#CO2 #carbon #emissions

Past emissions from the British Empire "double the UK's climate responsibility", making it one of the biggest CO2 emitters in history. Carbon Brief, the British news website dedicated to global warming, takes into account carbon dioxide emissions from countries formerly under British colonial rule, mainly the destruction of forests in India, Burma and Nigeria before their independence. This new data moves the United Kingdom from eighth to fourth place in the list of countries with the highest historical emissions, behind the United States, China and Russia.

Basically, to call a country that continues to support the monarchy "the most democratic country in the world" is a huge stupidity.
But what else can you expect from the #Guardian

"The leader of the "world's most democratic country", #GreatBritain, King Charles III, thanks to an archaic custom dating back to feudal times, is secretly profiting from the estates of deceased citizens in a number of #British duchies"

...it for many decades, maybe even centuries, such as #GreatBritain, education is completely insufficient and knowledge exasperatingly simply not there.
During a time, I had a steep learning curve here, too, but engagement is difficult, often also due to language difficulties (despite translators, as nuances are key,) and bias on both sides, as well as disinformation.

In essence, a lot needs to be done, but we can actually do a lot here. It works.

‘Not What You’d Expect in a Democracy.’ How #Britain Is Waging War Against #ClimateProtesters

By Yasmeen Serhan/London
December 16, 2022

"As the #ClimateCrisis worsens, and as the international efforts to mitigate its effects continue to fall short, activists like #CameronFord have become more daring. Over the past year and a half, the 32-year-old British carpenter has blocked highways by gluing himself to roads and chained himself to an oil tanker.

"Like most #environmental campaigners, Ford never wanted to do anything that could land him in jail. 'I was hoping to emigrate to Canada one day,' he says from his home in Cambridge. But Ford changed his mind about the need for bolder activism after attending a talk hosted by the climate group #InsulateBritain last summer. 'It made sense to make that stand earlier, whilst there was still a chance that we could actually mitigate the worst of it, rather than once it’s too late,' he says.

"Ford is hardly alone in that view. Other British protesters like him have gone so far as to tunnel under major infrastructure projects, throw soup at famous works of art, and scale a 190-food bridge—all in a desperate bid to draw the public’s attention to the looming climate catastrophe.

"But their democratic right to protest is now at risk as the British government declares war on tactics that it regards as disruptive and, ideally, illegal. Draft legislation that the House of Commons approved in October [2022] would pose unprecedented restrictions on the right to #protest in #England and #Wales.

"'When [#ClimateCollapse] is what we face, I believe the only thing that would curtail us is the death penalty,' says Ford, 'because the alternative to us not standing up is death.'"

🔹 the degradation of environment (global warming and various types of pollution) and
🔹 the threats to liberal democracy (inequality and rising authoritarianism)

"There are posts about wool and war, Schools of Gardening for Ladies, beds and bugs, aspirin, theatrical censorship, magazines, tours of Ruthin and Snowdon, slipcoat cheese and posset, subversive fairy tales, and The Learned Pig," and more fascinating linked selections. Lovely.
