Plant, Restore Soil, Repeat. Could Nature Help Curb Climate Change? (Mili)

From the Christian Science Monitor: “‘Nature-based solutions’ are the latest climate buzzwords, offering a strategy to fight climate change that is gaining widespread and bipartisan support. But what does it mean to do this well?”

TASHKENT, Uzbekistan — A president’s daughter gets an important government job, becomes an omnipresent style icon, a businesswoman (whose success depends upon rampant labor abuses among other things), and philanthropist, and looks to a future in politics.

Sound familiar? 

No, this is not about Ivanka Trump. This is about Gulnara Karimova, the eldest daughter of the late Uzbek President Islam Karimov as she was circa 2010.

Au terme de quatre semaines de confinement, il est possible de tirer un premier bilan de l’épidémie de Covid-19 et de son impact sur un système de santé qui, malgré ses qualités indéniables, était en difficulté depuis quelques années.

Facebook has removed several pages promoting protests against state quarantine orders designed to slow the spread of coronavirus.

The social media giant acknowledged removing the posts promoting protests in California, New Jersey and Nebraska which violated measures taken by governors to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Republicans have spent decades making it more difficult for core Democratic constituencies to vote by implementing things like voter ID, “exact-match” signature requirements, voter purges, poll closures, and other election rules that voting-rights groups say disenfranchise millions of Americans every year.

Now, their efforts are facing a much tougher test than a Supreme Court that usually lets them have their way: a pandemic that highlights the need for making voting easier.

The Wall Street Journal‘s Deepa Seetharaman wants us to know that while poor billionaire Bill Gates has ‘long been a target for online trolls,’ that ‘the social-media attacks have intensified’ as the Micrrosoft co-founder and World Health Organization (WHO) benefactor has become the left’s de-facto coronavirus czar.

Seetharaman suggests that the attacks have increased due to Gates’s angry criticism towards President Trump, who halted funding to the WHO due to the organization’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its allegiance to China.
