The opposition to freeing the manufacture of Covid-19 vaccines is now coming mainly from Germany, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

The vaccine waiver is vitally necessary, but what we really need is much more. The TRIPES agreement (Trade-Restricting Impediments to Production, Education and Science) was designed to elevate business over people; it is an implementation of trickle-down. We should get rid of it.

The large "Bootleg" fire in Oregon has burned 90,000 acres of trees that were sold as a carbon offset. The assumption was that they would keep growing and keep on taking CO2 out of the air. However, all the carbon in those trees has been converted back to CO2.

I've warned since 2007 that this is a risky assumption in a world of global heating.

*Airlines need to do more than plant trees to hit net zero, MPs told.*

*UK faces legal action over North Sea oilfield exploration plans. Greenpeace threatens to take government to court as approval risk[s] undermining climate targets.*

Extreme rain is causing flooding in more areas of China. I hope this wakes up the Chinese government to the urgency of curbing global heating. China is only starting to slow its increase in greenhouse emissions, and it will suffer greatly if the world does not unite to lower emissions and quickly.
