This year’s UN conference in Azerbaijan is being massively hijacked by the oil and nuclear lobby! Environmentalists warn a month before the start signal for ‘greenwashing’ and nuclear storms.
With massive criticism, Greenpeace is trying to draw attention to the massive environmental crimes and human rights violations in the self-proclaimed Central Asian “petrostate”! “In the background, the fossil lobby is already trying to exert enormous pressure,” warns Alexander Egit, European head of the environmental movement.
From November 11 to 22, the main focus in the capital Baku will be on financing measures against global warming. However, the international community has not yet managed to agree on a binding target on this point. After all, there is a fight for $100 billion in eco-relief funds.
Anyway, the nuclear fission fungus is rampant in Brussels. Although the demand for a tripling of global renewable energy capacity is within the EU’s negotiating mandate, some countries openly rely on ‘clean’ nuclear energy sources. Sweden, for example, wants to start building a new reactor in 2026. Italy (which decided to phase out nuclear energy after the Chernobyl disaster in 1987) is making ‘radioactive’ plans with, among others, the American energy company Westinghouse. And from now on, Poland wants to work closely with the Czech Republic (near the Austrian border) in the field of nuclear energy. Flashpoint in Central Asia: Kazakhstan has now secured the construction of its first nuclear power plant through a referendum.
As reported, Microsoft is also fully on track for nuclear energy! To secure its own energy supply, the American company wants to reactivate a reactor on Three Mile Island, the scene of a nuclear meltdown in 1979. Google also wants to cover its electricity needs with new nuclear reactors.
Climate change threatens Antarctic ecosystems
A new report from the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC) also warns of dramatic developments in Antarctica. Scientists are calling for the creation of protected areas to make the ecosystem more resilient.
In addition to climate change and fishing (especially krill), growing tourism and increasing microplastic pollution are also putting pressure on the fragile natural system. In the 2022/2023 season, visitor numbers in Antarctica exceeded 100,000 for the first time and microplastics were found in water samples, snow and even penguin feces. Scientists are sounding the alarm and calling for regulations.
