The reality of more women now DYING NEEDLESSLY in OUR country due to anti-abortion/anti-women laws is UNCONSCIONABLE! The fact that GOP anti-abortion beliefs played a part in obscene insurance premiums may now kill the rest of us!👀

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions?
Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

I know I said this in my other thread, but it bears repeating: the censorship of Colbert's interview of Talarico is about the regime trying to dictate a state religion, and then controlling critiques of it.

Exactly 2 months ago, FDA “leaders” Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad claimed that 10 children had died from the COVID19 vaccine.
To this day they have provided no evidence to support this claim.
In real science, when a statement of such magnitude is made, having evidence to support it is crucial.
