Polar vortexes and high floods in temperature areas-more on what climate change could do to us

It was reported only yesterday that the northern part of the USA was experiencing a polar vortex, causing temperatures in some places to drop as low as -50 degrees Celsius-lower than the lowest temperatures of the Arctic Ocean, and cold enough to be life threatening to humans and to generally grind much of everyday human activity to an abrupt halt.

 Worse still, this polar vortex is causing the floods that heavily hit much of Britain's south coast to worsen, with waves higher than 10 metres expected in the southwest of England in particular. Quite a few people have already died as a result of these floods-more could follow.

 Readers, did any of you see 'The Day After Tomorrow'? If not, please search for it online. If you have, you can now see in retrospect that it clearly had a good point to demonstrate to us about the potential consequences of artificial climate change.

At the same time, the ConDems are failing to adequately invest in flood defence improvements and environmental protection, both of which will be increasingly important in coming years. The halting of the artificial climate change which is causing these storms will need international action, not just within Europe but also across continents.

Otherwise, it is not just lifestyles that will be altered by the effects of artificial climate change and global temperature increase, but our lives as well. And 'altered' will also in fact mean 'ended' in many cases.

My analysis of the Swedish general election of 2022

The Swedish general election of 2022 generated some surprising results, despite also averting pollsters' predictions significantly. The last three years in particular proved to be a rough ride for the Social Democrat led governments of Stefan Lofven and Magdalena Andersson respectively. Although Sweden's laxer approach to the COVID-19 pandemic (compared to most countries in Europe, which imposed lockdowns during much of 2020 and 2021, an approach that arguably caused more problems than it solved) proved effective, Mr Lofven's desire to lift the austerity tax (which only affected a wealthy minority, similar in nature to the wealth tax initiative of former French President Francois Hollande) and to join NATO proved contentious, with two of the Social Democrats' former coalition partners (the Swedish Greens and Swedish Left Party, who had both pulled out of confidence and supply) unsurprisingly voting against Swedish accession to NATO membership (all other parties in the R

On the 2020 Serbian election: Why a boycott will only worsen things there

First of all, I apologise for the recent hiatus; however elections are still postponed or on hold in many countries, including the UK. Serbia, however, was able to proceed with its 2020 general election amidst this crisis. Its overall result proved reminiscent of Hungarian elections under Viktor Orban's tenure (2010-present), since the leading national-conservative coalition, the SNS (Progressive Party of Serbia) coalition led by Serbian President Aleksander Vucic (Ana Brnabic is the Serbian Prime Minister, and the first woman and openly homosexual person to hold that position), polled 61.6% of the vote, giving them as many as 191 seats out of 250 and a majority of as high as 132, almost unheard of in any country with proportional representation. Press freedom has endured significant curbs since President Vucic first came into power as Serbian PM in 2012 (he became President of Serbia in 2017), as have civil liberties of Serbs in general. Nepotism and corruption in the Serbian

On the Spanish regional elections of 2023-a warning for progressives

The Spanish regional elections of 2023, especially those in the "Empty Spain" regions far west of the federal capital of Madrid and prosperous yet famously rebellious Catalonia, resulted in a sharp shift towards conservatism and conservative populism. Both Partido Popular (PP, Spain's equivalent of the Conservatives) and Vox (the Spanish equivalent of Reform UK/UKIP) made sweeping gains in all regions, notably taking overall control in Madrid (normally an impossible feat under Spain's PR system), more than doubling their seat total in Valencia to top the poll there, and wresting control of Asturias, La Rioja, and Cantabria from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE, Spain's equivalent of Labour) and the Cantabrian Regionalist Party respectively. Under the tenure of Pedro Sanchez, the current PSOE-Podemos coalition is floundering and has not done much to ensure Spain's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic since the last restrictions ended in 2021, and P
