The US has joined the EU in committing to net-zero emissions by 2050—and the latter to 55 per cent net lower emissions by 2030. Scientists fear the ‘net’ could displace urgency.
The threats of climate change are the direct result of there being too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it follows that we must stop emitting more and even remove some of it. This idea is central to the world’s current plan to avoid catastrophe. In fact, there are many suggestions as to how to actually do this, from mass tree planting, to high tech direct air capture devices that suck out carbon dioxide from the air.

USA:Trump falls into the trap he set for Biden - by Gabby Orr and Nancy Cook
Donald Trump will face Joe Biden
within days for the first of three presidential debates, and some of the
president’s supporters are already bracing for a humiliating loss.
White House allies, Republican donors
and some of Trump’s closest advisers worry that a recent, frenzied push
by his top lieutenants to portray Biden as a seasoned debater — with the
goal of raising expectations for the Democratic presidential nominee —
is too late and too disingenuous to have an impact when the two meet on
the debate stage next Tuesday.
They worry Trump has set a trap for himself by incessantly attacking
Biden’s age and mental acumen. It’s a tactic the president has
maintained even as his campaign publicly insists the former vice
president is fully capable of a satisfactory performance. Unlike the
president, who has spuriously claimed Biden is “probably” on
performance-enhancing drugs, Trump campaign communications director Tim
Murtaugh attributed Biden’s “quite good” performance in past debates to
the Democrat’s ability “to turn it on when the cameras come” after years
of experience in politics.

Turkey: Absolute Power: Erdogan’s Self-Made Trap - by Stephan Richter
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would do well, for his own sake, to consider Lord Acton’s famous dictum.
The 19th century English historian and politician is famous for his
insight, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts
absolutely.”
Mr. Erdogan is certainly succeeding with his effort to remove the few remaining obstacles to his near-totalitarian rule. The irony of it all is that the more he succeeds, the worse it becomes for his country — and, eventually, for himself.
Ultimately, Erdogan has but one ambition – a nation in total subservience to its fatherly leader. For that to become reality, he must root out any public display of Atatürk, the country’s predominant leader in its entire 20th century history. If Erdogan had his druthers, he would even eliminate the memory of him.
In a nutshell, Mr. Erdogan wants to be the new Atatürk, albeit in complete reverse. Erdogan stands against everything that Atatürk stood for.
