no, we must establish a single government with monopoly on violence, governed by the principles of scientific socialism and chart the best possible path towards the future despite the absolute shitheap of a world we've inherited from the global neoliberal hegemony. the entire loving point is that individual nation states, regardless of how big they might be, can't solve global problems because those problems are global, and the nature of the current capitalist order means that any improvement in material condition in a specific state, human or environmental, will give economic advantage to its competitors, and capital will inevitably flock there to take advantage of this

have you considered the consumers power to change capitalism with his or hers consumption of green alternatives?

With scorching heat waves returning to China, many tourists are rushing to Southwest China's Yunnan Province to keep cool, with travel platform data showing that bookings for air tickets in July surged by nearly 100 percent month-on-month.

The country's national observatory on Sunday continued to issue an orange alert for high temperatures as intense heat linger in many regions of the country.

During daylight hours on Monday, temperatures in some regions of northwestern Xinjiang and eastern Zhejiang and Fujian provinces could surpass 40 degrees Celsius, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said.

Fu Jiaolan, chief weather forecaster at the NMC, forecast that extreme hot weather would persist for about seven to nine days in regions including areas to the south of the Yangtze River, parts of northwestern Xinjiang and northern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, according to a report published on the website of the China Meteorological Administration on Friday.

During the coming week, the temperatures in areas including Jiangsu, Shanghai and Xinjiang may approach or hit new record highs, she said.

To avoid the summer heat, Chinese tourists are rushing to take holidays in Southwest China. According to data domestic travel platform Qunar sent to the Global Times on Saturday, air ticket bookings to Yunnan Province for the summer holiday has surpassed the same period in 2019, while bookings for hotels in the province since July grew nearly 50 percent compared with the same period in 2019.

It said that bookings for air tickets to Yunnan Province grew nearly 100 percent month-on-month to date, while the number for flights to Lijiang, Yunnan, increased by 140 percent month-on-month.

In addition, many tourists are also flocking to indoor skiing venues to keep cool. Qunar data showed that the number of searches for indoor skiing on the platform jumped 470 percent month-on-month as of Thursday, and bookings for relevant products increased by 268 percent month-on-month.

you're onto something here. cattle have been used to draw carts for a long time. the only problem i think is they tend to randomly rush at things and spill the cart, which is why they were replaced early on for the purposes of transporting people. personally i'm interested in camels, as australia's inland rail network gets more hosed up by the heat i think camels will make a comeback

i support and encourage your quest on a personal level, but camels are magnificent, amazing, and highly intelligent creatures who absolutely do not deserve to have human attention shift to them any further on a larger scale

they are increasingly exploited and abused for profit and entertainment, and it's all the more monstrous given their intelligence and capacity for social and emotional complexity

they should be seen and treated as if they were giant desert border collies because they are just as capable of learning hundreds of words and doing all kinds of tricks and tasks with incredible dedication and purpose, as well as forming very deep bonds with people

People talking about pissing in the ocean made me wonder how the kickstarter-to-avoid-Red-Sea-biome-collapse is going, a month after it made headlines.

Looks like the un-coordinated plan for the SAFER is still a couple milli short of happening.
It's been a crisis waiting to happen for seven years or so yet we might wait just a tiny bit longer still before we move to step 1 of addressing it. On cue.
