TADEAS: obrázek z Dimbangombe, to je subrovníková afrika se střídáním období sucha a deště. to fakt nemůžeš srovnávat s orbou v mírným pásmu. nebo můžeš, ale :)

MATT: prezentovaný fotky mě překvapily, takže radikální změna režimu v krajině je očividně možná. ale za tímhle bude stát nějaká geologická-morfologická struktura, imho

PALEONTOLOG: TADEAS: Teorii znam, je to muj chleba, ale prave proto bych moh sarkasticky dodat, ze tam je voda, protoze treba tvar terenu nebo vhodny geologicky usporadani. Ale predpokladam, ze za tim na byt nejaky management krajiny, nebo se pletu?

PALEONTOLOG: muzes link, pls?


ZAHRADKAR: PALEONTOLOG: V tom článku přijde primárně bizarní, to co tomuhle předchází..
Rodina Grassotových, která u nedalekého města Pals pěstuje už po pět generací rýži, tvrdí, že vláda „léta věděla, že taková situace přijde, a nepřijala žádná opatření, aby tomu předešla“.

pěstovat rejži při 430mm ročně, když udávané minimum je alespoň třikrát vyšší.. ?

PALEONTOLOG: tak jsou i lidi ve smyslu vedomejch ekosystemovejch regulatoru / hyperpredatoru, ktery o tom vedej vic nez prd. to jen v ČR a okolnich skanzenech se furt oře :)

EU nature restoration laws in balance as member states withdraw support | European Union | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/25/eu-nature-restoration-laws-in-balance-as-member-states-withdraw-support

The EU’s nature restoration laws are hanging in the balance after a number of member states, including Hungary and Italy, withdrew support for the legislation.

Spain’s environment minister, Teresa Ribera, said it would be “enormously irresponsible” for countries to drop the laws, which have been two years in the making and are designed to reverse decades of damage to biodiversity on land and in waterways.

TUHO: tohle mi prijde zajimavy

Through three provocations, we ‘stratify’ the concept of sovereignty: in the ‘royal metals’ of early modern states; in the rise of neoliberalism as a re-privatisation of mineral-energy infrastructures against the claims of social democracy; and in anticipatory extensions of mineral sovereignty to outer space. Mineral sovereignty discloses methodological problems for energy and climate policy. Pre-analytical distinctions between public law and the private power of fossil capital imply a hierarchy and separation that cannot be presumed, but must be achieved. We must ‘leave it in the ground’: this requires the re-assertion of democratic control over the mineral estate.

On mineral sovereignty: Towards a political theory of geological power
Jeremy Walker a, Matthew Johnson

The Anthropocene thesis invokes the ‘enormous geological power’ of industrialism: driven by hydrocarbon combustion, manifest in planetary heating. Yet political theory has proceeded as if the organisation of geological power were incidental to history. Geological agency, we submit, is precisely what mining industries are organised to achieve, materially and politically. We propose mineral sovereignty as a term of method to analyse geological power in its legible, institutional and intentional forms. We deploy it to excavate an entwined genealogy of state and corporation: one evident in the constitutional (or extra-parliamentary) technologies of sovereignty and property that order the appropriation and distribution of mineral wealth. Through three provocations, we ‘stratify’ the concept of sovereignty: in the ‘royal metals’ of early modern states; in the rise of neoliberalism as a re-privatisation of mineral-energy infrastructures against the claims of social democracy; and in anticipatory extensions of mineral sovereignty to outer space. Mineral sovereignty discloses methodological problems for energy and climate policy. Pre-analytical distinctions between public law and the private power of fossil capital imply a hierarchy and separation that cannot be presumed, but must be achieved.

Russia in the Arctic—A Critical Examination
EUGENE RUMER, RICHARD SOKOLSKY, PAUL STRONSKI
Summary: Russia has big Arctic plans, but how they will be realized is uncertain. For the United States this will likely mean the return to a Cold War–like environment rather than a new chapter in great-power competition in the Arctic.

How Russia is leveraging its Arctic region for global influence

For the past decade, while the rest of us weren’t looking, Russia has invested seriously in its Arctic region. Now, some 20% of the country’s GDP and 30% of its exports come from these chilly lands. Climate change has softened the landscape where critical oil and gas reserves were stuck underground, while melting ice caps have allowed tanker ships to transport that fuel across Eurasia.

It’s a fascinating trend that’s set to get more critical in the coming decades. To learn more, we spoke with Malte Humpert, senior fellow and founder of the Arctic Institute. Our interview transcript was lightly condensed and edited for clarity.
