World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not only billionaires. Scientists claim this is just a phase of the earth that has taken place many times in the past. Scientists are saying it, but are being drowned out or silenced. So there's people saying this and people saying that, and it's impossible for any one person to trust the words of anybody else in this very complex and complicated matter, with many, many stakeholders.
So the scientists who claim so aren't being genuine, not being truthful, and they've moved the goalposts. And probably are real dicks at parties.
Other than that, bang-on.
The last time it happened wasn't too long ago and things didn't die off in droves as far as I understood.
These findings also say that carbon dioxide and methane gas aren't the main causes for global warming and the climate change, as they weren't the last time(s) either.
I'm not going to involve ad hominems here against either side (ahem), I'm just relaying the findings.
There are scientists saying this and there are scientists saying that, and that's all we know until we deep dive into the studies to analyze and scrutinize them ourselves.
Science was wrong about sugar and fat for decades, too. No need to down vote here. I just think it's important to take all findings into consideration before we sink trillions of dollars into changing the world into something that isn't really helping. Or inventing things that might release less CO2 but release more toxins for other reasons, like electric cars e.g. (I say as an EV driver...)
Again, I'm not saying either side is wrong or right. But it's important not to stigmatize being open to all the science. Stigmatizing isn't scientific at all. That's mob mentality and very dangerous.
There is no both sides here and pretending there is is wrong.
All the original research came from the petroleum companies themselves. It has since been confirmed by a consensus of scientists multiple times over the last six decades.
There is always doubt in science. This is a good thing. Using this doubt to pretend there is some other major consensus is disingenuous.
There's not a significant amount of discourse suggesting that this is a natural cycle: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/10/more-999-studies-agree-humans-caused-climate-change
Rhetoric like yours adds uncertainty where there is extremely little to be had.
These cycles also perpetrate over millennia, not decades, which is the current scope of detectable change we're dealing with.
