Iraq's prime minister agreed to step down in response to the protests.

Student protest in Liverpool

mardi 3 décembre 2019 à 01:00

Students at Liverpool University were told it was illegal for them to support striking teachers, so they blocked a building instead.

Demands to Amazon

mardi 3 décembre 2019 à 01:00

Protests in several countries demand that Amazon treat warehouse employees better.

I support this, but it does not go far enough. We must require Amazon to allow anonymous purchases, and we must help other companies compete with Amazon so that it ceases to control a large fraction of online sales.

Scientists do not have enough knowledge to estimate how fast methane is leaking out of the ground and sea bottom into the air, and can't begin to predict how much this will contribute to global heating in the future.

If it happens fast, it could push the ecosphere's temperature up by 7 degrees C. This would be likely to kill most of humanity, perhaps even all.

Dropping arrest warrants
