Boy, it almost seems like a #GlobalConspiracy by #BigOil and #BigMineral... Keep warming temps so they can mine #Antarctica!
Antarctica hides huge caches of gold, silver, copper and iron. As the ice melts, countries may race to harvest them.
Melting ice, rebounding land, and rising seas will change what resources are available in Antarctica, a new analysis finds.

No Escape: #ClimateChange is a growing threat to people already fleeing war
12 November 2024
"People forced to flee war, violence and persecution are increasingly finding themselves on the front line of the global climate crisis, a new report warns, exposing them to a lethal combination of threats but without the funding and support to adapt.
"The report, released today by #UNHCR, the #UNRefugeeAgency, in collaboration with 13 expert organizations, research institutions and refugee-led groups, uses the latest data to show how climate shocks are interacting with conflict, pushing those who are already in danger into even more dire situations.
"Of the more than 120 million forcibly #displaced worldwide, three-quarters live in countries heavily impacted by climate change. Half are in places affected by both conflict and serious climate hazards, such as #Ethiopia, #Haiti, #Myanmar, #Somalia, #Sudan and #Syria.
"According to the report – No Escape: On the Frontlines of Climate Change, Conflict and #ForcedDisplacement – by 2040 the number of countries facing extreme climate-related hazards is expected to rise from 3 to 65, the vast majority of which host displaced people. Similarly, most refugee settlements and camps are projected to experience twice as many days of dangerous heat by 2050.
“ 'For the world’s most vulnerable people, climate change is a harsh reality that profoundly affects their lives,' said UN High Commissioner for Refugees, #FilippoGrandi. 'The climate crisis is driving displacement in regions already hosting large numbers of people uprooted by conflict and insecurity, compounding their plight and leaving them with nowhere safe to go.'
"For example, the devastating conflict in Sudan has forced millions of people to flee, including 700,000 who have crossed into #Chad, which has hosted refugees for decades and yet is one of the countries most exposed to climate change. At the same time, many who fled the fighting but remained in Sudan are at risk of further displacement because of #SevereFlooding that has blighted the country.
"Similarly, 72 per cent of #Myanmar’s refugees have sought safety in #Bangladesh, where natural hazards such as #cyclones and #flooding, are classified as extreme.
" 'In our region, where so many people have been displaced for so many years, we see the effects of climate change before our very eyes,' said #GraceDorong, a #ClimateActivist and former refugee living in #SouthSudan. 'I hope the voices of the people in this report help decision-makers to understand that if not addressed, forced displacement – and the multiplying effect of climate change – will get worse. But if they listen to us, we can be part of the solution, too.' "

Klimabewegung: FBI ermittelt gegen Exxon-Lobbyisten wegen Hacking

Klimabewegung: FBI ermittelt gegen Exxon-Lobbyisten wegen Hacking
Eine Recherche der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters belegt, dass der Ölkonzern ExxonMobil tiefer in das Hacking von Umweltaktivist:innen verwickelt ist als bisher bekannt. Das ausgespähte Material wurde zur Diskreditierung von Klima-Klagen gegen den Konzern genutzt.

– Markus Reuter – in Überwachung – keine Ergänzungen Anlage von ExxonMobil in Rotterdam. (Archivbild) – Alle Rechte vorbehalten IMAGO / ANPDie Nachrichtenagentur Reuters hat herausgefunden, dass das FBI gegen einen langjährigen Berater von Exxon Mobil ermittelt. Grund ist die Rolle des Ölkonzerns bei einer Hacking- und Leaking-Operation gegen hunderte Kritiker. An dieser waren laut Reuters angeheuerte Hacker beteiligt, die erfolgreich in die E-Mail-Konten von zahlreichen Umweltaktivist:innen und anderen Personen eindrangen.
Laut der Recherche begann die illegale Mission Ende des Jahres 2015 als das republikanernahe PR- und Lobbyunternehmen DCI Group eine Liste mit Zielpersonen erstellt haben soll und diese Liste dann an einen israelischen Privatdetektiv weiterleitete, der wiederum Hacker anheuerte.
Laut den von Reuters befragten Umweltaktivist:innen ging es Exxon darum, Klagen gegen das Unternehmen zu unterminieren und zu diskreditieren. Die Klagen sollten zeigen, dass der Ölmulti die Öffentlichkeit über die Risiken des Klimawandels entgegen eigener Forschungsergebnisse bewusst getäuscht habe. Die Umweltbewegung mobilisierte unter dem Hashtag #ExxonKnew gegen den Konzern.
Klagen unterminieren
Exxon stellte sich im Vorfeld der Klagen als Opfer einer politischen Hexenjagd dar. Die aus den Hacks gewonnen Unterlagen, die unter anderem Prozessstrategien der Umweltschützer enthielten, sollten dies untermauern. Die DCI Group leakte diese Unterlagen offenbar gezielt an Medien. Laut Reuters hat das FBI herausgefunden, dass DCI die Informationen mit Exxon teilte, bevor sie weitergegeben wurden. Bis heute nutzen laut dem Reuters-Bericht mit Exxon verbundene Unternehmen Materialien aus den Hacks für ihre juristische Arbeit und PR.
In einer Erklärung sagte Exxon gegenüber der Nachrichtenagentur, es sei „nicht in Hacking-Aktivitäten verwickelt gewesen oder habe davon gewusst“ und bezeichnete gegenteilige Behauptungen als „Verschwörungstheorien“. Reuters konnte nicht feststellen, ob Exxon selbst auch Gegenstand der FBI-Ermittlungen war.
Das FBI untersucht seit Anfang 2018 Fälle von Hacking in diesem Zusammenhang. So wurde der von DCI angeheuerte israelische Privatdetektiv Amit Forlit, dessen Auslieferung die USA ersucht haben, in London festgenommen. In einer Anhörung in Großbritannien wurden keine konkreten Namen genannt, es war lediglich von einer „in Washington ansässigen PR- und Lobbying-Firma“ die Rede und von einem Öl- und Gasunternehmen.
Codename „Fuchsjagd“
Ein weiterer Privatdetektiv namens Aviram Azari, den Forlit offenbar beauftragt hatte, wurde mittlerweile zu 80 Monaten Haft verurteilt. Zu den Zielen Azaris unter dem Codenamen „Fuchsjagd“ gehörten laut Reuters mehr als 500 E-Mail-Adressen von Umweltschützern, ihren Geldgebern, ihren Kollegen und ihren Familienmitgliedern. Details zu den Hacks hatte im Jahr 2020 auch die NGO Citizen Lab veröffentlicht.
Die Nachrichtenagentur Reuters hat im Rahmen ihrer Recherchen die Identität prominenter Ziele erfahren, darunter der ehemalige demokratische Präsidentschaftskandidat und Milliardär Tom Steyer sowie die Ex-Frau von Eric Schneiderman, dem damaligen Generalstaatsanwalt von New York.
Einige der Klagen gegen Exxon sind immer noch anhängig, erst jüngst hat der Bundesstaat Maine gegen Ölkonzerne ein Verfahren eröffnet. Auch hier dienen die mit Hackern erbeuteten Materialien als Abwehr gegen die Klagen.

Parts of #Spain appear to merge with the sea after historic #rain in before-and-after images
The deadly #flooding that rocked Spain this week following intense, historic #rainfall is so expansive and severe the area looked like an inland sea from space.
By Mary Gilbert, CNN Meteorologist
Published Nov 1, 2024CNN - "The deadly flooding that rocked Spain this week following intense, historic rainfall is so expansive and severe the area looked like an inland sea from space.
"A year’s worth of rain fell in just hours in east-central Spain Tuesday, creating a surge of floodwater that broke the banks of rivers, turned streets into raging rapids and washed away cars and bridges.
"At least 155 people were killed in the #CatastrophicFloods — the type of extreme rainfall event becoming all too frequent as the world warms due to #FossilFuelPollution.
"Parts of the area now look like an extension of the #BalearicSea after unprecedented rainfall turned what should be dry ground into a vast expanse of water, satellite imagery captured on October 30 shows.
"#Floodwaters appear as various shades of blue and cover what was dry ground (browns and greens) earlier this month, the imagery shows. The dramatic, widespread coverage of floodwater over inland areas has almost turned coastal areas into islands.
"Waterways that were hardly noticeable in the 'before' satellite image from earlier in the month — like the one that cuts just south of Valencia’s city center — are now highlighted in bright blue, indicating how swollen they are."

"#UniversalSuicide": An imprisoned #ClimateActivist on why the fight for the planet still matters
#JustStopOil cofounder Roger Hallam spoke with Salon about overcoming climate despair and taking action
By Matthew Rozsa
Staff Writer
October 24, 2024"Many people don’t need something as dramatic as #HurricaneMilton to tell them our climate is spiraling out of control. It’s evident everywhere, from the U.K. recently reporting its second worst #harvest on record to #Antarctica turning green to the U.S. spending $150 billion a year on climate change-related #ExtremeWeather events.
"But this isn’t some mysterious crisis. We know #FossilFuel companies are responsible for the emissions heating the globe. But instead of fixing it, these corporations have lied to the public, bribed politicians and sowed distrust in science. Meanwhile, governments are giving more money than ever to fossil fuel companies via subsidies, with a record $7 trillion cashed out to #BigOil in 2022.
"Some climate activist groups would like to bring your attention to this issue. But they are often arrested and get the book thrown at them when they demonstrate. Climate activist Roger Hallam knows this all too well, as he serves a five-year prison sentence for #BlockingTraffic — and, as he explained to Salon, his plight is a warning to Americans who vote for politicians that deny climate science.
"Hallam, who described himself as a #PoliticalPrisoner, was incarcerated for his role in leading and participating in an anti-climate change demonstration in November 2022. For four days, Hallam and more than three dozen other activists climbed a gantry and thereby blocked traffic in London’s critically important #M25 motorway."

Oil and gas lobbying reaches $72 million in first half of 2024
By Molly Taylor
August 15, 2024"The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers led the oil and gas industry in federal lobbying expenditures in the first half of 2024, marking the first time the trade association outspent the top individual companies in the industry.
"The trade association, which represents 450 fuel refining and petrochemical companies, leads the oil and gas industry with $8.1 million in federal lobbying expenditures over the first half of 2024. This level of spending marks a shift in influence, as individual oil and gas companies have typically outspent the trade association by millions of dollars.
"The oil and gas industry altogether spent $72 million on federal lobbying in the first six months of 2024 as the #EPA introduced some of its strongest-ever regulations to reduce #FossilFuel emissions. The industry is on track to exceed last year’s expenditures, which totaled $137 million after adjustment for inflation, and is the fifth-highest lobbying industry of the year.
"The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers emerged as the top spender after doubling its federal lobbying expenditures from 2022. Between 2016 and 2022, the trade organization spent, on average, $3.4 million annually without adjusting for inflation. In 2023, spending jumped to $6.9 million in 2023.
"In the first six months of 2024, the American Fuel and #Petrochemical
Manufacturers has already spent more on federal lobbying than any prior year."#AFPM #KochIndustries #KochBrothers #Shell #OccidentalPetroleum #ConocoPhillips #Chevron #ExxonMobil #AmericanPetroleumInstitute #Phillips66 #BigOilAndGas #ExxonKnew #BigOilKnew

#America's Notorious '#CancerAlley' Is Even More #Toxic Than We Thought
A new study finds levels of the #carcinogen ethylene oxide that are nine times higher than those estimated by the #EPA’s models.
By Naveena Sadasivam, Grist
June 11, 2024"Since the 1980s, the 85-mile stretch of the #MississippiRiver that connects #NewOrleans and #BatonRouge, #Louisiana, has been known as “Cancer Alley.” The name stems from the fact that the area’s residents have a 95% greater chance of developing cancer than the average American. A big reason for this is the concentration of industrial facilities along the corridor — particularly #petrochemical manufacturing plants, many of which emit ethylene oxide, an extremely potent toxin that is considered a carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency and has been linked to breast and lung cancers."

So, with all that's being revealed about what #ExxonKnew in the 1950's, I thought it might be relevant to post what #WalterRussell, artist, visionary and scientist in the 1950's posted about #AtomicEnergy and #ClimateChange...
LOSS OF OXYGEN GLOBALLY
"Walter Russell, a visionary artist and scientist, predicted in his book Atomic Suicide? published in 1957 that due to man-made radioactivity we would experience a loss of oxygen in the air that we breathe. In a similar way to the predictions of Andrei Sakharov in the 1950's, Walter Russell's foresight is now coming true. Our current oxygen resources are low. The percentage of oxygen in the air is down to about 19 percent. (BioTech News 1997) The expected amount is 21 percent oxygen. Some experts say that we may have originally evolved in an atmosphere of 38 percent oxygen. But now, due to the loss of forests and ocean plankton, our two sources of oxygen production, measurements of oxygen as low as 12 percent and 15 percent have been made in heavily industrialized areas. This oxygen-depleted condition is a contributing cause of the generalized lack of well-being that many are experiencing. And it does not look good for the future. We need oxygen to live!
"Trees and green plants provide about half, and plankton provide the other half of our oxygen. Phytoplankton, which are the base of the marine food chain, is declining. Various studies confirm this: plankton in parts of the Antarctic Ocean is declining up to 12 percent. (S. Weiler. Testimony to Senate Commerce Committee, November 15, 1991)
Trees absorb radioactive carbon-14 in place of stable forms of carbon and in this way they are gradually killed. The book, The Petkau Effect, by Ralph Graeub tells how radioactivity has harmed trees and forests: "It is assumed that the decisive physiological damage resulting in current forest death must have begun during the 1950's. This is depicted in a reduction in density and width of tree rings, and in reduced growth, which is true in the Northern Hemisphere and in the Himalayas.... Neither aging, location, nor climate can be considered as the possible sole cause of damage.... The growth ring of a tree shows exactly what effects the tree has experienced, both in terms of time and seriousness.... During the 1950's and 1960's, there must have been a global wave of air pollution which caused the initial damage."
"The author speculates that it could not be just the usual chemicals which are so damaging the trees. And he explains that these trees are mainly within the 30th to 60th parallels of northern latitude.
"This zone contains the most nuclear power plants -- over 300 -- and almost all nuclear reprocessing centers. Also, the vast majority of nuclear weapons tests occurred in this area."

#ExxonKnew about #ClimateChange almost 40 years ago
A new investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote #misinformation
By Shannon Hall on October 26, 2015
"One thing is certain: in June 1988, when #NASA scientist #JamesHansen told a congressional hearing that the planet was already warming, #Exxon remained publicly convinced that the science was still controversial. Furthermore, experts agree that Exxon became a leader in campaigns of confusion. By 1989 the company had helped create the #GlobalClimateCoalition (disbanded in 2002) to question the scientific basis for concern about climate change. It also helped to prevent the #USA from signing the international treaty on climate known as the #KyotoProtocol in 1998 to control #GreenhouseGases . Exxon’s tactic not only worked on the U.S. but also stopped other countries, such as #China and #India, from signing the treaty. At that point, 'a lot of things unraveled,' Oreskes says.
"But experts are still piecing together Exxon’s misconception puzzle. Last summer the Union of Concerned Scientists released a complementary investigation to the one by InsideClimate News, known as the Climate Deception Dossiers (pdf). 'We included a memo of a coalition of fossil-fuel companies where they pledge basically to launch a big communications effort to sow doubt,' says union president Kenneth Kimmel. 'There’s even a quote in it that says something like ‘Victory will be achieved when the average person is uncertain about climate science.’ So it’s pretty stark.'
"Since then, Exxon has spent more than $30 million on #ThinkTanks that promote ClimateDenial, according to #Greenpeace. Although experts will never be able to quantify the damage Exxon’s misinformation has caused, 'one thing for certain is we’ve lost a lot of ground,' Kimmell says. Half of the greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere were released after 1988. 'I have to think if the fossil-fuel companies had been upfront about this and had been part of the solution instead of the problem, we would have made a lot of progress [today] instead of doubling our greenhouse gas emissions.'"
