LATEST INSIGHT FROM KIN
'Real Left Must Pressure Govt' ( January 13) by Prue Hyman lays our present climate predicament on the line.
She says: 'Anyone who still denies that the increasing frequency of these extreme events is mainly due to human excesses leading to global warming is in cloud cuckoo land.'
So summer and politics are not separate – we all need to decide what we can do in our personal and political lives to make a difference on carbon emissions and climate change. Read more in our main column, Jan. 13…

'Winter in Winnipeg' from a story from our Canadian correspondent Eribert Loehner.
He didn't take the photo -- he was safely back in Vancouver in British Columbia, where it's much warmer.
COMMENT OF THE WEEK
Nigel Farage has made a dramatic admission that the vote for Brexit could be overturned because Remainers have seized control of the argument over Britain’s future relationship with the EU.
The former United Kingdom Independence leader says he is becoming increasingly worried that the Leave camp has stopped fighting their corner, leaving a well-funded and organised Remain operation free to influence the political and public debate without challenge.
“The Remain side are making all the running,” said Farage. “They have a majority in parliament, and unless we get ourselves organised we could lose the historic victory that was Brexit.”
THIS MONTH IN HISTORY —
In Japan, the Supreme Commander, General Douglas MacArthur, recommended in a telegram to the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, that Japan's Emperor Hirohito not be put on trial for war crimes.
He noted that 'No specific and tangible evidence has been uncovered,' adding that 'his indictment will unquestionably cause a tremendous convulsion among the Japanese people, the repercussions of which cannot be over-estimated.'
Hirohito continued to reign as Emperor of Japan until his death in 1989.[63]

A WORD IN EDGWAYS —
Catherine Deneuve, who's has been in more than 100 films in a career spanning decades, now says 'Puritanism' is running rampant 'like in the good old days of witchcraft.' She, and a group of leading Frenchwomen, say the freedom of men to pester is 'essential to sexual freedom.' She's the most high-profile of 100 French women who have signed an open letter criticising the #MeToo social-media campaign, and related drives to expose sexual harassment in France and elsewhere. The campaigns, they said, had gone beyond exposing individual perpetrators, and had unleashed a torrent of 'hatred against men and sex.' Catherine Deneuve.
