The Guardian article nailed it, thanks!

It doesn't cite exactly where they got the Greenpeace photo from, but I found it here: https://media.greenpeace.org/archive/Climate-Impact-Documentation-in-Norway--Svalbard-27MZIF4WNED.html

Climate Impact Documentation in Norway, Svalbard Greenpeace documentation showing that glacier "Blomstrandbreen" has retreated nearly 2 km since 1928, with an accelerated rate of 35 metres lost per year since 1960 and even higher in the past decade. In the image, view of climate campaigner Truls Gulowsen on a speed boat going to a mine in Longyearbyen.

A bit more from the Guardian article:

Greenpeace activists visited the glacier last weekend on the Rainbow Warrior taking pictures from the same locations to highlight the effects of global warming, which the group says is a threat to the future of the planet.

The Blomstrandbreen glacier has retreated by one and a quarter miles since 1928, according to Greenpeace. It was shrinking by 115ft a year in the 1960s, a rate which has risen.

Recent studies carried out by US researchers and reported in Science last month said that 85% of the glaciers they examined had lost vast portions of their mass in the last 40 years.

Keith Echelmayer of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, who has carried out research into Alaska's ice streams and checked glacier thickness, said: "Most glaciers have thinned several hundred feet at low elevation in the last 40 years and about 60 feet at higher elevations."

May it be so.

Christianity is quite broad and this question will yield a different answer depending on the variant.

The example tract you shared looks like a Chick tract (or similar). That's a specific breed of American Evangelicalism. Unfortunately, the number of followers in this brand of theology is quite numerous in the United States.

Evangelicals are definitely proponents of education, but very specifically things that align with their theology. So education in dogma, apologetics, and their brand of theology is heavily pushed.

Unfortunately, education in the sciences (particularly biology) is actively fought against because their theology and the sciences conflict on a number of matters. So long as the science agrees with their theology, they're okay with people being educated in it. That which disagrees with their interpretation of scripture, is interpreted as lies from Satan polluting people's minds and turning humanity from God.

These Christians will always speak of how important education is, but it takes the form of indoctrination. The more they can solidify people in their beliefs, the better and more "truly" educated they are as a result. If you believe in the sciences of evolutionary biology, then you've been deceived and misled.

With that said though... it's important to remember that there are quite a number of Christians that are not adherents of this form of evangelicalism and who are strong proponents of the sciences.

Religion is about control. The more fundamental the religion is, the stronger that control needs to be. This isn't a Christian problem or even an evangelical problem. It's common with numerous religions and why so many devastating wars I've been rooted in religion. This problem is a religious problem.

There needs to be a way to call for help from unarmed specialists. 😖

So glad to hear there was an arrest. Hoping for justice and that this person gets the much needed help they need.

Most recently I remember it happening really really badly within Syria. Very intentional destruction. But yes, it happens all the time--Iraq included. With the technology we have now, we can preserve a lot of it (digitally at least).

I hate how it's so damn hard to find these things and yet so easy to destroy it.

“The policy that has never been far from my mind for the past six months is the nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel, which has enabled and empowered the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians,” Major Mann wrote in the post, which noted that he had emailed his comments to co-workers on April 16. “This unconditional support also encourages reckless escalation that risks wider war.”

It's no small thing for him to make this statement publicly. I hope that him doing so does more good than the negative repercussions this will inevitably have for him.

Also, I've not heard of the source so I thought I would share a couple more:

• https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/army-officer-resigns-gaza-israel.html
• https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/13/military-resignation-gaza-war

I remember seeing this warning and then nothing coming out of. It seemed so vague and strange. The atrocities never end. 😖

I wonder what Washington shared with Moscow and how the Kremlin chose to act or not act on that information...

I was waiting for some news on this and I'm so grateful to hear that he's actually gonna be punished.

Absolutely nothing can make up for what he did, but I pray to the cosmos that this deters other fools.

Anti-science misinformation is something that affects my relationships with numerous people in my life.

Empathy and patience seem to be the only response that has any positive impact, but it simply isn't enough to combat the massive amount of indoctrination driving these beliefs.

Ugh. It's so frustrating and I feel helpless so often. And things just seem to get worse. 😭

This is horrific on so many levels. I can't imagine how much trauma this is all causing. 😭

It's very curious to me how the economic indicators can seem so positive while people are still feeling the pangs of increased prices across the board.

There have been various articles/studies shared recently which indicate corporations have been taken advantage of consumers. We've heard terms like "greed'flation" to describe it. This article then says Biden alluding to this "is suspicious to many economists."

Are economic indicators not able to capture "greedflation"? Is it a thing or not? Something I need to do more reading on I suppose.

UPDATE: example article / study

• Fortune: The biggest study of ‘greedflation’ yet looked at 1,300 corporations to find many of them were lying to you about inflation
• The referenced joint study by think tanks IPPR and Common Wealth found profiteering by some of the world’s biggest companies forced prices up significantly higher than costs during 2022.
