*To those who sneer at [and repress] activists blocking roads: what are you doing to save the planet?*

More than 50 poor countries are in danger of defaulting on their debts. The article says, "bankruptcy," but there is no system of bankruptcy for countries. They face being hounded for the payments they cannot make, having their public assets taken, and having their education and medical systems shut down.

Climate defense will also be undermined, which could kill us all.

Putin's officials announced that the Putin forces will pull out of the city of Kherson.

Assuming this is serious, Ukraine should not let those soldiers leave without a fight. If they do, Ukraine will have to fight them on another front next year. Ukraine now has the opportunity to try to cut them off so that the survivors are compelled to surrender. The loss of Kherson will embarrass Putin, but the loss of thousands more troops will weaken the Putin forces.

* The [supposed] global dash for gas amid the Ukraine war will accelerate climate breakdown and could send temperatures soaring far beyond the 1.5C limit of safety.*

There is no "global dash" — that term is a misleading excuse. What is really happening is that planet roasters want to do more drilling, and they use the temporary gas shortage as an excuse. More drilling will do nothing in the short term to reduce the price spike, but the excuse works as long as mainstream media and plutocratist politicians pretend it makes some sort of sense.

*UK should match Norway’s 78% North Sea oil and gas tax, thinktank says.*
