One year since the devastating floods: How's the current
situation in Pakistan? | DW News
--- Quote ---
> It has been over a year since Pakistan was hit by devastating
floods that claimed more than 1700 lives and destroyed millions
of homes. Even now, certain areas of the country continue to
suffer the consequences. A large number of people are residing
in temporary shelters due to inadequate financial aid from
foreign countries. Aid organizations estimate that around 20
million individuals still require assistance. The UN Chief has
referred to the floods as a prime example of environmental
destruction caused by climate change.

Wildfire smoke may increase risk of brain disease, research
suggests
--- Quote ---
>
>
> A growing body of international research suggests pollution
from wildfire smoke can produce cognitive deficits,
post-traumatic stress and may even increase the risk of
dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
>
> there is concern that during wildfires, tiny particles of soot
and other chemicals in smoke have the ability to enter the cells
and nerves of the nose, both of which scientists have shown have
a direct connection to the brain.
>
> Cells and nerves connecting the nose-brain passage, Pinkerton
said, can get inflamed and damaged by wildfire smoke.
>
> “Some particles from wildfire smoke have been shown to be able
to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause inflammation of the
brain,” he said in a recent interview.
>
> Wildfire smoke is not only composed of vegetation from trees
and other plants that are burned but also everyday products that
are caught in the flames, including metals from vehicles and
homes, plastic, and clothes.
>
> Ray Dorsey, neurology professor at the University of
Rochester, New York, said some of the particulate matter from
wildfire smoke is small enough that it can travel into the smell
centres of the brain.
>
> “Hitchhiking on these tiny particulate matter are pieces that
are toxic metals – lead from leaded gasoline, iron from brake
pads and platinum from catalytic converters,” he said in an
interview.
>
> Brains of people with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s show higher
concentrations of heavy metal, Dorsey said. Damage to the smell
centres of the brain is found almost universally in patients
with these two diseases, he said.
>
> “Exposure to air pollutants plays a major role in the
development and-or acceleration of Alzheimer’s disease,” said
the study, called “Hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease are evolving
relentlessly in Metropolitan Mexico City infants, children and
young adults.”
>
> Dorsey said he’s seen recent reports suggesting air pollution
from wildfires has a denser or higher concentration of
particulate matter than air pollution from vehicle traffic.
>
> Exposure to wildfires also caused a decrease in cognitive
performance, which is the ability to suppress distractions and
focus on the task at hand

Are Men Killing the Planet?
--- Quote ---
> In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I
explore how patriarchy destroy the planet and drives climate
change. Specifically, I look at how threads of patriarchal
masculinities, like petromasculinity and ecomodern masculinity
are wielded and pervade responses to the climate crisis. These
patriarchal responses to climate change not only obstruct needed
action, but they have devasting consequences for gender
liberation and environmental health.

--- End Quote ---
Which one civilization is to blame for this? (Hint: the same one
which ensured that most of the poor people are from other
civilizations.) So, should it be held accountable or not?
--- Quote ---
> They found that "a future person is killed every time 1000
tons of fossil carbon are burned." The researchers concluded
that "if warming reaches or exceeds 2 °C this century, mainly
richer humans will be responsible for killing roughly 1 billion
mainly poorer humans through anthropogenic global warming, which
is comparable with involuntary or negligent manslaughter."
>
> The scientists emphasized the role of wealthy humans because
research shows that they are disproportionately among the
so-called "super emitters," or wealthy individuals whose carbon
footprint is significantly greater than that of ordinary people.
"In 2019, fully 40% of total U.S. emissions were associated with
income flows to the highest earning 10% of households,"
explained the authors of a recent study in PLOS Climate.

through north-west Nevada. Approximately 80,000 people make an
annual pilgrimage to the beloved bacchanal, many hauling
trailers and RVs across miles of scorching desert in order to
make it to their fabled Gomorrah. This year, however, climate
activists temporarily halted the influx of eager festivalgoers,
blocking the road with a 28-foot trailer and causing a
bumper-to-bumper traffic jam for over an hour. They clashed with
outraged Burning Man attendees as well as Nevada rangers.

and become better known for luxury RVs, wild orgies, and Silicon
Valley bros. Protestors from the Seven Circles –a coalition of
activists representing the climate groups Extinction Rebellion,
Rave Revolution, and Scientist Rebellion – demanded that Burning
Man ban private jets and single-use plastics, as well as
unlimited generator and propane use. Signs painted with the
slogans “Burners of the world, unite!”, “Mother Earth needs our
help” and “System change” were erected around the blockade,
while four activists chained themselves to the trailer and
locked arms through PVC pipes...
