Lets start today with something positive:
As Charlotte Tomlinson relates, the introduction of routine use of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine in 2008 (for girls between 12-13 years old) has led to a massive reduction in deaths from cervical cancer in the cohorts so vaccinated.
Quite apart from the positive consequences of death's avoided, its also a great example of the value (both social & economic) of preventative medicine.

Müßt ihr bei dieser Hitze draußen zu Fuss unterwegs sein, nutzt immer Gehwege, die im Schatten liegen. Das kann im Extremfall, wie vor unserem Haus, einen Unterschied von bis zu ~20° C machen!! Voll krass ...
If you have to walk outside in this heat, always use sidewalks that are in the shade!

Cheap, effective and dangerous: how Australian farmers came to depend on the toxic weedkiller paraquat

There is an alternative to climate breakdown, political extremism, and economic tensions.
A set of bold policy proposals, including hefty wealth taxes on billionaires, sharp reductions in working hours, a change in diets and a shift of investment from materially intense sectors, such as industry and mining, to education and health.
If these and other measures are taken the incomes of 89% of the world’s population would double by 2100 and global heating would be kept below 2C (3.6F) over the preindustrial average.
This vision provides a positive alternative to the grim projections from far-right techno extractivists, nationalists and billionaires who claim the future will inevitably bring more fossil fuels, climate disruption and inequality.
