offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

The Guardian, of all papers, has acknowledged that predictions about the disappearance of Arctic sea ice may ? just may ? have been exaggerated. Paging Gore Vidal: Can we have that prize back please?

The Climate Change Committee's Fifth Carbon Budget, produced 10 years ago, got its predictions about the price of gas in 2025 and the price of renewables predictably wrong, says Ben Pile.

the following is part of an english translation of a világBékejel 2007 flyer...

világBékejel:
The Living Peace Sign
website: http://www.bekejel.net


The internationally recognized symbol of peace which became hugely
popular in the 1960's, is having an on going resurgence. Throughout
the world, as part of the ongoing efforts of The Humanist Movement
promoting non-violence, the 'Human Peace Sign' has emerged.

Beginning in Budapest, Hungary, the symbolic act is being held in
cities across the planet. On March 17, 2007 marking the fourth
anniversary of the war in Iraq,
these cities will unite, each forming their own human peace signs. These events will begin with a simple
ceremony, accompanied with music and entertainment and then their
lanterns/candles/torches will be lit and they will all stand together
forming a giant peace sign.

Humans from all walks of life, religious beliefs and races will
symbolically join together, showing that their desire for peace comes
from deep within their hearts. They believe we must open the lines of
dialogue regarding any acts of war. The deaths of innocent people and
the continual build up of the nuclear arsenal of any nation, is
unacceptable.

Come join us at Hero's Square in Budapest. Assembly is on Saturday, March 17th, 5pm.

The Peace Sign was started by Hungarian Humanists

The Humanists like this guy: Mario Rodríguez Cobos
