climate changefossil fuelsCOP29UAEclimate finance

At the UN climate talks in Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) reaffirmed its commitment to transition away from fossil fuels, despite objections from Saudi Arabia and other allies. The UAE's stance is significant due to its role as a major oil producer and its recent history of hosting successful climate summits. Meanwhile, the conference has been marred by disputes over climate finance, particularly the role of private sector investment versus public funds and grants. The UAE's commitment to the fossil fuel phaseout is a crucial step towards addressing the climate crisis, but the success of the talks hinges on reaching a consensus on climate finance.

UkraineRussiaBidenMilitaryATACMS

In a significant shift, President Biden has reportedly authorized Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles against Russian targets, according to multiple media sources. This move follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's long-standing request for greater freedom to use U.S. weaponry. The deployment of North Koreans in Russia's Kursk region also influenced Biden's decision. The new policy could lead to Ukraine's first long-range attacks within days, potentially intensifying the conflict and increasing U.S. and NATO entanglement.
Key Points:

  • Biden allows Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles
  • Decision influenced by Zelenskyy's requests and North Korean deployment
  • Ukraine may conduct first long-range attacks soon
  • Move could intensify conflict and U.S. entanglement

Biden Derails Kamala's Campaign With 'Garbage' Gaffe, While She Struggles to Channel Joy of Summer Campaign

TrumpBidenElection2024KamalaHarrisGarbageCommentEarlyVoting

A 'garbage' comment from President Biden towards Trump voters has overshadowed Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign just a week before Election Day. The comment was made during a Zoom call, which Biden, not being tech-savvy, should not have been on. The Harris campaign has shifted from a joyful summer campaign to a darker, Trump-bashing final pitch. Despite her confidence, early voting data shows Republicans winning in North Carolina and Georgia for the first time in history. Harris' closing message echoes Biden's unsuccessful message of Trump being a dictator. She is also giving her closing speech in Washington, D.C., instead of battleground states, and has excluded President Biden from the event.
