Trump can't do that much climate damage

News, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 23/01/2025

» 'Drill, baby, drill", exulted the new President of the World (American branch), but he will find that the oil and gas industry isn't listening. As Darren Woods, CEO of ExxonMobil, tactfully put it in November: "I'm not sure how 'drill, baby, drill' translates into policy."

Feedback on climate – not in front of the kids

Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 16/01/2025

» 'This does not mean the international +1.5ºC target has been broken because that refers to a long-term average over decades." If those carefully chosen words don't set your alarm bells ringing, you have not travelled much in the land of lawyers.

Over in Canada, PM Trudeau bites the dust

News, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 09/01/2025

» Donald Trump excels in every field, including surrealism. Leonard Cohen sang "First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin!", but it's completely outclassed by Mr Trump's "First we take Greenland, then we take Canada!" And he's going to take the Panama Canal too!

Has Iran finally reached the end of the line?

Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 02/01/2025

» Six months ago, at the end of Iran's presidential election, I finished an article by speculating that the long-lived theocratic dictatorship in Iran may be a lot closer to its end than its beginning: "If you can plausibly say "This cannot go on forever", you are also saying "Some day this will come to an end'."

Nobody really wants to be a Nazi, but....

Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 27/12/2024

» 'Alternativ fur Deutschland" (AfD) means "The Alternative for Germany", and the alternative on offer is fascism. Not actual Naziism, but the AfD uses fascist rhetoric and tactics to attract German voters. It has also attracted some improbable foreign admirers.

Syria receives another chance with Assad gone

Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 10/12/2024

» Take a moment, first, to celebrate the fall of a regime of surpassing evil even by the demanding standards of the Middle East. Father and son, the Assad regime oppressed and abused the Syrian people for 53 years, and now it is gone in a week. Even the American-backed puppet regime in Afghanistan did not fall that fast.

News, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 04/12/2024

» One week in, the ceasefire in Lebanon seems to be holding, but everything is connected: only three days later, the civil war in Syria started up again after a de facto four-year truce.

No place on earth is worse off than Sudan

News, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 25/11/2024

» There are wars in the world worse than those in Ukraine and Gaza. The war in Sudan is insanely cruel and stupid, but you hardly hear anything about it. Why not? Because, like me, other journalists hate writing about it and avoid doing so if they can.

OPINION

There's no happy ending for the Chagos Islands

Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 25/10/2024

» If you believe the British government (which you should never do), a new agreement will bring justice for the people of the Chagos Islands, who have lived in exile for more than half a century after the main island, Diego Garcia, was turned into a giant American airbase in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
