Deif and Sinwar should have been be tried as well, imo, also because their "special agents" murdered Gazan dissidents for years - see Amnesty's reports.
Ukraine signed the Rome statute before the invasion but - IRCC - had to change its constitution before joining last year.
Still other member-states of the ICC can file a complaint against a non member state, like Palestine did against Israel in the name of Palestinian victims.
US CO2 emissions kept decreasing in 2024, though less than in previous years

and increased by 2.4% in 2025

No. Just *more* than under Biden.
Afaik the left doesn't claim that climate change is a hoax and the planet is cooling, nor does it ban abortion or restrict birth control, want more children or to drive a car.
Nearly 90% of the human population eats animals and animal derived food.

In 4 months, researchers filmed "10 species scavenging on or catching bats at Python Cave in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park" - a known hotspot for Marburg virus - and more than 200 people approaching the cave.
Well, since Trum cut USAID "subsidies" for pediatric and maternal healthcare over a year ago, newborns and mothers are and will be dying in the Global South - where CO2 emissions per capita are the world's lowest...

Natalism doesn't seem to be working in China either
"The population dropped by 3.39 million to 1.405 billion, a faster fall than 2024... figures from China’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) revealed."
According to the IEA review, US CO2 emissions rose under Trump.
Afaik, the left has neither introduced natalist policies nor criminalized abortion.
Also one of The Economist's hero, apparently
"The man who saved his country and the world"
"Roosevelt was the greatest American president since Lincoln, his colossal abilities tested by personal illness, economic catastrophe and world war."

On Tuesday EU foreign ministers will "examine" the EU-Israel association agreement, after >1 million citizens demanded its suspension because art. 2 includes the respect of #humanrights.
(Demand can still be signed here citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/...)
#vaccines
GAVI's partners should include at least an NGO like @msf.org, some of its donor countries be more generous, it should support non-profit, VAT-exempt pediatric vaccines [omissis], but @gavinyamey.bsky.social is right.
Dire forecast with more data, especially for poor countries.
(My reminder: only ≈35% of the main crops are harvested for human food, and in richer countries people could eat less meat...)

Dire forecasts abound, but One Earth www.cell.com/one-earth/home just published a series of OA articles on ammonia, including a review innovative production processes, that should interest policymakers and NGOs, imo.
E.g.

"La costruzione di dighe potrebbe costare tra 500 milioni e 4,5 miliardi di euro, mentre la chiusura della laguna con un super argine supererebbe i 30 miliardi. La rilocalizzazione della città potrebbe arrivare fino a 100 miliardi di euro."

"The Arctic’s growing mosquito problem"
"Until recently, Iceland was the only Arctic nation without mosquitoes. This was a rare exception in a region where mosquitoes emerge in vast numbers each summer, tormenting wildlife and people alike. That distinction is now gone."

Another good news for #freespeech
French MPs have withdrawn a bill that would criminalize as antisemitic critical views of the Israeli government's policies.
#Libertàdistampa
La lentezza della giustizia italiana è frustrante. S'è dovuto aspettare 8 anni per sapere che chiamarlo Ministro della mala vita perché "non costituisce reato".

In three connected tests,
"Most [US university] students adopt a particularist stance, favoring greater protection for marginalized groups, while a sizable minority adhere to a universalist view emphasizing equal treatment regardless of identity."
#desertification
#afforestation
For NGOs, imo.
Meanwhile Africa's Great Green Wall across the Sahel is failing as trees die, donor countries cut funds and armed conflicts increase.

"There was, and is, one clear winner: renewables & other low-carbon technologies, from batteries to electric vehicles (EVs) & heat pumps. That is what distinguishes this Middle East oil & gas crisis from the Arab oil embargoes of the 1970s."
