Altering...

 

Advanced countries, like the US, UK and many in Europe, have been industrializing -- and emitting climate-altering gases in the process -- for around 200 years. A lot of the comforts of living in a developed country have come at the cost of the climate.

Since 1850, China has emitted 284 billion tons of CO2, according to new analysis by Carbon Brief, a UK-based organization covering climate, energy and policy.

The US, on the other hand, industrialized decades earlier and has released 509 billion tons of CO2 -- twice as much.

This in part comes down to lifestyle. Americans earn more money, they own more gas-guzzling cars, and they fly more than the average Chinese person.

Natural gas produces fewer emissions than coal, but it is still harmful to the climate, and there are growing concerns that the US and other parts of the world are investing too heavily in gas instead of renewables.

Accordingly, Afghanistan may be a country with no problems with Climate change.

IS today's life really an anti Climate or just a theory?.  Just a thought.

You...

 

Most of the problems we face is what we are doing to ourselves. Be kind........... to others and to yourself. You may be the enemy from within who is trying to take you down.

 Just a thought.

Degrading...

 

Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo was charged with groping a former aide in Albany’s Executive Mansion, a crime that could send him to jail for a year if he’s convicted.

A misdemeanor criminal complaint filed in Albany City Court alleges that Cuomo, 63, “did intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim … and onto her intimate body part.”

“Specifically, the victims left breast for the purposes of degrading and satisfying his sexual desire,” it adds.

The incident allegedly took place on the afternoon of Dec. 7 on the second floor of the Executive Mansion, the governor’s official residence.

The lawyer representing former Cuomo aide Brittany Commisso, 33, acknowledged it’s her.  

Degeneration...

 

Researchers announced earlier this month that they had found a link between a Western diet and cognitive decline.

Published in the Cell Press journal iScience, the Marshall University authors said. 
The mice eating the western diet increased their body weight and showed insulin resistance, lowered oxygen levels and low energy.

Additionally, it showed signs of behavioral changes in line with those typical of humans with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

"In this study, we found that a western diet produced systemic oxidant stress along with evidence of activation of Na,K-ATPase signaling within both murine brain and peripheral tissues," the authors wrote. 

"We also noted this diet caused increases in circulating inflammatory cytokines as well as behavioral, and brain biochemical changes consistent with neurodegeneration.

Uncertain...

 

Kyrsten Sinema struck an agreement on prescription drug pricing with President Joe Biden as part of Democrats' social spending talks, though it’s at risk of ultimately being excluded as the party tries to reach a deal that can pass.

The Arizona Democrat was somewhat reluctant to strike a deal on prescription drug price negotiation, a key campaign plank for many Democrats. But a source familiar said the president and Sinema were able to see eye to eye in the end.

That deal may not cost any one one more penny.

House Democrats fired back on Thursday. A Democratic aide said they were never party to the Sinema-White House agreement and saw it as a “Trojan horse devised by Big Pharma.”

The prescription drug pricing language was ultimately left out of the framework the White House released publicly, leaving its fate uncertain.

Promise...

 

In the meantime, the White House is seeking the cooperation of OPEC, meaning, Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who it otherwise is trying to hold at arm’s length. 

It also means seeking cooperation from OPEC+  essentially, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who no doubt will relish “the ask” being requested of him.

The prices of oil skyrocketed as the Democratic ideology failed.

Just a thought.

Raise...

 

Prices...

 

The White House is worried about “the need for reliable and stable global energy markets,”  What the Biden administration actually is concerned about are gasoline prices, and so it is calling on  OPEC, Russia and other oil exporters, collectively known as OPEC+, to increase production.

In the meantime, the White House is seeking the cooperation of OPEC, meaning, Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who it otherwise is trying to hold at arm’s length. It also means seeking cooperation from OPEC+  essentially, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who no doubt will relish “the ask” being requested of him.

The Biden's promise of not taxing the poor and the middle class just went out of the door the minute he cancelled the oil search /production and contracts for federal lands. Every Car owner, house owner, renter, truckers, busses, and prices of goods are shifted to the consumers including the very poor. Promises promises.   Just a thought.

Tyrant...

 

De Blasio has been among Cuomo's biggest public detractors for years and was in the first wave of fellow Democrats to demand the governor leave office when the allegations first surfaced earlier this year. 

In a pair of appearances, he said Cuomo was a "tyrant" of "Shakespearean" proportions who should face criminal charges for groping an aide, after the AG's investigation found the governor sexually harassed 11 women in violation of federal and state law.

Mayor Bill de Blasio hailed the downfall of his longtime rival Gov. Andrew Cuomo  but warned that New Yorkers should keep a close eye on the departing governor for further misdeeds until he’s actually out the door.

New Yorkers should also keep an open eyes on the Mayor himself as he discriminate against unvaccinated people and cause the loss of jobs to thousands of employee. Just compare this to any Republican Mayor in various States. Just a thought.
