Zionism is racism? Seems weakly inoffensive and matter-of-fact really. Zionism is TERRORISM might have been more appropriate.

Was there any progress post-2009? Yes, by some countries. Mexico stopped subsidising petroleum prices in 2016. The EU (Germany and Spain) phased out all subsidies to hard-coal mining at the end of 2018. India and Indonesia carried out some reforms. The UAE phased out most of its fuel subsidies.

In 2009 the Obama administration attempted to get a worldwide agreement at the UN to phase out all types of fossil fuel subsidies. From memory, the subsidy figure at the time was ~$300b/pa? It covered direct primary grants, tax breaks and consumer subsidy. Nothing happened.

I guess it's pointless reminding everyone again The Australian Greens do not have a 'leader'. Because the media could not cope with that concept, a few years ago now, we had to concede and at least have a Parliamentary Leader which is what this is about. #auspol

Bet you five the occurrence of dementia and early onset dementia rise sharply in the next 10-20 years as a direct result of the general population's use of fucking AI/LLM's. I include AI because too many fucking "professionals" rely on it to do (or "help with") their work.

If you can only complete the schoolwork with the chatbot, you haven’t learned anything. Your brain has atrophied. Nothing has happened in your head.
A recent study of 26,000 Chinese secondary-school students found that A.I. adoption led to an 18 percent increase in homework scores, but a 20 percent decline in scores on secure exams. The implication was that rushing through homework with help from chatbots degraded the deeper learning needed to perform well when the technology was not available.
