@ed_hawkins @bbcideas @AdamRutherford It is nice of you to remove the ability to comment on the varming graph from the 1930s. Its so wrong! The measured effect of co2 since 2000 is 0,02 watts per square meter calculated effect form 1850 is about 0.11 watts per square meter. The warming that gives is 0-0,3 degrees.

Song on Dr Ankit Shah- The Prediction Master! Dr. Shah Lyrics- Dr. Ankit Shah, with insights so clear, Analyzing the world, year by year. From the East to the West, his predictions fly, Unraveling the truth, with a keen eye. Dedollarisation, a world in transition, Geopolitics in his mission, Dr. Shah's vision, it's quite the sensation, He speaks of change, across every nation. In the halls of power, where narratives spin, He decodes intentions, helps us begin. To understand the shifts, the economic flows, Where the dollar once ruled, now it slows. From the pages of his book, to the talks he shares, He's got the world's attention, he truly cares. About the future's shape, where we all might reside, With insights sharp, he stands by our side. So here's to Dr. Shah, with his wisdom so grand, In the world of geopolitics, he helps us understand. Dedollarisation's wave, now in sight, Thanks to Dr. Shah, we see the light.

The world has changed — and Canada must change with it. Our new Liberal government is rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces to protect our sovereignty and create new opportunities for our workers.

Brilliant interview with John Major by Amol Rajan He tears into Brexit, “It has made us poorer which is emphatically not in the interests of our country. The world saw us as a member of the EU and it was a megaphone to magnify our power in the world. So instead we are isolated and outside.”

'The US just doesn't want to understand. We live in a multipolar world' Jeffrey Sachs sees the problem: The US refuses to accept the new balance of power in the world, and as a result continues to head for war. The world has become multipolar. BRICS has become the leading economic bloc, not the G7. Using NATO to try to recapture power that no longer exists is a desperate attempt that will only lead to chaos and destruction....
