#Hurricanes Have Left Their Mark on #Louisiana’s #Wetlands

2023

Excerpt: "Oil and gas exploration, oil spills, rising sea levels, and subsidence also contribute to land loss in the region. Potter found that, in addition to tropical storms, oil pollution left behind from the #DeepwaterHorizon spill in 2010 contributed to wetland degradation in Barataria Basin. The presence of oil likely damaged the marsh’s vegetation above and below the ground, reducing the stability of the surrounding soil and making the marsh more vulnerable to erosion. Heavily oiled wetlands experienced more loss than those that were less polluted, according to Potter. He noted that oil residues were still present in the basin in 2023."

The Oil Company Behind the #DeepwaterHorizon Spill Wants to Do a Massive, Risky Drilling Project in the Gulf

July 11, 2025

"What’s happening: #BP, the company behind the worst #OilSpill in U.S. history, is asking the Trump administration to allow it to drill a new, #UltraDeepwater project in the #GulfOfMexico.

"Why it matters: BP’s Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010 killed 11 people and released 4.9 million barrels of oil that blanketed the Gulf shoreline. It wiped out horrific amounts of marine life, cratered local economies, and left Gulf communities burdened with everything from health issues to unemployment.

"The conditions around BP’s new proposed project, #Kaskida, could make it even more dangerous than the Deepwater Horizon. Kaskida would be in greater depths, where equipment would have to withstand higher pressures and temperatures.

"BP lacks experience operating this type of well and had not met required qualifications for using this drilling technology at the time of its application. It also vastly underestimates the impacts of another oil spill. We’re telling the government not to give BP another chance to contaminate the Gulf and disrupt coastal communities."

Fifteen years after the #DeepwaterHorizon #OilSpill, the #environmental impact is still felt along the #GulfCoast. #Settlement money is also nearing an end, leaving states like Louisiana searching for alternative funding sources for their #CoastalRestoration projects.

Trump’s $1tn for #Pentagon to add huge planet-heating #emissions, study shows
Exclusive: 17% increase in #military spending will add emissions equivalent to annual carbon equivalent (#CO2) emissions generated by 68 gas power plants or the entire country of Croatia.
The #US is the largest historical contributor to the #climatecrisis, and currently the second worst emitter after China – a country with quadruple the population.

"A decrease of less than 7 percent [in military spending] each year over about a decade would theoretically reduce energy consumption from about 640 trillion to 394 trillion British thermal units."

Interesting new study found that reducing military funding by even small amounts can have a big impact on emissions. (Though, of course, the main problems with militaries are the war, destruction, and loss of human life.)

@SiR_GameZaloT Well, as for "Western colonialist": 'Dawn' sits in Karachi and the article is written by Pakistani journalists. The last section is just bad #journalism because they don't watch the context to earlier monsuns and #climateCrisis.
Here you have an example of Pakistani journalist R. Umaima Ahmed for a @globalvoices who makes it better and shows the context from the first phrase to the end: globalvoices.org/2025/07/14/de

Global Voices · Deadly floods hit Pakistan as government preparedness faces scrutinyFollowing a severe June heatwave, accelerated glacier melt triggered flash floods and landslides north of Pakistan. The provincial government was criticised for delayed rescue efforts and lack of preparedness.

#Floods hammering #Pakistan as of last night.

Over 60 people dead across #Punjab in the last 24hrs.

400mm (15.7 inches) of rain overnight due to a #cloudburst, triggering flash floods

Disappointing how the western colonialist line "dont be alarmed, these things are usual in these parts" made it to this article as well.
