Channel 4 reports that the Zambia copper mine disaster, which began in February, could be one of the worst man-made environmental disasters in history. Almost 2/3 of Zambia's population rely on the Kafue River, which has been inundated by acids, cyanide, arsenic, uranium and lead.
why is yves extreme??
The Florida grasshopper sparrow being saved by ranchers & the military is a myth. It’s critically endangered because we erased nearly all of its prairie—and researchers are left keeping a few birds alive. youtu.be/Da2IERW5-O4?...
Your weekly reminder to plant #NativePlants Mountain Mint. Whatever Pycnanthemum is best for your area, more than one species if possible. Life-changing plants—look at this swarm with life! 😍 #gardening #bees #beetles #pollinators #inverts #ecosystem #InsectThursday #NoSpray #organic-gardening 🌱
For more than 10 years, I have been showing you better construction methods, building materials, and better ways of working. For just as long, you have been rejecting them, claiming that they are more expensive. Problem: There is no alternative to sustainable construction. 1/3
G described the 30s: a moment when the dominant order had begun to decay, yet no new force had emerged to take its place. It birthed monsters: “The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum, a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.”
Currently reading Silent Spring (published 1962), so this story hits particularly hard. Of course we’ve moved on in 63 years, and novel chemicals are more regulated, but I guess we have scaled up everything dramatically so the problem is just as serious overall. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Antarctic summer sea ice is at record lows- further fueling global warming as bright white sea ice reflects about 90% of the incoming energy from sunlight, while the darker ocean absorbs about 90%. phys.org/news/2025-07...
Two-fold increase in glacier mass loss between 2010-2020 and 2021-2024! 🔥📈 CAN+Swiss glaciers lost 12-13% of their 2020 volume during these 4 years! 😱 Nothing can compare with early 2020s ice loss rates 📷 Bare ice at Peyto Glacier @hakai.org agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
It's that time of year again! Guess the date and time we will see the first newborn baby rattlesnake on the Colorado livestream for a chance to win a Snakes Have Families, Too T-shirt. :-) Please share widely, and watch live at RattleCam.org. bit.ly/guessbabydate
"the importance of aggressive mitigation of plastic pollution." we have known about the endocrine disruption from plastics for d e c aaaa d es. how's it going?
what i discovered of canadian 'wilderness' after years traveling the backroads #postwildworld the only wilderness that is left is what we allow to persist, a sort of curated propped up gated wilderness you have to pay to access
that this was ever in question is an absolute indictment of our western colonial 'scientific' culture.
Driver appears to be hotter-drought, am presently putting the last year in longer-term context. But little/no rain from July '24 through June '25, atop some record heat. It's a story we've come to know too well from global forest mortality event observations, e.g. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
turning the lights off at night has got to be the easiest low hanging fruit of environmental health practices.
overconsumption
heh sounds like they are hyping up this good time in l.a., giving me fomo
Once again, à la Friedman, corporate lobbyists have successfully seized a crisis to push for the things they want.
ive been reading carney's book but i give up. 600 pages of this i cant
but we have already past 1.5C ........... some sources say we are 1.6C and climbing. no reduction in emmissions in sight, just higher CO2 concentrations every year with our carbon sinks and heat sinks failing.
Speaking of the Pet Shop Boys: i don't think this is on Apple Music, but their 1994 Brit Awards performance of "Go West", featuring a choir of Welsh coal miners, is an ICONIC masterpiece of socialist LGBTQ+ art @garius.bsky.social 's long & fascinating story about it is in the description.
feeling this in northern ontario rn :/

app optimists are more likely to live longer and be happier, the pessimists seem to have a more accurate perception of reality. denial/disavowal (optimism?) is a psychological survival mechanism.
In short, the true courage is to admit that the light at the end of the tunnel is most likely the headlight of another train approaching us from the opposite direction. Zizek Slavoj

I thought the same thing lol doug is smiling and shaking hands? oh its about booze 🍻
🔥 insulation, plastic vapour barrier, shingles, mdf, composite counter tops, paint, vinyl flooring, ABS etc houses are basically toxic to life itself. maybe someday we will start green building sigh
canada just elected a marxist banker 🤣🤣 according to our conservatives, we are commies now (i wish 😭)
This video illustrates the "levante" phenomenon on the Rock of Gibraltar. The "levante" is an east wind carrying moisture from the Mediterranean. When it encounters the rock's steep terrain, it rises, cools, and condenses, creating clouds, mist, and fog. 📹 Met Office Gibraltar
nice work 💎 if you need any help w tile lmk 💪
paper tiger is another good moniker for mango mussolini
intro is definitely captivating lol need that for a tome like this. are all liberals trying to be john rawls or? 😅

“if you see a subaru driver on the road they’re coming after you” i’m dying

its coz you sound super toxic bruh
id rather bougi fucks from far away fly over here for leisure instead of our neighbors #globaleconomics #doom #turtleisland
@paulhbeckwith.bsky.social uh so, puppies were important in precolonial times... they were companions when things were good, and they were food when things were bad.
this isn't "romanticizing collapse". it's the final stage of grief: acceptance. the romantic is the one still bargaining or in denial.
i suppose in my degrowth utopia, 90% of bs 'bougi fuck' (creative commons license lol) jobs would be gone and liberals wouldnt be crying about losing their slave class of food producers and "exported habitat/ecosystem destruction" (aka global food system)
my father was a subsistence farmer, I've worked on organic farms (free labour and apprenticeships and wwoofing so you can still afford to eat dont worry) bougi fucks who play w drones for a living good luck w your ag based civ. the food system is largely toxic and your existence depends on it.
i derive joy from that 🙏🥰📉
Consumption of beverages in single-use plastic bottles is the leading cause of plastic poisoning of our oceans and other waterways - it's time to kick the habit now, starting with Coke, which refuses to implement reusable packaging to reduce plastic production. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
uh yes you do need make a talk, that's genius!
In this animation of atmospheric CO2 concentration, you can see the individual smokestacks pouring pollution into the air. Gray is high concentration; orange is very high concentration.
that area from union east to cherry lakeshore is underserviced... one connection right along lakeshore from mississauga to woodbine east would be so nice

The RATE of CO₂ increase is increasing!
This is your regular reminder: Wildlife, nature, the vibrancy of the living world is not being "lost." It's not "disappearing." Earth is being stolen and destroyed; it's being disappeared. There are agents behind the destruction, and they have names and titles and business addresses
id rather know the truth even if it crushes my soul. im sorry dr. im broken by all this and so v angry too.
And the work is absolutely BRUTAL, mentally. That part isn't really recognized (or supported) beyond the superficial. We're all expected to carry on as normal. And it seems like nothing changes. Every year it's the same - more plastic, more necropsies, more tears. bsky.app/profile/thel...
and from there in, every trump endorsement was a kiss of death... #teslatakedown
i was (am) really hungry for early accounts on this land but it was offensive and unreadable
his actual book.. got it at the library. he never spoke of the chipewa as wise, wrote as if he inherently knew how to trap grouse and survive. he was selling himself.
tried to read samuel hearne, what a self aggrandizing pos. couldnt do it. garbage exploratory journaling.
including its impact on warfare and modern media. Virilio argued that the speed at which events unfold can alter their essential nature, and that which moves with speed often comes to dominate what is slower... - search virilio speed terrorism
how many weeks has it been? cant stop thinking about Paul Virilio, a French cultural theorist and philosopher, extensively explored the relationship between speed and terrorism in his work. He coined the term "dromology" to describe the pervasive influence of speed in every aspect of life, includi
#tesla down 35% this quarter boissss good job everybody ily 🙏👌🔥 #takedowntesla

heh in southern ontario my local xc ski place says we got 487cm snow this year so we got it all 😅
we were always like money!!: it's just an idea it only controls us bc we let it! and well dont they also say fascism is the result of a failed revolution.
lol this is the blatant accelerationism that makes me blush! it i interesting to see how fragile the system is; a set of propped up ideologies that can so swiftly be dismantled by a team of predators. all that is solid melts into the air..
also monoculture farming.. but that's just habitat issues nevermind all the others like better living thru chemistry or climate change
hey yea lets plant more lawns, boxwood, hydrangea, english yew and other #colonial ecologically dead #landscaping #gardening #homegrownnationalpark
