#Pacific islands submit #court proposal for recognition of #ecocide as a #crime

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/law/article/2024/sep/09/pacific-islands-ecocide-crime-icc-proposal

In a submission to the international criminal court on Monday, they propose a change in the rules to recognise “ecocide” as a crime alongside #genocide and war crimes.

If successful, the change could allow for the prosecution of individuals who have brought about environmental destruction, such as the heads of large #polluting companies, or heads of state.

This year, about 300 families from Gardi Sugdub are expected to begin moving to a new #community on the #mainland. The #resettlement plan was initiated by the residents there more than a decade ago when they could no longer deny that the island couldn’t accommodate the growing #population. Rising seas and intense storms are only making the predicament more dire.

Humans pump so much #groundwater that #Earth’s #axis has shifted, #study finds

Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/26/world/pumping-groundwater-earth-axis-shifting-scn/index.html

Between 1993 and 2010, the period examined in the study, humans extracted more than 2,150 gigatons of groundwater from inside Earth, mostly in western North #America and northwestern #India, according to estimates published in 2010. To put that into perspective, if that amount were poured into the #ocean, it would raise global sea levels by about 0.24 inches (6 millimeters).
