A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.
People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action.

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

The fall of Britian from globe spanning empire to isolated, backwards little island is especially tragic. All those centuries of global oppression and cruelty, all for what? So they could go back to eating mushy peas and distrusting foreigners?

He claimed that fentanyl was flooding in from Canada, too. When he wants something, he'll just say whatever sounds plausible as an excuse to get what he wants.

So is he just the most unhinged pathological liar in history, or is he actually suffering from hallucinations? Both?
Attacking your own cities over a fake, made up “crisis” is a really good way to kill a nation.

I was well over 30 when I wrote and published my first novel, and fully agree with you!
When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?
