Berlin left in the dark as Washington weighs troop cuts in Europe


in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

No, no, it's obviously because Trump is a Putin agent and is making it easier for the ~~mongols~~ bolsheviks to attack Europe!

I bet there are people who actually think this too.

It will be cheaper than fossil fuels at some point in the future. The benefit of not being a finite resource. We can speed this process up if we scale up sooner rather than later.

We are already running out of fossil fuels (particularly diesel) so that's a given. If we are going to see significant green hydrogen generation, it will likely be in advanced dirigistic economies like China.

I love how we're all fucked because boomers will never die. Honestly, Gen X has a lot more folks that let us down. It doesn't matter the generation really. I know a pregnant gen Z, and all I can think about is how her kid, according to the popular generational theory, is going to be the next cycle of boomer. That's probably why many young gen Zs are a bunch of little assholes. But then she was a screw up, and my gen, the millineals as everyone knows works harder and is still called lazy and had our own screw ups. Generations are what they are but having no chance at happiness due to the rich controlling every goddamn asset is a new kind of fucked we all have to endure.

Hopefully humankind as a whole survives their stupidity also.





Hegseth says Wounded Knee soldiers will keep their Medals of Honor


WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that he has decided that the 19 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee will keep their awards in a video posted to social media Thursday evening.

Hegseth’s predecessor, Lloyd Austin, ordered the review of the awards in 2024 after a congressional recommendation in the 2022 defense bill — itself a reflection of efforts by some lawmakers to rescind the awards for those who participated in the bloody massacre on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Wounded Knee Creek.

While the events of that day are sometimes described as a battle, historical records show that the U.S. Army, which was in the midst of a campaign to repress the tribes in the area, killed an estimated 250 Native Americans, including women and children, of the Lakota Sioux tribe, while attempting to disarm Native American fighters who had already surrendered at their camp.

Democrats release Epstein docs with Musk, Thiel, Bannon and Prince Andrew mentions


Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”




Bondi fires a third federal prosecutor in Miami office, linked to anti-Trump posts


But Rosenzweig — considered to be among the rising prosecutors in the office — wasn’t fired because he had been associated with the criminal investigations of Trump by the Justice Department’s special counsel during the prior Biden administration. That was why two other respected federal prosecutors in the Miami office were abruptly terminated this year.

Rather, Rosenzweig was fired, according to multiple sources, because of the negative things he said about Trump on a social media blog before he became a federal prosecutor in Miami. When he was working for the prominent law firm Kobre & Kim in Washington during Trump’s first term, Rosenzweig posted criticisms of the president starting in 2017 — posts that were recently brought to the attention of the Justice Department.



Republican Arizona lawmaker makes post calling for execution of Democratic congresswoman


An Arizona Republican state representative who has expressed support for January 6 insurrectionists on Wednesday called for a Democratic congresswoman to be executed, as a response to a video clip.

The comment on X by state representative John Gillette of Kingman, Arizona, first reported by the Arizona Mirror, was a reaction to a short clip drawn from a YouTube video in March by US representative Pramila Jayapal, a longtime Democratic congresswoman representing Washington state, entitled “The Resistance Lab.” In the video, Jayapal discusses preparations for street protests against the Trump administration.

“Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried, convicted and hanged … it will continue,” he posted.

Nothing in either the clip or the longer video actually suggests Jayapal is advocating for the overthrow of the US government. The video carries explicit calls for non-violent protest and discussed with alarm a rise in political violence in the US.



Mass Walkout Leaves UN General Assembly Chamber Mostly 'Empty' for Netanyahu Speech


nitter.net/BarakRavid/status/1…

The protests against Netanyahu came as Israel is causing a famine in Gaza with its near-total blockade on humanitarian aid, which has killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians. Israel has launched a full invasion of Gaza, and its right-wing government has explicitly said that it plans on expelling all Palestinians who are still living in the exclave. The Israel Defense Forces’ assault has killed more than 65,000 Palestinians since October 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Israel has become increasingly isolated on the international stage in recent weeks, as the governments of France, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia have all formally recognized Palestine as an independent state.

Kristi Noem Fast-Tracked Millions in Disaster Aid to Florida Tourist Attraction After Campaign Donor Intervened


But records obtained by ProPublica show how one locality found a way to get FEMA aid more quickly: It asked one of Noem’s political donors for help.

The records show that Noem quickly expedited more than $11 million of federal money to rebuild a historic pier in Naples, Florida, after she was contacted by a major financial supporter last month. The pier is a tourist attraction in the wealthy Gulf Coast enclave and was badly damaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022.

Frustrated city officials had been laboring for months, without success, to get disaster assistance. But just two weeks after the donor stepped in, they were celebrating their sudden change of fortune. “We are now at warp speed with FEMA,” one city official wrote in an email. A FEMA representative wrote: “Per leadership instruction, pushing project immediately.”

California dumps its Trump-battered electric truck rule

Had California been more flexible, and adopted an "all-of-the-above" strategy, including ideas such as RNG, hydrogen (ICE and fuel cell based), they would be well on their way to zero emissions trucking by now.

Why banks’ credit risk models are blind to climate shocks


cross-posted from: mander.xyz/post/38752499

Archived

A recent global survey by UNEP FI and Global Credit Data found that only 18 per cent of banks integrate climate risk into their internal ratings-based models [IRBs], which drive regulatory capital requirements. The study cites data gaps and methodological hurdles but does not explain the deeper problem: credit risk and climate risk models are built on fundamentally different logics.

[...]

Unless supervisors adapt, the IRB models of today will remain blind to one of the most significant credit risk drivers of this century.

Credit risk models are precision tools honed on the past. Under the IRB approach, they calculate probabilities of default, losses given default, and exposure at default using deep pools of historical data.

Defaults, losses and macroeconomic patterns from years gone by are fed into these systems, with the underlying belief that yesterday’s relationships will largely hold tomorrow. This backward-looking design is reinforced by strict regulatory requirements: every risk driver must be de facto statistically significant, rigorously validated, and continuously monitored.

The result is a disciplined, data-heavy framework built to forecast the next 12 months of creditworthiness — and nothing beyond.

Climate risk models speak a different language. They are not grounded in borrower default histories but in climate science and policy pathways. Instead of asking “what happened last year, and will it repeat?”, they ask “what could happen in the decades ahead and how prepared are we if it does?” — on the premise that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

"“A factory in a flood zone may operate for years without incident, then suffer catastrophic losses from a single storm wiping it out overnight.”"

China’s empty promises on the road to COP30: When you parse the Paramount Leader’s video message to world leaders, any vestige of optimism begins to melt away - [Opinion]


cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42981736

Archived

[...]

[China's Xi Jinping's] promise to cut emissions by 7-10% from their peak was indeed a landmark pledge, in the sense that the country responsible for a third of global CO2 pollution has never before committed to cutting it by so much as a puff. But when you parse the Paramount Leader’s video message to world leaders, any vestige of optimism begins to melt away.

Let’s leave aside the question of which “peak” Mr Xi had in mind – some estimates suggest Chinese greenhouse gas pollution may have plateaued last year, but his carefully worded statement leaves room for another peak yet.

[...]

Firstly, some logic. A commitment to a 7-10% cut “while striving to do better” is a commitment to a 7% cut. That is all.

And let’s not forget it’s a “net” cut, meaning the parallel pledge to “scale up the total forest stock volume to 24 billion cubic metres” will subtract the presumed amount of CO2 locked away in wood.

[...]

What else does Beijing promise? “Expand the installed capacity of wind and solar power to over 6 times the 2020 levels, striving to bring the total to 3,600 gigawatts.”

There’s that weasel word “striving” again. Signatories to the Paris Agreement said they would strive to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels (specifically, the climate during the latter half of the nineteenth century). That is now considered politically impossible.

But we risk getting tied up in data. The nationally determined contribution (NDC) may not have been the most significant part of Xi’s intervention, if you read between the lines: “In the course of global green transition, fairness and equity should be upheld and the right to development of developing countries fully respected.”

[...]

It might surprise many to learn that China – while asserting itself as a major geopolitical force and very close to tying with the EU as the world’s second-largest economy – claims to be a “developing country” in the context of global climate talks, allying itself with the likes of Kiribati, Somalia and Zimbabwe.

In other words, it is the wealthy West that should pay for having had their industrial revolutions earlier. Beijing’s intransigence on this point was a major bone of contention at the COP29 summit in Azerbaijan last year.

Then comes the kicker: “It is important that countries strengthen international coordination in green technologies and industries to address the shortfall in green production capacity and ensure free flow of quality green products globally so that the benefits of green development can reach all corners of the world.”

China has invested a tremendous amount of political and actual capital in turning itself into the global workshop for green tech production. Trump is not only tossing tariffs around: He’s declared climate action a “con job” and is doing his best to shut down wind and solar development, both at home and abroad.

Meanwhile Brussels is actively pursuing a “buy European” policy. Beijing probably has reason to be concerned about its export market.

EU climate chief vows to push China on 'disappointing' climate target, says Beijing’s stance risks derailing Paris Agreement targets


cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42946561

Archived

EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra plans to push Beijing to go beyond its pledge – unveiled by President Xi Jinping on Wednesday – to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7-10% from peak levels by 2035, a target far below what NGOs and analysts hoped for.

[...]

“This level of ambition [by China] is clearly disappointing, and given China’s immense footprint, it makes reaching the world’s climate goals significantly more challenging,” the climate commissioner said on Thursday morning.

“We will continue to push China (and others) to go beyond the current level of ambition, and respect our joint commitments under the Paris Agreement,” he said.

Analysts shared Hoekstra’s disappointment.

[...]

“With the EU and others still struggling to row forward, China could be hoisting its sails and leading the way,” said Kate Logan, director of the China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute. Instead, the “underwhelming” 7-10% target represented a missed opportunity to deliver real leadership, she said.

[...]

This assessment echoed comments by Belinda Schäpe, a China policy analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, who spoke immediately after Xi’s announcement.

The 7-10% emission cut was “far below what would be required to align with the Paris Agreement targets,” Schäpe said, arguing that the required CO2 reduction would have been around 30%, compared to 2024 levels.

[...]

I'm disagree with her statement because china produce lot goods for EU and they build lor renewable energie a lot to reduce their footprint beside having one of the largest population in the world.

Yes they can do better but i think they are doing a good job.

At this point, if you're still clinging to some hope of mitigating - or god forbid, solving - the climate catastrophe, you're dangerously delusional.

Want to know the big secret the "elite" aren't telling you? The grand conspiracy?
We're all going to fucking die, them included, and there is no escape. That's why they're suddenly robbing everyone blind (even moreso than before). They know the jig's up and want to squeeze the lemon for what little juice in it is left.

Fact is we're simply doomed. Which is bad enough, but spending the last years or decades of a livable earth as serfs to these people is an idea I can barely tolerate. I can only hope that the backlash will be harsh and bloody when it finally happens. And it will.

Well, not all people will die. Some will survive and the elite are just trying to make sure they're the ones to survive.


China leads nations with new climate plans, defying U.S. climate denial


in reply to ZeroCool

“Trump wants fossil fuels and the United States is indeed a powerful petro-state,” Bremmer said. “But letting China become the world’s sole powerful electro-state is the opposite of making America great again … at least if you care about the future.”


One thing i've come to understand is that america does not at all seem to care even the slightest bit about having a future. Which, in my opinion, is super weird because it says in the bible (that the christians revere so much) that "when your messiah comes [for the second time] and you happen to have a sapling in your hand, plant the sapling first, then go see the messiah". Which means, especially if you consider it to be the "end times", that doesn't mean you should just not care about what happens after. You should still plant the tree, even if it takes 20 years for it to grow up and produce meaningful amounts of fruit.

But i guess something about wanting to have a future is "communist" or something.

These are absurdly modest goals considering that their previous 2030 pledges are on track to be achieved by 2027, and these 2035 goals by 2028. All of these goals without any growth in renewables, just continuing pace. They (or I guess someone else) would literally need to nuke their solar production plants from orbit to fail on this track.

Unclear why make such modesty. Invite US to think more fossil fuel investment is smart?

Summer 2025 is the warmest on record for the UK


Press release

Provisional Met Office statistics confirm that summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK.

Analysis by Met Office climate scientists has also shown that a summer as hot or hotter than 2025 is now 70 times more likely than it would be in a ‘natural’ climate with no human caused greenhouse gas emissions.

The UK’s mean temperature from 1 June to 31 August stands at 16.10°C, which is 1.51°C above the long-term meteorological average. This surpasses the previous record of 15.76°C, set in 2018, and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top five warmest summers in a series dating back to 1884.

Met Office scientist Dr Emily Carlisle said: “Provisional Met Office statistics show that summer 2025 is officially the warmest on record with a mean temperature of 16.10°C, surpassing the previous record of 15.76°C set in 2018.

“The persistent warmth this year has been driven by a combination of factors including the domination of high-pressure systems, unusually warm seas around the UK and the dry spring soils. These conditions have created an environment where heat builds quickly and lingers, with both maximum and minimum temperatures considerably above average.” 

1976, which had a mean temperature of 15.70°C, has now dropped out of the top five warmest summers since records began in 1884, leaving all five warmest summers having occurred since 2000.
