Severe weather forecast

An exciting but brief run this morning, cut short for health reasons as high winds blew pieces of tree around.
Recently, India has often been portrayed in the West as part rapidly growing economy, part eco-villain, so it’s good to see a rather more nuanced account, by the excellent John Pilger, in the Morning Star (ref). On the other hand, the internal divisions that he describes, seen in juxtaposition with the destructive tensions between army and government in Pakistan (ref), suggest a potential for instability in the region that makes the Eurozone look like a holiday camp.
