Don’t Call Me Baby – Voice of the Beehive
V of the B were a new wave rock band*, made-up of: two American sisters; two former members of Madness; and another bloke.
*Funnily enough, it was David Bowie who coined the term: new wave rock.

“If music be the food of love, play on.”
Nobody Needs your Love – Gene Pitney (written by Randy Newman)
This doesn’t sound like a Randy Newman song until Pitney sings: “Nobody needs your love more than I do.”
“In 2017 alone, [the U.S. military’s] CO2 emissions added up to 59 million tonnes – more than many industrialized nations including Sweden and Switzerland.”
And that’s just the U.S. military!

Climate scientists say we only have a carbon dioxide budget of 250 billion tonnes to avoid the global average temperature being 1.5C above what it was in 1850. This is very concerning because it was previously thought to be 500 billion tonnes.
Seeing as how the world currently emits 40 billion tonnes of CO2 per year, at that rate, the 1.5C threshold will be breached by 2029.
The climate scientists also say the world could have until 2034 to reach net-zero CO2 emissions, provided it cuts 25 billion tonnes of CO2 per year, starting next year. Sadly, it’s almost impossible that capitalist society will do this.
