Grownup’ leaders are pushing us towards catastrophe, says former US climate chief

Grown-up leaders leading to climate ccatastrophe

Political leaders who present themselves as “grownups” while slowing the pace of climate action are pushing the world towards deeper catastrophe, a former US climate chief has warned.

“We are slowed down by those who think of themselves as grownups and believe decarbonisation at the speed the climate community calls for is unrealistic,” said Todd Stern, who served as a special envoy for climate change under Barack Obama, and helped negotiate the 2015 Paris agreement.

“They say that we need to slow down, that what is being proposed [in cuts to greenhouse gas emissions] is unrealistic,” he told the Observer. “You see it a lot in the business world too. It’s really hard [to push for more urgency] because those ‘grownups’ have a lot of influence.”

Ukraone soldiers

The situation on Ukraine’s eastern front has “deteriorated significantly in recent days” amid a stepped-up offensive by Russia, the head of the Ukrainian army said Saturday.

Kyiv has seen a “significant intensification of the enemy’s offensive” since Russian President Vladimir Putin won reelection in March, Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said, according to news agency AFP.

Syrskyi, who became military commander in February after the previous army head was fired by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, renewed calls for faster military aid from Western allies to counter Moscow's superior weapons. Russia is deploying new armored units which sometimes achieve tactical gains, he said.

Florida blocks heat protections for workers right before summer

DiSantis blocks heat protection for workersFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a law that prevents cities or counties from creating protections for workers who labor in the state's often extreme and dangerous heat.

Two million people in Florida, from construction to agriculture, work outside in often humid, blazing heat.

For years, many of them have asked for rules to protect them from heat: paid rest breaks, water, and access to shade when temperatures soar. After years of negotiations, such rules were on the agenda in Miami-Dade County, home to an estimated 300,000 outdoor workers.

But the new law, signed Thursday evening, blocks such protections from being implemented in cities and counties across the state.

TVNL Comment: There is no bottom for DiSantis and his cohorts.  Bottom feeders always find a way to go lower.

Scaramucci on Trump: US must ‘gird for when he loses in November’

Anthony ScaramucciFormer Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said the U.S. must “gird for when” his ex-boss loses in November.

“I think the country has to gird for when he loses in November — and he’s gonna lose in November,” Scaramucci told anchor Abby Phillip during a “CNN NewsNight” appearance Friday a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “He’ll claim that the election was rigged, and he’ll try to foment the same type of violence that he fomented on the sixth of January in 2021.”

Trump made comments last month at an Ohio rally that seemed to imply violence, were he to lose the 2024 presidential election.

The remarks came when Trump at one point warned China against attempting to open up factories in Mexico to sell cars to the U.S.

Condemnation from the United Nations chief and others was swift, with France saying Iran “is risking a potential military escalation,” Britain calling the attack “reckless" and Germany saying Iran and its proxies “must stop it immediately."

Biden announced $7.4 billion in student loan relief. Here's how that looks in your state

Student loansPresident Joe Biden announced another batch of student loan forgiveness Friday for 277,000 borrowers. The canceled debt adds up to $7.4 billion.

Most of those borrowers signed up for the president’s signature income-driven repayment plan – Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE. Through SAVE, people who originally borrowed a small amount ($12,000 or less) and have been paying it off for at least a decade are eligible for relief.

Others affected are 65,700 borrowers participating through other income-driven plans who should have qualified for relief but did not because their loan servicers wrongfully put them into forbearance. Fixes to those plans account for nearly half of the loans forgiven in the announcement Friday.
