Firefighting foam, one of the key sources of PFAS pollution in Lake Zug, was historically made with PFOS + PFOA. Both these varieties of PFAS are now internationally banned due to links to cancers, ulcerative colitis, liver, thyroid+ kidney disorders.

Moreover this vote shows shameless politicking of EPP siding with far-right groups in European Parliament to push through its disastrous #deregulation agenda that cuts protections for people and planet.

It's another step forward towards Trumpification of EU politics & should worry us greatly.

⚠️Scrapping of mandatory climate transition plans

Sobre esto que comenta @hdlg.bsky.social, acabo de echar los números de lo que costaría mi formación a precios actuales. Y suma casi 150.000 €. A mis 41, no he pagado esa cifra en impuestos ni por asomo.

Que la gente joven tenga la percepción de no haberse beneficiado de los impuestos es un drama.

2. Por otra parte la mayoría de gente joven no ha podido disfrutar de los beneficios de los impuestos. Enferman menos asi que no valoran la sanidad, pagan seguridad social pero no están jubilados, casi no han cobrado el paro... y el gasto en vivienda pública es casi inexistente

But then Michelle Sneed (former USGS hydrologist) did a series of them around the central valley, because they are an excellent data visualization and science communication tool to convey the magnitude of change. These are a few examples.

For some reason it bothers me a lot that this doesn't acknowledge that this graphic is a remake of two sets of very important USGS historical photos documenting & visualizing land subsidence from groundwater withdrawals in CA's Central Valley.

Yes, the USGS work is public domain, but still.
You may not feel it, but the ground beneath you may be sinking.

In fact, the surface of California’s Central Valley is nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago.

Why is this happening? Because our planet is rapidly drying. THREAD/

What do frying pans, lipsticks, waterproof gear & firefighting foam have in common? They may all contain PFAS, aka forever chemicals!

The thing that happens with PFAS (and that the signing scientists make very clear) is that we keep getting obfuscation by conflating science with policy-making decisions, oftentimes in bad faith.
The chemical industry is deploying every weapon in its arsenal to fight efforts to regulate harmful forever chemicals, including calling into question the very definition of what PFAS are, writes Watershed's @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social

Scientists warn against attempts to change definition of ‘forever chemicals’
Move to narrow classification of Pfas and weaken regulation is ‘politically and/or economically motivated’

Os invito a ver este vídeo que hice a una pareja de osos pardos el pasado domingo en las montañas de Asturias. Como puede verse, el macho es casi el doble de tamaño que la hembra. Afortunadamente, aunque su población sigue en peligro, se está recuperando bien. Disfrutadlo.
