@Surasanji Thats fine, but so far Bernie doesnt seem to fit that bill or any politician. The last thing I would use to describe a politician is someone who is "far better educated than me"

Jakarta is sinking. Interesting article but it ends with this penultimate paragraph :
“The message here is that technology can't get us out of this,” Kiparsky adds. “You need something more difficult—you need institutional solutions, you need political will to do something radical.”
The rejection of innovation, invention, and science in favor of centralized authority seems to be a disturbing pattern when discussing big issues lately.
The end is neigh!
We lost 2 years today.

"Forty-two percent of Americans have a favourable opinion of their president, while just 36% of Canadians approve of Trudeau. And while nearly 53% of Americans disapprove of Trump, a staggering 63% of Canadians have given up on the Liberal leader."
That is, PM Trudeau has a worse net approval rating among Canadians than President Trump has among Americans. Hard to believe.

Increased CO2 transforming earth, growing the rainforest and plants across the globe.
I guess.... Yay for greenhouse gasses?
"From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25."

There's like 2 PhDs on her staff but apparently they failed to tell her that is her own colleague.
Essentially, the left’s rule is that nothing bad—no matter how true—may be said about Muslims or Islam and nothing good—no matter how true—may be said of Christians or Christianity.
