May your dunnock always sing ~

Wow ~ candied oranges & lemons used to be a thing we only saw at Christmas

Brighter days ahead ~

Sure. Extinction looms.

Just not yet.

Every 24 hours another c.190,000 of us.

Why will fewer people mean more war by the way ?

Every 1°C of temperature rise the atmosphere carries 7% more water.

It’s a problem with all Big Religion imo. The difference is that Islam has a particular hold on communities in UK where those who speak out against abuses are unsupported.

“Extremists are the snakes in the grass. Moderates are the grass.”

Lubna Zaidi, one such British woman now living in hiding.

Let’s talk about anyone spewing filth inciting hatred & violence.

Let’s above all deal with them equally. Wherever it’s said.

Me, I would remove the tax exempt status of religions.

I’m anti-massacre, anti-land grabbing, anti-cultural erasure, anti-apartheid & anti-shooting kids in the head if that’s what you’re asking.

I’m anti-the UK government’s connivance in it.

I don’t have a political solution to one land two people with leaders committed to each other’s extermination.

You should certainly group all men under the same rules.

There are men and women in jail for holding up a poster.

I accept the word of women & men who grew up Muslim that this venom is spewed in many UK mosques regularly, the rest look the other way & our authorities aren’t interested.

I would accept any societal response which deals with hate speech equally wherever it’s said. But millions feel it isn’t being applied equally & will let it determine their vote

The whole of Islam is an explicitly political movement aspiring to a global caliphate ~ the final unalterable word of God

The fact the Guardian even asks the question ~ oh my what could are close allies be up to ~ indicates the intellectual paralysis in Europe as we try to put off facing the reality of life no longer hiding behind Uncle Sam.

Europe will be stronger defending ourselves decoupled from US bullying.

AMOC is already detectably weakening here in the outer Hebrides. Same time it’s worth remembering the Gulf Stream is a different current driven by Earth rotation & will keep running.

In 1,200 year AMOC shutdown of Younger Dryas, here near the western ocean from Ireland to Shetland trees still grew.

You want to tell that to half a million people presently displaced in Sumatra with no houses, roads, crops, livestock or trees to go back to ?

Just mud, and waiting for the next typhoon to hit.

Or Jamaica, Philippines etc.

Iran’s government is considering evacuating Tehran. 1mm rain in 11 months

How many jobs is AI going to take over in the next ten years ? How many office jobs will be left in ten years ?

Billions of people are living in regions of Earth becoming heat intolerable for more than a well equipped few. Hundreds of millions live on land threatened by rising sea. Millions right now are displaced by catastrophic storms & floods. How many times can they go back & try again ?

Conflating ?

I’m far from certain of that.

c.50% of the world’s calories come from wheat, rice, maize & soy.

Most are grown in monocultures in regions becoming climatically unsuitable.

Ok. What more do you think we want to know ?
