/[ Activism for the election, maybe, it should...make it so ] /
*Can Focusing On Climate Change Help Win Elections?*
By Maggie Koerth
OCT. 17, 2022
“Our generation grew up watching as the climate crisis got worse and
worse and politicians did nothing.” That might sound like a quote from
teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, but it’s actually the opening line
for a new series of political ads appearing in multiple states in the
lead-up to the 2022 midterms — ads that the advocacy groups Climate
Power Action and the League of Conservation Voters are hoping will tip
the scales towards climate-focused Democrats.

*The Extent of the Youth's Climate Fear*
CLIMATE CHANGE
by Katharina Buchholz,
Oct 17, 2022
As intended, a climate change protest by two young activists from the
group Just Stop Oil has grabbed attention globally. The pair emptied
cans of tomato soup onto one of the famous Sunflowers paintings by Dutch
painter Vincent Van Gogh Friday at the National Gallery in London before
gluing their hands to the adjacent wall. The stunt is one of several in
which young activists have used glue to attach themselves to famous
painting all over Europe, but it is the first one to also use something
thrown at the painting. According to The New York Times, shocked
onlookers can be heard in a recording of the scene. In a speech, the
activists outlined the objective of the protest that is meant to pit
outrage over threats to the conservation of art against that over
threats to environmental conservation. The picture, which features a
protective glaze, remained unharmed according to the gallery.
Apart from showcasing that a singular attack on a famous painting is in
fact causing more of an outcry than most climate change reporting, the
event also serves as another example of how young people are
increasingly at the forefront of climate change activism. Swiftly
progressing climate change has started to be seen as an existential
threat for younger generations, as the time window to limit global
warming to 2° Celsius is rapidly closing.
A landmark study published in The Lancet last year shows to what extent
climate fear has taken hold in younger generations. Among the 10,000
16–25-year-olds surveyed in ten countries, almost 70 percent said they
were either extremely worried or very worried about climate change. This
number was even higher on average in developing countries in the global
South that are expected to bear the brunt to climate change-related
destruction. In the Philippines, a high of 84 percent of youths were
extremely or very worried, followed by 78 percent in India and 77
percent in Brazil. In Nigeria, 51 percent of young people worried a
great deal, closer to the result in the UK or Australia. Heightened
worry was lowest in the U.S. out of the ten countries at just 46 percent
– still affecting almost half of those between the ages of 16 and 25.

[ It just APPEARS to be motionless. This innovation needs quick
deployment ]
*This groundbreaking motionless wind turbine is 50% more efficient than
regular turbines*
They can generate renewable energy up to 100 percent.
Nergis Firtina Oct 13, 2022
There is plenty of room for existing solar and utility infrastructure on
a building's roof, thanks to the Aeromine system's modest footprint. It
gives owners of commercial properties a useful new weapon in their
pursuit of energy independence in the face of rising energy costs and
demand for amenities like electric vehicle charging stations.
BASF Corporation, which is evaluating the Aeromine system at its
manufacturing site in Wyandotte, MI, is one of the companies testing the
new technology.
"Creating a better way to harvest the power of wind"
Aeromine Technologies explains itself as "understanding the untapped
potential of wind energy and limitations of existing rooftop energy
options to capture it, Aeromine’s founders envisioned a better solution
that would be much more productive.
The innovation represents a significant step up over earlier dispersed
wind turbines, which are inadequate for most rooftop installations. The
creators of Aeromine have developed a significantly more efficient
method to exploit even mild wind to generate electricity for sizable,
flat rooftop structures like warehouses, data centers, office buildings,
and apartment buildings.

*Cool your home with zero electricity costs!*
27,922 views Oct 16, 2022 Solar cooling sounds like a contradiction in
terms, but it could become a household phrase in a sustainable future,
especially in off grid regions and developing nations because, if done
properly, it could reduce your home temperature by almost 10 degrees
Celsius (19 F) with no electrical input at all. Now a team at MIT has
developed the most efficient system yet.

*Big Oil pledged to fight climate change, but do their actions line up?*
Sep 24, 2022 To prevent catastrophic global warming, international
groups say there should be no new investment in fossil fuel projects.
The world's biggest energy companies support those goals publicly, but
their spending and lobbying suggest they have no plans to slow down oil
and gas development. Ali Rogin explores new data showing a disconnect
between what major industry players are saying and doing.

/[ Have we noticed that most of the insects are gone? Video from DW
documentary 1:25:22 ]/
*How chemical companies destroy ecosystems | DW Documentary*
Oct 15, 2022 Today’s industrial agriculture relies on insecticides.
These chemicals cause massive damage to the environment. Worldwide, the
most common insecticides are neonicotinoids. Deployed to destroy pests,
they also harm human health.
Thirty years ago, in the summertime, anybody driving a long distance
would have to stop every two hours or so to clear their windshield of
insects. Today, a driver can cross the whole of Europe without using the
windshield wiper even once. That’s because the total biomass of flying
insects has declined by about 75% since the 1990s. The culprit? The
massive use of neonicotinoids, so-called "systemic" insecticides that
spread throughout plant cells. They look like colorful candy and seem
harmless, but they have a highly toxic effect.
As more and more scientific studies warn of the catastrophic
consequences of the use of these neurotoxins, multinational chemical
companies are doing everything they can to cover up the causal link
between their products and mass insect death. They fund dubious studies,
put pressure on scientists and research institutions, lobby regulatory
authorities intensively, and work hard to prevent or circumvent
restrictions and bans.
Meanwhile, insect death is progressing at an unprecedented rate. And
because insects play a central role in food chains, both as pollinators
and as food for larger animals, their decimation is affecting entire
ecosystems. Fish and birds are running out of food, which increases
their own mortality rates. What’s more, recent studies show that the
chemicals also impact human health.
