Deloitte in Cyprus helped in falsifying documents to hide Roman Abramovich's wealth and evade tax, Leaked documents show transactions backdated and tailored. Assets spirited away to BVI. Big four accounting firms advise UK govts, get public contracts, routinely implicated in scandals.

Company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands. It could receive £23m public subsidy. BVI facilitates opacity and tax avoidance. Successive UK govts have defended the use of tax havens by wealthy elites.

This is incredibly alarming. We cannot go on like this. We need more advocacy for climate action, not just from the environmental movement, but from the political centre.
Screenshot of a Guardian article titled “Huge El Niño projected to cause more than 450,000 deaths by February.” The article, by environment editor Damian Carrington and dated 23 September 2026, says climate scientists estimate that additional heat from a projected strong El Niño could cause more than 450,000 deaths by February, on top of existing climate-crisis-related deaths. It mentions impacts across Indonesia, India, Nigeria and the US, as well as additional deaths from droughts, wildfires and flooding.

Please enjoy today’s contender. I have a feeling he may have sent the same email to @astrokatie.com 😄
Greetings, Katharine. Your efforts to combat climate change are truly commendable. But you have been misled as to the cause of Global Warming. Modern cosmology is wrong about galaxy evolution; and their error places Mankind in great peril.
   Unlike the Big Bang theory, what I am about to tell you is actually supported by visual evidence.
   Our Sun, like all the other stars in the Milky Way, has not been orbiting the galactic center for 5 billion years, as we have been led to believe. Instead, our Sun formed on the outer edge of the Milky Way; and, like all the stars in all the spiral galaxies, has spent its existence spiraling INTO the galactic center. Every spiral galaxy clearly shows this motion.This implies that the centers of galaxies are eternal; therefore there was no Big Bang, and the Universe is not expanding.
   Matter continuously forms on the outer edges of all spiral galaxies, and matter is continually recycled in the fiery galactic centers. This is why all the Milky Way stars travel at the same speed, not because of Dark Matter.
   Since the centers eject matter, by definition they cannot be black holes. 
   Most importantly, this implies that Global Warming is not anthropogenic, it's a direct result of increasing proximity to the center of the Milky Way. We don't have another 5 billion years left - we are at the end of the galactic ride.
   At 220 km/sec, or 491,832 mph, we travel 11.8 million miles closer to our extinction every day; and the whole world is blissfully unaware. This equates to 1.08 billion miles closer each season.Global Warming is going to increase exponentially, as the polar ice caps shrivel and vanish.
   Sea levels rising isn't the threat we face. The entire ocean is rising up. Once the polar ice caps vanish, so will all life on Earth.
   So you see, there is very little we can do to prevent further warming of the planet. We are ignorant spectators in a cosmic dance that nobody is even aware of.
   Believe what you want to believe, and do what you want to do. But my theory explains everything that the Standard Model of Cosmology cannot, and it's supported by visual evidence. One hundred years of science trying to prove Einstein correct may cost Mankind its very existence.
   Record flooding around the globe indicates that our time is running short.
   If you are picking up what I am throwing down, please visit my website and read my solution to save humanity.
   Time is not our ally; whether anyone believes me or not...
