deeply wild clip of a fossil fuel economist on norway's state broadcaster claiming

- 3 degrees of warming is a "problem we can live with"
- Extreme weather is not a threat to human welfare
- We need to dig up Norwegian oil and gas to help 'poor Africans in huts' get rid of polluting cooking fuels

Hahahaha. No, it didn't. Trump has no feelings for anyone apart from himself.

This was put out by PR department.

So, Spain is part of the BRICS group (Brazil, Ruzzia, India, China and South Africa) because of some made up stuff?

Spain WAS part of the so-called PIGS group (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain), an assortment of struggling mediterranean economies, back in the day.

Common mistake. Trump made it too.

Russians hit maternity hospitals and kindergartens on purpose.

This forms part of one of the five definitions of genocide: "Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group".

They don't hold back on the other four definitions either.

People who are generally upset with how their lives are going, and also feel there are too many people around who look different, can never actually be appeased.

Not by Brexit, not by eliminating FoM, not by new taxes or fees, not by ending ILR, not by denaturalizing not by anything.

“Extreme” wildfires emitted more than 8bn tonnes of carbon dioxide during the 2024-25 “global fire season”, according to the annual “state of wildfires” report. 👩🏽‍🚒🌳

Fires burned at least 3.7m square kilometres of land – an area larger than India.

In a radio interception, specialists from the Main Intelligence Directorate recorded evidence of another war crime committed by the Russian occupation army — an order to kill civilians attempting to leave the combat zone.

Two photos of today haunt me: a civilian lying dead beside his car in the Donetsk region, and an elderly woman in Kherson next to her goats. Both killed — hunted — by russian drones. Both murders were deliberate.

Those who support russia share the guilt and the blood on their hands.

Or, maybe, the fact that you can't put petrol in your car might be a teensy disincentive to buying a new one.

Oh, God, no. Netanyahu is evil too. I just meant that he is just more efficiently evil because Israel is closer to Gaza, has better weapons and the Palestinians have little to fight back with.

😠 Russia’s ombudswoman admitted she took an orphaned boy from Mariupol to Russia — even though he disliked Russia and didn’t want to live there.

Maria Lvova-Belova said she met the boy while “going through basements and collecting children under shelling” in Mariupol.

Except that Putin's not inspired by Netanyahu, Russians have been invading countries and carrying out ethnic cleansing in their new territories for centuries.

Netanyahu is taking a page out of the Russian/Nazi Germany playbook. And doing it more efficiently because he can.

Resettling of ethnic russians to the occupied lands while locals are forced to flee genocide or thrown into torture prisons is russia's state policy. Now he argues that Ukraine must capitulate based on what ethnic russians moved to Crimea since 2014 think.

Two more weeks, eh? There has been lots of puffing and blowing about how the US Senate has been going to sanction Russia. And it has been going on for months.

It was always just a smokescreen. No-one is ever going to have the balls to cross Trump.

The bill promises punishing sanctions on Russia and its allies who consume its energy products, and imposes tariffs of up to 500%
