How pandemic lockdowns cleaned the air but resulted in a warmer planet

Earth spiked a bit of a fever in 2020, partly because of cleaner air from pandemic lockdowns, a new study has found.

For a short time, temperatures in some places in the eastern United States, Russia and China were as much as 0.3 to 0.37 degrees Celsius warmer. That’s due to less soot and sulfate particles from car exhaust and burning coal, which normally cool the atmosphere temporarily by reflecting the sun’s heat, Tuesday’s study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters reported.

Canada the only G7 country to take vaccines from fund for developing countries

Canada is the only G7 country to draw on a supply of COVID-19 vaccines meant primarily for developing countries, according to new data released Wednesday.

The COVAX program, co-ordinated by the World Health Organization and Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, pools funds from wealthier countries to buy vaccines for themselves and for 92 low- and middle-income nations that can’t afford to buy on their own.

Information released Wednesday by Gavi shows Canada is among just a few rich countries exercising their options to buy vaccines from the international group. The vast majority of countries receiving the first vaccine shipments from COVAX are low- and middle-income countries.

Canada’s vaccine-procurement efforts have been shrouded in unjustified secrecy

Canada’s vaccine-procurement efforts have been shrouded in unjustified secrecy

Despite the enthusiasm Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to bring to his announcement Tuesday, when he said that Canada had struck a deal to manufacture millions of COVID-19 vaccines at home, the agreement won’t do much to get us out of the acute phase of this pandemic.

That’s because the deal with Novavax to churn out its vaccine at Canada’s National Research Council (NRC) in Montreal is contingent on the completion of a new production centre, which won’t be finished until summer or early fall.

Tucker Carlson slams NYU’s ‘farcical’ study saying claims of conservative ‘censorship’ on social media are ‘disinformation’

In their report, the authors stated that claims of anti-conservative bias are ‘a form of disinformation: a falsehood with no reliable evidence to support it.’

Alarming: Democrats Introduce Bill Calling For Mandatory License For All Guns, Universal Gun Database, Banning Ownership Of Guns By Anyone Younger Than 21

The law also bans anyone from owning a firearm if they have “conduct that endangers self or others,” without explaining what such conduct entails*. This could potentially mean universally banning weapons ownership to someone who is a member of a political party if the government deems that political party to be a terrorist group, whether this is true or not.

Biden will streamline the naturalization of NINE MILLION migrants in series of executive orders today as he reverses Trump’s policies

Among the most high-profile moves will be starting the process to end a ‘public charge’ rule put in place which let immigration authorities deny green cards to immigrants who were ‘public charges’ because they were on benefits such as foodstamps, Medicaid or Section 8 housing.

The orders will also call for his administration to streamline the naturalization of nine million migrants, senior officials said, signaling a return to a more inclusive policy.
