Plusieurs catastrophes en Méditerranée ces derniers jours.
Les pluies diluviennes et #inondations en Espagne et Grèce sont aggravées par le changement climatique. Ce n'est pas le cas du #séisme au Maroc qui est un évènement naturel sans lien avec les activités humaines.
Même si des séismes de magnitude faible à modérée peuvent être déclenchés par l'homme, par exemple lors d'exploitations pétrolières, la très grande majorité des séismes destructeurs sont naturels et liés au fonctionnement géologique des failles et à la #tectonique des plaques.
Les #séismes comme celui du Maroc sont des aléas naturels. La #catastrophe arrive lorsque ils se combinent à la #vulnérabilité importante des constructions.
En cela, il n'y a pas de vraie "catastrophe naturelle", il y a toujours un facteur humain pour passer de l'#aléa au désastre.
Pensées et courage aux populations affectées ♥️

#RegulatoryCapture: Public Health Watch and its partner, The Texas Tribune, discovered that the #EPA and #Texas had ignored warning signs at ITC for nearly two decades prior to the 2019 #catastrophe. After the #fire was extinguished, dangerous levels of the #carcinogen benzene infused nearby #neighborhoods for weeks while residents unknowingly went about their daily lives.

In #Yemen, the #UN has averted an environmental #catastrophe by removing over 1,000,000 barrels of #oil from an ageing tanker. The tanker contained four times as much oil that was spilled in the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster off the Alaskan coast.

“They exist at the edge of human #life in an #environment that is treated like a #toxic dumping ground by foreign #mining #companies. Millions of #trees have been #clearcut, dozens of villages razed, rivers and air #polluted, and #arable land destroyed. Our daily #lives are powered by a #human and #environmental #catastrophe in the #Congo.”

The Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience is the first independent #DiamondOpenAccess journal of #catastrophe risk. For those unfamiliar with Diamond Open Access, it means #JCRR is a free, online digital journal designed to enable an open and transparent exchange of research, knowledge and ideas.
We're excited to be here on Mastodon, and we're looking forward to making connections; if you have any ideas for articles, please get in touch!

Do you remember? In the past? When the #working class wasn't to blame for the #climate #catastrophe? When it was still good style not to believe the lies of the TV stations. There were still the owners of #Shell, #Exon, #BP the bad guys, this one percent that owns everything and the others die of hunger. What we were blinded at that time! A high on #capitalism! Death to the #poor!

How probable is human #catastrophe or #extinction over the next century?
☢️ or 🦠 or 🤖 🟰 💀❓
Well, artificial intelligence, nuclear event and engineered pathogens seem to raise the highest concerns.
Check the full report recently published by the Forecasting Research Institute (#OpenAccess). They interviewed *superforecasters*, i.e. historically accurate forecasters on short-run questions, and *experts* on nuclear war, climate change, AI, biological risks, and existential risk more broadly. (Note: be aware that this is an north-american based report.)
The results are fascinating. In general, the domain experts are more negative than the superforcasters: 20% and 6% versus 9% and 1% chances of catastrophe or extinction, respectively.
The Economist put forward a nice graphic with a summary of the results, divided by type of threat.

#kleptocracy: the ore that these #children are digging that has #cobalt in it often has traces of #radioactive #uranium. So, the #publichealth #catastrophe on top of the #humanrights #violence on top of the #environmental #destruction is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the #moderncontext. And the fact that it is linked to #companies worth #trillions and that our lives depend on this #enormous #violence has to be dealt with.
