The UK government has until 19 January to decide whether to block the Scottish gender recognition bill from royal assent. Rishi Sunak claims to be awaiting advice before setting out the next steps.
"Stephen Flynn, the [Scottish National Party] Westminster leader, warned it would be anti-democratic for the UK government to block the bill. He said: “The Scottish parliament has voted in favour of legislation that sits within devolved competencies, and it’s incumbent upon Westminster to ensure that legislation is passed in full.”"
The bill was passed at Holyrood by 86 votes to 39.

I'm constantly amazed at us, our inability to anticipate worse, the failure of our collective imaginations when it comes to non-linear climate impacts
The way we're behaving assumes we have mastery of the crisis we have caused (CCUS and decarbonisation) and pays zero respect whatsoever to how Earth systems might react to this unprecedented destabilisation
We never (even at IPCC level) seem to factor in LPHI events into modelling, and it's going to trip us up very soon #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis https://www.carbonbrief.org/tonga-volcano-eruption-raises-imminent-risk-of-temporary-1-5c-breach/?utm_source=cbnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2023-01-13&utm_campaign=Daily+Briefing+13+01+2023

"Australia's treatment of Indigenous Australians, refugees and climate protesters is harming the government's credibility when promoting human rights abroad, according to Human Rights Watch.
"The US-based organisation's annual World Report — which looks back at global human rights issues in 2022 — identified instances where Australia had fallen short on protecting the rights of children, freedom of expression and taking action on climate change."

“The murder drew global condemnation, with human rights groups linking it to his sexuality.
“But police have not done so, and have not yet given a motive for the murder …
