Nebraska Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Quote LONDON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - One child is being admitted for medical treatment for malnutrition every minute in Somalia as severe drought threatens to cause the deaths of children on a scale not seen in half a century, a spokesperson for UNICEF said on Tuesday. The situation in Somalia already looks worse now than in 2011, the spokesperson told a briefing in Geneva, when famine killed more than 250,000 people in the Horn of Africa country. https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/10/1129642#:~:text=Latest rates reveal some 44%2C000,%2C” said Mr. Elder. https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/one-child-minute-being-admitted-malnutrition-treatment-somalia-unicef-2022-10-18/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Climeworks verifies that it captured and stored CO2 for Microsoft, Stripe, and Shopify - The Verge Quote In 2021, Climeworks opened up the world’s largest direct air capture (DAC) plant, called Orca, which essentially filters carbon dioxide out of the ambient air. That captured carbon is then supposed to be trapped in basalt rock formations permanently, keeping the greenhouse gas from lingering in our atmosphere and heating up the planet. some good news? maybe? ish? article points out that this is basically just mimicking what forests do and yeah, that's right. so maybe we just need to stop cutting down the forests instead. idk, big brain thinking over here i know, but just sorta...seems obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft, for one, pledged in 2020 to eventually draw down all of its historic emissions. The company has contracts to remove at least 2.5 million metric tons of CO2 (about 18 percent of its total emissions in fiscal year 2021), according to its latest environmental sustainability report. That includes forestry projects and direct air capture. Quote Orca alone has the capacity to capture just 4,000 tons annually; all of the world’s operational DAC plants combined can capture 0.01 million metric tons of CO2 a year. Much larger facilities are currently under construction. according to NASA https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3020/how-much-carbon-dioxide-are-we-emitting/ Quote In 1900, almost 2 billion metric tons of CO2 were released due to fossil fuel usage. By 1960, that number had more than quadrupled to over 9 billion metric tons. The latest data from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center shows that over 35 billion metric tons of CO2 were released in 2014. * 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
may be rude Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 we're continuing to get worse at the time when we need to be reversing the direction this is the path to either: A) the worst case scenario projected B) even worse than the worst case scenario projected 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlemflolia Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 "oh no why are things getting worse" "no we need to maintain decentralized private ownership of the means of production beholden to absolutely no authorities and asserting their profit maximizing will through state-provided services of violence" at this point if you're not advocating radical eco-communism you are a reactionary who wants climate change to continue unabated. if you are a liberal you are by definition an eco-fascist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
