Genocide is this:
The problem is the long-term general failure of Govts to take air pollution seriously - indoors and outdoors. How can it be acceptable that a child in a pushchair gets traffic exhaust pumped at them on roads? How are well insulated homes being protected against indoor air pollution?
Labour at war with the justice system. They didn't like some jury decisions so juries must be removed whoever it suits them. And our under-funded Justice system staggers on with huge queues of cases and crumbling buildings.

No wonder @zackpolanski.bsky.social is a hugely popular politician.
He answers truthfully & speaks in plain English.

The president of Israel says that Iran does not adhere to any rule of international law.
A UN independent commission of inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza & the Israeli president incited the commission of genocide.
The climate crisis is a food crisis, but βThe UK is one of the least food self-sufficient countries in Europe.β Nor do we stockpile food the way other countries do, making us very vulnerable to shocks in a very centralised system.

Starmer's attempt to play both sides has failed. He tried to look tough on Trump, but failed to condemn the illegal attack.
Then he let US bombers pit stop here.
He's dragged us into the war, and still managed to damage our reputation with the USA in the process.
International Women's Day is a chance to celebrate the power, resilience and brilliance of women - but it is also a call to action.

Did you knowβ
The US military βroutinelyβ uses CIVILIAN airports in Britain βfor operational, training or transitory purposesβ.
The Conservative government admitted this in 2023. Now, Starmerβs has drawn a veil of secrecy over this issue.

@zarahsultana.bsky.social : "70% of the British public oppose joining this illegal war, & that demo you referenced.. we remember Iraq.. the lies.. the manufactured consent, we remember the death, devastation & instability that the Middle East has been left with and we cannot go down that path again"

Geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East once again shows that reliance on volatile oil and gas exposes economies to price shocks.
Renewables, electrification and storage offer more stable long term energy costs and stronger energy security.

Reform is reactionary and barely conceals it's neofascist values. That it's strongest appeal seems to be to the over 65 age group is heartening. That their support in polls is edging down, and their by election record shows signs of stalling at best, is good. Voting Green is hopeful too.
2) Overshoot will not be temporary or even reversible. Some of the proposed plans to reverse temperatures are, upon inspection, extremely threadbare, serving as little more than mood music intended to maintain optimism. The reality is that large-scale carbon dioxide removal, does not exist. 5/11
Russia is sending election operatives to Hungary to prop up Orban. The dirty tricks to support Putinβs puppet in the EU will be off the chart.
The acceleration of global warming is a lot less frightening than the Climate complacent Govts who are allied with FF corporations/motor/aviation/shipping/ interests to stop or minimalise action to reduce GHGs.
