And it’s 100% in accordance with international law.

That sounds about right.
Would be nice to be able to pick out individual source polluters for a range of substances
We can already do that today with inverse modeling of atmospheric substance transport and the satellites you mentioned. Heard a talk about the topic on a conference 4 years ago. That’s how scientists could pinpoint the emission source for some illegally emmitted CFCs in China (and afaik the Chinese govt acted accordingly). With high resolution data you can also use these methods to detect methane leaks in gas pipelines etc.
+1 for such an extensive, well-founded rant
Interesting read. The statements by SJP are really disgusting and the Maoist revolutionary rethoric is repulsive to say the least.

Payback is fair? Even though these very digital megacorporations are just now facing antitrust lawsuits for very good reasons? The only argument for having to use these platforms as a content creator is reach. But if Google, Amazon, Meta, etc. only got their market-dominating positions by illegal means, nothing is fair about wanting payback.
I am paying money to people creating content for me directly, even for some YouTube channels. If I were to abide by Google’s rules, I’d have to pay double. For the infrastructure & the people actually producing the content. Sorry… Why would I? I will not pity a monopolist because of their lost profits as long as I can circumvent it somehow.
He knows that he’ll lose power once that war ends. He will prolong it as long as he can. Of course he doesn’t care about the lifes of his own people, never did.
I also don’t understand how one can frame Israel as a colonial project. To add to your statement about the Mizrahi jews:
Yes, Israel doesn’t exist within the borders of 1967 that are often seen as a basis for a two state solution. There are definitely occupied areas. This does not however change the fact that the existence of Israel in the middle east is enshrined in international law and what exactly it’s future borders will be has been subject to debates for a long time. But what’s not debatable is the legality of Israel. Israel is not a foreign body in the region but it has an undeniable right to exist.
I feel like many statements about “colonialism” in this context do not consider international law at all. People not respecting the principles of the rule of law makes me very suspicious with regard to their intentions.
Yeah maybe the unions should be reminded of their duties too instead of spending time on issuing one-sided statements that are borderline cringe.
Wtf? Do they think there’s some romantic revolutionary energy they need to be spreading on a topic that consists of nothing but useless violence and suffering for so many civilians in the middle east?
Also who in the world do they think cares about embarrassing statements and lip service about solidarity from some freshman students from York? This really has nothing to with critical thinking skills. In fact it’s rather proof of the opposite of that concept.
We have all kinds in my city: Medieval cobblestone, brick roads and asphalt. As a cyclist I have to tell you that I hate all kinds of brick roads that I have encountered. Even when they’re not the horrible middle age version, they will often get deformed by roots or depression of the ground quite rapidly, making them even more bumpy. For this reason I think, I saw in Sweden in an otherwise bricky city center that they had a narrow asphalt lane on the side of the road for cyclists. I was just amazed that someone would spend that much thought into what’s great for cyclists. As a cyclist I really love asphalt :D
Saruman can brew it.
Didn’t they use these tactics with more success in the beginning? Why did they fall back to this model?
Thank you for the explanations!
Havent read that sentence since I left reddit (and WSB with it hahaha).
In this case I’d rather blame everyone else for their emissions as the complete disappearance of food sources is linked to climate-induced migration of species.
Kardamumma!
