#Danish and #Swedish officials on Tuesday said two leaks had been identified on the #NordStream 1 #Russia - #Europe gas pipeline in the #BalticSea.
The news came only hours after a similar development on its twin pipeline, Nord Stream 2. Both conduits have become flash points in the escalating energy war that has sent gas prices rocketing since Russia invaded #Ukraine.
Officials said a pressure drop was detected in the Nord Stream 1 undersea gas channel soon after a similar fall was detected in Nord Stream 2.
Both of Nord Stream 1's two lines are affected, while one of Nord Stream 2's pipelines showed a drop in pressure.
Mikhail Krutikhin, an energy analyst from the RusEnergy consultancy, told DW that initial evidence clearly pointed to sabotage, and said that a key question going forward would be whether the damage originated inside or outside the pipe. He said the shape of the damaged segments of pipe should indicate this.
And if one have given you the #choice of your #nationality, which one would you have chosen ? #Cameroonian, #Ukrainian, #French, #American, #Swedish, #Chinese #Turkish #Russian #Australian?
Swedish Torch - "Blast furnace" style
Update number four on the ongoing swedish torch project. This time, i got my first one burning .......... for a short amount of time at least.....
It's still _WAY_ to wet to burn nicely ..... but well, while i need to sort out some problems with the drill extension anyways, i'm thinking about artificially drying the wood somehow...
At least, i got way enough fuel for some lots of days with lots of heat now.... ;)

Third update to the ongoing swedish torch project.
I finally got one done in 'Blast furnace style'.. Drilling 13cm deep with 3,5cm width is not really fun... Going on to this task with my cordless drill wasn't my brightest idea either.....
But well, first i had to organize the tools (aka drills) for this endeavor anyways.
But it's done!! Mkay, at least, the first one.... Easily 8 or so to follow.
*sigh* ;)
Second round of making swedish torches.
This time, i decided to first cut some nice pieces of wood to get them done later, so i sorted through the pile and got me some 10 or so readily cut pieces.. After that, there was not that much good reachable wood on the pile anymore and i got down to saw some torches ready for drying and use...
So i in the end got a nice pile of ready cut swedish torches now ... and a smaller pile of cut pieces to drill out with a wood drill later on for some blast-furnace style torches..
Now i wonder how long i might have to maybe cut more pieces over time.. We're waiting for some farmer coming with his tractor and a big shredder to get rid of all that wood.... ;)
At least, we now have enough swedish torches for easily 2 years of barbeque fun. ;)

So far for the endeavor to #DIY some swedish torches from the remains of the trees...
let's say, it works well when you have a chainsaw at hand..
I just had to stop as i ran out of chainsaw oil and power.. Meaning myself in the latter one.
But _hey_! I got the spoons together to get myself clothed, grab the chainsaw and at least make some few torches before i had enough and called it a day....
In the meantime, my landlord writes me, he put some additional oil into the staircase/entry area... muh ... no thx, tomorrow maybe.
As you can see ...... there are a LOT of swedish torches to make. ;)
4 for this day is ok. ;)

Finally, we leave for #Swedish #Lapland, in August, with the desire to meet #swedes, #samis, to walk in the #Abisko park and maybe to climb to the top of #Kebnekaise. With that a little bit of horse and canoe... train and some visits... If you have any tips, memories, things to share, please comment here
Slutligen åker vi till #Svensk Lapland i augusti, med en önskan om att träffa svenskar och #samer, vandra i Abisko park och kanske klättra till toppen av Kebnekaise. Med det lite häst och kanot... tåg och några besök... Om du har några tips, minnen, saker att dela med dig av, kommentera gärna här.
Finalement, nous allons en #Laponie suédoise en août, avec l'envie de rencontrer des Suédois et des #Samis, de faire de la randonnée dans le parc d'Abisko et peut-être de monter au sommet du Kebnekaise. Avec cela quelques chevaux et canoës... train et quelques visites... Si vous avez des conseils, des souvenirs, des choses à partager, veuillez commenter ici.

More of everything
A film about Swedish Forestry
Subtitles are available in #English, #German, #Portuguese, #Finnish and #Swedish
Mankind has caused a two-fold global existential crisis. Interlinked threats of climate change and loss of biodiversity are now our most difficult challenges. The policy decisions made in the next few years will be critical. How we manage the world’s forests is central to maintaining biodiversity, protecting ecosystem functions and preserving the climate. Halting the destruction and fragmentation of natural forests as well as restoring, expanding and adapting the world’s forests to climate change is fundamental.
Scientists and the environmental movement have for decades warned about the negative effect that burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) has on climate and environment. There is no question - the fossil era is over. We must urgently phase out fossil energy, as quickly as possible. The focus, however, must be on reducing all combustion and decreasing energy use, not to replace one carbon-source with another.
At the international level and within the EU, various solutions and policies aim to regulate emissions and stimulate what is hoped to be sustainable solutions. Biofuels from forests are highlighted as a climate-friendly important piece of the puzzle by lobbyists from the biomass and forest industry. In the film, we ask whether burning trees really is a climate-smart alternative?
Decisions will be made, or have already been made, on climate and energy policies that affect the world’s forests. Policies on bio-economy and energy from biomass risk being in strong conflict with protecting biodiversity and mitigating climate change.
The Swedish forestry model is promoted as a success story, promising both climate change mitigation and safeguarding of biodiversity, but is this really true? In this film, a number of prominent independent scientists and experts are helping us examine the claims that the forest industry is spreading about the Swedish forestry model and the bio-economy.
The impact of the Swedish forestry model is not limited to Sweden but has implications for the rest of the world as well. Some of the world’s and EU’s largest forestry, hygiene, paper, furniture and wood companies such as SCA, Holmen, Stora Enso, Sveaskog, IKEA and Essity, all originate from or have their base in Sweden. Some of these companies source wood and pulp and operate in many parts of the world, thus spreading the Swedish forestry model around the globe.
In times of climate change, the forest industry claims to hold the magic wand: Wood. Wood is to be used for everything from energy, disposable articles in cardboard and paper, packaging and makeup, to fuel, for an ever-expanding transport sector. To push this narrative, the forest industry spends millions on advertising, public relations and lobbying in order to present their products and raw materials as the solution for a sustainable future. Representatives of the forest industry and members of Swedish parliament praise the Swedish forestry model which they claim has taken Sweden from ”a more or less deforested nation” hundred years ago to a rich forested nation today.
The forest industry portrays Sweden as a country with vast and increasing forests. The industry goes as far as to claim that: “The forest industry is making biodiversity possible” and that Swedish forestry is balancing the needs of the economy and the environment, and that 2 to 3 trees are being planted for each tree that is felled. Slogans like; for more than 100 years Sweden has been planting more trees than it cuts down, are being spread.
More of everything?
Can we really say that a planted monoculture of pine or spruce in straight lines is a forest? Or is a forest something more than just trees?

Den älskande
Mina ögon vill kyssa ditt ansikte.
Jag har ingen makt över mina ögon.
De vill bara kyssa ditt ansikte.
Jag strömmar mot dig ur mina ögon,
och dallrar kring dina skuldror av en fin hetta
som långsamt löser upp dina konturer
och jag är hos dig, hos din mun
och överallt omkring dig –
jag har ingen makt över mina ögon.Jag sitter med mina händer i skötet,
jag rör dig inte och jag ska aldrig tala.
Men mina ögon kysser ditt ansikte,
jag stiger ur mig själv och ingen kan hindra mig,
detta outgrundliga flöde kan jag inte stanna,
detta lysande som varken vet av slut eller början –
men när du slutligen vänder dina ögon mot mig,
dina ovetande, frågande, dina främmande ögon,
sänker jag mig själv i mina händer
och återvänder under mina ögonlock.
-- Solveig von Schoultz (1907-1996)
