Česko se otevírá budovám ze dřeva. Nově se smí stavět do výšky sedmi pater — Forbes

Dřevo dokáže výborně pohlcovat emise oxidu uhličitého a jeho použití jako stavebního materiálu je oproti betonu či oceli mnohem ohleduplnější k životnímu prostředí,“ vyjmenovává Josef Wiedermann výhody domů budovaných z CLT panelů.

Například v projektu Timber Praha, stavaři použili 1800 metrů krychlových smrkového a modřínového dřeva z Česka, Rakouska a Německa, které na sebe váže 1800 tun uhlíku. To při porovnání s tradiční stavbou znamená snížení emisí skleníkových plynů přibližně o šedesát procent. Kromě toho dřevo umí stabilizovat klima a vlhkost v místnosti a lépe tepelně izoluje.

Risotto crisis: the fight to save Italy’s beloved dish from extinction | Rice | The Guardian

In 2022, the worst drought in 200 years hit the Po, Italy’s longest river. The waterway forms the lifeblood of a complex web of canals built between the Middle Ages and the 1800s, which serve as the paddy fields’ main source of irrigation. That year, Italy lost 26,000 hectares (64,000 acres) of rice fields, according to Ente Nazionale Risi, the national rice authority, and rice production dropped by more than 30%. Last year, the drought persisted and the crop from another 7,500 hectares of rice fields was lost.

Today, rice farmers struggling to recover from the impact of the drought face an uncertain future. “The higher the temperatures, the more frequent and intense these extreme events will be,” says Marta Galvagno, a biometeorologist at the Environmental Protection Agency of Aosta Valley.

Over the past two years, Ferraris, like other farmers in the area, has tried to diversify his crops to reduce the risks brought by the climate crisis. He has reduced the acreage dedicated to paddies and started to grow crops such as maize, that require less water.

“The climate is changing and I am afraid there will be other droughts,” says Ferraris, whose farm lost about €150,000 [£129,000] in 2022. Rice remains his biggest crop, however. Recently, he has started monitoring snowfalls in the Alps and checking the water levels in Lake Maggiore every day. “It’s hard to sleep at night,” he says.

Ferraris is particularly worried about the production of carnaroli classico, a refined rice variety. Thanks to its ability to resist high cooking temperatures and absorb flavours, carnaroli is considered the “king of risotto”, but it is also extremely delicate and vulnerable to changes in the climate.

Fossil fuels account for over three-fourths of greenhouse gas emissions (IEA, 2021), fueling
a climate crisis that is projected to devastate ecosystems and communities across the globe
(IPCC, 2022; Rinawati et al., 2013). Fossil fuel production is already at a historic high,
and is poised to continue growing (SEI and UNEP, 2021). Global fossil fuel production is
known to have myriad adverse impacts on people and the environment (But et al., 2013).
Many of the reserves targeted for extraction lie in highly sensitive ecological areas (Harfoot
et al., 2018), with countless other upstream and midstream fossil fuel projects posing
risks. In view of the extent of the adverse social, climate and ecological threats of fossil fuel
production, we are promulgating a spatial mapping approach and accompanying openaccess web platform (www.fossilfuelatlas.org) for creating scientifcally grounded maps
and other information-rich visuals that make transparent the threats posed by current
and prospective fossil fuel production. In partnership, Stockholm Environment Institute
(SEI), Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and the Institute for Governance and Sustainable
Development (IGSD) are operationalizing this Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-
based approach through a global open-access, on-line transparency platform, the Fossil
Fuel Atlas, in collaboration with a growing community of stakeholders—including civil
society organizations and decision-makers—who are addressing fossil fuel extraction at
local to international scales.

Italská rozvědka tvrdí, že Rusko vede proti zemi hybridní válku. Zejména jde o šíření dezinformací o protestech farmářů. Píše o tom italská tisková agentura ANSA na základě výsledků prezentace výroční zpravodajské zprávy v parlamentu. „Rusko je nejaktivnějším hráčem v hybridních kampaních na úkor Itálie a celého Západu,“ píše se ve zprávě. Hlavními nástroji Ruské federace jsou špionáž, kybernetické útoky, dezinformace a využívání migračních toků k destabilizaci politické situace. Tajemník Rady ministrů Alfredo Mantovano řekl, že poslední epizoda ruských dezinformací souvisí s protesty farmářů proti „greendeal“ a zemědělské politice Evropské unie. Zpravodajské zdroje navíc uvádějí, že Ruská federace svými nástroji silně ovlivňuje nadcházející volby do Evropského parlamentu, plánované na začátek června.

Several European countries hit some of their sustainable energy targets for 2030 a decade early, a study has found, but big gaps remain across the board.

Ecological civilization (shengtai wenming ) has been written into China’s constitution as the ideological framework for the country’s environmental policies, laws and education. It is also increasingly presented not only as a response to environmental degradation in China, but as a vision for our global future. In this article, scholars from the disciplines of media science, anthropology and sinology analyse media representations of eco-civilization in order to explore which values and visions this highly profiled state project actually entails. The article argues that eco-civilization is best understood as a sociotechnical imaginary in which cultural and moral virtues constitute key components that are inseparable from the more well-known technological, judicial, and political goals. The imaginary of eco-civilization seeks to construct a sense of cultural and national continuity, and to place China at the center of the world by invoking its civilization’s more than 2000 years of traditional philosophical heritage as a part of the solution for the planet’s future. It is constructed as a new kind of Communist Party led utopia in which market economy and consumption continue to grow, and where technology and science have solved the basic problems of pollution and environmental degradation.

Earth First!: Environmental Apocalypse by Martha F. Lee | Goodreads
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3286966

In the summer of 1980, Dave Foreman, along with four conservationist colleagues, founded the millenarian movement Earth First!. A provocative counterculture that ultimately hoped for the fall of industrial civilization, the movement emerged in response to rapid commercial development of the American wilderness. "The earth should come first" was a doctrine that championed both biocentrism (an emphasis on maintaining the earth's full complement of species) and biocentric equality (the belief that all species are equal). Martha Lee was successful in gaining extraordinary access to information about the movement, as well as interviews with its members. While following Earth First's development and methods, she illustrates the inherent instability and the dangers associated with all millenarian movements. This book will be of interest to environmentalists and those interested in political science and sociology.



+ soundtrack s dobovými samply ze zpravodajství ohledně jejich akcí (mluví tam mj. indiánskej náčelník vyjadřující se k jejich obsazení těžebního vrtu a končí to zvoláním "year 1987 is the most critical year in the history of human evolution")

An emotionally charged and bizarrely evocative look at radical environmental advocacy groups, mainly Earth First! and Earth Liberation Front, channeled through the memories of the Swedish Plogbill-movement and their actions throughout the early 90's. Monologue, snippets of interview segments, protest songs and site recordings are mixed up with the rather raw kosmische synth music Arv & Miljö has explored during the last couple of years. The result is a mesmerizing and multi-faceted audio collage; charmingly disorienting and chaotic but also harmonic and oddly soothing. Ultimately, Jorden Först is not so much about a certain cause or organization as it is about dedication, passion and the spirit of change. Originally released as a very limited CDr on Förfall in 2021, Jorden Först was quickly hailed as one of the absolute highlights in the vast Arv & Miljö discography among the ones that heard it. The recording was extended and slightly reworked and remixed for vinyl in July 2022.
