*Rwanda denies entry to senior human rights researcher.*

There have been credible accusations against President Kagame, and his interference with efforts to investigate them lends them credibility.

Unprecedented rain has flooded the city of Porto Alegre. Global heating is causing this sort of disaster in many parts of the world.

*OpenAI researcher resigns, claiming safety has taken "a backseat to shiny products."*

As far as I know, "Open"AI does not develop any products — only (dis-)services based on unreleased software that users can't even have as executables.

*A 1°C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world gross domestic product, researchers have found.*

The German group "Last Generation" blocked the operation of Munich Airport to call attention to the danger of global heating disaster. The group's name refers to the fact that future generations' lives are likely to be cut short by climate chaos.

I agree that this tactic seems to be ineffective, but we can't blame them for taking drastic actions when confronted by a problem that can expect to kill them, while the public, like most governments, ignores it.
