The Supreme Court made it harder for states to protect wetlands and other aspects of the environment, giving landowners priority.

If taxes on the rich and business were high enough, we could afford to "compensate" landowners when their land must be protected.

The UK adopted long-term CO2 emissions targets but its actual policies are insufficient to achieve them.

A long-term target is a handy a way to avoid real action.

Obama stated possibly significant plans to reduce CO₂ emissions, but the details will determine whether they amount to anything.

If he is honest, he cannot deny that the Keystone XL pipeline will greatly increase CO2 emissions. But he may yet look for an excuse to pretend it is not so.

The Natural Resources Defense Council supports the plan, and so does Greenpeace, but even if it is carried out in a substantial way, it won't go far enough to prevent global heating disaster.

The UK government persistently sends asylum seekers back to be tortured, even if they were tortured again since the previous time they were denied asylum.

If the state would rather not give them asylum, it should do more to discourage torture in their home countries.

US citizens: tell Israel's ambassador to the US that you oppose Israel's plan to force 40,000 bedouin out of their homes.

Everyone else: sign this petition about the same point.
