Week 52 & 1: Pamela Anderson rules
Pamela Anderson is nominated for quote of the year: I do not think the poor should pay for climate change. Yet it is the poor who are paying the biggest price. Some say that the protesters in France protested so they could continue polluting the planet. But I do not think this is true. They…
Week 51: Merry Christmas
During the first eleven months of 2018, almost five thousand people were killed and almost 29 million people affected in climate breakdown incidents, The Guardian recounts in an informative graphic.

Week 45: Deadly air pollution, deadly drought, deadly climate
New calculation: Air pollution causes more than 500,000 premature deaths in Europe every year. Although it might feel like we heard this accounting of subjective violence before.
