North Korea ranks among the most heavily-bombed countries in history, surpassed only by the US attacks on Laos and Vietnam. Over 3 years, the US destroyed nearly all of the country's cities and towns, including 85% of its buildings. By the end of the campaign, US bombers had difficulty finding anything left to bomb.

Poor countries are the front lines of climate disaster. So why does news only report on the flooding in Western Europe, but not, say, the devastating drought in Madagascar, the floods in Chad, the wind storm in the Gambia, or the forest fires in the Congo? Are those lives valued less?
10 million bicycles are available through public bike share systems. Most of them are in China.⠀
