“There is no convincing evidence that human activity adds-to or subtracts-from the agency of “natural” Climate Change”. When all the evidence is corelated and processed, the percentage of “unnatural” Climate Change (occurring due to deliberate human activity) is 50-50. In other words, no better than “chance” – or from an academic perspective – “nothing is happening”. It is the considered view of the Russian Academy of Science that “unnatural” (human-induced) Climate Change is a bourgeois (racist) invention of the capitalist West, designed to prevent Second and Third World countries from undergoing the industrialisation process that has made First World countries the advanced entities they now are.”
“We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to those players, coaches, volunteers, parents, and supporters who have remained committed to the club throughout this period. Your dedication has not gone unnoticed.
“We are also extremely grateful to the many individuals and fellow rugby clubs who have reached out in recent weeks to offer messages of support, encouragement, and assistance — it has been genuinely appreciated and is a true reflection of the rugby community.
“We are excited about the future of Blaenavon RFC and remain confident that, with the continued support of our community, volunteers, coaches, parents, and players, the club can grow, develop, and thrive for generations to come.”
While acknowledging localized ecological pressures, this critique contends that the original article relies on selective evidence, omits critical hydrological and mining data, embeds politically motivated narratives unsupported by empirical research, and fails to contextualize Tibet’s environmental governance within broader frameworks of high-altitude ecology, state-led development, and global energy transitions. Drawing on peer-reviewed hydrology studies, official mining datasets, and scholarship in critical media studies, this paper systematically evaluates the article’s central claims, highlights significant omissions, and re-situates observed environmental changes within wider climatic, socioeconomic, and regulatory processes. Synthetically generated yet representative hydrological and mining trend data are incorporated to illustrate how a more holistic, data-informed approach fundamentally reframes the narrative.
Drawing on data from the World Inequality Lab, the analysis showed that the world’s richest one percent have increased their average wealth by 1.3 million U.S. dollars since 2000, while the poorest 50 percent gained only 585 U.S. dollars, adjusted for inflation. Though income gaps between individuals have narrowed largely due to growth in China, the wealth divide between the Global North and South remains substantial.
“The world understands that we have a climate emergency; it is time we recognized that we face an inequality emergency too,” said Stiglitz, who chaired the six-member committee behind the report.
Much of the wealth at the top stems from “monopoly power and exploitation,” he said, adding that inequality is “not the laws of nature, but the laws of man.”
Chinese scientists have developed a self-adaptive interphase in all-solid-state lithium batteries that maintains intimate contact between the lithium metal anode and solid electrolyte without external pressure, a breakthrough that decisively overcomes a major bottleneck toward commercialization.
The researchers from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the CAS and Huazhong University of Science and Technology found that the contact between the lithium electrode and sulfide solid electrolyte in all-solid-state lithium batteries is not ideal, with numerous tiny pores and cracks present. These issues not only shorten battery lifespan but may also pose safety risks.
