"A new study directly links hundreds of major heatwaves since 2000 to the emissions from fossil fuel and cement producers. Among its fundings, the researchers conclude that as many as a quarter of all heatwaves since the start of this century would have been 'virtually impossible' without emissions from any of the world’s 14 largest fossil fuel and #cement producers.

"The study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, shows that greenhouse gas emissions from 180 of the world’s biggest cement, oil, and gas producers have significantly contributed to climate change over the last two decades.

"They linked the emissions to 213 heatwaves, finding the pollution made the #ExtremeHeat more likely and intense. Of those 213 events, 53 were made 10,000 times more likely as a result of the emissions, according to the researchers."

Blood Memories: #Indigenous Women on the Frontlines Inspire with Words and Action

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, April 17, 2024

NEW YORK -- "Indigenous women around the world are battling #FossillFuels, #mining, #exploitation and #oppression. The abuse of #MotherEarth is directly connected to the violence against Indigenous women.

"Women's Earth and #ClimateAction Network International hosted Indigenous women on panels during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues on Wednesday.

"Osprey Orielle Lake, WECAN executive director, opened the session calling for a #ceasefire in #Gaza, an end to the oppression, and return of the hostages. 'The killing must be stopped now,' she said.

"Indigenous women speak on the struggles, from the battle to halt the #MountainValleyPipeline and protect their burial places, to #Anishinaabe protecting the water and animals around the #GreatLakes and the battles against mining in the #Amazon, #Ecuador, #Colombia, #Brazil and #Peru."
