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.

This is an amazing cover-version of the Bruce Cockburn song: Lovers in a Dangerous Time. It’s by my favourite band: Barenaked Ladies (a Canadian country-rock band).
It contains the excellent lyric: “Nothing in this world comes without some kind of fight. Got to kick at the darkness ’till it bleeds daylight.” Fingers crossed I will get away with publishing that one lyric.

I’ve never even been to the southern hemisphere! I was born in England & I’ve always lived in England (although, I might like to live in Italy, one day).
I discovered that wonderful performance from watching an episode of Top of the Pops ’91 (this one: https://thetvdb.com/series/top-of-the-pops-uk/episodes/5861434). That episode plays Bryan Adams’ Everything I do (I Do it For You) for the 17th/final time – they showed it once before it got to #1, which they surely must regret – I like that song, but THANK GOD THAT WAS THE LAST TIME!
‘So don’t expect no changes or improvements

It’ll be much more of the same thing
lots of trouble and
lots of strife’Good poem. The Anti-West-Left love to tell us that this cost of living crisis wouldn’t have happened if Corbyn had been prime minister. However, they (and us) should be grateful he didn’t become PM, because the crisis would still be happening, but the MSM would blame it on the left of Labour’s so-called socialist policies, thereby dragging the word ‘socialism’ through the mud even more.

The whole notion of ‘if you [Ukraine] negotiate a peace deal with Russia, we [the U.S.A] will stop sending you military aid,’ is insane, because why would they need more armaments if they negotiate peace. Cutting off military aid would give Russia more leverage in the peace negotiations; why is this not obvious?!
The World in Union by Kiri Te Kanawa
It’s ironic that this is the anthem for a violent sport (rugby). This song gives Imagine a run for its money as a potential anthem for the World Socialist Movement.

‘The Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons has resigned after inviting a Ukrainian man who fought for a Nazi unit to parliament and praising him.’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66930482
“You pick some random ‘Ukrainian hero’ to cheer in parliament and he turns out to be a real-life Nazi. What are the chances!
“It almost makes it look like all those ‘Putin apologists’ claiming Ukraine has a Nazi problem (including the entire Western media until 2022) have a point.” – Jonathan Cook
“It’s a funny kind of month, October. For the really keen cricket fan, it’s when you discover that your wife left you in May.” – Denis Norden
“Cricket is a game which the British, not being a spiritual people, had to invent in order to have some concept of eternity.” – Lord Mancroft, 1967
Here’s something more upbeat: Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival
(It’s used in Vietnam War films a lot)
The lyrics, provided by A-Z Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/creedenceclearwaterrevival/fortunateson.html
So, let me get this straight. If I were to write down a song’s lyrics while listening to it on a CD, I would be breaking the law?
And the lyric website: ‘A-Z Lyrics’, pays royalties for EACH of the THOUSANDS of songs it has published?
Young Master Smeet, copyright for lyrics doesn’t apply to sharing them online. Lyrics are freely available to view on many lyric websites. I copied & pasted the lyrics for the two songs above from Google.
Would you please re-amend my two posts?
