"Embodied energy injustices: Unveiling and politicizing the transboundary harms of fossil fuel extraction and fossil fuel supply chains".

New paper with @jenniecstephens & @stephmalin_soc

Thread (1)

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Energy decisions have transboundary impacts. Yet assessments of large-scale energy infrastructure (e.g. EIS) rarely consider upstream/downstream emissions. Justice implications are completely omitted. Net effect = incomplete & flawed energy decisions (2)
The old Salem plant burned coal from La Guajira, Colombia. Fracked gas from PA, USA, now supplies the new gas-fired station*. Decision-makers ignored the ‘upstream’ injustices experienced by both communities. (3)
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Indigenous communities in La Guajira bare the brunt of multinational capital. One coal miner told me "First-world consumer rights take precedence over 3rd-world injustices” (4)
Indigenous communities are displaced by physical force, coercion, & by the contamination of farmland & water. @CerrejonCol coal mine & its owners @Glencore, @bhp and @AngloAmerican call this responsible mining (5)

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Communities impacted by fracking in PA suffered severe injustices, akin to coal. Natural gas will warm the earth as much as coal in the short-term (leakage during lifecycle). Fracking thwarts global decarbonization efforts. Moral of story: Gas is NOT a bridge fuel. (6)
The horrors of fossil fuel extraction are hidden from energy consumers. CSR used as tactic to evade responsibility (7)
Connecting local energy struggles with distant transboundary impacts can generate powerful resistance movements (8)
Mandatory transboundary impact assessments of large-scale energy related projects are needed (9)
Disruptive, non-violent, civil disobedience is necessary to hold agencies & governments accountable for upstream emissions & injustices (10)
Individual actions can help. Collective action is more urgent. (11)
Pushing for greater transparency of fossil fuel supply chain can aid corporate accountability efforts (12)
Large-scale energy infrastructure decision-making should involve a legal requirement that compares the lifecycle emission & injustice impacts of proposed fuels. (13)
Regulatory assessments of large-scale energy infrastructure must be consistent with state and national GHG targets (14).
IPCC report: Decarbonize entire economy immediately.

Government reaction: this is fine

This is why disruptive actions are needed.

You this is politics but man must always have honor & respect for himself as a professional!
Earlier today DAWISU posted this video below.
Have it & enjoy it! Watch closely.
Then proceed to my next post!!!
I have never insulted DAWISU or call him names but today makes it the second time he is directly involving himself in an amateur unprofessional propaganda the first was the Dollar Videos!
Let’s assume RMK said it for a second!

But He went through the stress of picking an old unrelated video, blurring it, & doctoring audio file to match an Unmatched LIP SYNC.
Listen for yourself, I will post it all!

I was in panel discussion at Christ University today on 'What is India's identity? Is it changing?'

I told India's primary identity is Hindu identity. A large section of audience gasped with shock as though I said something offensive. Some felt I was 'extreme'!
The kind of setback Hindus have faced in the narrative war is unbelievable and most unfortunate. It's a pity that we can't even call ourselves Hindu unapologetically.

Don't know how many decades of work is necessary to change this. Most important war to win is narrative war.
The idea that we became a new nation in 1947 & our Constitution is what makes us plural is the regular BS that our kids are fed with.

Unless Hindus realise that India is plural because India is majority Hindu & not just because of a Constitution, we won't go anywhere.

#Thread on #Hindu #Hinduism & #Hindutva. I saw this as an imprudent need & hence the thread as below cc @vivekagnihotri @RatanSharda55 @Sanjay_Dixit @_NAN_DINI @GitaSKapoor @sankrant @DikshitSmita @Shubhrastha 👇🏼Pic: Trimurti Sadashiva sculpture on Gharapuri Island
2/n #Hinduism is a reduced nomenclature given to the Sanatana Dharma by British in 1830s. The word Hinduism is formed by adding suffix ISM to Hindu.

ISM is defined as a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement.
3/n It must be understood that Hindu term always had geo-cultural meaning covering for people residing amid Sindhu River, Himalayas & Indu Sagar. Then in this case adding suffix ISM is nothing but mocking English Language. Eg, u can’t add Ism to Japanese and call Japaneism.

The Cosmic Movement's penetration of Indian Freedom Struggle, Politics, Education & Religion.

This thread focuses on advanced threat perception from this group. Although this is a vast network covering many areas we concentrate here on key players driving it forward.
This guy is Max Theon original name Louis-Maximilian Bimstein. He founded the Cosmic Movement. As we will see each and every member of this network prefers to hide their original name, identity and history.
Many prominent people were involved with this Cosmic Movement as we will see. One of them was Tomáš Masaryk (who became the first President of Czechoslovakia) also the Princess of Rohan in Vienna and many others. However this group was actually a spin-off of the OTO.

What's needed?
@davidbaldock & Allan Buckwell of @IEEP_eu:
1: Sufficient funding for environmental measures in Pillar 1
2: Specifics for New Delivery Model
3: Flexibility for Pillar 1 to 2 transfers
4. Fund ANCs under Pillar 1

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?
