RUTA - biljno blago koje lovca štiti i od uroka!

Objavljeno u Novosti iz prirode

Ruta, koja pripada porodici rutovki (Rutaceae), biljka je paradoksa: ljekovita, začinska, ali može biti i toksična; aromatična, a po nekima, donekle i smrdljiva; ona je prirodni insekticid, ali i zdrava hrana leptira.

  • China and Saudi Arabia among nations receiving climate loans, analysis reveals

    Investigation by Guardian and Carbon Brief finds just a fifth of funds to fight global heating went to poorest 44 countries

    China and wealthy petrostates including Saudi Arabia and UAE are among countries receiving large sums of climate finance, according to an analysis.

    The Guardian and Carbon Brief analysed previously unreported submissions to the UN, along with data from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), that show how billions of dollars of public money is being committed to the fight against global heating.

  • Row over definition of ‘gender’ hangs over Cop30 plans to support women

    Advocates say conservative states’ push to define gender as ‘biological sex’ would backslide on decade-old language within the UN

    A row over the definition of the term “gender” threatens to bog down pivotal talks at the Cop30 climate summit.

    Before the UN talks in Brazil, hardline conservative states have pushed to define gender as “biological sex” over their concerns trans and non-binary people could be included in a major plan to ensure climate action addresses gender inequality and empowers women.

  • The great escape: seal flees killer whales by jumping on to photographer’s boat

    Charvet Drucker captures dramatic video and photos of seal being hunted by orcas in Salish Sea, north-west of Seattle

    A wildlife photographer on a whale-watching trip in waters off Seattle captured dramatic video and photos of a pod of killer whales hunting a seal that survived only by clambering on to the stern of her boat.

    Charvet Drucker was on a rented 20ft (6 metre) boat near her home on an island in the Salish Sea about 40 miles north-west of Seattle when she spotted a pod of at least eight killer whales, also known as orcas.

  • ‘We’re proud to be pioneers’: inside Spain’s community energy revolution

    From Taradell to Galicia, cooperatives are supplying cheap, clean electricity to homes and helping tackle fuel poverty

    It began in the small Catalan town of Taradell as a plan to provide local people with allotments where they could grow their own food.

    Four activists came together with the aim of promoting good environmental practices in local agriculture and business, as well as supplying renewable energy. The project, however, was about much more than growing vegetables.

  • Not so Golden Brown: DJ plays 24-hours of No 2s in Lake District sewage protest

    Radio host uses chart songs that didn’t quite make top spot to highlight issue of Windermere pollution

    If you Sit Down and wonder why Britain’s streams, rivers and lakes are so filthy, you’re probably Holding Out for a Hero to halt this Scandalous discharge of sewage.

    Step forward the Lake District Radio DJ Lee Durrant, who will go Radio Ga Ga with a 24-hour live broadcasting marathon on Friday, playing songs that peaked at No 2 in the charts to highlight the ongoing stench of not quite Golden Brown “number twos” floating downstream.

  • Country diary: Autumn is a time to rake in the wildlife | Phil Gates

    Crook, County Durham: There’s a contemplative pleasure to gathering up the leaves this time of year, and it’s a benefit to legions of invertebrates and toadstools too

    I can hear the distant, angry growl of a leaf blower, carried on the wind, nature’s leaf blower. Otherwise, it’s quiet here in the garden, sheltered by a high hedge, raking fallen leaves, one of autumn’s contemplative tasks, reviving memories of watching for first signs of their unfurling in spring, and sitting in their shade during summer’s heatwaves.

    An ever-changing palette of colours settles on the path: today, burnt orange and cinnamon shades of Amelanchier, crimson spindle, yellow hawthorn, scarlet cherry foliage. What to do with them? There are too many to consign to the compost heaps. Send them away in the garden waste wheelie bin? Corral them in a chicken wire cage until they eventually become crumbly leaf mould? There’s another option: raking them back under the trees and hedge, into the flowerbeds, closing a loop in the cycle of life. Six years of doing just that has produced some wonderful displays of woodland toadstools. First to show this year were clusters of lilac-tinted wood blewits (Lepista nuda), followed by sepia boletes (Xerocomellus porosporus) with domed caps cracked like crazy paving. Pallid, warty puffballs are shouldering aside layers of decay, ready to shed their spores.

  • Amid squabbles, bombast and competing interests, what can Cop30 achieve?

    Climate summit in Brazil needs to find way to stop global heating accelerating amid stark divisions

    “It broke my heart.” Surangel Whipps, president of the tiny Pacific nation of Palau, was sitting in the front row of the UN’s general assembly in New York when Donald Trump made a long and rambling speech, his first to the UN since his re-election, on 23 September.

    Whipps was prepared for fury and bombast from the US president, but what followed was shocking. Trump’s rant on the climate crisis – a “green scam”, “the greatest con job ever perpetrated”, “predictions made by stupid people” – was an unprecedented attack on science and global action from a major world leader.

  • Less arguing, more action: will Brazil’s unorthodox approach to Cop30 work?

    Host uses Indigenous concepts and changes agenda to help delegates agree on ways to meet existing climate goals

    Shipping containers, cruise ships, river boats, schools and even army barracks have been pressed into service as accommodation for the 50,000 plus people descending on the Amazon: this year’s Cop30 climate summit is going to be, in many ways, an unconventional one.

    Located in Belém, a small city at the mouth of the Amazon river, the Brazilian hosts have been criticised for the exorbitant cost of scarce hotel rooms and hastily vacated apartments. Many delegations have slimmed down their presence, while business leaders have decamped to hold their own events in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

  • Lula’s balancing act: Cop30 Amazon summit juggles climate and social priorities

    Brazil’s president welcomes world leaders while navigating divided government, promising action on deforestation and emissions

    Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has welcomed world leaders to Belém for the first climate summit in the Amazon, where conservationists hope he can be a champion for the rainforest and its people.

    But with a divided administration, a hostile Congress and 20th-century developmentalist instincts, this global figurehead of the centre left has a balancing act to perform in advocating protection of nature and a reduction of emissions.
