Burning man was Saxon or Celtic and was ancient before Christianity came to the British Isles

Paganism in its various flavors were around for centuries before Christianity
Celtic crosses were old when the early Christians were still using the fish symbol

US profits from climate change loans to poor countries – media
A program billed as fighting global warming has reportedly funneled back billions of dollars to wealthy nations
22 May, 2024
A program that ostensibly helps developing nations deal with the effects of climate change has reportedly generated windfall profits for Japan, the US, and other wealthy countries, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The gains stem from a pledge to provide $100 billion a year to help poor nations cope with climate change and undertake projects to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, according to the report, which cites an analysis of UN and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data. Benefactor countries have channeled money from the program back into their own economies, reaping billions of dollars in profits, it says.
Japan, the US, France, Germany, and other wealthy nations have made the initiative a money-making opportunity by extending loans at market rates – rather than giving grants or low-interest financing – or insisting that the recipients hire their companies to carry out the projects. Reuters said it identified nearly $22 billion in loans and grants that came with such strings attached.
“Offering climate loans at market rates or conditioning funding on hiring certain companies means that money meant for developing countries gets sent back to wealthy ones,” Reuters said. Liane Schalatek, associate director with Germany’s Heinrich-Boll Foundation policy think tank, called the tactics “deeply reprehensible.” She added, “Climate finance provision should not be a business opportunity.”
The funding pledges were first made in 2009, supposedly to help poor countries that were disproportionately harmed by climate change. Roughly $353 billion was paid from 2015 through 2020. Reuters said more than half of that money came in the form of loans, which indebted poorer nations used “to solve problems largely caused by the developed world.”
Andres Mogro, Ecuador’s former director of climate initiatives, said the program heaped a new wave of debt on the global south. “It’s like setting a building on fire and then selling the fire extinguishers outside.”
Ritu Bharadwaj, a researcher at the UK-based International Institute for Environment and Development, told Reuters that the benefits reaped by developed nations have overshadowed the program’s primary objective of supporting climate action in poorer countries. “This is a classic example where a bad loan, which has been given to a country in the garb of climate finance, will create further financial stress.”

Dear Troop:
16 inch naval rifle
throws a HE shell 20 miles
impact crater is 50 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep
At some stage the Navy got tired of hearing the complaints about jungles and developed a variable-time fuze for the 16 inch rounds. The shell would head downrange a hundred yards or so then detonate becoming an actual ton of steel shrapnel. Naval Rifle became Naval Shotgun.
And the part where legacy Media journos noticed it all but it took Australia's Skynews to be the first to point it out
