1992: the world agrees with science that we must stop climate change.
1997: the world agrees with science that we must stop climate change.
2015: the world agrees with science that we must stop climate change.
Then why do the crises graphs still confirm the global crisis?
Food supplies to Gaza have fallen sharply in recent weeks because Israeli authorities have introduced a new customs rule on some humanitarian aid and are separately scaling down deliveries organised by businesses, people involved in getting goods to Gaza told Reuters.
As a result, shipments have not been getting through the Jordan route – a key channel in Gaza supplies – for two weeks.

Scored purely on affect & debating technique — w/o regard to factual accuracy — #JDVance did a bit better. He stuck to his 2-pronged strategy: 1st, to blame #KamalaHarris for everything voters don’t like that has happened under the #Biden admin; & 2nd, to put a reasonable-seeming face on #Trumpism.

I used the paddle boats on Lake Geneva like transit, thnx to the Swiss Travel Pass (gives you a free ride on all transport in #Switzerland). You can hop on and off at #Geneva, Lausanne, Vevey, Montreux. Slower than trains—but so relaxing.

Dystopian displays of technological prowess serve to distract the Israeli public from the military's failure to achieve its long-stated war aims.
Israel will not bring about regional security through displays of tech supremacy. Theatrical Mossad operations, algorithmically-determined airstrikes, and AI-assisted fighting forces may paint an alluring picture, but behind the scenes is a battered military waging a war with no end strategy.

That would explain the heavy police repression and violence against Palestine solidarity protesters on campus
Police in Denmark said on Wednesday that they are investigating two explosions likely caused by hand grenades near Israel’s Embassy in Copenhagen.
Two of the men were apprehended on a train at Copenhagen’s main railway station, while the third man was detained elsewhere in the Danish capital shortly after the blasts, Copenhagen Police Chief Superintendent Jens Jespersen told reporters.

What’s really different about the AirPods 4 models?
iFixit x-rayed and ripped Apple’s new earbuds apart, and found two things the AirPods 4 with ANC have that the regular model doesn’t: A “$2 microphone” and a speaker in the case are what accounts for the $50 price difference between the two.
Of course, that doesn’t account for any software Apple has to license to make its ANC work.
#WorldWar3 No one knows when and if?
But what we can do is talk about it and work towards a peaceful & sustainable tomorrow in whatever way an individual can.

in reply to Nonilex • • •So, on points, #JDVance may have won by a nose. But he did so in a way that is unlikely to matter very much, if at all, for the presidential contest. In general, vice presidential debates very rarely impact the polls. And this particular debate lacked any breakout moment likely to dominate headlines for days in what’s become a very crowded October news environment (Middle East escalation, Hurricane Helene, the port strike).

in reply to Nonilex • • •Vance didn’t engage in bomb-throwing; he wasn’t an attack dog or an edgelord. He assured viewers that he felt their pain and that their pain was all Kamala Harris’s fault. (He solved the problem of how to hold Harris responsible for Biden’s record by simply rebranding the Biden-Harris administration as the “Kamala Harris administration,” pretending she was in charge of everything all along.)

in reply to Nonilex • • •…#TimWalz’s performance was not disastrous. Far from it. He seems to have come off just fine to viewers, per CBS’s post-debate poll, & he had several good moments. For instance, it was smart of him to ask #JDVance directly whether #Biden won the 2020 election, & to call Vance’s dodge a “damning non-answer.”
It was not exactly a masterful showing, though. #Walz seemed uncomfortable in the format compared to the smooth-talking #Vance, …& he often missed opportunities to call out Vance’s #lies….

in reply to Nonilex • • •One of #JDVance’s more remarkable #lies of the night was this: #Trump saved #Obamacare.
He said the #law “was crushing under the weight of its own regulatory burden in health care costs” before TFG took office in 2017 & started loosening some of its rules.
“I think he can make a good argument that it salvaged Obamacare, which was doing disastrously until Donald Trump came along,” #Vance said.

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Trump supported the #Republican #Congress’s effort to roll back most of Obamacare, including undoing some of the regulations for #PreexistingConditions & making major #cuts to #Medicaid. It failed because of #JohnMcCain.
Trump dramatically cut funding for #enrollment outreach. He tried to introduce Medicaid work requirements for people covered by the #ACA’s expansion (but was stopped by the courts).

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Trump deregulated short-term #insurance plans that left people vulnerable to thousands of dollars in #bills if they had a serious #medical emergency.
In 2016, when Trump was elected, the #ACA marketplaces covered 12.7 million people. In 2020, when he lost the election to Joe #Biden, they covered 11.4M. After 4 years of Biden, 21.4M Americans are getting their insurance through HealthCare.gov or one of its state counterparts.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Voters have come to trust #Democrats on #healthcare much more over the years since the #law #Republicans tagged as “#Obamacare” passed. More than 60% of Americans now say they like the #ACA.
In 2010, Obamacare was the culprit for the Democratic wipeout in #Congress, but its political fortunes have turned dramatically. In 2018, Democrats won the #House, largely by running on a message that w/o a Democratic check, #Trump’s myriad efforts to topple the #law would succeed.
