Judicial reviews serve the common good
Rather than castigating public-spirited ordinary people concerned by planning problems, the Government should focus on properly resourcing the planning and legal systems

As #COP30 opens in Brazil, States must ensure that human rights defenders are not sidelined. They are key stakeholders in climate action, yet too often obstructed or excluded from the process. To achieve a just transition, we need HRDs at the table.

I quite enjoyed a lot of the takedowns of Bill Gates' EA brain snap on climate. It is really deadassed in a number of ways.
But no-one mentioned the most important thing. He isn't *just* full of shit. He knows he is full of shit.
