A + B + C ≠ D’s cumulative lesson
Europe has failed to learn from history’s examples—and ignored three distinct geopolitical developments, Jo Inge Bekkevold writes.

Britain’s food supply is precarious – and Trump’s chaos is spreading. I have a plan. Do you? | George Monbiot

FUN FACT: Microplastics are stopping plants from photosynthesising.
But don’t worry, that only impacts
- the air we breathe
- the food we eat
- the joy of living alongside the beauty of nature on this planet
- the food source and habitat of every other being on this planet
….oh wait.
