Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

CLIMATEWIRE | China will begin a major campaign aimed at accelerating climate action by local authorities, warning regional officials that they will be held accountable for failing to make progress toward President Xi Jinping's green targets.
Starting this year, provinces will be graded on efforts to ensure China's carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030, and on objectives to lift clean energy consumption and to limit the use of coal and oil, according to an official document published Thursday by the Xinhua News Agency.
