From #FutureCrunch (and I quote)

"The UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment group has surveyed all the climate policies expected to be put in place in major economies between now and 2050, and they have concluded that global warming will peak below 1.8°C around 2050. 'This is a more optimistic future than many anticipate.' Yep"

@w7voa Just what if the #CCP hadn't launched mass attacks against the #UnitedNations forces in #Korea in 1951 and given the despotic kim dynasty life support over the following decades... 🧐

What would the 26 million 'DPRK' subjects think about the 'PRC' if they only knew anything...

The Chinese #dictatorship was quite busy after overthrowing the republic of China in 1949. The communist party's private army they insist calling the "people's *liberation* army" was still hard at work invading #Tibet from 1950 onwards.

The neighbouring despot #Stalin of the #USSR had received so much #LendLease hardware from the USA during #WWII that he could afford to donate plenty to the #Chinese upstarts' war efforts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We join Spain’s Jenni Hermoso and all those working to end abuse & sexism in sport. Make this a turning point." Attributed to Volker Turk, with the hashtag Se Acabó.

Meanwhile, trying to put a price on Britain's involvement in #Slavery continues....

Patrick Robinson of the #UnitedNations has calculated that the UK owes around £18 trillion to the 14 countries most impacted by the #slavetrade.... but accepts that this is likely an underestimate.

If countries *could* find a mechanism to force such a claim (and countries could go #bankrupt), the UK's days might be numbered - a bit like #wilko?

For example, if artificially intelligent machines make all decisions, the markets will be fully rational.”

I grew up thinking, nay, believing that the United Nations was the bee's knees...

Yeah sure, if wishes were trees, the trees would be falling.

This UN Chief’s (Antonio Guterres) ‘List of Shame’ (actually titled "Agenda item 64 (a): Promotion and protection of the rights of children") omits not only Israel, but fails to even passingly mention the word "#china" even once.

The Chinese dictatorship has for years forced Tibetan children into CCP-run #sinification boarding camps with the aim of eradicating their Tibetan identity forever, starting with their Tibetan mother tongue.

If they are allowed to even briefly visit their homes those children will struggle to communicate and will grow increasingly alienated from their families and their culture.

Instead they will be indoctrinated with... if I continue, any conscientious person reading would feel uncomfortable to say the least, so... what dogmas and what One Language would the current CCP regime indoctrinate a million inconvenient untermensch Tibetan children with...?

Where are the Chinese people saying "not in my name"?

The so-called "national security law" ("#NSL") was imposed on #Hongkong (with "worldwide effect") by the never-elected #CCP dictatorship to protect it *from* the people, not to protect the #Chinese nation they repress or their occupied neighbours they systematically #genocide.

Does going against the *fundamental values* of the #UnitedNations (e.g. the #UN Charter) warrant something slightly more serious than a... letter?

The dictator that helped the CCP to overthrow the Republic of China, certain mr. stalin, was quickly ejected from the League of Nations for attempting to invade #Finland (and after having already invaded the Baltic states of #Lithuania, #Latvia and #Estonia and eastern half of #Poland in agreement with mr. hitler).

How does the #dictatorship that killed more people than #stalin and #hitler combined and invaded greater "#lebensraum" territory than either of those (*after* WWII and the founding of the UN!) was ever allowed to enter the UN Security Council and get a *veto* over anything?

Can you answer in a... letter? No rush. The #Tibetans, #Uighurs and #Hongkongers have all the time in the world...
