Where all that bs about 'New Tech' and further geoengineerings of our Earth system just becomes another expression of your unwillingness to change.

"Safeguarding the polar regions from dangerous geoengineering"


Well, forget it. You're stuck, in a game of inequality. There will be no safeguarding.

" The research found that the emissions from any one of the 14 biggest companies were by themselves enough to cause more than 50 heatwaves that would otherwise have been virtually impossible. The study shows, in effect, that those emissions caused the heatwaves. The carbon pollution from ExxonMobil's fossil fuels, for example, made 51 heatwaves at least 10,000 times more likely than in an unheated world, the researchers found, as did the emissions from Saudi Aramco."


Now, who would have thought?

So

"Analysis by the Guardian and Watershed Investigations shows about 3.5m tonnes of leachate are generated each year, with more than 750,000 tonnes sent to sewage works unable to deal with chemicals found in leachate such as Pfas "forever chemicals", some of which are carcinogenic, as well as PCBs, dioxins, flame retardants, solvents, endocrine disruptors, microplastics and other hazardous chemicals."

Think it has a influence? On your own well being? Pregnancy? Those kids intellectual and emotional capabilities?

Of course not. Not if it would mean that you need to lose some of your current profits, and living standards, right?

Apropos military 'drills'

"Poland said it shot down several Russian drones on Wednesday morning that reportedly crossed into its airspace during the latest wave of large-scale strikes against Ukraine. This occurred amid the ongoing Polish, Lithuanian and NATO drills involving 30,000 Polish troops, and just ahead of the upcoming Russian-Belarusian Zapad 2025 drills.

Some observers suspect that this was either a deliberate provocation by Russia or a botched reconnaissance mission - though it may have just been due to NATO jamming."
