    TINA in questo post non è un nome proprio.TINA è uno slogan e vuol dire “There Is No Alternative”Margaret Thatcher, Primo ministro del Regno Unito negli anni ’80, utilizzava frequentemente questo termine per sintetizzare la sua posizione politica ed economica: secondo lei, non esisteva alcuna alternativa praticabile alle riforme economiche di orientamento neoliberista che stava introducendo.#cop30 #climate #economy@ambiente [1/8]

    @jwildeboer shares the good news that EU greenhouse gas emissions are -37% below 1990 levels.Then gets a thread full of Eeyores responding that it must be due to delocalisation of industry to China or something.No man, it ain’t, and it can’t possibly be. It’s mostly the shift from coal power to renewables and nuclear, as well as some energy efficiency, for instance in buildings.

    Australia is still a deeply racist country when it comes to Aboriginal people.This is some of the oldest written communications on Earth.This rock art was already ~40,000 years old when the Giza pyramids were an ongoing capital works project by the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.But because Aboriginal and created it, we treat it as worthless.I can't stress this enough.This should be a source of deep and profound shame for every non-Aboriginal Australian.We, collectively, see irreplaceable 50,000 year old cultural artifacts as having less value than a tank full of petrol.Because we view Aboriginal history as essentially worthless."The oldest petroglyphs in the world are deemed to be those at Murujuga in Western Australia, which are 40,000–50,000 years old. Some petroglyphs are classified as protected monuments and some have been added to the list of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, or such status has been applied for."https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroglyph"The Albanese government agreed to weaken conditions it had proposed to protect world heritage-listed Indigenous rock art from Woodside’s giant North West Shelf gas development after the fossil fuel company argued it could be forced to shut the plant."The change is explained in a “statement of reasons” document setting out why the environment minister, Murray Watt, approved an application to extend the operating life of one of the world’s biggest and most polluting gas export developments until 2070."The statement shows Watt accepted environment department advice that “multiple lines of scientific and other evidence” suggested industrial emissions were having a “significant adverse impact” on rocks in Murujuga, a cultural landscape in northern Western Australia that is home to more than 1m pieces of rock art, known as petroglyphs."The minister also accepted advice that future pollution from the North West Shelf liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing facility could cause “degradation, damage, notable alteration, modification, obscuring or diminishing” of the area’s natural heritage."..."Watt provisionally ruled in May that Woodside could continue operating the LNG plant beyond 2030 only if it cut acidic pollution – particularly nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide – so that there were no air emissions “above the detectable limit” that affect rock art."But Woodside responded this was “not technically feasible”. It said the conditions were an “effective refusal” of the development that would lead to the “cessation of business as usual operations” at the end of 2030.#auspol #wapol #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Australia #Perth #WesternAustralia #capitalism #business #ausbiz
