Being singled out for inspection is extremely different to being chained and imprisoned.

Stories like this are coming to forefront because America is changing its stance to immigration and tourism to be actively hostile.

Shame the stroke didn’t fucking kill him.

Sabotage by the Deepsea Boys?

I wonder if they can do much with the information other than go “yup cable was fiddled with somewhere on the length of the ocean floor”.

I like that, thanks.

Show me a place on the map where it isn’t?

This says it’s not even top 3 for Europe.

Dr Graham Bradley, a research fellow at Griffith University who has led its annual climate action survey of more than 4,000 people, questioned whether the term “climate disruption” was commonly understood. That was a problem that could skew the results, he said.

The Griffith Climate Action Survey carried out in 2023 found 82% of Australians agreed the climate was changing. He said about a quarter of people either denied climate change was happening or were unconvinced that humans were causing it.


But let’s not stop there:

General concern about climate change remains high, with eight in 10 Australians (81%) saying they were at least "somewhat concerned" about climate change, in line with previous years.

According to the latest Climate of the Nation report, Australians have become more worried about the effects of climate change with 75 per cent of respondents concerned and that number rising to 84 per cent among 25 to 34-year-olds.

In 2024, a majority of Australians (57%) say ‘global warming is a serious and pressing problem’ about which ‘we should begin taking steps now, even if this involves significant costs’. Three in ten (30%) say ‘the problem of global warming should be addressed, but its effects will be gradual, so we can deal with the problem gradually by taking steps that are low in cost’. Only 12% take the view that ‘until we are sure that global warming is really a problem, we should not take any steps that would have economic costs’. All results are steady from 2023.

Over 70% of Australians say that they are concerned about climate change and its impacts, including the potential it has to compound existing cost-of-living pressures.

Basically everyone accepts the science of climate change here, around 5-10% think it’s not man made, and 10-15% think it’s not a big deal.

Yeah, nah. It’s one of the biggest issues people have behind cost of living.

In 2022 the US was also ran by very different people. Acting 2 years out of date is not clever planning.

The global political landscape is shifting rapidly. Adaptability is paramount to navigate this period.

Is Germany stuck on half speed or something? It’s pretty well determined already.

Oh sick.

I hope they let the public vote on the submissions, but I doubt it.

Do you? The Borg are a collective consciousness, it’s the most democratic government in the galaxy.

My only problem with the Borg is they have a queen.
