Murdoch's propaganda Wall Street Journal lacks profound moral leadership.
You talk about irresponsible. This is grossly malpractice of the profession of journalism.
On page 17A of the Wall Street Journal entitled "The Lancet's "Heat Death" Deception by Bjorn Lomborg is a multiparagraph fantasy to serve the right political wing.
I believe this is the study being referred to by Lomborg.
08 July 2021More than five million extra deaths a year (click here) can be attributed to abnormal hot and cold temperatures, according to a world first international study led by Monash University.
The study found deaths related to hot temperatures increased in all regions from 2000 to 2019, indicating that global warming due to climate change will make this mortality figure worse in the future.
The international research team, led by Monash University’s Professor Yuming Guo, Dr Shanshan Li, and Dr Qi Zhao from Shandong University in China – and published today in The Lancet Planetary Health – looked at mortality and temperature data across the world from 2000 to 2019, a period when global temperatures rose by 0.26C per decade.
The study, the first to definitively link above and below optimal temperatures (corresponding to minimum mortality temperatures) to annual increases in mortality, found 9.43 per cent of global deaths could be attributed to cold and hot temperatures. This equates to 74 excess deaths for every 100,000 people, with most deaths caused by cold exposure.
The data reveals geographic differences in the impact of non-optimal temperatures on mortality, with Eastern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa having the highest heat and cold-related excess death rates....
Lomborg states no facts. He writes creatively that since there are more people in the world there are more heat deaths. When a study measures deaths in numbers there is always a comparison to the increase as being a natural occurrence because of recent increases in population. The one sure way to eliminate that level of inaccuracy is to report the increase in deaths by PERCENTAGES.
The study above does exactly what is supposed to do, it reports increases in deaths in percentages. The study clearly reports the information in percentages and allows for a mathematical equivalent in what it equates to.
Lomborg not only goes on and on about heat deaths but then states there are more cold deaths that are not reported. He is lying. The report CLEARLY states the increase in deaths related to temperature occurs when temperatures drop and not rise.
"The Wall Street Journal" is just another Murdoch rag that ENTERTAINS the reader and never addresses any opposition intelligently or with facts.
In previous meetings of COP (Conference of the Parties) (click here) the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated there was eleven years before catastrophic climate consequences. That was a full two if not approaching three years ago. Recently, the Washington Post reported nine years until catastrophic climate consequences. Those years do not mean Wall Street can keep polluting greenhouse gases, then stop in 2030 and everything will be okay. Eleven years and nine years are supposed to instill a sense of emergency to act NOW!
If a physician tells a patient they have nine years to live without treatment, does a patient wait for those nine years before starting treatment?
Please this is a humiliation to the countries of the world that have governance that can and have invoked justice in changing methods to energy that DO NOT POLLUTE GREENHOUSE GASES. This method of denial by the Wall Street Journal by propagating lies is an insult to the people of the world that know better than to believe this ideology of greed.
Let me put it differently so it is very, very clear.
We, as a global community, have ONLY NINE YEARS LEFT before there is catastrophic climate changes.
ONLY NINE YEARS BEFORE THIS PLANET BECOMES MORE AND MORE UNFORGIVING FOR THE ABUSES OF GREED.

...Scotland’s renewable electricity generation in 2022 (click here) in quarter 2 was 7,358 GWh – a 36.2% increase from the 5,402 GWh generated in the same quarter in 2021. This is more than 25% greater than any quarter 2 reported previously and is likely due to increased wind and East Moray offshore windfarm coming online at the end of quarter 1.
In the first half of 2022, Scotland generated 18,568 GWh of renewable electricity, up 29.2% on the same point in 2021. This increase is likely explained by higher wind speeds, increased rainfall and East Moray offshore wind farm coming online affecting wind and hydro generation.
Renewable electricity capacity increased by 10.5% from June 2021 to 13.3 GW in June 2022. This is more than four times the increase in capacity seen between June 2020 and June 2021 where renewable electricity capacity increased by just 2.2%....
The world's populations need to demand MEASURABLE CHANGE IN EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES now!
The Wall Street Journal is an enemy of the people of the world.
No country in the Free World is immune from the ravages of the climate crisis.
The Ukraine war by Russia is all about Russian politics. It is why they are hanging on so desperately to their claims.
It is a holy war now against Satan. Medvedev has also stated Russia will again invade Kherson.
The point is their politics need to change now otherwise this faux ambition will be around for another generation.
They have a Russian service similar to Twitter and the politics of this invasion is everywhere on his page (click here). They need to stop playing with fire and begin to deal with the reality before them. There are no forces anywhere that want to invade Russia. There is no evil in Ukraine ready to vanquish every soul in Moscow. These are all false stories about an invasion written into a five year plan. This has to stop.
The ideology (click here) has Russia taking half of Ukraine while Poland absorbs the other half and Ukraine is nothing more than a city on a map. That is nothing but lies. Poland doesn't have to invade Ukraine, half the population are there as refugees.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (click here) on Friday described Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine as a sacred conflict with Satan and warned that his country was capable of sending “all our enemies to fiery Gehenna.”
Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, appeared to be using a version of the Hebrew word for hell in his speech to mark Russia’s Day of National Unity.
The former president said Russia’s task in the invasion was to “stop the supreme ruler of hell, whatever name he uses — Satan, Lucifer or Iblis,” according to quotes run by the Reuters news agency....
More and more countries around the world are finding relations with Russia is not what it appeared to be less than a year ago. They are abandoning the genocide by Russia of Ukrainians. Why is this still an issue?

As Russia’s military troubles mount in Ukraine, (click here) it’s also becoming more isolated internationally as organizations affiliated with the United Nations purge Moscow’s representatives from leadership positions.
This rollback of Russian power and prestige at the United Nations has accelerated in recent months. It’s another example of the way the Ukraine war is realigning the international system into a small bloc supporting the Kremlin and a larger group backing the United States and its broad coalition of allies.
The General Assembly, the closest thing to a global parliament, has condemned Russia’s assault on Ukraine twice by overwhelming margins. In March, it demanded Russia’s unconditional withdrawal, 141-5. Last month, it rejected Russia’s attempted annexation plan, 143-5. The only countries that backed Russia were Belarus, Eritrea, Nicaragua, North Korea and Syria....
It is all politics with Donald John Trump lending his Americanism as inspiration to these right wing dictators. There are also communist backed regimes in Venezuela and Brazil as Balsonaro "Pulling a Trump" (click here) in not conceding but providing a transfer of power to the newly elected president. Balsonaro wants what Trump wants, a regime of their own to take over the countries government with violence at a later date.
All this is politics and it needs to end. The people of all these countries should be demanding a better quality of life and not a lifetime of lies and poverty.

On June 9, 2022, (click here) Nicaragua’s Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) government renewed the authorization of Russian military forces to operate in the country. In doing so, it reminded the United States and the hemisphere that the dictatorial regime of Daniel Ortega not only continues to abrogate the rights of its own people for democratic choice, free expression, and other fundamental human rights, but also serves as an entry point for the projection of threats into the region by extra-hemispheric rivals of the United States, such as Russia, Iran, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC)....

The people's voices must be heard and alternative governments that are of and by the people need to address the United Nation's General Assembly to understand the suffering that exists because of the politics of the country.
This is from 2009, but, more recent estimates state poverty is down to 53 percent since more women are working to support their families.
Hillary Clinton doesn't take credit for the empowerment of women around the world, but, her visits had resonance, "Women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights." She has empowered women and girls and it shows internationally. This is one small example of how her words drive change. The USA does not have to be directly involved, but, women around the world listen to other strong women and begin to take on the challenge of improving their lives and the lives of their families. It is women like this that move a country out of impoverishment, not war of any kind, but, women seeking a better life.
Empowerment movements like this are Hillary Clinton's legacy.
The National Union of Eritrean Women (click here) branch in the Anseba region organized a seminar on 24 and 25 June in Keren aimed at empowering women....
All the propaganda wars need to stop. There is absolutely no reason for such hate anywhere in the world, especially coming out of Russia.
THERE IS NO NEW WORLD ORDER. A NEW WORLD ORDER REQUIRES MORE THAN RUSSIA ALONE AND A FIVE ALLIES.

Russia has suffered a serious setback (click here) in having to abandon Kherson, a city that it had occupied during its war on Ukraine this year. However, Moscow wants the world to know that it is not down for the count.
“Today, Russia is building an equal world order for the future and is fighting alone against the West, while protecting its citizens and returning its lands, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said on Saturday,” Moscow’s state media TASS news reported
Moscow’s leadership, particularly Vladimir Putin, has often said that Russia is leading a new world order....
This is a mess.
