There's no long term knowledge about fungus stuff once processed into these new forms.

Just to clarify that the fungus stuff is just mycelium. It is a totally natural product that is in this case foam-like. It is not processed, just dried at specific temperatures.

As they mention in this article:

these earplugs are made from Forager’s mycelium foam – and nothing else. This means they can break down in weeks to months,

“GOB’s earplugs are USDA Certified Biobased and entirely made from mycelium, a natural material that breaks down as easily as the produce you eat,”

I think it's a pity you say so. Was there maybe something specific in the video that made you think that?

Naturopathic medicine does not deny the efficacy of western medicine. On the contrary, more often than not, they are used side-by-side. Chemotherapy is one example during which some people use tinctures or oils to handle the nausea and other side effects that come with it.

To my knowledge, all pharmaceutical products come from the natural world (plants, mushrooms etc). I don't see a reason to deny this relation, even if these compounds are separated in a laboratory. In cases that they are synthetic - totally created in a lab - they mimic a specific natural compound, at least to my understanding.

Apart from that nowadays there is a significant amount of research that is already in place and supports the use of medicinal mushrooms. For example here is some of the research done in relation to a mushroom mentioned in this podcast, called lion's mane:

• 137 results from drugs.com
• 1564 results of articles from Science Direct - these results are not all related to medicine.

It would be great if these approaches would actually contribute in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the case.

This is an article with some relevant info:

Climeworks’ “Mammoth” vacuum cleaner is not a solution to the climate crisis

Climeworks’ newest DAC plant, Mammoth, is purported to capture ten times the amount of CO2 as Orca; some 36,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. (...) If 36,000 tonnes sounds like a big number, it’s not: It equates to one one-millionth of our annual global emissions. Even if Climeworks and other DAC companies do build hundreds of these DAC plants, it would not equate to even one per cent of current annual global emissions.

From our world in data on CO~2~ emissions:

we now emit over 35 billion tonnes each year

May I add that these notes where provided to the NYT by the Israeli military?

Minutes of Hamas’s secret meetings, seized by the Israeli military and obtained by The New York Times,

So after all the debunked fabricated lies that Israel has spread thanks to the press during the last 12 months, are we supposed to take what the IDF gives in good faith?

It looks like the U.S. Journalist Jeremy Loffredo was released

Although an Israeli judge granted his release from police custody, he was ordered to remain in the country until October 20, allowing investigators more time to bring additional allegations or to further interrogate Loffredo,

Israeli police had held Loffredo, an independent journalist from New York, on suspicion of assisting an enemy in war, a serious allegation that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or death,

“The claim that Loffredo and The Grayzone represent Israel’s enemy in wartime merely suggests that the Israeli government views the American people and free press as a legitimate target,”

The statement also called on the U.S. State Department to come to Loffredo’s defense, saying that the U.S. “has an obligation to defend its journalists who are merely adhering to their ethical obligation to inform the public of pertinent facts.”

Desalination is not rocket science, it's something that people have been doing for hundreds of years, maybe thousands. Of course when it is done on a larger scale, it is done differently that in diy solutions but both approaches have one common problem (regardless of the the technic used, distillation or reverse osmosis): they are energy intensive.

The innovation that this collaboration created is in relation to the specific problem that this process has. The improvement is that not only they used solar power for this process but they actually eliminated the need for batteries. This means that they came up with a solution that tackles the actual problem desalination has. Apart from that they, they successfully tested it in the real world and it looks like they are launching a company in the next months, so it will be available to those who need it.

What do you mean?

One desired outcome — if the movement were to gain enough support — would be to deprive big-time polluters such as BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Shell of the funds they need to keep investing in new oil and gas fields.

In relation to the above passage of the article, here is what the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement has to say about Chevron:

Chevron has been the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by Israel in the Eastern Mediterranean since it acquired Noble Energy in 2020. With its extracting activities, Chevron is implicated in Israel's policy and practice of depriving the Palestinian people of their right to sovereignty over their natural resources. Chevron’s extraction activities generate billions of dollars in revenue for apartheid Israel and its war chest, helping to fund the ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, as well as its regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid and military occupation. Chevron fuels apartheid and environmental devastation.

The BDS Movement issued a call to boycott both Siemens and Chevron in 2022, with campaigning around Chevron previously focused on divestment. Now, we are calling on supporters of Palestinian rights and climate justice to escalate pressure on Chevron by boycotting Chevron gas stations and gas stations owned by Chevron, including Texaco and Caltex. There are thousands of Chevron, Texaco, and Caltex gas and petrol stations worldwide. (...)

Edit: that's the article from January 2024

I believe your response is more accurate. In my reply, I assumed that @punkisundead was referring to the fabricated narrative of the Israeli officials. It looks like my assumption was wrong.

why we should trust the other claims in this article?

You shouldn't trust this article or any media. You should check their claims and decide for yourself depending on what you find. I did this and found out that these claims have been debunked time and time again.

Check out the following links:

• “Between the Hammer and the Anvil” The Story Behind the New York Times October 7 Exposé

• Kibbutz Be’eri Rejects Story in New York Times October 7 Exposé: “They Were Not Sexually Abused”

• Here’s what Pramila Patten’s UN report on Oct 7 sexual violence actually said

• Even Haaretz in an attempt to defend these claims mentions:

In the course of their work, which included photographing faces only and covering the victims ahead of their evacuation, more than 200 bodies were documented. These teams did not document a single case of sexual assault or cases of genital mutilation.

You can find the above and much more evidence on this topic in the video included in this article:

U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts || Council on Foreign Relations || 31 Mai 2024

Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.

I would argue that Zionists started killing children in 1947.
