Ukraine talks about territorial integrity and say that this is their land and the Russian-speaking majority should leave but ...
Recognizes Ichkeria (Chechnya, where no one is fighting for it lol) from Russia on the basis of "self-determination" at the expense of Russia's territorial integrity
Tend to support Kosovar "self-determination" against Serbia against their territorial sovereignty
Supports settlement of Palestinian land (recognized by 138 countries, 7 billion people)
Support Yaroslav Hunka who fought with the nazis for "self-determination" against Soviet territorial sovereignty
And then they support "Israeli territorial sovereignty" just like they support their own as the Slavic Israel.
Voice also won't do anything though. If politicians want to hear the voice of the people they can go listen to them.
The companies ruining indigenous land have been financing the voice referendum, an advisory body like that could easily be used to justify themselves. It's gone that way before. "Progressive No" has the best opinions, listen to Lidia Thorpe and those that put treaty first, both sides want to assimilate indigenous people into settler colonial society. Both a yes and no victory will be a success for the racists.
It seems like they were significantly pushed back :/ according to https://israelpalestine.liveuamap.com/ and the IDF 3 hours before I posted (so 6 hours ago). Too early to tell though I think.
Wikipedia map is from yesterday, that was still impressive regardless.
Lion's Den Palestinian nationalists and PFLP Marxist-Leninists issued a joint statement:
"For everyone who owns a weapon and does not use it in defense of religion and country, it is time to show yourself as a man and fulfill your duty of honor and courage against the Jewish occupation of Palestine."
It's been the other way arround, before 2015 they supported the DPRK, now they dont.
KKE wondering why it's losing friends after calling China imperialist, hating the DPRK, only supporting Cuba and dividing MLs.

North Korea has also taken steps to strengthen the so-called "free economic zones", the "market", where the Workers' Party of Korea for several years has rejected Marxism-Leninism, promotes the idealistic theory "Juche", talks about "Kimilsugism - Kimgyongilism", violating every concept of socialist democracy, workers' people's control, within a regime of nepotism.

I think socdem is the easiest followed by right wing then truly left wing. Saying that from originally being a socdem (communism is kinda hard to randomly stumble upon/research unless you live in an AES state or something). But depends a lot on the location.
For America being socdem definitely harder than right wing.
main causes of forest and steppe fires
Alright I'll stop now.
Not sceptical of warming but the anthropogenic and global nature.
The theory is that CO2 is not the main factor contributing to climate change (outside the Eastern Pacific and Southern ocean) and forest fires. This is radically different. The question ultimately arises: If CO2 is not the main driving factor of climate change, then to what extent does human activity relevant? If we do not have control then we should focus on the mitigation disaster than CO2 emission.
As you said the Russian theory does not invalidate current models.
The article by the bulletin of atomic scientists says that their models are not necessarily invalidated by the cooling trend but it still needs to be explained. The Russians explained this by saying that CO2 is not a major factor. This is radically different from the models which assume that CO2 is the main factor. Thus the Russian theory would invalidate the significance of CO2 in warming and instead of global warming, we have several examples of regional warming. This is much more than a footnote.
"The main cause of local climatic catastrophes is the increasing emission of natural hydrogen due to the alternating gravitational forces of the moon and sun, which cause holes in the ozone layer. The resulting rise in temperature and the mixing of ozone and hydrogen are the main causes of forest and steppe fires"
The wording of this is much different from what we've heard. I understand the greenhouse effect theory better, this one seems weird but it's definately a big if true.
The current theory does make sense but there are parts of the world that are cooling despite that being contrary to modeling.
Even the mainstream majority believe that the climate models are wrong as cooling has been measured in the Pacific.
The Russian theory attempts to account for this, although like you mentioned, I am not sure how good it is.
This is an article from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists:
https://thebulletin.org/2022/12/whats-wrong-with-these-climate-models/
Take, for example, ocean warming. Despite criticisms from climate change skeptics, global climate models have accurately predicted rising average sea surface temperatures, which are extremely important to predicting the intensity of climate change. But observations in recent decades show that changes in sea surface temperatures vary greatly by region. That geographic variation suggests that**** end of century global warming may be less severe than most climate models suggest. ****These observations do not invalidate climate modeling, but they do highlight the importance of regular comparisons between climate models and the real-world observations they aspire to reflect.
**>She adds that observed trends show a strong cooling trend in the Eastern Pacific and Southern Ocean, which goes against what the models predicted. **
They can ignore it while telling other countries to deindustrialize (they already attacked China)
Also deindustrialization happens under capitalism and it could be useful to justify it.
I am not a full fledged climate skeptic, I want a discussion. That's why I prefaced it with the title. Sorry for being annoying.
The world is generally warming I don't deny that, but what do you have to say to the Russian academy of Sciences saying it's mostly caused by regional variations in the ozone layer not CO2.

I understand that the current theory is a well-regarded mainstream theory but Russia’s theory of climate change attempts to account for these abnormalities. So I wanted to discuss this.
A cold climate petro state like Russia has a lot of incentives to present alternative explanations. They don’t want the world to burn less oil and could do with some more warm weather anyway.
Yeah, that' why I am waiting for some confirmation.
To present carbon as a conspiracy by the West would contradict the reality that the West continues to emit carbon.
What's the contradiction in that? They can emit CO2 while complaining about China doing the same.
Russian Academy of Sciences says climate change is caused regional variations in the ozone layer as the Southern and Eastern Pacific oceans have cooled.
Personally I think if China and other AES states agree with this, we should join in as well. Right now I read these articles with healthy scepticism and I am curious on your views. These are the ones that I found interesting. Russia may present an alternate take this December, an interesting time to be alive.

Edit: I shouldn't have started with such a hollow article. The dismissal of increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts due to warming is not something I support. Here's something better that shows that the current model fails to explain the strong cooling trend in the Southern Ocean and East Pacific.

^ Explains that the Russian Academy of Sciences has a different account on climate change that will be presented this year. The IPCC has a monopoly on climate science, the IPCC was founded by Thatcher as a reaction to striking coal workers and is a political organization.

When Bellingcat says that's not Dmitry Utkin, I listen.
The picture of Utkin with nazi tatoos is not Utkin, they don't look the same and it's unsourced.
Also the fact that they had options range from -3 ---> 3 is kind of annoying. Like anyone who voted -1 could still believe that Nazism is a threat.
