$500bn is roughly equivalent to annual global investment in solar PV.
This helps explain why the oil-and-gas industry is needing to "run fast to stay still", spending $500bn a year just to maintain current output
Production rates from each field are declining increasingly rapidly

speaking of political assassinations, today we denounce again the dark beginning of neoliberalism, the assassination of Salvador Allende in Chile, a military coup backed by United States.

The U.S. set the stage for a coup in Chile. It had unintended consequences at home
When the U.S. role in the 1973 coup in Chile became known, activists took action. So did U.S. lawmakers. This is what happened after the U.S. helped topple a Marxist and aided a right-wing dictator.

An illegally occupying army builds a concentration camp for every man, woman and child of an occupied land and decrees that those who will not be voluntarily interned in that camp will be ELIMINATED. Is there a more accurate definition of GENOCIDE?
