*The Air Pollution Foundation, which was primarily funded by the lobbying organization Western States Petroleum Association, publicly claimed to want to help solve the smog crisis, but was set up in large part to counter efforts at regulation.* It was informed in 1955 of the future danger of global heating.

* Australia has amended or lapsed at least 16 defence-related export permits to Israel in recent weeks.* This alone won't make Israel stop committing atrocities, but it can blaze the trail for other countries to do so.

[2/3] The misogynists will deserve such rejection, but what will happen to the young men who yearn for kind and tender love with a woman? They will well know that life makes that as unlikely as winning the lottery. They may join the misogynists only because no other path proclaims itself as offering any hope. Sensitive men will see that misogyny is a path to a dead end of twisted hatred, not a path to happiness. But when they reject that path, where could they go instead? They won't

[3/3] see any good path -- only despair. With women hating them sight unseen, trying to be kind and considerate won't be enough to give men an opportunity for love. Even to learn what constitutes "kind and considerate" requires feedback from someone prepared to appreciate you when you make progress, and misandrists will form a solid wall against that. I am so sad for the men and for the women.

[1/3] https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/12/donald-trump-election-sex-men-misogyny-feminism

Women in several countries are responding to arrogant right-wing misogynous men by rejecting all men, for sex or for love. In a place where abortion and birth control are restricted, it is obviously rational for women to reject penis-in-vagina sex with men (except when they seek to get pregnant). This doesn't require rejecting all lovemaking, but that is what these women are doing.

The wrecker has emboldened misogynists to provocatively shout their contempt for women and demand for power over them. Some of them will act this out violently. We must expect to see an increase in rape.

They do provide funds for some useful conservation activities - useful, that is, supposing we do save civilization by preventing global disaster &mdash; but they won't help prevent global disaster.

Many "protected" nature reserves are not protected very effectively; biodiversity is declining within them, due to causes such as drilling for oil. Global heating could also be contributing to that decline. Protecting a specific area of land won't preventing from getting hotter,
