And as for my past activism, I was the youngest member of the anti-nuclear Clamshell Aliiance, and a founder of the #ThomasMorton Alliance -- a pagan group whose motto was "Earth Religion, Earthly Concerns". Another TMA founder was a Wiccan feminist. Another was a Native American activist. I met both of them through the Clamshell Alliance years ago. During the mid-late 1980s, we worked with #HumanRights groups and even collaborated with the local #EarthFirst group. Unfortunately, tragedy tore our group apart, but several members went on to become journalists (I was one of them), and continued to participate and organize events. I'm not as active as I used to be, but thanks to the internet, I know things were even worse than I suspected...

So, some of you may be wondering where my handle comes from. "Doomsday" is my nickname from high school -- because I was aware even in the early 1980s that humans were trashing the planet, and would pay the price if they didn't stop (and nuclear weapons are the ultimate in pollution, and yes, nuclear plants and weapons go hand-in-hand). As for the "CW"? It didn't stand for "Content Warning" (though that's approrpriate). The "CW" stood for "Conspiracy Watch," and my original FB page was originally about calling out some of the more ridiculous conspiracy theories floating around at the time (2010). And then the #Fukushima meltdown happened, and I realized that those who were whistleblowers, were being censored and branded as conspiracy theorists. That's when my investigative journalist antennae started buzzing, and what was meant to be satire was turning into reality. I mean, I was aware that big corporations did bad things to cover up stuff (Silkwood), but the Fukushima coverup went all the way to the top (Obama and Hillary Clinton knew how bad things were, but only told their close friends. And yes, I FOIA'ed the emails, and have copies). I also discovered that #TEPCO was rejecting potential technologies to deal with #FukushimaWater rather than dumping it in the ocean, but hey, they thought they were "too expensive" (at what cost a living ocean?). I moved DoomsdaysCW to the BirdSite in 2014, and came over to Mastodon in November 2022. I just wanted to let folks know where the moniker comes from -- and why I'm sometimes snarky with a dark sense of humor. And as for the topics I post about? I've been posting about them even before FB and birdsite, and started the first online 'zine back in 1994 with my friends (where I wrote about a lot of the same issues I write about now). And regarding the current state of the planet? I honestly can't believe we let things go this far -- and yet, I can believe it. The merger of corporations and government made sure everything was greenwashed and covered up, and now we're all paying the price.

Ohio Train Derailment Could Bring Cancer Risk, Millions in Damage

(Bloomberg)

"Nearly two weeks after a train carrying #carcinogenic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, the extent of the damage to the nearby community is still unclear. Railroads face a traffic backlog and operator Norfolk Southern Corp. could rack up tens of millions of dollars in costs.

"Though residents have been allowed to return to their homes, many remain concerned about the long-term environmental effects of the Feb. 3 accident. Some of them watched from a distance as a fiery cloud blazed above the wreckage after Norfolk Southern, in conjunction with authorities, decided to intentionally vent and burn some of the railcars to avoid a potential explosion.

“'I’ve had discussions with some people who live right near ground zero who are hesitant to come back,' said James Wise, a local attorney who filed a class-action lawsuit against Norfolk Southern on behalf of some residents. 'There are people with young children and they don’t know what effects it’s going to have.'"

Hello, Mastodonians and #fediverse peeps in general.

This toot is written to be a form of reflective introspection.

Have you noticed how many politicians keep saying that their intentions are to deal with human-caused climate change by "sometime in the future"?

And yet, right here, right now - we (the majority) are still burning as many fossil fuels as ever. The majority of people (in fuel-powered economies) are still filling up our vehicles with diesel and petrol ("gas" in the USA).

The industries are still looking for, manufacturing, and investing in more fossil fuels. The sales in wood fuels are increasing as fossil fuels become more expensive (& fossil fuel industries make record profits).

Have you noticed how many politicians keep saying that their intentions are to deal with human-caused climate change by "sometime in the future"?

They're, in general, lying! (e.g., many politicians have close connections to the fuel industries)

"*Internal* Fossil Fuel Industry *Memos* Reveal Decades of Corporate Disinformation" https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/climate-deception-dossiers

This is how it can be - how it already could (just about) have been "100% Clean and Renewable Wind, Water, and Sunlight All-Sector Energy Roadmaps for 139 Countries of the World" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2017.07.005

First, the industries tried to suppress the science that burning fossil fuels was heating up the climate. + cultures (average person) in general self-repress the medical evidence regarding how air pollution, and how their vehicles - are harming everyone's health (simply - they don't want to know)

They (the majority- country dependent) blame the climate protesters for stopping traffic. For demonstrating against air-polluting, harmful activities - rather than accepting the truth.

Traffic pollution (air pollution) causes brain damage: Retrospective cohort study. The British Journal of Psychiatry, 219(6), 678-685. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.2021.119

Second, the industries and associated politicians speak climate "blah blah blah" (virtue signaling. i.e., moral grandstanding)

Have you noticed how many rich politicians & eco-damaging businesses keep saying that - their intentions are to deal with their own ecologically damaging activities and polluting products - but, by "sometime in the future"? (not specifically now. "maybe? in twenty years!", etc)

And yet, those that have been paying attention over the last decade - have noticed an obvious pattern - these same (personality types of) politicians & industries have been saying this "blah blah blah" for decades. If that is not deception? what is? (rhetorical question)

They really are habitual liars. They don't value honesty - they value being rich & they make profits by selling fuels & or investing money in fuel corporations. It's that simple!

"The H Factor of Personality
Why Some People are Manipulative, Self-Entitled, Materialistic, and Exploitive—And Why It Matters for Everyone" https://www.wlupress.wlu.ca/Books/T/The-H-Factor-of-Personality

Right here, right now - we (the majority) are still burning as many fossil fuels as ever. We are still filling up our vehicles with diesel and petrol ("gas" in the USA). The industries are still looking for, manufacturing, and investing in more fossil fuels. The sales of wood fuels are increasing as fossil fuels become more expensive (& fossil fuel industries are making record profits).

"The effects of human-caused global warming are happening now, are irreversible for people alive today, and will worsen as long as humans add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere" https://climate.nasa.gov/effects/

Even when renewable energy systems are installed on the electrical network - they are often in addition to the burning of fuels - not replacing them. That's china's general policy.

For example, the UK has one of the largest wood-burning power stations in Europe (DRAX - a big industry making lots of money from deforestation). And the same forms of deception can be seen on the https://www.drax.com/ website.

They are habitual liars - they know that woodfuel isn't, to quote the DRAX website "sustainable biomass" (i.e., burning wood).

They are simply doing the same greenwashing they did with fossil fuels - with woodfuel.

The science is clear - burning wood is extremely harmful to human health. "Use of wood stoves and risk of cancers of the upper aero-digestive tract: a case-control study Conclusion: “use of wood stoves may be linked to as many as 30% of all cancers occurring in the region”. https://doi.org/10.1093/ije/27.6.936

The science is clear - burning wood (biomass) is a leading cause of climate heating, deforestation, wildlife extinction, soil erosion, etc.

"It’s time to stop "pretending" [deception & denial] burning forest biomass is carbon neutral" https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.12716

The woodfuel & fossil fuel industries aren't stupid - they know that their products are extremely harmful. Criminals understand they're causing harm - but do it anyway (for money).

Before ‘raw water,’ radium water was the craze — and then people died
"When a Tribune reporter paid Gable a visit in 1932, the Chicago-area resident offered his visitor a highball, assuring him that 'the reported deaths from drinking radium water are due not to the presence of radium, but rather to a cheap (radioactive) substitute, mesothorium.'" #Coverups #NoNukes

Government accountability in question. If government misrepresented fatal police shootings, where are the checks and balances?

Oh, I forget, the people who are the guardians, the politicians in the Congress, are the ones first to support cover-ups for support from the Police Unions.

#RCMP Lucki, be a' #lying (again 🤑).

Is it a prerequisite to be a pathological liar & deflector of truth, to get top brass job with Canada's original genocide agents & corporate mercenary OGs? Sure seems that way.
