Slowing down climate defense action will result in increased heat and increased damage, even if it still reaches "net zero" by 2050.

*Approving new oil and gas fields only increased the already large amount of reserves that will have to be kept in the ground if global heating limits are to be reached.* But what's the point of developing more reserves if it doesn't lead to extracting a larger quantity? Obviously the planet roasters will extract more, meaning they are lying if they claim they won't.

Denmark is revising its dictionary of Danish to achieve more gender equality by coining words to balance out points of inequality.

I support this, because the goal is a good one and there is no wrong in it.

Contrast this with the demand made in Spain to delete antisemitic word definitions from the official dictionary. Using those words expresses bigotry, and those who use them deserve criticism for that. But hiding their existence by deleting them from the dictionary is dishonesty about facts.

The Tory Party is suffering disaster among its supporters.

If only there were a party that supported democracy, human rights, and partial socialism that they could vote for.

McCarthy allowed a stopgap funding resolution to be voted on; most Democrats and most Republicans voted for it. The only harmful part was that it aids Putin (and global fascism) by denying funds for Ukraine's defense.

The Tories' approval of a giant new oilfield, which will be paid for 90% by state funds, totally trashes the idea of decarbonization. And Starmer-Labour supports it too.
