Reply to comment by OppenheimersGuilt in Ukraine war: Zelensky says situation in Bakhmut worsening by jacobhong

Reddit is fascinating this way. I first noticed it when Sanders was running vs Hillary. As far as Reddit was concerned Hillary never won any state and had no real support.

Now the same with this war. As far as Reddit is concerned the Russian army is hapless. A collection of old men, criminals, and disheartened conscripts begging to go home. All fighting with worse equipment that the average Ukranian farmer.

Then they ignore any information that goes against that narrative. Articles like this one will barely hit the front page of worldnews, and fall off before the day is done. This can be a bubble as bad as any.

Reply to comment by EphraimJenkins in Norway: Thunberg joins Indigenous protests against turbines. The young environmental activist says green energy cannot come at the expense of human rights. A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup

No, they can’t. The smaller their available terrain, the more likely disease outbreaks become. Worst case is that entire herds must be put down to stop the spread of disease. This is already an issue for the South Sámi herds which are operating in narrow corridors of nature that are being suffocated by infrastructure.

The reason why Greta and Norwegian environmentalists are against this is because it represents the exact type of careless mentality towards nature which has caused the global climate crisis in the first place.

>they have to clean up the mess the last government made (kinda funny nobody mention that detail

The concession to build the park was given in 2010 by NVE. This was during the Stoltenberg goverment(Workersparty/Arbeiderpartiet). So blaming the whole "mess" on "the last goverment" is incorrect. Under the Solberg goverments(Right/Høyre); Building started in 2015 and the park was fully operational in 2020.

The courts came to the verdict 11th of october 2021. The Støre goverment(Workersparty/Arbeiderpartiet) went into power 14th of october 2021. Doubt the Solberg had time to fix anything in the 3 days before transition of power.

So the current goverment is stuck cleaning up the mess made by their own political party in 2010. Not "The last goverment".

"Norgesvassdrags-og energidirektorat(NVE)ga i firevedtak av 7.juni 2010 konsesjon tilfølgendevindkraftanlegg på Fosen". Translated - Norwegian water and energy directorate gave the concession in june 7th 2010.

Reply to comment by Total_Customer_6627 in Antarctic sea ice likely shrunk to a record low last week, US researchers said Monday, its lowest extent in the 45 years of satellite record-keeping by DoremusJessup

Probably not. This place is full of doom but if you click into articles or read the scientific papers and watch interviews with the scientists themselves and not the media's BS clickbait interpretation of what they or their papers have said, none of them are presenting doomed planet malarkey because it's not the case.

E.g. This article is full of maybes, likelies, possiblies, and also notes it will be several years yet before it's understood if what's happening is really going to have any effect on anything down the line.

Even more, you see lot of people worrying about the sea ice itself melting raising the ocean levels - which is tarded because sea ice is already in the ocean and so it won't raise the ocean levels. The further details being investigated for years to come are about it possibly maybe affecting the land ice.

Reply to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called on “climate-wrecking corporations” to be held accountable through legal challenges in remarks to the Human Rights Council on Monday by DoremusJessup

Don't just hold these corporations accountable, hold the Board of Directors, CEO etc. personally accountable. They are the ones making the decisions that wreck the climate, let them pay/go to jail for them.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Macron plans 'noticeable reduction' of French troops in Africa by ArnaudAubron

Cut and run would be best case scenario, imo. It worries me because France is recalling international troops and i can't find any info on what they're future plans are. I get a few here and there will remain behind and act as an academy for future local troops, but what are the plans for the rest of them, having a picnic while military budget increases?
