Extract from the EU Env Agency's page on #Belgium. www.eea.europa.eu/en/europe-en.... Things are going in the right direction but too slowly. Rollout of low-emission zones is significantly improving air pollution in cities. Over 20yrs, % of consumed energy from renewable sources increased to 15%.

#Internet access is essential for information, research, education & political involvement. It's a "liberation technology"; the UN HDR 2019 described it as "critical" to modern life. Here are the countries over 4 decades with the best & worst, access to the internet, sorted by 2020s average data.

In any other country, the US Democratic Party is clearly rightwing. The US Republican Party are radical-right, and, #Charlie_Kirk was a far-right extremist hate-monger. The #USA has 3 major categories of the right, in combat with each other, and with the world. There is no balance.

The progression of #obesity across the major continents is consistent, except for #Europe, which during the 2010s halved the rate of its progression. Australasia is worrying as it started from an unhealthy position in the 1990s yet still maintained a strong upwards curve every decade since.

I've added six decades of UN data on fertility rates to the Social and Moral Development Index. Here are the countries in green that are closest to 2.0 each decade, and, those in red that have the highest rate per decade (often up at over 7 or 8). www.humantruth.info/best_country...

The sensible, the wise, the polite, and the ordinary, do not have loud voices. The modern world has gotten accustomed to listening to the loud, to the obnoxious, and to the angry. Be more #Belgian!

#Belgium hosts principal parts of a large number of international organisations, including the headquarters of the #EU and of #NATO. And yet, Belgium itself remains only a quiet voice on the world stage.

If you accidentally done a #Nazi salute, turned to your country's flag and done another, you would IMMEDIATELY and CLEARLY say "it wasn't a Nazi salute!", "I didn't mean for it to look like that" & "the Nazis were evil, I oppose their hatred"? And wouldn't your boss, if you didn't do that, fire you?

The liberal project has given us human rights, democracy and freemarket capitalism regulated by the measures of good governance. Liberal democracy remains the only rational contender to authoritarianism. www.humantruth.info/the_values_o...

Religious intolerance between #Muslims and #Hindus led to the breakaway of #Bangladesh from India in 1947 (initially as East Pakistan). Relations have remained poor, and sometimes bloody. Added notes on #water conflicts to section 1 and #migration to section 3. www.humantruth.info/bangladesh.h...
