We are often bombarded with fear-mongering and shocking headlines that make us feel that the world is falling apart.

However, while it’s important to report on problems and issues, I believe there is so much good in this world that it needs to be found and promoted just as widely.

Because of that, I started The Happy Broadcast. It's an anti-venom to the vitriolic rhetoric that pervades our media. Also, this year, I’ve illustrated even more happy news than in 2018.

We need more positive news to acknowledge that the world is actually getting better little by little.

More info: Instagram

When I'm working on The Happy Broadcast, I try to pick news that has an international appeal and touches themes like animal rights, climate change and science. News that shows how much we’re progressing on many fronts despite being often bombarded with few-mongering headlines.

I am so happy for their victory, but just find it bonkers that an indigenous tribe had to fight a legal battle to protect their land in the first place.

I think there are many reasons why negative news is dominating the media. It's like a sudden disaster a, it's more compelling than, for example, little improvements. Bad things can happen quickly, but good things aren’t built in a day, and as they unfold, they're out of sync with the news cycle.

As humans, we have this thing called “negative bias” that make us respond quicker to bad or dangerous situations. Nowadays, this bias is getting in the way of our happiness and well-being, and even our productivity because most of the narrative surrounding us (print, online or mobile) is that the “world is ending".

I think we should find a balance between negative and positive news. From politics to climate change and economy, negative and bad news surrounds us everywhere we go. A potential solution could be to limit the amount of bad news, basically slow down our personal news cycle, adding some positive news to our “news diet” to make sure that our outlook on the world is more optimistic. Also, it's very important to invest time to deal with misinformation and the reliability of news sources.

Hm, I think Sweden must have forgot to apply then. We dont have stray dogs, at least for decades. Any lost dog gets collected, if no owner is found it gets adopted via Animal Protection. I have seen one or two lost dogs, where we found the owner, but never a genuine stray.

SOOOO not against this! But....shouldn't it be equal pay for equal skill? (meaning, no race, gender, age, or any discrimination at all!) If you have more skill in the task, you get paid more, if you have less you get paid less. Plain and simple (yet I know it is more difficult to prove wrong-doing that way too)

NASA satellite has noted a greater amount of photosynthetic material, a very large portion of this is stuff like blue-green algae and other extremely poisonous biological material which is taking oxygen from water and mud, denying other things from living and is in fact reducing bio diversity.

This is rather misleading, as much of this is due to global warming which allows plants to grow in more places. Also China & India's positive reforestation efforts are good, but are completely outpaced by their continued massive carbon emissions. https://ecobnb.com/blog/2019/09/nasa-earth-greener-india-china/

In short, the study showed that around a third of vegetated areas on the planet have become greener in the last 35 years. Crunch the numbers in the study and you come out to a total of 13% more green leafy matter in that time. They attribute 70% of the change to the increased levels of CO2, followed by nitrogen at 9% (IIRC).

The world is greener because the CO2 levels are increasing, CO2, water and solar radiation, are essential to plant growth. The biggest explosion of life that we can see in fossil records, took place about 500 000 000 years ago during the Cambrian period. CO2 levels were around 7000ppm. As human beings we're polluting and destroying many things in our environment, but CO2 is not our enemy. Trees die when CO2 goes below 190ppm, the world is greening because plants have more food. 150 years ago people used to be almost a foot shorter than today, on average. It was due to malnutrition. More food today, bigger people. Jewish banking cartels are behind all the climate alarmist. They want your money, fear is their weapon of choice, and they have plenty of celebrities, like Leo Dicaprio doing their betting. Give control of a country's money, and I care not who make its laws. Google this statement and you will know who rules over you.

There's a logic to this. Earth designed animals and us to breathe in oyxgen and breathe out co2. The plants are designed to breathe in C02 and breathe out oyxgen so the more co2 we have, the more plants will grow and the more they will continue to recycle our oxygen supply.

NASA took images showing the Earth greening on a global scale in equal percentages as the deforestation in the Amazon. The atmosphere has Co2 at rates lower than claimed by global warming fear mongers. In fact many actual scientists, not those who are paid to go on TV, say the atmosphere is at a lower than average normal level of Co2 based on Ice core samples taken over the last 50 years. These ice cores show that the Co2 levels would be higher than they are now going back tens of thousands of years, not just the last 60 years the climate change crowd thinks. Research is a beautiful thing.

Although the use of solar panels is green, many solar panel manufacturing processes are not. To create a solar panel, caustic materials will emit greenhouse gases. Plus less than 11% of each panel has salvageable metals so they're not very recyclable once they're usable life has expired. Most people aren't aware that the 'green' alternatives often aren't.
