?? Are you being serious, you responded to one of my posts on the work China has done, talk about going round in circles, there are 2 links there for you to read, now please show me the "lots of experts that refute it" as you claim China's Clean Air Campaign Is Bringing Down Global Pollution China Reduced Air Pollution in 7 Years as Much as US Did in Three Decades Non paywall source for above link air pollution not only contributes to climate change but is also exacerbated by it

Link? which experts have refuted the claims made in the links I provided? The study on China was carried out by the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy. Institute

Read my links and you'll discover its not my opinion its the opinion of experts unlike me or you

Well without that "PR" world average pollution levels would have increased since 2013 instead of drop

Ditto my previous posts and what China has achieved in the right direction and as with all countries needs to do more.

What difference does that make to the articles I've posted. I thought everyone know the basics without having to explain them, however free to do so and tell me how that affects the evidence I supplied and the positive effects of the policies they put in place.

I don't normally have many positive things to say about China due to their human rights records but they have made big strides in tackling climate change and this will help a lot China's Clean Air Campaign Is Bringing Down Global Pollution China Reduced Air Pollution in 7 Years as Much as US Did in Three Decades

That's a different debate, I posted a chart on the rising temperature levels in Africa due to climate change, if you want to speculate on Bob Geldof and people fattening their wallets then you've missed the point entirely

You need a quick lesson on moving averages and trendlines. Your iterpretation of chart stats sucks

Not this data: https://africacenter.org/spotlight/how-global-warming-threatens-human-security-in-africa/

So long as you're ok then thats all that matters, the disproportinate effects however in reagoins such as Africa can and are causing Extreme weather events tend to do that, along with Australia's extreme wildfires recently, all due to climate change

The question should probably be how hot can it get before its too late and a catastrophe is inevitable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_temperature_record

Putin writing his own rules on International Law: Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that the legal side of Russia's war against Ukraine, which he calls a "special operation", fully complies with international law. According to Putin, the legal side of the "special operation" in Ukraine fully complies with international law. When a territory is separated from a state, it is not necessary to ask permission from the central authorities, the Russian president said https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/06/17/7353144/

Here is the list by GDP although it includes both military aid and humanitarian aid, there are other charts in the link that have that but not by GDP This is for total support for military aid not taking into account GDP https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/

Yes there is a war on and many train depots have been destroyed along with many roads unsafe to travel, actually 24 railway stations have also been destroyed and a few massive grain silo's infact Ukraine's second largest grain silo for export was totally destroyed by Russian missiles last week.

Several rioters also had firearms and dozens more wielded knives, bats and other real and makeshift weapons https://www.rawstory.com/did-capitol-rioters-carry-guns/

Of course they do for essential reasons, there are many exceptions, full list in the link: - drivers who are reserved for international cargo transportation, transportation for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, medical cargo and humanitarian aid cargoes, in accordance with the established procedure; https://visitukraine.today/blog/102/exceptions-when-a-man-can-leave-ukraine-under-martial-law

How can the trains and trucks travelling daily between Ukraine and Poland operate without a driver? Ukraine exports first grain by train to Europe One of the logistical difficulties is that Ukraine's rail runs on a different gauge to Poland and Europe so it needs to be off loaded once out of Ukraine, hence one of the reasons why grain silos are going to be built on the borders. To say its self inflicted is misleading and false.

it was kept secret until he actually arrived for security reasons I guess.

Actually the UK has ramped up its gas and oil exports to the EU after Russia's invasion. It has its own resources in the North Sea and previously only imported 3% of its gas from Russia

I have a feeling that Margarita Simonyan the head of RT, Russia Today news also forgets that people have access outside of Russia and with VPN if inside, although she's trying as hard as possible to stop that: VIDEO: Head of RT Margarita Simonyan admits that for 10 years or more, she's been dreaming about censorship, banning Western media and Russia becoming like China by achieving total information control. Most of all, Simonyan doesn't want the idea of freedom to ever come back to Moscow. Actually she was also there next to Putin at the St.Petersburg forum acting as the moderator.

That point you were making was based on your false claim as demonstrated in the link I provided

No not a big nothing

That,s your opinion yet you are factually wrong. Firstly Turkey was not awarded "Candidate Status" until 1999. The next step is "accession negotiations" which started in 2005. Ukraine is to be awarded Candidate Status next week according to the reports. In these very dark times for them this is fantastic news and brings a much needed moral booster that they are proud of. Sure it may take another decade or more but then that is the procedure that cannot be avoided. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/enlargement/turkey/

Russia holding back on its resources, really? Sounds more like making excuses for their military failures Russia Preparing for 'Big, Colossal War' With NATO, Says Major General When asked by Solovyov whether Russia was holding back on tapping its military resources because President Vladimir Putin was keeping them free for a potential fight with NATO, Gurulyov said "we're obligated to consider such a possibility." "We have to consider every option up to a big colossal war and be ready for it." When Solovyov asked if Russia was ready for such a scenario, Gurulyov replied, "We are ready." https://www.newsweek.com/russia-preparing-colossal-war-nato-andrey-gurulyov-1716810
