it's a spooky world out there

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Anyone who knows the International Committee of the Red Cross knows that their official policy is to never speak out (https://t.co/pGX2wTwQKs)

Which is why such a statement by the ICRC president is so exceptional, and why you should listen.

Here's what she says:

"The things I saw [in the European Gaza hospital] is beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to described.

What shocked me the most were the children, with atrocious injuries and at the same time having lost their parents with no-one looking after them.

We are facing a situation here that will not be healed by sending in more trucks. We need to provide protection to the civilians in Gaza, to the women and children, to the elderly people that I saw today that have nowhere to go...

We have to find solutions to this. We can't turn away from what is evidently a moral failure in the face of the international community."

FossilfuelTreaty - La #Colombia oggi a #COP28 si è unita ai Paesi che chiedono un Trattato Internazionale di Non-Proliferazione delle fossili. È il più grande Paese produttore di petrolio a farlo.

In case you missed it, our Coordinator, @ZakiMamdoo confronted @TotalEnergies' CEO about the unjust arrest of seven students in Uganda. Following this, he confirmed they would issue a statement today calling for their release. #StopEACOP!

[il manifesto @ilmanifesto]

Elezione diretta della guida del governo e intorno istituzioni svuotate. La riforma costituzionale presentata ieri da Meloni stravolge gli equilibri e concentra i poteri. Per lei è «una rivoluzione che ci porta nella terza Repubblica». Quella del capo (o della capa)

[Ultima Generazione | Il Giusto Prezzo @UltimaGenerazi1]

Solidarietà alle comunità colpite dalle alluvioni in Toscana e nel resto dell'Italia.

Continueremo a fare tutto quello che è in nostro potere - anche se saremo arrestati - per ottenere un fondo riparazione: è urgente e necessario.

Financial losses from fossil fuel companies being stranded in a post carbon world would largely fall on the rich, as they own the most shares.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is horrific.

I renew my appeals for a humanitarian ceasefire and the immediate release of all hostages.

All those with influence must exert it to ensure respect for the rules of war, end the suffering and avoid a spillover of the conflict.

We are with local residents and environmental groups, blocking access to Farnborough Airport to protest against the proposed expansion, doubling the private jet flights to 70,000 annually, 40% of which fly empty.

The BBC confirms that Israeli forces have bombed "safety" zones in south Gaza where they told Palestinians to evacuate to. Not once or twice. Repeatedly.

James Hansen sounded the climate alarm in 1988. His new paper says total climate breakdown is here; calls out politicians, timid climate scientists and "big environmental organizations, now part of the problem"; and calls on US youths to rise

"Actions needed to drive carbon intensity to zero—most important a rising carbon fee—are feasible, but not happening. [...] Politicians from right (conservative) and left (progressive) parties are affected by fossil fuel interests. The right denies that fossil fuels cause climate change or says that the effect is exaggerated. The left takes up the climate cause but proposes actions with only modest effect, such as cap-and-trade with offsets, including giveaways to the fossil fuel industry. [...] Opportunities for progress often occur in conjunction with crises. Today, the world faces a crisis—political polarization, especially in the United States—that threatens effective governance. Yet the crisis offers an opportunity for young people to help shape the future of the nation and the planet. Ideals professed by the United States at the end of World War II were consummated in formation of the United Nations, the World Bank, the Marshall Plan, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. [...] But the power of special interests in Washington grew, government became insular and inefficient, and Congress refused to police itself. Their first priority became reelection and maintenance of elite status, supported by special interests. Thousands of pages of giveaways to special interests lard every funding bill, including the climate bill titled ‘Inflation Reduction Act’—Orwellian double-speak—as the funding is borrowed from young people via deficit spending. The public is fed up with the Washington swamp but hamstrung by rigid two-party elections focused on a polarized cultural war. A political party that takes no money from special interests is essential to address political polarization, which is necessary if the West is to be capable of helping preserve the planet and a bright future for coming generations. Young people showed their ability to drive an election—via their support of Barack Obama in 2008 and Bernie Sanders in 2016—without any funding from special interests. Groundwork is being laid to allow third party candidates in 2026 and 2028 elections in the U.S. Ranked voting is being advocated in every state to avoid the ‘spoiler’ effect of a third party. It is asking a lot to expect young people to grasp the situation that they have been handed—but a lot is at stake. As they realize that they are being handed a planet in decline, the first reaction may be to stamp their feet and demand that governments do better, but that has little effect. Nor is it sufficient to parrot big environmental organizations, which are now part of the problem, as they are partly supported by the fossil fuel industry and wealthy donors who are comfortable with the status quo. Instead, young people have the opportunity to provide the drive for a revolutionary third party that restores democratic ideals while developing the technical knowledge that is needed to navigate the stormy sea that their world is setting out upon"

This is what happens when you produce information that contradicts the ideology of hope and reformism of the mainstream science space.
