UN climate chief says fossil fuel phase out key to curbing warming but may not be on talks’ agenda

UN climate chief calls fossil fuel phase out key to curbing warming but may not be on talks' agenda The United Nations climate chief says phasing out all fossil fuels is central to curbing global warming. But in an interview with The Associated Press he also says the concept might not make it on agenda of “make-or-break” international climate negotiations this fall. United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell says he couldn’t quite promise that the idea of a fossil fuel phase out would get a spot on the agenda in climate talks because that's up to the conference president.

Rigorous wildlife disease surveillence needed

Sat, 2020-07-11 07:55 — mike kraft
Rigorous wildlife disease surveillance Evidence suggests that zoonotic (animal origin) coronaviruses have caused three recent emerging infectious disease (EID) outbreaks: severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In the search for an intermediate host for SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19), studies have identified SARS-CoV-2–like strains in bats ([ 1 ][1]) and pangolins ([ 2 ][2]), but these do not contain the same polybasic cleavage site that is present in SARS-CoV-2 ([ 3 ][3]).

The ‘Give Them Light’ project is about creating awareness into the lives of people living without basic needs which every human deserves. Let’s shed some light on to them so it will help create the connection between societies. We want to give them something that could help lighten their burden for those living in the dark. “Something simple, like a light, can put a smile on someone’s face”.
