A new report by Allianz SE says that the pressing issue of climate breakdown could be set to cost Europe €800 billion by 2030 — nearly the same as a pot of money for defence. Allianz is a criminal company investing massively in the genocide economy of so-called ‘Israel’. However, the insurer’s climate analysis has been backed by experts such as Patrick Bresnihan, associate professor at the geography department of Ireland’s Maynooth University. Writing for the Irish Times, Bresnihan called for: …nothing less than the wholesale remaking of our infrastructure, built environments and economic systems. Climate breakdown set to cost Europe €800…

As deadly heat covers Europe, governments must act quickly to protect lives and force fossil fuel companies to foot the bill. That’s the view of campaign group 350.org. There were more than 10,000 excess deaths across Europe during record-breaking heatwaves in June. Deadly wildfires are still raging in France and Spain. And even in the normally less extreme UK, the death toll has topped 2,700 and multiple fires have taken hold. Climate campaigners urge European governments to take urgent measures to protect the public, especially vulnerable populations, from heat impacts. This includes measures such as upgrading hospitals, care facilities, schools and…

For years, the European project of Paris Saint-Germain was inextricably linked to the name Kylian Mbappe. Since joining the club in 2017, the French striker became the most prominent face of the Parisian dream in the UEFA Champions League, while the club’s management spent billions in an effort to finally win the trophy that had eluded them. During that period, rumors constantly linked Mbappe with Real Madrid, a club historically synonymous with the continental competition. While Paris sought to retain its star to complete its European ambitions, the player continued to view a transfer to the Spanish capital as the quickest…

This is an AI-written (but human-edited) summary of Gary’s recent video: Why are the far right doing so well? And can it be stopped? Across the UK and Europe, far-right parties are surging.

The question is why they are winning — and that…
