  1. Wednesday, I got bold/foolish and did a **17.4km** river walk, while *fasting*. Very little elevation change, but the longer distance and time, plus fasting, gave me a sense of progress.

    Sharing some pictures now; more later 👇.

    “📉 KEY FINDINGS
    • At +4 °C, only ~18,000 glaciers remain worldwide by 2100
    • At +1.5 °C, ~100,000 glaciers survive
    • [They] identif[ed] “Peak Glacier Extinction”:
    – ~2041 at +1.5 °C (~2,000 glaciers lost per year)
    – ~2055 at +4 °C (~4,000 glaciers lost per year)
    🏔️ THE ALPS
    • At +2.7 °C, only ~110 glaciers remain by 2100.
    • At +4 °C, this drops to just ~20.
    Can you imagine the Alps with almost no glaciers left?...”

    Mia nuna hipotezo pri ĉi tiu stranga konduto inter skiistoj estas:

    A). Moki kaj ridindigi la malavantaĝitan neĝtabuliston en ilia grupo.

    B). Ili mem estas resaniĝantaj tabulodroguloj.

    C). Ili estis adoptitaj de tabulogepatroj.

    D). Simpla amasiĝo de lakta acido en la kruraj muskoloj.

    Aŭ kio alia ĉu vi pensus ĝi povus esti?

  20. [ Pistenĉikanantoj* ]

    La tago finiĝis. Ombroj longiĝas kaj plia liftaliro nun estas fermita. La skipatrolo faras sian finan balaadon kaj ĵetos la lastajn turistojn de la monto.

    Tiam komenciĝas la nokta baleto.

    Restarigu ĉiujn da 275 kilometrojn da skikurejoj el la plataj ĝis la muroj, el la padoj ĝis la bulvardoj, kiel (neĝ)kato kombas sian felon glaten.

  21. [ Mogoloj ]

    Bela vetero dum iu ajn semajnfino aŭ aliaj ripozaj aŭ sanktaj tagoj ĉiam alportos ekstran pezan trafikon, kiu lasas sian spuron tie, kie miloj elektis sekvi la samajn kurbojn.

    Ne ideala, tamen akceptu ĉi tion kiel ĝi fakte estas, kaj brakumu la defion.

    Kaj certe! Ne neniam eĉ malĉiam deklaru lastan kuron *ĵinkso*🍀

  22. Wounds

    (Some more entries from an ongoing series of photographs about the effects of climate change and increasing erosion in the Alps, here focused at very localized scales & occurrences to make them more concrete, communicable and less abstract...)

    1) Exposed chunks of bedrock underneath the shrinking Langtauferer glacier

    2) Heavily eroded forest in the Lechtal Alps

    3) A dried out alpine lake in the Dolomites

    4) Accumulated rock fall debris near Hahntennjoch (one of Austria's mountain passes most prone to avalanches, falling rocks, and mudslides)

    See alt text for more info. Prints (analog & digital) available for purchase soon.

  23. #Japan's #Fukushima #nuclear wastewater 'pose major #environmental, #HumanRights risks' - UN experts

    20 May 2025

    "The United Nations (UN) human rights experts have written to the Japanese government to express their concerns about the release of more than one million metric tonnes of treated nuclear wastewater into the #PacificOcean.

    "In August 2023, Japan began discharging wastewaster from about 1000 storage tanks of contaminated water collected after the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 that caused the meltdown of its Fukushima nuclear plant.

    "In the formal communication, available publicly, UN Human Rights Council special rappoteurs addressed the the management of Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS)-treated wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) by the Japan government and TEPCO (Tokio Electric Power), and the ongoing discharge of such waters into the Pacific Ocean.

    "They said 'we are alarmed that the implementation of contaminated water release operations of into the ocean may pose major environmental and human rights risks, exposing people, especially children, to threats of further contamination in Japan and beyond.'

    " 'We wish to raise our concern about the allegations of the failure to assess the consequences on health of the release of wastewater against the best available scientific evidence,' the special rappoteurs write.

    " 'Against this backdrop, we would like to highlight that the threats to the enjoyment of the right to adequate food do not concern only local people within the borders of Japan.

    " 'Given the migratory nature of fish, their contamination represents a risk also for people living beyond the Japanese borders, including Indigenous Peoples across the Pacific Ocean which, according to their culture and traditions, mainly rely on seafood as their primary livelihood.'

    "The letter follows a complaint submitted by Ocean Vision Legal in August 2023 on behalf of the Pacific Network on Globalisation (#PANG) and endorsed by over 50 civil society groups in the Pacific and beyond.

    "In a statement on Tuesday, PANG hailed it as "a landmark move for #OceanJustice and #HumanRights'.

    "The organisation said that the destructive legacy of nuclear #contamination through #NuclearTesting is still strongly felt across the region.

    "It said this legacy is marked by severe health impacts across generations and the ongoing failure to properly clean up test sites, which continue to contaminate the islands and waterways that Pacific peoples depend on.

    " 'As Pacific groups, we remain disappointed in the Japanese Government and TEPCO's shameless disregard of the calls by numerous Pacific leaders and civil society groups to hold off on any further release,' PANG's coordinator Joey Tau said.

    " 'Their ignorance constitutes a brazen threat to Pacific peoples' livelihoods, safety, health and well-being, and the sovereignty of Pacific nations,' he added.

    "Japan has consistently maintained that the release is safe.

    "The UN human rights experts have asked for further information from Japan, including on the allegations raised, and on how the Radiological Environmental Impact Assessment has been conducted according to the best available scientific evidence.

    "This communication sends a clear message: Ocean issues must be understood as human rights issues, requiring precautionary and informed action aligned with international environmental law to safeguard both people and the marine environment.

    "#OceanVisionLegal founder and CEO Anna von Rebay said while the communication is not legally binding, it is a crucial milestone.

    " 'It informs the interpretation of human rights and environmental law in response to contemporary threats, contributing to the development of customary international law and strengthens accountability for any actor harming the Ocean,' she said.

    " 'Ultimately, it paves the way towards a future where the Ocean's health is fully recognised as fundamental to human dignity, justice, and intergenerational equity.' "
