High heat: Radio waves from Russia cause temperature surge in ionosphere
High-frequency radio waves from a Russian research facility are capable of causing sudden and significant temperature increases in Earth’s upper atmosphere.
Chinese and Russian researchers reached this conclusion by analyzing a series of joint experiments carried out by their countries in June. A recently launched Chinese satellite was used to monitor conditions in the ionosphere as it passed over the Sura Ionospheric Heating Facility.
The facility is located near Vasilsursk, Russia. It was created to help Russian researchers better understand the ionosphere, which covers the parts of the atmosphere from approximately 60 to 1,000 kilometres in altitude.

Conditions in the ionosphere can significantly impact satellite communications and air travel. Its weather patterns are different than those closer to the planet’s surface, and much more difficult to forecast.
Those conditions changed rapidly during one of the five experiments carried out in June, the researchers found.
On the night of June 12, the satellite was able to register a brief period during which the temperature of ions in the ionosphere increased by 100 C.
“The detection of plasma disturbances on June 12 … provides evidence for likely success of future related experiments,” the researchers said.
The other four tests did not result in any unusual phenomena that could be observed from the satellite.
Still, the one successful finding was not entirely unexpected. Scientists have previously found “interesting phenomena” in the ionosphere including raised electron temperatures caused by high-frequency heating from facilities such as Sura.
The researchers say they hope their success will lead to further study of the effects Sura’s radio waves can have on the ionosphere.

U.S. sportswear traced to factory in China's internment camps
HOTAN, China – Barbed wire and hundreds of cameras ring a massive compound of more than 30 dormitories, schools, warehouses and workshops in China's far west. Dozens of armed officers and a growling Doberman stand guard outside.
Behind locked gates, men and women are sewing sportswear that can end up on U.S. college campuses and sports teams.
This is one of a growing number of internment camps in the Xinjiang region, where by some estimates 1 million Muslims are detained, forced to give up their language and their religion and subject to political indoctrination. Now, the Chinese government is also forcing some detainees to work in manufacturing and food industries. Some of them are within the internment camps; others are privately owned, state-subsidized factories where detainees are sent once they are released.
The Associated Press has tracked recent, ongoing shipments from one such factory inside an internment camp to Badger Sportswear, a leading supplier in Statesville, North Carolina. The shipments show how difficult it is to stop products made with forced labour from getting into the global supply chain, even though such imports are illegal in the U.S. Badger CEO John Anton said Sunday that the company would source sportswear elsewhere while it investigates.
Chinese authorities say the camps, which they call training centres, offer free vocational training for Uighurs, Kazakhs and others, mostly Muslims, as part of a plan to bring minorities into "a modern civilized" world and eliminate poverty in Xinjiang. They say that people in the centres have signed agreements to receive vocational training.
The Xinjiang Propaganda Department did not respond to a faxed request for comment. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman accused the foreign media Monday of making "many untrue reports" about the training centres, but did not specify when asked for details.
"Those reports are completely based on hearsay evidence or made out of thin air," the spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, said at a daily briefing.
However, a dozen people who either had been in a camp or had friends or family in one told the AP that detainees they knew were given no choice but to work at the factories. Most of the Uighurs and Kazakhs, who were interviewed in exile, also said that even people with professional jobs were retrained to do menial work.

Holy fuck
The climate leftists are trying to co-opt the yellow vest protests in France
The Yellow Vests Movement Isn’t Anti-Climate Action; It’s Pro-Social Justice
The Yellow Vests riots sweeping across France have grabbed headlines as governments gather in Katowice, Poland for the UN climate conference (COP24). This is the most widespread and violent protest in France since the 2005 suburban riots, and perhaps even 1968. While the unrest initially erupted as a protest against the latest rise in fuel taxes, which the government has now agreed to postpone, some are attributing the riots to a backlash against carbon taxes and climate action. This is a misguided conclusion.
The Yellow Vests’ chief concern is social inequity. Their demands go well beyond the suspension of fuel taxes, and many of them call for more ambitious and fair climate action. The movement is a reminder to governments that in a context of worsening social disparities, climate action cannot advance without ensuring benefits for all.
Yellow Vests Call for a Fair Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy
The Yellow Vests is an eclectic grassroots movement with no political or union representation and very diverse demands, ranging from finding a roof for all homeless people to raising the minimum wage to dissolving the parliament. Supported by 72 percent of the French population, according to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, this protest shows deep distrust in politics and strong anger against a steady rise in inequalities. The clear message from the Yellow Vests' 42 demands is about social justice, not stopping climate action.
In fact, a separate Yellow Vests’ communique highlights ecology as a top priority, and urges the government to “put in place a real ecological policy and not a few piecemeal fiscal measures.” The list of 42 demands includes proposals to make the climate transition fairer, and some demands call for even more ambitious climate action. The Yellow Vests are not against carbon pricing in general: They propose introducing fuel and kerosene taxes for ships and airplanes.
What the Yellow Vests’ proposals call for is more equitable fiscal policy. They note that the increase in fuel taxes comes after major tax cuts for high-income earners and would disproportionately affect the working and middle classes living in suburban and rural areas. There are also concerns that the revenue from fuel taxes would finance a controversial pro-business tax credit for employment and competitiveness (CICE), not a green transition.
In addition, the proposal asks for more alternatives to gasoline and diesel vehicles, calling for the maintenance of small rural train lines currently under threat of closure, as well as a massive investment plan in hydrogen vehicles. Other proposals for a fair climate transition include a large plan for housing insulation, presented as a win-win solution for climate and households’ budgets.
What is interesting is that France is the first country in the world to have a Ministry for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition. In addition, last year former Minister Nicolas Hulot adopt a “Climate Solidarity Package” of compensatory measures and bonuses to ensure that climate action benefits low-income households. What this shows is that planning a fair, low-carbon transition cutting across all policies is not easy, and requires engagement from the whole government.
