Drax: UK power station still burning rare forest wood – Stigmatis News (Me: true face of Tory government… hypocritical!)

Drax power station in North Yorkshire

Papers obtained by Panorama show Drax took timber from rare forests in Canada it had claimed were “no-go areas”.

It comes as the government decides whether to give the firm’s Yorkshire site billions more in environmental subsidies funded by energy bill payers.

Drax says its wood pellets are “sustainable and legally harvested”.

The Drax Power Station, near Selby in North Yorkshire, is a converted coal plant which burns wood pellets. In 2023, it produced about 5% of the UK’s electricity. The site has become a key part of the government’s drive to meet its climate targets.

Its owner, Drax, receives money from energy bill payers because the electricity produced from burning pellets is classified as renewable and treated as emission-free.

In fact, the power station emits about 12 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, but under international rules the UK doesn’t have to count these emissions.

GHANA PASSES A LAW – IF YOU LGBTQ – GO TO JAIL – AND BECOMES NEW SKUNK OF THE WORLD – O-blog-dee-o-blog-da

Ghana has become the new skunk of the world! The Parliament of Ghana has passed new anti-LGBTQ law today, sending Ghana’s LGBTQI+ community into hiding, panic and flight. The Promotion of Proper Human Sexuality and Family Values Bill is Ghana’s equivalent to Uganda’s Kill the Gays Bill, and may actually be worse for some of its terms than Uganda’s recently passed law, even though it does not include life imprison or the death penalty. Worse in the sense of the identity clause.

This is because the Ghanaian law says that if a person simply identifies or quote “holds out” as being LGBTQ – or an ally, they will be subject to lengthy jail terms.

That means someone like me, Melanie Nathan, an open lesbian, or more famously Wanda Sykes, comedian, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, Elliot Paige, openly trans man, Chaz Bono, or U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, as well as United States Senator Tammy Baldwin, to name but a few are all criminals subject to prison terms in Ghana from the moment the law takes effect.

Ghanaian Parliament’s Passage of Legislation Undermines Human Rights – United States Department of State

The United States is deeply troubled by the Ghanaian Parliament’s passage of legislation, officially called the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, which would threaten all Ghanaians’ constitutionally protected freedoms of speech, press, and assembly.  The bill seeks to criminalize any person who simply identifies as LGBTQI+, as well as any friend, family, or member of the community who does not report them.  Limiting the rights of one group in a society undermines the rights of all.  The United States echoes the call by those Ghanaians who have urged a review of the constitutionality of the bill to protect the rights of all individuals in Ghana.

CDC advisers recommend spring COVID booster for seniors | CIDRAP

Vaccine advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today recommended that people ages 65 and older receive an additional dose of the current monovalent (single-strain) COVID-19 vaccine this spring.

The vote from the Advisory Committee on Immunization (ACIP) targets a group at higher risk for COVID-19 hospitalization and death. Immunity is known to wane following vaccination as well as infection, and it’s been almost 6 months since the CDC weighed in with its last advice, which was that people ages 6 months and older receive the updated COVID vaccine targeting the XBB.1.5 variant.
