----------------------The 2016 New Climate Economy report indicates that, each year, US$2,000 billion will be needed for the global North and US$4,000 billion for the global South to finance the green infrastructure that would help move us closer to a carbon-neutral world early enough to limit global warming to no more than +2°C above the pre-industrial levels.
Rumors are that the porn lawyer's claim that a certain upright judge once ran a rape gang in high school isn't true: he was "punked".

phyorg: for election security go back to paper ballots? because hacking the vote is easy if you use electronic voting machines etc.
guess they've never heard the phrase "stuffing the ballot box".
PhilStar article: cheating in the elections? Let me count the ways.
IN ELECTIONS past when vote-counting was done manually, candidates who wanted to win at all costs cheated by buying votes, switching ballot boxes with new boxes containing fake ballots, and by having teachers in the polling precincts misread the names of candidates during the counting.

feral cats are all over the place here in the Philippines, but one town is trying to ban feeding them.
There is a great need for cat contraception: it's expensive to neuter them, so why not feed them hormones instead?
on the other hand, without feral cats you would be overrun by rats and snakes and lizards.
And ironically it is dogs, especially feral dogs, who keep down the feral cat population.
We see them too: very sad because they are scrounging dropped food at the nearby food court and palenke. And you don't know if they belong to someone and were left out to exercize/mate/do their thing (which is often done in the evenings), or ran away from someone or got lost. Which is why rabies is still a problem here.
