Censored by Facebook for calling climate criminals out

25 October 2018 Mik Aidt Commentary, World affairs

Allow my to have a rant. I don’t appreciate being censored. It hasn’t often happen – the only two times I recall were when I wrote something about the – in my view unpleasantly close – financial relationship between an association of patients suffering from a chronic disease and the medical industry which

Donald Trump’s own goal

5 June 2017 Mik Aidt Educational, World affairs One comment

First they enriched us with Donald Duck. Now the Americans are bringing to the world their very own… Donald Dumb and his backroom club of fossil fools. It may turn out to be better news that it seemed at first. American president Donald Trump’s own goal is not only that

“Kids, be glad about our melting polar ice caps”

6 September 2013 Mik Aidt World affairs One comment

“Everyone can appreciate how oil — the dinosaurs’ parting gift to Man — can be used to help build a better future for everyone. Let’s Go!” This is not Shell speaking. But it does look that way when you enter the (spoof) campaign website arcticready.com. Surely everyone can appreciate how

Hunger strike against giant coal project

30 August 2013 Mik Aidt World affairs

The level of commitment in pledges among anti-coal activists has taken a step upwards. Signatures or letter-writing simply won’t do any more.
