It's remarkable how climate disasters become a global emergency only when they affect the wealthier parts of the world. Across the Global South, people have been living through relentless heat, prolonged droughts, devastating wildfires, and failing harvests for years with little attention, yet a single week of unusually high temperatures in Northern Europe suddenly puts climate change at the center of the conversation. Yes, countries in the Sahel, North Africa, and other hot regions have always been accustomed to warm climates, but there is a huge difference between ordinary summer heat and temperatures above 45°C lasting for weeks or months. That isn't normal. Agricultural workers dying from extreme heat in India isn't normal. The Mediterranean warming at an exceptional pace isn't normal. Record droughts driving wildfires across the Amazon isn't normal. The years-long drought in the Horn of Africa isn't normal. People here may have adapted to living in hotter climates, but no one can adapt indefinitely to heat that keeps becoming more intense and more frequent. Across the Global South, people and animals are dying, crops are failing, ecosystems are deteriorating, and livelihoods are being destroyed. .

That belief, trust and faith in one another is how good teams become great teams.
It’s how special moments become miracles.
And we witnessed one last night.
"Third World" is not a ranking of development; it is a ranking of who was robbed the most.
The "First World" is simply the Crime Lord, and the "Third World" is the Victim.
Do not accept their hierarchy of theft as a measure of your worth.
"We must understand that today's imperialism does not always land with armies. It arrives with contracts, loans, aid, and agreements that bind our future to the interests of others. He who feeds you, in many cases, controls you."

Reid: Why did the Iran hostage crisis take place?
Todd: Because fundamentalist radicals took over the government
Reid: They overthrew the shah who we imposed on Iran because the Dulles brothers, one at the CIA and one at the state department, decided that the oil beneath the soil of Iran belonged to BP and belonged to us. And when mossadegh, who was the leader of Iran, the democratically elected leader of Iran, said that we would like to audit BP because we want to know if you are cheating us or paying the people of Iran based on the oil under their soil. And they said, you may not audit us. And then we overthrew him and he wound up dying in prison because we decided in our arrogance as a country, got to own their oil.
