The outlook for sea level rise has never been more pertinent and never so threatening. Global warming is running so far ahead of schedule, the dreaded +1.5°C pre-industrial already knocking on the door, as science consistently plays catchup, and sea level rise is one threat that may be on deck much sooner than anybody thought possible.
In early December 2024, hopes for a landmark global treaty to curb plastic pollution were dashed as negotiations in South Korea stalled. Leading the campaign against the deal were major oil-producing nations, especially Saudi Arabia and Russia, who argued for a more flexible approach to any legally binding limits on plastic manufacturing.
The overall impact of World Bank and IMF policies has been very negative for the Pakistan economy and for the people’s economy. It has resulted in price hikes and inequalities. Unemployment is at a historic high.
“DeepSeek’s Geopolitical Impacts”: DeepSeek’s open-source model will empower billions of people worldwide, accelerate global innovation, and challenge the existing technological and economic order. Also: “DeepSeek: How a Small Chinese AI Company is Shaking up US Tech Heavyweights”.
Not only a new administration, but a new ideology has now taken up residence at the White House: neofascism. It resembles in certain ways the classical fascism of Italy and Germany in the 1920s and ’30s, but with historically distinct features specific to the political economy and culture of the United States in the opening decades of the twenty-first century.
“The Profits of Fear”: Trump’s mass deportation plans are a racist racket with deep roots in U.S. history and law. Also: “Donald Trump’s War on Migrants”: If Donald Trump launches a war on terror domestically against migrants, that would be a war on America itself.
“Trump Bends the Arc of History in West Asia”; and: “Russia-Iran Treaty Signifies a ‘Breakthrough’ in Ties”.
The progressive alliance that backs Sri Lanka’s new president, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, won a landslide victory in last week’s parliamentary election. The government has a clear mandate for change but now faces many obstacles to its reform agenda.
When Nicaragua again announced its plan to build the alternative interoceanic canal to that of Panama, Washington, Wall Street and large multinationals launched an unprecedented media and political campaign against the government of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo.
Driven by internal crises and faced with the rapidly declining position of US and European imperialism on the world scale, the African continent and its rich resources are increasingly seen as a necessary means for their other war fronts.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
