Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?

Dans son dernier bilan, le ministère de la santé de la bande de Gaza recense au moins 2 326 personnes tuées depuis le 18 mars – date à laquelle l’armée israélienne a mis fin à deux mois de trêve avec le Hamas et a repris son offensive dans la bande de Gaza –, ce qui porte à 52 418 le nombre total de morts dans le territoire palestinien dévasté en près de dix-neuf mois de guerre.
