*Americans living in their cars are finding refuge in "safe parking lots".*

It is better than nothing, but shamefully inadequate.

Next year's main climate conference will again be run by an oil industry executive.

* The attempted US coup of 6 January 2021, never ended, according to a watchdog report, since the same [allies of the wrecker] behind that insurrection are now leading a sham impeachment effort against [President] Biden.*

There are people in the UK that hate and revile people who wear masks on trains and therefore help protect others from getting sick. These people are doing the Putin's work. In the US, they are helping Putin, and helping the wrecker too, by making Americans sicker and weaker, increasing medical debt, and basically making society's existing problems somewhat worse.

I always wear a good mask when indoors with other people, outside of very special situations. When I am in a train or bus and someone else is also wearing a mask, I often tell per I appreciate this: "Thank you for wearing a mask." It is an easy and friendly way to encourage the practice.

A carefully designed PR campaign would surely lead more people to wear masks and thus help protect the public. I suggested this to the mayor of Boston, when mask requirements were dropped, but I got no reply.

*Hotter, drier air in Europe "causing poor crops and greater wildfire risk."* This means irrigation is needed in places that didn't need it before. But do they have the water available to do this?
