*'Sleeping giant' Arctic methane deposits starting to release, scientists find.*

This could be a disastrous tipping point.

The Tory Party is fighting desperately against public demand to give lunch gratis to children whose families are poor.

One minister said that this refusal is a matter of principle. Which principle, I wonder? [Irony] Perhaps the principle of stinginess? Or maybe it is, "Each family must sink or swim on its own — no helping others!" Or maybe, "Never help the poor! If the government helps a poor person once. people will expect the government to give the poor help every time they need it."[/irony]

The Tories want to take away people's right to challenge bureaucrats' decisions by going to court.

The wrecker's latest slogan:
Make America a Grave Again.

Amnesty International criticizes governments for blocking a proposal in the World Trade Organization to waive patents on treatment for Covid-19. The governments which opposed it are evidently under the power of plutocracy.

Approving that proposal would have been a step forward, but the WTO's patent rules are unjust all the time — for poor countries especially, but ultimately for all countries.

The parts of the TRIPES agreement (Trade-Restricting Impediments to Production, Education and Science) concerning copyrights and patents ought to be abolished.
