🥶🔍 Oh no, the #Himalayas are turning into a barren #wasteland because winter is slacking off on snow duty! Scientists "warn" us with their serious faces while we all collectively yawn and scroll past the BBC's infinite scrolling chaos. Remember, if it's not melting faster than your ice cream on a hot day, it's probably not newsworthy. 🌍🔬

#NIRS - The Global #NuclearWaste Crisis
"Clean air and drinking water and healthy food are the very foundation of a just and livable world. They are already more precious than ever due to the climate crisis.
#NuclearPower and #NuclearWeapons are poisoning our water, air, and lands with vast amounts of #RadioactiveWaste. Much of the harm is inflicted on #Black, #Indigenous, #PeopleOfColor and #LowIncome white communities, due to #StructuralRacism and #injustice.
Radioactive waste poses a global #EnvironmentalCrisis, in tandem with #ClimateChange. The sheer amount of nuclear waste is enough to threaten clean drinking water and healthy food for the whole world.
We are on the frontlines of this problem.
- Nearly one-third of the worldwide total of radioactive waste is in the United States.
- Some communities in the US are already losing their drinking water sources to radioactive contamination.
- Just one part of the radioactive waste in the US – irradiated nuclear fuel – contains enough radioactivity to make every drop of drinking water on Earth unsafe to consume.We must solve the twin global crises of climate change and nuclear waste. Global warming amplifies the dangers of nuclear energy. Increasingly #SevereStorms, #flooding, #SeaLevelRise, #wildfires and other extreme events increase the risks of nuclear disasters and #RadioactiveLeaks and spills. And, in turn, the impacts of nuclear energy magnify the dangers of climate change:
- Poisoning drinking water and agricultural land on top of more frequent and severe droughts and crop failures.
- Compounding hurricane and flooding evacuations with #RadiologicalDisasters.
- And causing people to lose their homes and communities permanently due to radiation.It’s clear: we can’t afford the dangers of climate change or nuclear waste. And we certainly can’t afford them together.
The solutions to both are at hand. We must act now.
1. To start, we must stop the problems from worsening: no more greenhouse gas emissions, and no more nuclear waste.
2. We need to protect people and the water, air, and food we rely on from the dangers that are upon us. The climate is changing, and we need to protect people for extreme weather, drought, sea-level rise, and food supply disruptions. And we must safeguard our water, air, and land by securing and storing nuclear waste and toxic materials as safely as possible.
3. And, we need to repair the damage and make our world healthy and vibrant again: restoring communities that have been dislocated or polluted, and cleaning up the air, land, and water so we can all thrive, for generations to come."Learn more: (includes https://www.nirs.org/the-global-nuclear-waste-crisis/

Surviving the Storm: How The Martian Could Foreshadow Interstellar’s Dust-Choked Earth
When we watch The Martian (2015), it’s easy to see Mark Watney’s story as a thrilling tale of survival on a distant planet. He battles isolation, resource scarcity, and, most pressingly, Mars’ massive dust storms. Meanwhile, Interstellar (2014) portrays a dying Earth, ravaged by relentless dust storms and agricultural collapse. On the surface, the films seem unrelated — different worlds, different crises, different stakes. But a fascinating fan theory suggests that the Mars mission in […] -

From @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss
January, 2024 - Diné Activist & Musician #KleeBenally Dies at 48; Wrote Book on #IndigenousAnarchy
"The Diné (Navajo) activist and musician Klee Benally has died at the age of 48 in Arizona. Benally, who was from Black Mesa, spent years organizing against uranium mining on Native land and to protect the sacred San Francisco Peaks in Flagstaff, Arizona. He was also the former lead singer of the Indigenous punk band Blackfire. Benally had just published a new book titled '#NoSpiritualSurrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred.' In the book, he writes, 'If history is written by the conquerors, it will be unwritten by those who refuse to be conquered.' Klee Benally spoke to Democracy Now! in 2014 when we did the show from Flagstaff, Arizona.
Klee Benally: “But many of our people don’t have running water; they don’t have electricity. Yet our lands have been exploited. We have coal-fired — three coal-fired power plants that #pollute our air. We have these abandoned #uranium mines and new mines that are threatening the region. We have #fracking, hydraulic fracking, that’s threatening our land, as well. But this isn’t just an issue for here. Wherever there’s an #EnvironmentalCrisis, there’s a #CulturalCrisis, because we are people of the Earth.'"

The destruction of an ancient Australian forest by a housing developer has sparked global outrage, with renowned conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall calling it "simply unacceptable". Lee Point, harboring endangered species and trees dating back over 400 years, has been protected by Darwin's Indigenous community for millennia. Despite this, a government-owned company began bulldozing it last week for a luxury housing project. #SaveOurForests #EnvironmentalCrisis #deforestation #developers #developerlobby
