Israel has transferred hundreds of Palestinian detainees out of the shadowy detention facility of Sde Teiman

...but they'll still be illegally detained (and possibly tortured some more) somewhere else

Secret camps with abuses during a racially motivated genocide - remember Israel's unofficial motto: "Never again to us..." - but they're seemingly okay doing it to others.

racially motivated genocide

Sorry what?

Think about how much they got away with before the internet made it possible to scrutinize their activities.

Put that into context of governments seeking to restrict access to information: the US ban on TikTok for instance.

Social media is truly the bane of israel. Mostly because their soldiers keep posting their own war crimes on it.

Any allegation of misconduct by IDF soldiers is examined and dealt with accordingly. In appropriate cases, MPCID (Military Police Criminal Investigation’s Division) investigations are opened when there is suspicion of misconduct justifying such action.”

For anyone curious israel never punishes their Nazis for Nazi'ing around in concentration camps. Dealt with accordingly = promotion.

Higher temperatures have been recorded last year but I think the heat is starting earlier this year?

Don't worry Pakistan Greenpeace banned nuclear power and brought back coal, that will save you from the ravages of global warming

Hats off to delivery people, soldiers, guards, roadside sellers for not dying in this heat apocalypse

Welcome to Pakistan, we have:

  • drunken COAS with nukes
  • smog
  • the hot
  • fresh fruit

Hm, strange. I wonder if there's anything we can do about it?

You know, CNN... I'm American. I don't really know the Celsius temperature scale all that well. But at least wait until the body before you assume I'm too stupid or lazy to just look it up. Either that or just use Fahrenheit in the headline.

Rhaedas ,

The objective method is to put one of them in parentheses. But that removed the shock effect that they're going for with the second sentence. I don't really use Celsius and have to remind myself what's what, but I think it's pretty common to know that 100C is boiling water, and half of that is pretty bad.

anticolonialist ,

Double the number, add 30 = Fahrenheit

I mean, that should put a hamper in terrorist activities. Climate change silver lining.

Nah, more SUVs

systemglitch ,

I'm with you, but it's not the SUVs that are causing the problem, it's the fucking corporations that contribute over 80% of the harmful emissions.

But fuck SUVs and big ass trucks.

blazera ,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I start to wonder if corporate executives themselves arent responsible for this myth that the meaningful bulk of emissions comes from them. So consumers can feel guilt free about buying these gas guzzling chunkers, after all their choices dont have any meaningful effect on emissions.

But no, corporate headquarters doesnt have a giant smokestack spewing out those corporate emissions you hear about. Those emissions are coming from...SUV tailpipes! Transportation is the highest emissions sector in the US, and personal vehicles make up the bulk of those emissions, especially trucks and SUVs.

thejml ,

Actually, it’s electricity and heating:

https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector

Transportation is number two (by quite a bit) but don’t forget that Transportation of goods is also part of transportation.

Not saying we shouldn’t give up the SUVs, just that maybe we should use less power and heat with something cleaner as well.

RustyEarthfire ,

Definite agree with the core of what you're saying, though for US and EU (and to a lesser degree "High income countries"), the numbers are quite close, as clean grid energy is significantly outpacing electric vehicle adoption (and EVs rely on a clean grid to be clean).

Wanderer ,

What do this corporations do to cause 80% of emissions? Just burn it for fun?

No. They make products and services that people buy. Making out people play no part in this doesn't help anyone.

systemglitch ,

I mean like, duh?

StaySquared , (edited )

I find it fascinated.. one side of their mouth, they're hating corporations. Other side, they're praising the product(s) they buy from said corporations. If any of these so called, "combatants of climate change" were true to their beliefs, they'd go find a piece of wilderness and live in it.

ArmoredThirteen , to World News in Temperatures in Pakistan cross 52 degrees Celsius — that’s more than 125°F

Hottest I've ever been in is 114f iirc in a dry heat. It was brutal like "you can feel moisture evaporating out of your eyes", I felt like just sitting around I couldn't drink water as fast as I was losing it. 125 is bonkers

werefreeatlast , to World News in Temperatures in Pakistan cross 52 degrees Celsius — that’s more than 125°F

50C is near OSHA's max limit to touch safe zones which is 60C. At 60C, no matter how many seconds, you will get burnt. At 50C you can hold an object for a few seconds safely.

boonhet ,

But also keep in mind that it's usually air temperature being measured, with surface temperatures being even worse than that!
