Compare to your car: Burning carbon that was buried for 300 million years, releasing NEW carbon into atmosphere, creating actual accumulation.
One is a cycle. One is extraction.
But the cow gets blamed for climate change while you drive to the protest.
