Suppression of climate data built up by decades of hard working scientists dedicated to measuring and understanding planetary health. Removing facilities that measure climate change will not change US exposure to its catastrophic consequences 🔥🌀🌊🌪️
The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.
Trump moves to close facility that helps track planet-warming pollution
The lab is connected to the Mauna Loa Observatory, where scientists gather data to produce the Keeling Curve, a chart on the daily status of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

Nestle spends millions bribing & lobbying congress to vote against paid maternity leave. Why?
Because women on maternity leave, are 50% more likely to continue breast feeding, instead of putting their child on baby formula, which Nestle just so happens to sell

In 2024 esure were the first insurance company to reveal that default 20mph limits in Wales had reduced damage claims by 20% with a £50 reduction in premiums than otherwise would have been the case. Now others are showing 20mph = fewer crashes = lower premiums. See 24:30 mins in to BBC R4 Today.

Are you a local politician? If so, I have a challenge for you:
1) Borrow a wheelchair, and spend at least 1 week/year getting around your city in a wheelchair.
2) Cycle commute for at least 1 week/year
3) Walk to work for at least 1 week/year
These will be eye-opening to you!

It was Tony Blair and George W. Bush that flouted the UN over Iraq in March 2003. Neither had a leg to stand on when the Russians went into South Ossetia in 2008
David Lammy: Unless Putin fails, we could plunge into a world where the principles enshrined in the UN Charter will have lost their meaning.
Also David Lammy: *sends weapons to a genocidal colony breaching every UN principle and international law known to man*
