If the last 15 years of work on things like MH17 and chemical weapon use tells me anything is you'll need a lot more than mere evidence to change the mind of any denialist.

Antarctic winter sea ice falls to third-lowest level on record as scientists warn of ‘now problem’
Coverage falls a million square kilometres short of long-term average with global heating likely driving losses Antarctica’s winter sea ice has peaked at its third-lowest level on record, falling a million square kilometres – or almost 400,000 square miles – short of the long-term average, scientists have confirmed. Confirmation of the peak meant the four lowest years on record for the continent’s sea ice – a vital component of the planet’s climate and critical for marine life – had all occurred in the past four years.

Can some bright spark explain to me that although the crude oil price is relatively high. It's not the highest it's been in recent years and has dropped recently but yet diesel is the most expensive it's ever been?

I can't help but feel this, as yet unimplemented threat is less about energy and logistics security but more about market manipulation for Trump and his cronies to profit from. He's done it so many times before with other commodities etc.

Israel is basically trying to make Gaza an impossible place to be able to live. It's collective punishment and mass displacement. We should be applying the same sanctions to Israel as we do to Russia.

Russia's Matryoshka disinformation campaign has shifted to the US elections, where it's making wild claims about random Democratic Party candidates. They've also started one of their jigsaws again, which is nearly complete. Not sure if it's a specific person, but at least my face isn't on the poo.
The image is a crude satirical illustration set against broad red and cream stripes that run down the background and continue across the floor.
On the left stands a shaggy grey donkey, facing the viewer, with large upright ears, a pale muzzle and several white stars across its chest.
On the right is a blonde woman wearing black glasses, a blue dress with puffed sleeves, a white apron and black high heels. She leans forward with one hand on her hip and holds an oversized wooden spoon in the other. The spoon is coated in a brown substance, which also appears smeared around her smiling mouth and chin.
A large pile of faeces sits between them in the foreground, surrounded by flies and rising green and yellow stink lines.
Three horizontal black bands mark missing sections of the reconstructed image: one across the upper ears and hair, a wider band across the donkey’s muzzle and the woman’s waist, and a narrow band near the bottom.

Daniel Thomas aka "Danny Thomas" had been arrested. Have seen a video and also reported in The Sun (online) so far. The police were far too nice to him in my opinion. Criminal damage with intent to endanger life is the offence mentioned.
