It Wasn't Fascism All Along Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.

"Fascists just don’t care about economics. To them, it’s entirely secondary to the project of racial domination. They can sound vaguely β€˜populist’ and anti-corporate at times, ruthlessly capitalist at others. But in reality they’re neither."

An Island Nation in the South Pacific Leads the Latest Push for Climate Justice at the UN - Inside Climate News Vanuatu urges the U.N. to support a landmark International Court of Justice climate opinion that says governments have legal duties to confront climate change.

A small group of fossil-fuel powers often resists stronger climate rules. But most of the UN’s 193 countries still support a rules-based approach to global problems. Now Vanuatu is pushing a UN resolution that would anchor the ICJ’s climate ruling in international law and global policy.

Facts on the Ground | Alex Turnbull Mapping uncertainty and information in the global energy system

"Energy prices going to the moon are a problem, and we need to decarbonize while some fossil fuel extraction continues. The dilemma is how to navigate these tensions while transitioning a system that was already lacking in information in its previous state."
