Huge problems continued in the flooded areas of the plain of Thessaly, Central Greece, on Monday, despite signs that the water level in the Pinios River was starting to subside even though very slowly. Storm Daniel may have stopped pouring rain in the area since last week, however, the tonnes of water from the mountains have landed in the plain and the rivers triggering unprecedented floods affecting thousands of people.

Developers are raising the dead for motorways in Cairo.

“The work is part of a mega-building campaign by President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi that is reshaping the city of some 20 million people. His government has put up massive freeways and flyovers at a furious rate.”

Today, there are over 270,000 active mining claims in #NV. From the 1930s to the 1980s, Shoshone and Paiute communities faced a barrage of open-pit mercury mining. Two projects in particular, #CorderoMine and #FortMcDermittMine, both adjacent to Shoshone and Paiute reservations, left behind a path of #destruction — and they still haven't been cleaned up. While the Cordero and Fort McDermitt Mines closed in the 1980s,

A ‘Paris Agreement for nature?

Sydney will be the host for the first Global N a t u r e P o s i t i v e Summit in early October 2024. It is is concerned with the financialisation of biodiversity ecosystems.

"The “Nature Positive” agenda promotes the financialisation of nature – that there is a monetary value to nature, that this dollar figure could define all that nature means to us, and that we can start trading plots of nature like tokens and feeding into an ecosystem service that only benefits some people, in particular economies. The decision makers for all of this would be the exact same industry players and politicians who are destroying nature for profit now."

“Nature Positive” would be a bag of tricks for them to d i s t r a c t, d e f e r , and o b s c u r e their harm for nature: “destroying your forest is okay, because we’re not destroying someone else’s.” This is not only greenwashing, it is dangerous."

"The Global Biodiversity Framework agreed to by 196 countries at the United Nations biodiversity conference last year was described as the ‘Paris agreement for nature’. It set a target of US$200 billion per year of funding to be spent on nature repair by 2030...The Summit will highlight how clear and consistent rules will enable businesses to invest in and measure projects that repair nature."

“Turning the tide like this, from nature destruction to nature repair, will require a mighty global effort, Plibersek said."

A new ecocide law in Scotland. Such a law would establish a specific crime for causing mass environmental damage.

"In 2010 she ( barrister Polly Higgins), launched a campaign for ecocide to be recognised as an international crime, saying that it “leads to resource depletion, and where there is escalation of resource depletion, war comes chasing behind. Where such destruction arises out of the actions of mankind, ecocide can be regarded as a crime against peace.”

"The draft law defines the offence as “unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts”.

“..Scotland is so known for its absolutely beautiful landscapes and its beautiful nature. There’s an emotional connection people can make with this law in Scotland.”

“Criminals who are damaging Scotland’s precious natural environment do not fear the law, and that must change."

Big Quarry or wildlife reserve?
In remote far-western Queensland lies an ancient gorge, scattered with rock carvings, that's rarely visited. Traditional owners fear it could fall victim to the world's insatiable appetite for critical minerals.

"I discovered that I can be wonderfully patient with this kind of hectoring monologue for about 17 minutes and only moderately impatient for the next 10 minutes or so. After that, however, I discovered I really can't tolerate that sort of thing at all.

And I'm afraid your aunt had me on the phone much longer than 27 minutes. So that last little bit didn't go very well." - from the linked blog below
