Mining giant @AngloAmerican stake $3bn proj. on not affecting glaciers, essential for Santiago’s water supply.

Problem I found is, the Swiss pollution value they used doesn’t apply to glaciers.

And they already published the data....

¿En 20 años más, cómo será vista la aprobación del proyecto minero #LosBroncesIntegrado de @angloamericancl que busca instalar chimeneas de ventilación al lado de nuestros últimos glaciares?

Vuelva a la ciencia @Maisa_Rojas . No al Comité de Ministros y Los Bronces Integrado.

This footage will seem so utterly bizarre - and angering - to our children's children.

On the 50th anniversary of Chile´s coup d'état, @RadioDuna plays In Our Dreams by Teenage Fan Club as a significant swathe of wealthy Chileans still fail to outright reject the bloody dictatorship often in light of the economic gains it brought.

🔥 Our government put everything we love at risk for higher profits.

💀 Just Stop Oil resist the death and destruction that fossil fuels cause.

@joshua_pieters Hey fun kind of irony to this. But some slapdash stock footage of babies, oil cans and Nelson Mandela or the like won´t solve the greatest crisis known to mankind as your rightly call it. Think you´ve got caught with your posh pants down.

[Matt Maynard @MattNMaynard]

I support this non violent disruptive action for a livable planet; not for the global West, but the massively more vulnerable people we share it with who have done nothing to cause climate change and who never benefited from development associated with our historical emissions.

🚨 BREAKING: JUST STOP OIL SUPPORTERS DEFY PUBLIC ORDER ACT AGAIN

🦺 24 marched onto Tower Bridge, including some who were arrested and held overnight – for protesting at Parliament Square.

🚷 We will continue until this government stops issuing new oil and gas licenses.

[Matt Maynard @MattNMaynard]

@JoRigby_Balham Because the atmosphere is a public good.

[Matt Maynard @MattNMaynard]

Estimada @Maisa_Rojas

Nos engaño con su bata de científica cuando entró a su oficio.

Nos defraudó regalando nuestros glaciares y recursos hídricos a @AngloAmericanCL.

Esperamos que su nueva ley ambiental de delitos de cuello y corbata se aplique a todos.

[Maisa @Maisa_Rojas]

#QueSeSepa esta buena noticia 😃
¡Aprobada ley de delitos económicos y atentados contra el medioambiente!

Good morning . Meet Kush , he is a 32 year old NHS doctor and last week he was arrested for wearing a t shirt . That is where we are at . His t shirt said @JustStop_Oil . What will yours say when you are arrested . . . because if you seriously think this will stop at environment protests you are wrong . Please donate here https://t.co/xom06f2nLc

🦺 George was arrested at Parliament Square this morning for exercising his democratic right to protest. For peacefully marching down a road. Outside our country’s seat of power.

A billionaire telling us that it's "economically illiterate " to demand a liveable future is the perfect example of why were are facing climate disaster.

🚨 BREAKING: ARRESTS AT PARLIAMENT SQUARE AS MET CRACK DOWN ON PEACEFUL PROTEST

🦺 Yesterday, a blanket Section 12 notice was placed on the entirety of London’s roads, banning Just Stop Oil supporters from peaceful processions on any road in London. No paperwork has been provided. This is the reality of #ToryBritain in 2023.

Question from a non gun owning Brit:

Why do US mass shootings normally end with police killing the suspect rather than a vigilante member of the widely armed civilian community at large?

[Fundación Glaciares Chilenos @glaciares_ong]

(1/4) Con la aprobación unánime de #LosBroncesIntegrado de forma unánime por el #ComitéDeMinistros, se pone fin a la ilusión de que este sería el primer #GobiernoEcológico de Chile. Les compartimos el comunicado realizado por @FPlantae y @TerramChile ⚠️

Concreto equivale en volumen a 127 Costanera Centres llenará el hoyo de @AngloAmericanCL abajo el Santuario de la Naturaleza de @yerbaloca_

¿Usted tomó el tiempo para revisar su fase de cierre cuando aprobó #LosBroncesIntegrado?
Atte.

Est. @Maisa_Rojas

Cuesta entender su jugada con @AngloAmericanCL:

Haber rechazado #LosBroncesIntegrado, igual lo hubieran aprobado por mayoría.

Si, le podrían haber despedido como ministra.

Pero ahora ha perdido su credibilidad como ministra Y científica.

🤔

Atte.

Est. @Maisa_Rojas

Mitad del pueblo Chileno se abastece del agua de los glaciares colindantes a donde permitió las chimeneas nuevas de #LosBroncesIntegrado de @AngloAmericanCL.

Son los afluentes del Maipo y el Mapócho.

¿Fue una decisión científica por su parte?

Atte.

[ONG Chile Sustentable 🌎 @ONG_CHS]

🔴La Aprobación del Proyecto #LosBronces es una tremenda presión sobre el recurso hídrico de la cuenca del río Mapocho, además del material particulado de este desprendimiento minero. Es un retrocedo en el tipo de medidas compensatorias para este tipo de proyecto.
