Naturalist, environmentalist, climate activist, nature photographer, very woke and proud of it.
This supports my thread yesterday, that the media repeatedly report, what are clearly climate change related matters, in terms of it just being weather. Never mentioning climate change. This is not accidental.
Just mind-boggling that climate breakdown isn't even mentioned in this piece
Despite the fact that it is driving more powerful storms, higher sea level, bigger waves and more intense rainfall
People - apparently even the reporting journalist - still don't get it

"A powerful cabal, or corporate interests" - should obviously read "of" and not "or".
The climate crisis is a choice. A powerful cabal, or corporate interests, oligarchs, and the very rich, have secretly decided, that the public will just have to put up with the impacts of climate change and are attempting to gaslight the public, using the corporate and oligarch controlled media.

I suppose, technically, Sir Jim Ratcliffe was right, that Britain has been colonized by immigrants. Boat people too. That's what Anglo-Saxons were, immigrant boat people who came to Britain, and swamped the native culture.

As I said in my thread yesterday, the thing that stands out most in this scandal, is the way the US authorities have gone to huge lengths to avoid speaking to victims, and failing to investigate this matter.
The Trump regime is the worst, but the fact is, this has been going on since 2005.

In case it wasn't clear, what I was saying, is that without further investigation by those with the power to arrest, obtain search warrants and bring charges, examining the Epstein files will just cause further confusion, by muddying the waters, because the answer isn't in them.
