A relevant graphic

Here's a graphic created by SchNEWS (www.schnews.org.uk) in the UK a number of years ago, incase you haven't seen it. It's copyleft I believe so its reusable.

As an outsider looking on from rainy England*, and hoping the fires stop soon with minimal further loss, I just wonder how the climate change deniers will try to stop the public making the connection between this and climate change? There's a chance that enough idiots will vote Tony Abbott in next time, who appears to be an old-school climate change denier from another era.

Brutal gang-rape in India is a call to everyone, worldwide, to ensure changes

Gerry Georgatos - Inhumanity knows no bounds just as equal to humanity's limitlessness. Recently, in Pakistan a fourteen year old school girl was shot the in head by the Taliban for speaking up for the right of young girls to an education. They stopped the school bus bringing home the children and shot the young Malala. On March 31 a Ukranian teenager died after a brutal gang rape. On December 16 the ugliest inhumanity was broadcast to the whole world when a 23 year old physiotherapy intern was gang raped on a bus in Delhi.
