Misinformation and Radical-Right Populism Across 26 Countries Petter Törnberg D ' and Juliana Chueri I 2 Abstract The spread of misinformation has emerged as a global concern. Academic attention has recently shifted to emphasize the role of political elites as drivers of misinformation. Yet, little is known of the relationship between party politics and the spread of misinformation—in part due to a dearth of cross-national empirical data needed for comparative study. This article examines which parties are more likely to spread misinformation. https://doi.org/10.1177/19401612241311886

Excerpts from David Suzuki interview
There are nine planetary boundaries and we've only dealt with one of them - the ozone layer - and we think we've saved ourselves from that threat. But we passed the seventh boundary this year, and we're in the extreme danger zone. Rockström says we have five years to get out of the danger zone. If we pass one boundary, we should be shitting our pants. We've passed seven! And, if you look at those boundaries, like the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, we've had 28 COP meetings on climate change and we haven't been able to cap emissions. Now, it is too late. I've never said this before to the media, but it's too late. I say that because I go by science and Johan Rockström, the Swedish scientist who heads the Potsdam Institute, has defined nine planetary boundaries. These are constraints on how we live. As long as humans, like any other animal, live within those nine constraints, we can do it forever, and that includes the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, the pH of the oceans, the amount of available fresh water, the nitrogen cycle, etc.

Excerpt from David Suzuki interview- 1 of 4 You say we're too late to address climate change? That's a pretty stark quote. Does that mean you're giving up on the fight? I'm not giving up on the immediate years, but the focus on politics, economics, and law are all destined to fail because they are based around humans. They're designed to guide humans, but we've left out the foundation of our existence, which is nature, clean air, pure water, rich soil, food, and sunlight. That's the foundation of the way we live and, when we construct legal, economic and political systems, they have to be built around protecting those very things, but they're not. 2/4 Look, I'm not giving up in the sense of not doing anything, but Trump's election was the dagger in my heart. Trump's win was the triumph of capitalism and neoliberalism, and he's going to wreak havoc. There's nothing we can do about that, except maybe incremental changes. That's not what we need. We need revolution. Can you have a peaceful revolution? I don't know. But I'm saying, as an environmentalist, we have failed to shift the narrative and we are still caught up in the same legal, economic and political systems. 3/4 Governments will not be able to respond on the scale or speed that is needed for these emergencies, so Finland is telling their citizens that they're going to be at the front line of whatever hits and better be sure you're ready to meet it. Find out who on your block can't walk because you're going to have to deal with that. Who has wheelchairs? Who has fire extinguishers? Where is the available water? Do you have batteries or generators? Start assessing the roots of escape. You're going to have to inventory your community, and that's really what we have to start doing now. 4/4 For me, what we've got to do now is hunker down. The units of survival are going to be local communities, so I'm urging local communities to get together. Finland is offering a great example because the Finnish government has sent a letter to all of their citizens warning of future emergencies, whether they're earthquakes, floods, droughts, or storms. They're going to come and they're going to be more urgent and prolonged.

Remember when Trump impersonated a guy to brag himself up?
Ya, this is that. youtu.be/JsYKRUE_D5g?...

Quote: = ZME SCIENCE This discovery-and others like it—has set off alarms across U.S. energy and security circles. For months, experts examining renewable energy equipment imported from China have been quietly finding rogue components in solar inverters and large batteries, two people familiar with the investigations told Reuters. These undocumented communication modules offer an invisible back door into devices that regulate a growing share of the world's electricity. "It effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid," said one of the experts, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Excerpt from the article: How it ended I became an "environmentalist" because of a strong emotional reaction to wild places and the other-than-human world: to beech trees and hedgerows and pounding waterfalls, to songbirds and sunsets, to the flying fish in the Java Sea and the canopy of the rainforest at dusk when the gibbons come to the waterside to feed. From that reaction came a feeling, which became a series of thoughts: that such things are precious for their own sake, that they are food for the human soul, and that they need people to speak for them to, and defend them from, other people, because they cannot speak our language and we have forgotten how to speak theirs. And because we are killing them to feed ourselves and we know it and we care about it, sometimes, but we do it anyway because we are hungry, or we have persuaded ourselves that we are.

He’s a Saskatchewan Cuckservative AKA Republican. Such an ugly petty mentality brag of playing these games. They have no ability-or face it, desire-to “lead”. They just wanna be in control, free to plunder, reward sponsors, and be despicable.Quote from Carney’s new book. Tell Mr.Jeff Seat-Stealer😒
Excerpt from Prime Minister Mark Carny’s new book VALUES: BUILDING A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL Humility matters. It matters because it is an attitude to leading and governing. Not an impediment to acting. Humility is recognising that there will be surprises. I have learned that it is worth asking what could happen if things go wrong, even when you think it unlikely. What if subprime isn't contained? What if a cyberattack is successful? What if there is no deal? Humility admits the limits of our knowledge, that there are unknown unknowns which make resilience and adaptability imperative. The humble can plan for failure, even if they don't know how or when it will happen. Humility allows us to set goals before we know all the answers. If we are humble, we don't think we can make a map of the whole world to chart our course or try to put a price on every value so we can optimise. If we are hum-ble, we can recognise that answers can be found through processes that will bring them out through debate, considering different perspectives and forging consensus. The humble recognise the limits of meritocracy. Humility admits the role of good fortune and the responsibilities that success brings - the duties that should be put into the service of purpose. Being humble is recog-nising that we are custodians of our companies, communities and countries. And that all are equal within. That the common good trumps utilitarianism.
