The Extreme Weather We?re Experiencing Is Not Man Made, According to the IPCC Sun Jul 28, 2024 07:00 | Mark Ellse
Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Jump To Comment: 1Connex is involved in deepening Israeli apartheid. Read the following, from stopthewall.org:
The Grassroots Palestinian Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign calls upon citizens, NGOs and civil society
groups to stand up and demand the immediate cessation of the involvement of French companies Alstom
and Connex in the expansion of settlement infrastructure around Jerusalem.
The companies form part of a consortium that won a 2002 tender put out by Israeli authorities for a light rail
transportation project amounting to around 500 million euros. The companies will be responsible for
operation and maintenance for the next 30 years. In August of this year, the project got the go ahead from
War Criminal Ariel Sharon who stated at a signing ceremony: “ I believe that this should be done, and in any
event, anything that can be done to strengthen Jerusalem, construct it, expand it and sustain it for eternity
as the capital of the Jewish people and the united capital of the State of Israel, should be done.” The
Occupation’s Mayor Uri Lupolianski described the light rail to be “the fulfilment of Psalm 122”.
The path of the light rail incorporates a number of Jewish settlements around East Jerusalem, built on
stolen Palestinian land. It will ensure the contiguity of these settlements into the central areas of the city and
provide them with a vital transport link. The project plays a key role in sustaining the settlements and
ensuring they became a permanent fixture upon Palestinian land. The project, a private-public partnership
(PPP) between the Israeli Occupation government and the consortium, is hinged upon the willingness of
international business groupings to provide a huge injection of capital. In turn the French companies will
reap significant profits and dividends over a thirty-year period, money stained with the blood and misery of
Palestinians currently being expelled from Jerusalem. Locked behind an eight-meter high Apartheid Wall,
Occupation roads and checkpoints, Palestinians face a fresh wave of ethnic cleaning from their lands as
they are shut into disparate and miserable Bantustans not just in Jerusalem but also across the whole of the
West Bank.
The rail project is nothing more than the most cynical attempt of the Occupation Forces to bolster the
Judeaization of Jerusalem and it must be stopped now. The complicity of these companies in the further
colonialism of our land is illegal, contrary to the Geneva Convention, and against our rights as Palestinians
to a presence in the capital of Jerusalem.
Even PA President Abbas and the Foreign Minister Mr al-Qidwa brought the issue up with French President
Chirac last week during a visit to Europe. Chirac has promised to look into the issue but has stated the
project will not change the position of East Jerusalem. This fails to detect the realities implied by this project
that will add to the isolation and disparate nature of Palestinian neighbourhoods, and allow the continued
domination of the city by Zionist settlers.
We make the call for European citizens of conscience to put pressure on President Jacques Chirac and the
French government to demand that they force an end to Connex and Alstom involvement in projects that
contravene international law and work against our rights as Palestinians to exist in our capital.
We call upon our supporters in all the countries where Connex and Alstom operate, to use all forms
of popular pressure, protest and boycotts against them, until they end their support for the Israeli
project to ethnically cleanse Jerusalem.
Demand an end to complicity in the Occupation and its attempts to expel us from our lands!
No to the Apartheid Wall and settlement expansion and international support to render it
sustainable!
For a Free Palestine! No to settler infrastructure in East Jerusalem!
