This article is from two years ago. 3 billion people will be displaced by climate change. The only solution is to act on climate change. No legal bill will stop people fleeing from disaster on this scale. Our government know this.

Is the world ready for mass migration due to climate change?
With up to three billion people expected to be displaced by climate change by 2100, does there need to be a shift in the way we think about national borders, asks Gaia Vince?

Now the UK is chasing global trade deals - India, US, EU, China
Happy for UK water, energy, airports, ports, steel, auto, rail rolling stock to be owned by foreign investors.

The fact that it took so much energy (largely yours, Mark) to have that piece of shit removed from publication tells you how entrenched the trolling and minimising has become.
Owning the truth is admitting you fucked up and have decimated a huge number of kids.

They're still pretending long COVID doesn't affect kids, based on hobby science and the fact that the bar for quality in clinical studies is incredibly low.
🧵An example of the shenanigans and junk science accepted in medical journals.
In September 2023, JAMA Pediatrics published a ludicrously bad paper (quasi-retracted after much effort) claiming long COVID is "strikingly rare" in kids, supposedly vs the WHO definition.
