Ilmastonmuutos on kirkkaasti pahin uhka, jonka kohtaamme. Ja toisin kuin useimmat muut uhat, se on peruuttamaton.
Ikävä kyllä hyvin moni tuntuu haluavan tuudittautua kuvitelmaan, ettei se nyt niin paha ole.

Maailmankuulu ilmastotutkija Ylelle: Ilmastonmuutos ei pysähdy siihen, mitä on luultu, vaan tulossa on paljon pahempaa
James Hansenin mukaan olemme polulla, jolla emme halua olla. Päättäjät eivät hänen mukaansa tajua sitä, mitä tutkijat tietävät ilmastonmuutoksesta.

Puolustusministerin kommenttiin: Ukrainasta näkee, mitä tapahtuu, jos ilmapuolustusjärjestelmä on saatu maasta, jolla on epävakaa, itsevaltainen hallinto, ja aseiden saatavuus keskeytyy poliittisista syistä tai koska toimittajamaa käytti ne omiin tarpeisiinsa.

Näin voi käydä Israelinkin kohdalla.

The American negotiating team made a mistake in the spring by offering Putin a generous peace deal without a show of force. Putin has a purely bandit mentality. If you offer a bandit a compromise without first demonstrating strength, he just assumes you are weak.

Klassista on, että jotkut konservatiivit nostavat esiin maahanmuuttajien sosiaaliturvan käytön, mutta jättävät tarkoituksella tämän epämiellyttävän asian pois. Luultavasti siksi, että se rikkoisi tarinan siitä, että vain afrikkalaiset ja arabit nostavat tukia.

The campism becomes nakedly obvious when you watch people deny one or the other based on nothing but whatever is more comfortable for their pre-existing worldview.

It's heartbreaking, actually. A lot of time it's people whose judgement I used to trust.
It's instructive to compare genocide denial in Israel's case with that in Russia's case. People like Walsh would never dream of disputing expert allegations of genocide against Russia. Yet, here they are issuing the same inane apologias on Israel's behalf that tankies do for Russia. 1/2
Hey my friend, don’t lie about me. I’m happy to continue our conversation any time. I haven’t refused anything. How about we continue the conversation next week? Israel has not committed genocide, the only obstacle to peace is the Palestinian people. How about a respectful conversation about that?

And ditto for the tankies. Almost all of them would heartily agree with expert assessments that Israel's committing genocide. But mention expert assessments of Russia's genocide and watch the braindead excuses fly: "It's not genocide, and the Ukrainians are the only obstacle to peace."

One year ago I debated former Rep Joe Walsh on Palestine & Israel.

He committed to responding. One year later—he’s refused, because he knows Israel’s actions are indefensible & genocide

So, I’m declaring victory & sharing the receipts Walsh is unable to refute: www.qasimrashid.com/p/one-year-l...

Totally on brand really: make bold claims against the Persians, then get utterly wrecked.

The difference - and I can't believe I'm about to say something nice about the Spartans - is the Spartans had the good sense to keep with their allies.
