  • What the Russian government inflicts on Ukraine is atrocious but not entirely unparalleled.

    What does that mean? The aggressor here is Russia, they started the war unprovoked. What exactly is 'unparalleled'?

  • British PM Starmer criticised for meeting China's Xi as Hong Kong freedom protesters were being jailed

  • Protecting the country's right should be a minimum to expect from a PM. The UK's Hong Kong agreement with China is being completely ignored as someone already said.

  • Russian central bank to restrict some new corporate loans as debt burdens climb

  • In related news, Ukrainian and independent (exiled) Russian media report that Russian consumer loans are hitting 44%.

    As of the beginning of November, consumer loan rates in Russian banks ranged from 25% to 38% per annum, but by 19 November, the maximum rate had risen to 44%.

    It is noted that almost half of borrowers have problems with loan repayment: 35% have minor difficulties, 12% have serious ones, and 1% admit that they can no longer pay at all.

  • My point is there’s a social component to defederating that’s likely a bit bigger than just shutting out Russia/China enjoyers.

    I have to disagree. It's not just this community's "West bad, Russia/China bad okay" hypocrisy and the fact that they convey their narrative and their narrative only (everything else gets immediately blocked, while they accuse others literally of 'double standards'). One of my main points is that they support Russia's war in Ukraine, which is a genocide. It's the only community that openly supports an attempted genocide.

  • Yes, they are more subtle in parroting propaganda, but they block everyone who is only slightly critical of China/Russia. They are the same people.

  • @ashley0_0@lemmy.blahaj.zone This puzzles me, too. That instance is a cheap propaganda instance that has been banned by Reddit some time ago for a good reason. I don't know why we don't defederate.

  • OPCW Investigation Confirms Russia’s Likely Use of Chemical Weapons Against Ukraine -- (Archived)

    Russia’s consistent denials that its military forces have deployed illegal chemical weapons in Ukraine were dealt a serious blow on November 18, when the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) announced that it had recently conducted a Technical Assistance Visit to Ukraine and established evidence of chemical weapons use. While the OPCW stopped short of attributing responsibility to Russia, a growing body of evidence points to numerous Russian chemical weapon attacks against Ukrainian front-line troops in violation of the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention, to which Moscow is a party.

    The original OPWC report is here.

    We have news like this from Europe. In 2024.

  • China’s carbon emissions have now caused more global warming than EU, report says

    Jump

  • As I said multiple times, this is one reason among others why we need transparent supply chains. It is exactly China which opposes this. This is bad for world (and bad for China, too).

  • In addition to that from another source, the Climate Action Tracker for China:

    Policies and action against fair share: Insufficient

    NDC (nationally determined contributions ) target against modelled domestic pathways: Highly insufficient

    NDC target against fair share: Insufficient

    Net Zero Target = Year 2060: Comprehensiveness rated as Poor

  • Governments could enforce laws to reduce their emissions, but they don't.

  • China’s carbon emissions have now caused more global warming than EU, report says

    Jump

  • The only way to measure it is where it is produced. This is what this and other reports are doing. Governments could reduce their emissions, especially in countries where they are high. It's not the case, though.

  • China’s carbon emissions have now caused more global warming than EU, report says

    Jump

  • This is not what I meant. It is, of course, a matter of production and the political framework for it. What I mean is that -in addition to that- we should have more transparency across supply chains. And China is one of the countries which opposes this transparency.

  • Again, this is not about assigning blame. This is just a simple fact.

  • It's not just Amazon, it's also Temu, Shein, and the Chinese shops in that context as the article suggests. The numbers would be a bit different if there would be more transparency in supply chains and we could assign emissions -also- where they are consumed and not 'only' where they are produced. But this needed more transparency how and where these products are produced.

  • China’s carbon emissions have now caused more global warming than EU, report says

    Jump

  • This is not a blame game. Humanity is failing as a whole as the climate doesn't know borders or politics as we know. It is important that we track numbers, though. As the report says:

    Historical CO2 emissions matter for climate change, because there is a finite “carbon budget” that can be released into the atmosphere before a given level of global warming is breached.

    For example, in order to limit warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, only around 2,800GtCO2 can be added to the atmosphere, counting all emissions since the pre-industrial period [...] Cumulative emissions since 1850 will reach 2,607CO2 by the end of 2024, according to Carbon Brief’s new analysis, meaning that some 94% of the 1.5C budget will have been used up.

    We are all doing too little (and too late?). Climate change has already been affecting all countries across all continents for some time. What we needed imo is more global collaboration, but it doesn't seem to happen.

  • Biden agrees to give Ukraine anti-personnel mines

  • Why is it that some people frequently say something that Ukraine has 'signed treaties', or 'the West must not cross red lines' ...

    All this without naming the aggressor in this war which is Russia. Russia permanently violates airspace of Poland, Romania, Moldova. Russia deploys sabotage activities in multiple countries across Europe, in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, espionage activities in the Irish Sea. Russia gets decisive support by China in its war in Ukraine. North Korea is sending troops. Iran has been sending drones.

    What consequences should that have on the compliance of treaties by countries, @drolex@sopuli.xyz?
