Prince William attending Cop30 is A. Very. Good. Thing. It's likely that him going will persuade Keir Starmer, who is reportedly wavering, to do the same. If this Cop fails, as is all too likely, humanity will fail with it ☠️

It's crucial world leaders attend.

Please, let the cease fire hold, and become a true peace 🕊️ I do not feel very optimistic, but not to hope would be to give evil total power over my mind.

And "Friends of Ed" (Martin) have bought Dominion Voting Systems and it's now called "Liberty".

So when JD Vance wins the WH in 2028 and our vaunted media instruct us that "America has SPOKEN!" maybe take it with a grain of salt.

Just want to know: are they now going to give Fox back its $787M?

Well, from what I read so far, too many are now going in the opposite direction, encouraged by Trump. And emissions weren't going down anyway... still on the same trajectory as we were before renewables set in. We just use more and more energy in total. It's not looking good.

Hi Jan. Have you seen that the Govt seem to have supressed an important report by UK defense chiefs (JIT) into the impact of climate change on UK security? (Including food/economic security.) Just a little way down my feed - piece from the Guardian, is worth a read.

So poignant, watching them walk north, in hope... so hard for them, the not knowing whether it will stick. They've been disappointed so many times...

Looks like No. 10 has blocked the launch of a crucial report from UK defence chiefs that says UK national security is under severe threat from the climate crisis/looming collapse of vital natural ecosystems, with food shortages & economic disaster potentially just years away.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This is one of the critical questions for humanity right. We have to learn how to contain persuasive and manipulative psychopaths instead of promoting the to top leadership positions.
