There's natural variability in climate, but it's never changed so rapidly and dramatically. We know it's due to humans because when we only look at the natural forcing and ignore human influence, we can't reproduce the observed changes. It's real and it's us. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

Today marks one year since South Africa filed the landmark case against Israel at the World Court, charging Israel with the crime of genocide.. But as the slaughter in Gaza continues, the question remains: what, if anything, did the case achieve? mondoweiss.net/2024/12/one-...

That Israel is committing deliberate, systematic war crimes and is engaged in ethnic cleansing is not even seriously disputed in Israel. Meanwhile Israel's apologists here just pretend none of this is happening. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/01/w...

Reflecting, not for the first time, that Perfect Strangers ran as a mid-list comedy series for 8 YEARS in the 80s and 90s with a main character who was a FACT-CHECKER at a Chicago newspaper. 8 seasons. A world where fully staffed publishing offices that hired full-time fact-checkers were imaginable

Clean air zones in Birmingham are associated with reduced numbers of children being admitted to hospital. Air pollution is bad for everyone’s health, but it’s especially pleasing to see that interventions like this may be helping children to live more healthy lives. From the @bmj.com this week.

This #WorldChildrensDay, Palestinians once again call for pressure on governments around the world to impose immediate sanctions on apartheid Israel, as called for by the International Court of Justice and the UN General Assembly. Palestinian children have the right to live.
