From floods across South and South-East Asia to toxic fire haze and typhoons battering East Asia, climate disasters are hitting millions. Fossil fuels are supercharging the chaos: homes destroyed, harvests lost, communities cut off and blackouts leaving families without power. Meanwhile, polluters cash in. Make polluters PAY. Time to END the age of fossil fuels. #makepolluterspay #asia #eastasia #thailand #japan #india #philippines #fossilfuels #climatechange #climatecrisis #floods #smoke

“While Waiting for Armageddon, Watch Pepe Escobar’s New Documentary on Iran” by Larry C. Johnson in Sonar21 “By noon eastern time on Thursday [Feb 26] we will likely know whether or not Donald Trump will sign off on an order to attack Iran. [..] While we wait, I encourage you to watch the video-linked below. It is a new documentary by my dear friend, Pepe Escobar, that is a result of his journey last year to Iran to study the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC). The INSTC is designed not only to boost Iran-Russia trade, but to unlock unique economic opportunities for many other countries. It is the first English-language documentary ever made on the INSTC” https://sonar21.com/while-waiting-for-armageddon-watch-pepe-escobars-new-documentary-on-iran/ #Press #SocialMedia #Iran #INSTC #Russia #China #India #EastAsia #Eurasia #Trump #War #RegimeChange
