Russian President Vladimir Putin “is right” when he claims the West is destroying itself through woke politics, according to Herald Sun journalist Caleb Bond. It comes after the Russian President gave a speech last week where he warned against the cancel culture and identity politics of the West and argued Russia had "been there already” while under communist rule. “He makes the point about the fact that the fight for equality has sort of turned into absurdity,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “And it’s quite interesting to look at the change; I mean you look at people who went to university in the 60s, 70s, 80s, there was a fight really for free speech, there as a fight for freedom of expression and to some degree, freedom of the individual.” Mr Bond argued the people going to university now “fundamentally” believe in the same ideas which were pushed by the left in the past, but now their strategy is to silence people they disagree with. “The road that was paved by left-wingers of the past is now being torn up by left-wingers supposedly in the name of the same fight that their ancestors took.”

At the U.N.’s COP26 climate conference, U.S. President Joe Biden sought to assure world leaders the United States would keep its promise to slash greenhouse gas emissions by more than half by the end of the decade.

U.S. President Joe Biden has said one of the most important things the world can do is reduce methane emissions as quickly as possible. “It’s one of the most potent greenhouse gases there is,” he told COP26 attendees at the launch of the Global Methane Pledge, a pact to cut methane emissions by 30% by the end of the decade. “It amounts to about half the warming we’re experiencing today.” Biden said signatories to the pact “could probably go beyond” the pledge’s 30% reduction target. “Today [almost] 100 countries are signing on to the pledge, accounting for half of global methane emissions or 70% of global GDP,” he said. “It’s going to make a huge difference, not just when it comes to fighting climate change — it’s going to improve health, improve food supply and boost economies.”
