The melting Arctic permafrost is unleashing a 'toxic' legacy

Rising temperatures could cause huge amounts of toxic materials to seep out of sealed-off mines into waterways

An abandoned gold mine in Canada is known as a "sleeping monster" by Indigenous locals – because it contains enough arsenic to kill 1.7 trillion people.

theweek.com/environment/the-me…

The legacy of mining waste is absolutely devastating for our environment.

in reply to Gerry McGovern

Canada has a terrible record on this because we are a 'rip and ship' nation where we dig things up and give it to clever foreigners who sells back expensive things. We never clean up our mess and just keep digging

Gerry McGovern reshared this.

@Robo105
The reason they left the toxic mess behind was that they had no idea how to get rid of the chemicals safely so they buried it in the permafrost hoping this day would never come.
in reply to Pinchy63 🇨🇦

@Pinchy63 Very true and tax payer dollars will have to be used to clean it up but at least the shareholders got above average returns
in reply to Pinchy63 🇨🇦

@Pinchy63
Unfortunately, it's the way with all mining. They always leave the toxic waste behind for future generations to clean up.

!europe@feddit.org to comply with German censorship laws vis à vis Palestine/Israel


cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/12550375

Regarding Mid-East-related Comments on !europe

Hi.

In the past few days, discontent regarding mod decisions in this community has been brewing, particularly when it comes to comments on Palestine, Israel, and Israeli politics and actions. There are also misunderstandings regarding mod intention and German law. We hope to clear that up with this post.

While the servers of feddit.org are in Austria, most of the mods of this community as well as admins of this server live in Germany. Speaking of, our server admins have also posted a write-up on the same topic.

And with that, let's go:

In Germany, antisemitism is specifically sanctioned in German criminal law, both for speech and as a motivation for other criminal behavior. In addition, Germany seeks to protect the Jewish state of Israel (the so-called "Reason of State" introduced in 2008) and thus verges toward protecting Zionism as well. Certain criticism of Israel/Israelis is also categorized as "Israel-related antisemitism".

Since criminal law is involved, enforcement can mean things like police raids and device confiscations. After such police action, it does not really matter if it was appropriate or if cases are dropped or never charged: The damage is done. All told, it's not that fun.

There is also no point in engaging in discussions about the veracity of statements that could get us into legal trouble. In addition, we believe that you can express most opinions without breaking rules.

If your comment contains the following, it will be removed from this community:

  • Calling for the dissolution of Israel, or calling for a one-state solution without specifying equal rights for all people; Jewish in particular.
  • Calling for a destruction, annihilation, an end of all Zionism or the like.
  • Equating Israeli actions and (historical) Nazism.
  • The slogan "from the river..."
  • Endorsement of or justifications for Hamas or Hezbollah, or slogans or graphics positively referring to these organizations. These are considered terrorist organizations in Germany.
  • ... and obviously: Any of the common antisemitic tropes or calls to violence against Jews or Israelis

Comments will not be removed for the following:

  • Denouncing genocide.
  • Denouncing Israeli war crimes.
  • Criticizing Zionism as an ideology or political movement.
  • Referring to the current Israeli government as "criminal," "expansionist," or "far-right".

If your comment is removed nonetheless, these are not the reason. I'd also like to stress that this community was never a free-speech-absolutist zone: It is a (usually lightly) moderated community. There may also be times when bans go too far. In such cases, please DM the @EuroMod@feddit.org account (which all mods have access to).

:::spoiler To help you understand why, I'll leave an assortment of sources here (translations via DeepL).

  • A news report:
    Berlin in mid-May [2024] around 6 o'clock in the morning. A loud, continuous "banging" against the apartment door wakes student Alina T. from her sleep. [...] When her husband opens the door, several LKA officers, two employees of the district office and the SEK "storm" past him into the apartment. Puzzled, he looks at the search warrant. [...] The background to this was a Facebook entry in the student's profile: "From the river [...]


  • A legal treatise:
    In November 2023, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and for Home Affairs also issued a prohibition order against Hamas.[60] According to the order, "the slogan 'From the River to the Sea' (in German or other languages)" is a distinguishing mark of Hamas[61].
    [...] the current legal situation [regarding "Denial of Israel's right to exist"] is - contrary to what the statements of the Federal Ministry of Justice suggest[63] - anything but clear. Whether incitements to eliminate the State of Israel are prosecuted depends on the respective legal opinion and the prosecution will of the respective public prosecutor's office.


  • Press release from the previous government:
    In this context, Section 111 StGB, which covers public incitement to commit crimes, may also be relevant. Incitement to extinguish Israel's existence by force may be punishable under this provision. The same applies to calls to publicly display the Hamas flag. If Hamas attacks are publicly cheered and celebrated, this may also be punishable.
    This means that people who cheer on Hamas's actions or publicly express their sympathy with the attacks may constitute the criminal offence of "approval of criminal acts" under Section 140 of the German Criminal Code (StGB).


  • Another news report
    > In connection with the controversial Palestine Congress in Berlin, the German authorities have also imposed an entry ban on former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. "In order to prevent antisemitic and anti-Israel propaganda at the event", several entry bans have been issued, the news agency AFP learned from security sources on Sunday. One of these concerned Varoufakis.
    (Notably, Varoufakis would have spoken about one-state solutions ...)

Why so much is riding on Poland’s presidential elections.

Power in Poland rests primarily with the prime minister and parliament. But the president wields real influence by signing laws into force, or vetoing them, appointing judges and ambassadors, and helping shape foreign policy.

Presidents rarely impose their own agenda, but they can certainly frustrate the government’s.

Just created a new Europe community for everyone here in light of the Feddit.org situation


In the midst of the recent issues and drama related to Feddit.org I have recently created a replacement to the Europe community which is hosted on Feddit. For people who still want access to a Europe community even though quokk.au has defederated feddit I suggest checking out !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com. It's not as big but I hope with time it can grow and become more active.
If you have any interest I urge you to check it out.

Been pretty wild to see so much commitment to this EU citizen initiative for banning conversion therapies.

It's not just a petition, but an initiative that WILL have to get looked at by the European Commision if it reaches one million signatures. At the rate it's going, this is going to be in a couple of hours! :blobcat_party:

If you're an EU citizen and haven't signed yet, it barely takes 5 minutes!

Many clinics that provide #abortion are closing, even where it’s still #legal

#PlannedParenthood of #Michigan is giving up on 4 of its #health centers, citing #financial challenges.
Including the one in #Marquette, the only clinic that provided abortion in the vast… #UpperPeninsula. For the ~1,100 patients who visited the clinic each year for anything from #cancer screenings to #contraception implants, the next-closest Planned Parenthood will now be a ~5-hr drive south.

If a clinic could survive the fall of #RoeVWade, "you would think that resilience could carry you forward," said Brittany Fonteno, president & CEO of the National #Abortion Federation.

But #clinic operators say they face new #financial strain, including rising #costs, limited reimbursement rates & growing demand for #telehealth services.

Experts say the closures indicate that #financial & operational challenges, rather than future #legal bans, may be the biggest threats to #abortion access in states whose #laws still protect it.

"These states that we have touted as being really the best kind of versions of our vision for #ReproductiveJustice, they too struggle w/problems," said Erin Grant, a co-exec dir of the #AbortionCare Network, a national membership org for independent clinics.
