> In October 2019, an uprising exploded throughout Chile. For a while, the police and armed forces lost control. Seeking to placate the rebels, the government announced a plebiscite about whether to replace the constitution, a relic of the far-right dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. A majority of the parties in congress drew up a roadmap for this process, calling it the “Agreement for Social Peace.” In May 2021, elections to determine who would participate in the constitutional process were hailed as a victory for “independent” politics—though we expressed concern that this process would chiefly serve to pacify social movements, pointing out that today, it is much easier to rally opposition to a government than it is to make change via state institutions. As it turned out, in the plebiscite of September 4, 2022, a majority of Chileans voted to reject the proposed constitution—shocking many Chilean leftists, who had not expected such a resounding defeat.

Citizens in Decatur, Illinois, are alarmed to hear there were two leaks in the CCS plant run by Archer-Daniel-Midlands.
> But if CCS operations leak, they can pose significant risks to water resources. That’s because pressurized CO2 stored underground can escape or propel brine trapped in the saline reservoirs typically used for permanent storage. The leaks can lead to heavy metal contamination and potentially lower pH levels, all of which can make drinking water undrinkable. This is what bothers critics of carbon capture who worry that it’s solving one problem by creating another.

Mushrooms Might Save the World: A Hidden Solution to Pollution and Climate Challenges

There's no long term knowledge about fungus stuff once processed into these new forms.
Just to clarify that the fungus stuff is just mycelium. It is a totally natural product that is in this case foam-like. It is not processed, just dried at specific temperatures.
As they mention in this article:
these earplugs are made from Forager’s mycelium foam – and nothing else. This means they can break down in weeks to months,
“GOB’s earplugs are USDA Certified Biobased and entirely made from mycelium, a natural material that breaks down as easily as the produce you eat,”

The Ghanaian government is set to repeal its controversial pro-mining legislation, following weeks of demonstrations against environmentally disastrous mining, including the threat of a nationwide labor strike.
In November 2022, the government issued LI 2462, a directive allowing mining in forest reserves, including biodiversity hotspots. Mongabay previously reported on how LI 2462 threatened to exacerbate the extensive harm from mining to Ghana’s environment. According to the Ghana Institute of Foresters (GIF), mining leases were granted over about 390,000 hectares (964,000 acres), a fifth of the country’s forests, in the year following its passage.

The ruling party introduced legislation to repeal LI 2462 in parliament on October 15.
I think it's a pity you say so. Was there maybe something specific in the video that made you think that?
Naturopathic medicine does not deny the efficacy of western medicine. On the contrary, more often than not, they are used side-by-side. Chemotherapy is one example during which some people use tinctures or oils to handle the nausea and other side effects that come with it.
To my knowledge, all pharmaceutical products come from the natural world (plants, mushrooms etc). I don't see a reason to deny this relation, even if these compounds are separated in a laboratory. In cases that they are synthetic - totally created in a lab - they mimic a specific natural compound, at least to my understanding.
Apart from that nowadays there is a significant amount of research that is already in place and supports the use of medicinal mushrooms. For example here is some of the research done in relation to a mushroom mentioned in this podcast, called lion's mane:
- 137 results from drugs.com
- 1564 results of articles from Science Direct - these results are not all related to medicine.
It would be great if these approaches would actually contribute in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the case.
This is an article with some relevant info:
Climeworks’ “Mammoth” vacuum cleaner is not a solution to the climate crisis
Climeworks’ newest DAC plant, Mammoth, is purported to capture ten times the amount of CO2 as Orca; some 36,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. (...) If 36,000 tonnes sounds like a big number, it’s not: It equates to one one-millionth of our annual global emissions. Even if Climeworks and other DAC companies do build hundreds of these DAC plants, it would not equate to even one per cent of current annual global emissions.
From our world in data on CO2 emissions:
we now emit over 35 billion tonnes each year
May I add that these notes where provided to the NYT by the Israeli military?

It looks like the U.S. Journalist Jeremy Loffredo was released
Although an Israeli judge granted his release from police custody, he was ordered to remain in the country until October 20, allowing investigators more time to bring additional allegations or to further interrogate Loffredo,
Israeli police had held Loffredo, an independent journalist from New York, on suspicion of assisting an enemy in war, a serious allegation that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or death,
“The claim that Loffredo and The Grayzone represent Israel’s enemy in wartime merely suggests that the Israeli government views the American people and free press as a legitimate target,”
The statement also called on the U.S. State Department to come to Loffredo’s defense, saying that the U.S. “has an obligation to defend its journalists who are merely adhering to their ethical obligation to inform the public of pertinent facts.”
Desalination is not rocket science, it's something that people have been doing for hundreds of years, maybe thousands. Of course when it is done on a larger scale, it is done differently that in diy solutions but both approaches have one common problem (regardless of the the technic used, distillation or reverse osmosis): they are energy intensive.
The innovation that this collaboration created is in relation to the specific problem that this process has. The improvement is that not only they used solar power for this process but they actually eliminated the need for batteries. This means that they came up with a solution that tackles the actual problem desalination has. Apart from that they, they successfully tested it in the real world and it looks like they are launching a company in the next months, so it will be available to those who need it.
One desired outcome — if the movement were to gain enough support — would be to deprive big-time polluters such as BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Shell of the funds they need to keep investing in new oil and gas fields.
In relation to the above passage of the article, here is what the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement has to say about Chevron:
Chevron has been the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by Israel in the Eastern Mediterranean since it acquired Noble Energy in 2020. With its extracting activities, Chevron is implicated in Israel's policy and practice of depriving the Palestinian people of their right to sovereignty over their natural resources. Chevron’s extraction activities generate billions of dollars in revenue for apartheid Israel and its war chest, helping to fund the ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, as well as its regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid and military occupation. Chevron fuels apartheid and environmental devastation.
The BDS Movement issued a call to boycott both Siemens and Chevron in 2022, with campaigning around Chevron previously focused on divestment. Now, we are calling on supporters of Palestinian rights and climate justice to escalate pressure on Chevron by boycotting Chevron gas stations and gas stations owned by Chevron, including Texaco and Caltex. There are thousands of Chevron, Texaco, and Caltex gas and petrol stations worldwide. (...)

I believe your response is more accurate. In my reply, I assumed that @punkisundead was referring to the fabricated narrative of the Israeli officials. It looks like my assumption was wrong.
why we should trust the other claims in this article?
You shouldn't trust this article or any media. You should check their claims and decide for yourself depending on what you find. I did this and found out that these claims have been debunked time and time again.

Israel’s siege now blocks 83% of food aid reaching Gaza, new data reveals
New data has revealed the scale of aid obstruction, and the consequential drastic fall in aid entering Gaza. This is driving a humanitarian disaster, with the entire population of Gaza facing hunger and disease, and almost half a million at risk of starvation.
Data analysis by organisations working in Gaza has found that as a consequence of the Israeli government's obstruction of aid:
- 83% of required food aid does not make it into Gaza, up from 34% in 2023.This reduction means people in Gaza have gone from having an average of two meals a day to just one meal every other day. An estimated 50,000 children aged between 6-59 months urgently require treatment for malnutrition by the end of the year.
- 65% of the insulin required and half of the required blood supply are not available in Gaza.
- Availability of hygiene items has dropped to 15% of the amount available in September 2023. One million women are now going without the hygiene supplies they need.
- Only around 1,500 hospital beds in Gaza remain operational, compared to around 3,500 beds in 2023 which was already well below sufficient to meet the needs of a population of more than 2 million people. By comparison, cities of similar size, such as Chicago and Paris average 5 to 8 times more beds than in Gaza.
- 1.87 million people are in need of shelter with at least 60% of homes destroyed or damaged (January 2024). Yet tents for around just 25,000 people have entered Gaza since May 2024.
The IDF targets hospitals because they WANT to target hospitals.

For a year the Biden administration has given carte blanche to a genocidal zionist who is the head of an apartheid regime that the US has been supporting for so many decades, regardless of who was in power. What did they expect from Netanyahu? Loyalty to the party?
Thanks for sharing this cause what he says and what AP reports are quite different. And I'm saying that not being a fan of him, on the contrary.
My experience with this title/article was similar but ended with me wondering what was I expecting from a title like that, and kinda laughing about it. That's mainly why I thought of sharing it, I mean sure the recipes seem great too.
Btw sorry you got disappointed tho, I hope not too much.
I don't understand this logic. You claim that the US is supporting by all means a genocide because it's election year and out of fear of being called antisemites by the republicans? Therefore, after the elections this genocide will not be supported by the democrats anymore?
I'm sorry, this doesn't make any sense to me.
I think that if the democrats win this election there is a decent chance the US could start slowly pulling support.
Why do you think that? Did I miss something perhaps? I haven't seen a hint from democrats during the past year up to now to support this claim. On the contrary, they actively send Israel tones of bombs and money to genocide Palestinians, and no matter what "red lines" the Biden administration puts on the matter, soon after they forget about them. And Harris (if I remember correctly) she said she will continue the same policy.
