Deforestation: Another misleading Biden representation:
“Global deforestation dropped by just 6.3 percent in 2021, leaving the world off track from its goal of ending forest loss by 2030.
Deforestation last year unleashed 3.8 billion tons of emissions, roughly as much as the EU.”

“Give peace a chance? Not a chance! $$$
How is it that the Biden administration and many other members of Congress are not interested in negotiating a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine? Even when all the polling says that is what the US citizens want. As always- follow the money$$$$
At least 20 federal lawmakers or their spouses (on both sides of the aisle) hold stock in Raytheon Technologies and Lockheed Martin, which manufacture the weapons Western allies are sending Ukraine to fight Russian invaders, according to an Insider analysis of federal financial records. Some bought their stocks just as the war was beginning in late February 2022. See the complete list in the article.
The stock holdings by members of Congress came as Congress approved $40 billion in defense and other aid to Ukraine. Both companies' stock — especially that of Lockheed Martin — have risen since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
And of course these industries are big donors for both parties' campaigns. No law prohibits lawmakers from sitting on congressional committees, writing legislation, or voting on bills that might affect them financially. But recently momentum had grown for bill 'S.3494 - Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act', banning lawmakers from trading stocks altogether- until it was shelved. No surprise.”

A new report uses hyperlocal data and climate projections to show that cities as far north as Chicago could have many more days of extreme heat each year.”
If you live on earth somewhere between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn you need to move out toward the respective North or South Pole. People are already showing at emergency rooms with symptoms that are consistent with being cooked alive.

“Human Reform Politics” on Facebook:
“The goal of a good society is to structure social relations and institutions so that cooperative and generous impulses are rewarded, while antisocial ones are discouraged.
The problem with capitalism is that it best rewards the worst part of us: ruthless, competitive, conniving, opportunistic, acquisitive drives giving little reward and often much punishment – or at least much handicap – to honesty, compassion, fair play, many forms of hard work, love of justice, and a concern for those in need.” Michael parenti
