A government monitoring committee finds that Tories have neglected their long-term commitments on policies to protect wildlife in Britain.

This seems to be the standard Tory approach to any scandalous problem: to proclaim themselves scandalized, discuss measures to reduce the problems, then are slow in carrying out the promises. Months or years later they forget or cancel the plans, still unimplemented.

A few years ago, British deportation of people who were lawfully brought from the Caribbean as children, but cannot now prove that was lawful for want of necessary old documents, caused a scandal and the Tories promised to correct this and compensate them. But now they plan to quit early.

Governor DeMentis and the Florida Republicans plan to permanently prohibit companies from requiring Covid-19 vaccination, or requiring wearing and prohibit medical boards from disqualifying doctors for spreading Covid-19 disinformation.

A study concluded that over 90% of carbon offsets for sale under the Verra standard were likely to be bogus. It has been a tempting avenue for fraud.

I don't trust these offsets. When a business makes statements about greenhouse gas emissions that are based on offsets, I don't take them seriously.
