Amazon, breathe easier. Colombia has just declared 42% of its territory a rainforest reserve. All new large-scale extraction is now off the table in this part of the Amazon. One step closer to the lungs of our planet breathing easy for us all.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

We're worrying less, and we're on our way to enjoying life as much as we did in 2006. Sometimes stats can provide a profound visual poignancy. Look at how the nadir of COVID is represented in this graph, and the gradual release from peak worry we've been experiencing.

An 'Alliance' feels like a pretty powerful thing to be part of, especially one with a clever, catchy name. No wonder so many countries have joined the 'Powering Past Coal Alliance' (see what they did there?) Morocco's the latest, with a pledge to be coal-free by 2050.
