With Israel's threats to annex territory in the Lebanon. And it's obvious attempts to provoke the US into intervention in Iran.

Are we looking at the start of a regional conflict?

This article goes over the key point of contention.

The group was filming about 2km away from Israeli shelling when they were struck by an Israeli tank shell, which killed 37-year-old Abdallah, investigations by Amnesty International and HRW found.

Just 37 seconds later, the group was struck by an unknown munition that destroyed a car used by Al Jazeera, wounding the remaining six journalists. Reuters’ own investigation found that both rounds were fired by Israeli tanks.

Why is the EU so addicted to bad energy policy. First a gas pipeline from Russia now nuclear power stations.

Renewables could be online quicker and cheaper. And where are we going to get fuel for them, from Russia?

This is a party drowning. They are clutching onto any right wing trope they can find just to keep afloat. The clever ones are positioning themselves for a leadership contest. All trying to be the be a new iron lady to a political party that is stuck in the 80s. A dull rehash of ethnonationlism and failed economic prattle.

Every morning when they get up and look in the mirror, they are faced with their own irrelevance.

From another thread it has been pointed out that many people don't really understand graphs. This was a revelation for me as for whatever reason I usually skip the text and go straight for the graph.

This graph terrifies me.

But how do we communicate it? And how de we explain that net zero is greenwash. That planing a few trees doesn't make Taylor Swift's private jet net zero?

That we need to do everything we can, now.
