World needs UK to stay the course on climate Although global clean energy momentum makes it likely that Trump will fail a second time to halt or slow climate action, the world still needs leadership from the UK, Brazil and others to get on track.

The scary concept of acid rain helped drive a successful campaign to regulate emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Will plastic rain finally convince us enough is enough? 120 million water bottles are falling from the sky over our national parks and wilderness areas.

Plastic Rain Is the New Acid Rain
Researchers find that over 1,000 metric tons of microplastic fall on 11 protected areas in the US annually, equivalent to over 120 million plastic water bottles.

UK is a fiat currency, so it doesn't need to raise taxes for spending. Let the rich go, their purchasing power isn't needed. Let's do trickle up economics, not trickle down.

Just to put this in context, it would be five times the number who died in the Rwandan genocide, and about twice as many people as were killed over four years by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. It would only be surpassed in modern history by the Great Leap Forward and the Holocaust.

You were talking about reading books, i.e. fostering a love of literature. Nothing to do with allowing them not to read. Kids that don't read books can still read and pass exams.

Modelling reading, trips to book shops & libraries, buying books that they like, watching film versions together, reading together at bed time, discussions about books and their ideas. If kids aren't readers none of this works so if you have a reader it's not down to your efforts, it's down to them.
