    Encountering an Essential Lesson in the Church Forests of Ethiopia – Gaianism
    http://gaianism.org/essential-lesson-church-forests-ethiopia/

    Somehow, the Ethiopian Church evolved to see forests as sacred and, through the design of their institutions and teachings, embedded this directly into their system code. Church services, weddings, baptisms, community meetings—the church is at the center of all of these, and thus so is the forest. Even one’s final moment differentiated from the Gaian whole takes place here: all Ethiopian Orthodox worshippers are entitled to be buried in the church forest.

    As the articles describe, people cross themselves as they enter into the forest, as they cross the inner courtyard wall, as they enter the church and the communion circle, recognizing that with every step toward the center they enter a more holy reality. The forests, where humidity and air temperature change markedly, add to this numinous experience, so it’s not hard to imagine why now, when church forests are literal oases in the midst of a desertified agricultural system, these feel sacred. They are now both Edenic gardens and Noah’s arks.

    But 1600 years ago, when far more of Ethiopia was forested, and the forests’ permanence surely seemed unquestioned, why did this unique Christian mutation take root? That is a question I don’t have an answer for, but the more important point is that whatever the reason, it is this religious system that has essentially prevented the entire country from becoming a desert. The church forests are like the country’s appendix, holding a small reserve of healthy organisms, until the infection—in this case modern civilization—ceases and life can once again recolonize the intestines, or in this case, the land. (And if you didn’t know that about the appendix’s role in the human body, now you do!)

    This is why cultivating not just personal ecocentric spiritualities or philosophies but actual living religious systems is essential. There is far less power or longevity in a personal spirituality that is not shared, that doesn’t have a community around it, that doesn’t cultivate shared rituals, that doesn’t build institutions.

    So what does that mean for us? It means: Gaians need to build a Gaian Mission. A Gaian Church. A Gaian Guild. A religious system that will grow and endure and help get humanity through the dark age that’s most likely just over the horizon. That will preserve and spread again biodiversity and essential human knowledge like permaculture, midwifery, and basic medicine so that Gaians one day can help bring about a new flourishing of culture—but this time in a way that sustains the Earth rather than comes at the cost of the Earth. But that requires a religious system, one that nurtures congregants and nudges them: to be their best and most eco-sacred selves; to share this system with others; and above all to continually recognize our dependence on and our being part of Gaia. If we do that, perhaps one day, a millennium from now, people will write about how Gaians’ sacred preserves and stores of wisdom helped to both rewild and recivilize the world.

    Katastrofální sucho: Řežeme si pod sebou větev, místy už je poušť, varuje pedolog Vopravil | Hospodářské noviny (iHNed.cz)
    https://domaci.ihned.cz/...rofalni-sucho-rezeme-si-pod-sebou-vetev-misty-uz-je-poust-varuje-vopravil

    Na jihu Moravy mnohde zmizela ornice a hospodaří se na podloží. Chemii do půdy dostat umíme, ale vodu ne. Za to, jak krajina vypadá, si můžeme sami, říká pedolog Jan Vopravil.

    Přehrady nemůžeme oddělit od krajiny, vodu potřebujeme i v půdě. Spousta zemědělců už začíná tenhle stav vnímat. Donedávna jsme měli největší půdní bloky z celé EU, nové opatření ale určuje maximální výměr na 30 hektarů.

    Deforestation in Africa accelerates ~ UN food agency | CGTN Africa
    https://africa.cgtn.com/2020/05/07/deforestation-in-africa-accelerates-un-food-agency/

    Africa is the only continent in the world where deforestation is accelerating, according to key findings of a five-year report released Thursday by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

    “One explanation is certainly population growth in the region. Much of the deforestation in the region is due to small-scale subsistence agriculture,” Branthomme told AFP.

    Insufficient poverty reduction, combined with population growth, “is increasing the pressure on forests, which is very unfortunate since forests in Africa are also a very important source of food, firewood, wood energy,” she added.

    At the global level, forest loss has continued to slow, though this positive trend has weakened over the past decade.

    Amid Oil Price Crash, Climate Change Protesters Urge Divestment From Fossil Fuels
    https://foreignpolicy.com/...crash-revives-fossil-fuel-divestment-campaigns-climate-change-activism/

    “There might not be another moment where there is the political and economic window to take the drastic action on climate that is necessary,” said Connor Chung, the communications coordinator for Divest Harvard, a student activist organization. “We don’t have the luxury of trusting that we can nudge the industry into behavior or that the market will fix the problem by itself.”

    Divestment organizers—climate activists who are pushing government and financial institutions to divest from the fossil fuel industry—have been using the pandemic’s ripple effects throughout the global economy, most notably through the oil and gas sector, to demonstrate just how dire the need to remove pension funds and other investments from the struggling sector really is.

    biden / climate

    https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1262110174698811392.html

    We're seeing climate policy teams emerge to try and fill the deficit in Biden's plans & the void left by the suspension of the Bernie campaign,& it's important to understand that they aren't offering unique policies: this may be a strategic shift, and one that is questionable. /1

    Let's start with the basics: writing policy isn't hard. Most of the ideas were born from the frontlines & organizers, with feedback into academic/policy spaces- primarily to legitimize them. What's hard is navigating political landscapes, which have shifted. /2

    The big prize is defining Biden's climate plan right now, which is garbage. Biden needs the youth vote to win,& youth care about climate. That gives us tremendous leverage.

    These climate think tanks are positioning themselves as a solution for Biden & climate activists /3

    The big question is 'whose side are they on?' It can't be both, even if they believe it.

    So it's important to understand their self-interest- whether it's career-building, saving the planet for kids, etc. & it's VERY important to understand their theory of change. /4

    If their theory of change relies on closed-door deal-making, climate activists will lose. This has been the strategy for decades, & it's cost us dearly.

    If it's grounded in leveraging the power of a mass movement to win demands that they turn into policy, that's better /5

    My concern is that there is more focus on getting positioned within the Biden camp than enabling the movement, & the fear of another Trump presidency is being used to excuse a strategic shift to focusing on a primarily inside vs. outside strategy./6

    Here's the thing: Biden will lose without the youth vote, which is more diverse & concerned w/ justice & climate than other generations. He will need to make large concessions to build enthusiasm for his campaign. I don't think attempts to manufacture consent will be enough. /7

    The movement is in shock right now, but PEOPLE still have the power. If climate policy groups are conceiving their value as connecting Biden w/ voters, then they need to authentically represent the will of people. Not through grasstops 'consultation,' but by aligning w/ them /8

    People need to be making grassroots demands. The demands need to be winnable, have science-driven timelines, materially improve people's lives,& alter the relations of power.& we must fight for them.

    This criteria is important for policymakers too-esp altering power relations /9
    The Biden climate taskforce may host some of these dynamics. It may be good that Bernie appointed people that have a theory of change anchored by people power.

    Policy groups will compete for influence.
    But the participation of people will determine its value. /10

    A return to closed-door deal-making would be the nail in the coffin of real change. The power to win real change ultimately lies with PEOPLE, & policy groups w/ interest in real change need to join movements & adhere to the will of people-not replicate hierarchies of power. /11

    We can't allow fear to drive us back toward familiar patterns of "change-making" that have failed to deliver the progress we need. There is too much at stake to stop fighting- we have leverage right now. The New Deal wasn't gifted: it was a concession to prevent revolution /12

    We are powerful, and we must be brave enough to use our power for authentic victories. If we stick together, we can win. A better world is still possible. 13/13

    Bangladesh has prepared 12,078 cyclone shelters in coastal districts for 5.19 million people, State Minister for Disaster Management and Relief Enamur Rahman said at a media briefing in Dhaka.
    In India, about 25 teams from the National Disaster Response Force have been deployed on the ground, while 12 others are ready in reserve, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who held an emergency meeting on Monday to review the preparations, said on Twitter.
    Odisha started evacuating people on Monday evening and the operation will continue until Tuesday, said Pradeep Kumar Jena, special relief commissioner of the state. Odisha has about 560 permanent cyclone shelters and identified more than 7,000 public buildings as temporary places to keep people, he said.

    HydroWing, Tocardo partner on production of hydrogen from tidal power - Green Car Congress
    https://www.greencarcongress.com/2020/05/20200518-hydrowing.html

    Roughly 70 million tonnes of hydrogen are already produced annually representing a market worth more than US$121 billion. Hydrogen is utilized for a wide range of current industrial processes from ammonia, methanol and metals production and refinery of oil. Currently 98% of this demand is met by non-green sources resulting in around 830 million tonnes of CO2 a year—equivalent to the emissions of the UK and Indonesia combined.

    Současnou výzvu vědců napříč kontinentem, aby dotace zemědělcům byly navázány na stav půdy, vody a biodiverzity a zastavila se tak likvidace krajiny pro budoucí generace, zůstane u nás zcela jistě bez odezvy: „Na degradované půdě se nebude dát nic pěstovat, nejlepší ji bude zatravnit a ona se bude desítky až stovky let vzpamatovávat. Ale toho už se my nedožijeme,“ říká k budoucnosti, kterou pro nás prosazuje vláda Andreje Babiše, profesor Jakub Hruška z Ústavu výzkumu globální změny Akademie věd ČR. Naše děti by tady možná žít i chtěly, ale nebude jak.

    ...

    Česká krajina a politika dnes vypadá podobně, jako by ji řídil Stalin. Pomalu se blížíme oklikou ke stavu, kdy bude Česko tvořit jedno gigantické pole, energii bude dodávat jeden obří jaderný reaktor a vodu přehrada, která zatopí čtvrtinu země. Ve skutečnosti však budeme mít spíš reaktory, které se nikdy nedostaví, přehrady, které se nenaplní a krajinu, která bude mrtvá – stejně jako budoucnost této země řízené normalizačními inženýry.

    SHINIGAMI: tenhleten denialismus mě nepřestává fascinovat. Solární byznys roste čtvrtý desetiletí dvojcifernejma číslama ročně, každou pětiletku zdvojnásobí svý kapacity, ale ne, budeme se dohadovat, jestli se to opravdu stalo. To je zhruba tak dlouho, jako je věk průměrnýho nyxáka, ergo to není žádná šokující skrytá věc, ale fakt, kterej tě provází celej život.

    Je to jako pozorovat lidi, co tvrděj, že kompy byly nejrychlejší v době pentií v pětadevadesátým a od tý doby to jde jenom z kopce. Zajímalo by mě, co tím sledujete, nejsi první, u koho to vidím, to doufáte, že když budete dostatečně silně řvát, že to tak není, tak se statistiky přepíšou na horší čísla?
