In #Gaza, significant numbers protest against #Hamas. South Korea confronts lethal #wildfires, causing over two dozen deaths and widespread evacuations. Turkey experiences numerous detentions during continuing demonstrations against President Erdogan. #WhiteHouse #BBC #News

@AkaSci
If "vitamins" & "natural immunity after allowing yourself to become infected" worked, we wouldn't have needed to develop a #vaccine in the first place.
#NaturalImmunity. Brought to you by the same people who told the state of California that if they just "raked the forest", they wouldn't have these massive #wildfires each year.

Gizmodo: Conspiracy Theorists Think Mark Zuckerberg Started Myrtle Beach Wildfires. “X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has been flooded in recent days with conspiracy theories insisting the fires were started by powerful tech figures like Mark Zuckerberg as part of some dastardly attempt to turn Myrtle Beach into a so-called smart city.”
…#Trump called for the convening of a committee of high-level officials nicknamed the God Squad because it can override the landmark #EndangeredSpecies Act so that development or other projects can proceed even if they might result in an #extinction.
The cmte has rarely been convened since it was created, in 1978, through an amendment to the endangered species #law to allow for action during emergencies like #hurricanes & #wildfires.
Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]
After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.
First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate
As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.
Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.
I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.
I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]
I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine
I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.
Misinformation was rife as the wildfires spread across Los Angeles last month, and that wasn’t just happening in English language media. For @thexylom, Aorui Pi explains how platforms like WeChat and RedNote served as a vector for fake news, which may have made life harder for Chinese immigrants living in fire-affected areas.
@petergleick Love this analogy you put there.
"f you have a glass of water and you have one straw, you can drink that water and there's no real problem. But when you have 1,000 straws in that same glass of water, the glass gets drained immediately. And no matter how fast you try to refill it, you can't refill it. And that's what happened here."

"Tulare County water managers were perplexed and frustrated, noting both physical and legal barriers that make it virtually impossible for Tulare County river water to be used for southern California fires."
(also, there is no need for those water for Southern California, there are no fire needing water here right now). #water #wildfires #agriculture
Excellent, in-depth CNBC video and story about the LA #wildfires, urban #water systems, fact versus disinformation, and what should be done next.
