"[A]mongst those of us privileged enough to fly, and make decisions about energy policy that will impact others more than ourselves, we appear oblivious to the catastrophe we are seemingly complicit in. Cognitive dissonance or a deliberate attempt to maintain privilege and global inequalities?"

"what I find most disturbing is that the use of aviation remains typically unquestioned, placing increasing pressure on other industries to move more quickly, despite its dominant use by a privileged minority." - Prof. @aliceclimate.bsky.social

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

This is a 12-year-old boy who was SHOT TWICE gathering food for his family and then BEATEN UNCONSCIOUS by Israeli forces in Gaza. He's just a kid. Soccer is his favorite sport. Lionel Messi is his hero.

A Palestinian child was being killed or injured every 10 minutes, according to UN agencies.

A protester who was threatened with arrest under the Terrorism Act for holding a Palestine flag and signs saying “free Gaza” and “Israel is committing genocide” has received an apology from police, including for “unlawful false imprisonment”.

And damages.

While Israeli media claims with ambiguous language that the IOF soldiers captured by Al-Qassam Brigades were “tortured”, Palestinian civilian hostages detail actual torture by Israel, including:
- Being shot in the back and genitals with rubber bullets
- Regular electrocutions

Al Jazeera news snippet:

• Mon, Oct 13 | 30 minutes ago
Palestinians held in Israeli jails
'tortured multiple times a day'
A recently released detainee has condemned Israeli jails as "prisons of injustice"
He told Al Jazeera correspondent Tariq Abu Azzoum that most of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are tortured more than once a day.
Inmates were fired at by Israeli troops with rubber-coated bullets and because of that he had "deep wounds around his private parts and back". Many detainees were also electrocuted, he added.

Al Jazeera news snippet, continued:

"We were detained in a slaughterhouse.
Speaking at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza after being freed, he said the Palestinians of Gaza remain
"brave and steadfast".
"We have sacrificed a lot but our sacrifices are too little compared to others," the man said.
He thanked "God, the Palestinian people, and the resistance fighters in Gaza" for securing his release.

Israel is still holding thousands of living hostages, many for far longer than 2 years - men, women & children abducted & held without trial. Why are the Palestinians invisible here? What is it about Palestinians that makes them unworthy of inclusion in your concept of living hostages?

🚨 None of the UN IPCC models capture what NASA satellites are seeing.

We should assume and prepare for the worst, as there is a non-zero chance of 3°C of global warming by 2050.

We better assume that it will happen and/or try to make sure that it doesn't happen.

Yes, it’s far from great but it’s definitely a departure from the usual platitudes and cliches we’ve been getting from conservation organisations and it uses some much more direct language. 👍

It will be the first step in determining whether anyone deserves to be listened to, taken seriously, or voted for. Their comments on Gaza in the mid-2020s will be the first gate through which they must pass to be considered worthy of attention by normal people.

The Gaza holocaust will be a litmus test for high-profile figures for decades. Everyone's comments or lack thereof on Israel's genocidal atrocities will be looked up and amplified whenever their name rises to public attention.
