Poverty vs Climate Change - The World Bank's Dilemma

Mallen Baker: Faultlines ·

2023/04/21

During the last week, a major summit that was supposed to advance climate onto the World Bank agenda hit an impasse. Meanwhile, China is rapidly gaining as the alternative lender to developing countries. The stakes are pretty big - it could just be the biggest problem that no-one's talking about.Support this channel!https://patreon.com/mallenbakerThe Mallen Baker Show covers news, current affairs, science and politics.

Nordstream sabotage - now it's getting weird

2023/03/10

Suggestions come from US intelligence that a pro-Ukraine group was responsible for the Nord Stream pipeline explosions. We learn that the UK government had an undisclosed position to reject the lab leak hypothesis to keep good relations with China. Massive farmers protests in Brussels underline how the EU’s.

UK Covid lockdown mistakes revealed

2023/03/03

It’s retro news week, apparently. A massive leak of whatsapp text messages from the heart of government shows the unedifying reality of the UK’s response to Covid. The US energy department declares that it now believes a lab leak is the most likely cause of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Are we inevitably drifting towards technocracy?

Mallen Baker: Faultlines ·

2023/02/28

Last week, the former UK Labour prime minister Tony Blair, and the former would-be Conservative prime minister William Hague produced a joint report calling for a British technology revolution. Some of the response to this – particularly on the populist right – was that this was the face of technocracy. Partly that’s true – and partly it’s not. But the push towards technocracy is inbuilt to our current situation. Let's discuss.Support this channel!https://patreon.com/mallenbakerThe Mallen Baker

2023/02/24

The world marks the one year anniversary of the start of the Ukraine war with big speeches on all sides saying nothing new. China puts itself forward as a neutral peace broker in ways that may please neither Russia nor America. The US supreme court is offered the chance to break the internet with a single decision, but looks like declining the offer.

A Chinese sky balloon is blown out of the sky along with recent hopes of easing tension between the two countries. Russia apparently begins to ramp up for a major offensive as President Zelensky visits the UK and Europe.

The UK’s armed forces recruitment comes under scrutiny with allegations that competence is no longer a key criteria for air force pilots.
