Awards are valued, but, her dedication is noted in her reference to the activists that bring attention to the emergency.

The Goldene Kamera ("Golden Camera") is an annual German film and television award, awarded by the Funke Mediengruppe. The award show is usually held in early February in Hamburg, but has also taken place in Berlin in the past. The gold-plated silver award model was created by Berlin artist Wolfram Beck. It is 25 cm (9.8 in) high and weighs around 900 grams (2.0 lb).

To understand the degree Greta Thunberg is accepted as authority for her generation, the view of the full speech might be helpful.

She is correct, her childhood has been taken from her in order for her to beg for her life on Earth. In this entire speech at the European Parliament begins at time stamp, 22:05.

She, no different than Malala, never made career choices. They accept the burden to be their generational voice.

The difference between Greta Thunberg and CEOs that make nice speeches is that she actually lives the promise.

Teen climate sensation Greta Thunberg (click here) has made it to New York City after her 15-day voyage by yacht from Plymouth, England.

After disembarking to a cheering crowd in lower Manhattan, Thunberg opened a press conference saying, “Well all of this is overwhelming.”

“The trip was surprisingly good. I did not feel sea sick once,” Thunberg said.

Thunberg made the trip across the Atlantic to attend a United Nations climate summit taking place in September — and she did it without leaving a carbon footprint. She traveled aboard the Malizia II, which has its own solar panels and hydro-generators to power the yacht. (Her journey did spark some criticism for the emissions associated with it because others will fly to New York to bring the yacht back to Europe, although those flights will reportedly be offset.)...

China State Media: 'Military Showdown Will Come' if Taiwan, U.S. Don't Change Course

The communists in general want to destroy The West. It is The West that has maintained the peace to date, not the communists. Once China starts, Russia and North Korea will begin their war taunts with threats of nuclear war. See, the only thing that really works for the communists is nuclear war. They have a problem with ground and conventional warfare. They lose. It has to do with the way people are groomed in a country where land ownership is sparce. 

The communists always think they have equal if not superior methods of being a society. There are a lot of differences between democracy and communism. It shows up in the military. Their military do the job for the motherland, but, it isn't the same as the way soldiers of a democracy grow into their dedication. Love of country is not forced in the USA. There are choices and our political system even allows communists to run for office. But, people of the free world, like half of Russian people below the age of 40, innately know they have a good thing going for them started by a bunch of guys fed up with taxes.

The fact is that Russia is only a fraction of the former Soviet Union and it hasn't been a country as long as the USA has and the USA hasn't been a country as long as the European countries. Russia began its communist government with the Russia Revolution. It is a shame it has a dictratorship now.

But, China has a lot invested in being the supreme world power. It is myth. They can't get stuff right without spying on the USA. I have to wonder how much of the information they stole from us was planted for the purpose of defeating them? Oh, well.

To realize how completely moronic the communists are, rather than embracing the governments of Hong Kong and Tiawan, they feel they have to destroy any hint of democracy. Hong Kong and Tiawan were developed into the success stories they are because of democracy and free trade. While China allows capitalism, the official government doesn't embrace it. Communism is about working for the collective. Capitalism is about working for profit and while Jack Ma is viewed by The West as a successful businessman, that is because he is tolerated by China as an icon, but, in no way is viewed as desireable entity that would be better than communism. The Chinese government thinks little of flexing it's muscles to rein in wealthy Chinese. That is why they want to emigrate to The West. Same with wealthy Russians. They live in Europe afraid of Putin and his novichok.

It is interesting. The communists raise their people to hate The West, yet as soon as they have enough laundered USA dollars they head for the border. Hm. And yet, the corrupt elections continue and Putin is still dicatator. The Russian Revolution simply remained the Czar, that's all. Antoher thing about communists, Russians actually want their elections to work. They sincerely believe they can have democratic elections. Now, wouldn't you think the leaders of the communist countries would understand by now they are basically rejected by the masses of every other country including their own.

They need to get a clue before they decide to nuke the entire western world.

As tensions persist between the U.S. and China over the future of Taiwan, (click here) Chinese state media has warned a "military showdown will come" and described the possible scenario as "a life-and-death struggle" between the nations.

The Global Times, which is published by the ruling Chinese Communist Party, shared the opinion article on Friday after U.S. military officials have increasingly warned about China's threat to Taiwan's autonomy. The editorial highlighted remarks from U.S. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro, who expressed concern this past week about the "rapid expansion" of China's navy.

Taiwan, an island nation, is claimed by China under its "one country, two systems" constitutional principle. However, the democratically-run East Asian country has operated with autonomy and the support of the U.S. for decades. In recent years, analysts have increasingly warned that Beijing could move militarily to take control of the island by force....

Leave it to China to come up with an electronic war jet, as if The West hasn't figured it out. Stealth technology is rather interesting.

So, when is the USA completely moving Taiwan's computer chip operations to the USA?

The J-16D electronic warfare aircraft (click here) belonging to the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force has recently entered combat training, and it is expected to conduct seamless, accompanying operations with the J-20 stealth fighter jet in moves with the potential to generate tremendous combat efficiency, experts said on Saturday.

Shortly after its debut at Airshow China 2021 held in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province in late September and early October, the J-16D has been deployed in real combat-oriented drills, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Saturday, citing sources from the PLA Air Force.

Being deployed in real combat-oriented drills means the J-16D has begun to form a combat capability after the PLA Air Force gains familiarity with the new aircraft, a Chinese military expert told the Global Times on Saturday, requesting anonymity.

It will be ready for combat soon, if not already, the expert said.

Specialized in electronic warfare, the J-16D is the latest class of domestically developed J-16 fighter jet. It is expected to accompany other warplanes seamlessly and enhance the PLA Air Force's capabilities in carrying out missions under informatized situation by establishing a  complete aviation electronic warfare system....

I guess it is good to be validated, but, most Americans knew this when they voted. It was "in the air."

The real question is why didn't Republicans vote for inpeachment. Denial doesn't make it so?

An ex-White House official (click here) warned of a "nightmare scenario" if former President Donald Trump wins a second term, she told CNN, per Newsweek's reporting.

Alyssa Farah, who served as the White House's director of strategic communications and assistant to the president in 2020, told journalist CNN's Jake Tapper that Trump would "absolutely" impose some form of autocracy if re-elected in 2024.

She described her former boss as a "man who has challenged our institutions near to the breakin point," according to a clip from CNN'S "Trumping Democracy: An American Coup."Farah went on to say that Trump's second term would be "very different," and added that is what "scares" her the most.

"There were things that he wanted to do when he was in power the first time that was well beyond the scope of what the US president should be able to do, but oftentimes it was simply the motivation of hoping to win reelection that kept him from doing things," she said.

When pressed for an example of things the former president might do differently, Farah outlined her expectations to Tapper. "Whether it's weaponizing the justice department against political opponents, whether it's going after the free press, he would certainly be open to using the military for political reasons as well," she said.

Trump has not officially announced a run for 2024 but signaled that he will run when teasing a campaign slogan at an October rally in Iowa.

His former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, said last week that he would bet all of his money on Trump running for a second term.

Assassination drones.

"Go big or go home," in Texas.

There is no assembly bigger every year than New Years' Eve in New York City. Upto September 11, 2001 there were never any such incidents in Times Square. But, after September 11, 2001, New York City sought a method to protect the public while ending any attempts at terrorism. The New York Authorities came up with cages that people enter in order to remain safe and secure to bring in the new year.

Perhaps when Texas allows large crowds that don't respect human life and crowd the stage and cause asphixiation and now death, it is time to control the crowds. Travis Scott concerts are known for this level of danger. Evidently, most of the concerts cause crushing incidents whereby fans at the concerts are lifted onto stage to save their lives. Even then, there are issues with asphixiation.

Why are concert halls tolerating this level of inhumane activity in their venues? Sure the families are suing the concert after the fact, but, after the fact is a bit too late.

How did concerts become this deadly in the USA? This is unthinkable that even once incidence of asphixiation caused by crushing crowds is tolerated. This level of inhumane behavior is tolerated to reach this level of assault against innocent people.

This is the only concert I know of where the seats furtherest from the stage are more valuable than those in the front row.

Mourners began building a memorial (click here) to those lost at a Texas concert as authorities said they would watch video, interview witnesses and review concert protocols to determine how eight people died when fans suddenly surged toward the stage to watch rapper Travis Scott. Flowers and votive candles surrounded NRG Park in Houston Sunday as city officials said they were just starting to investigate how pandemonium started Friday evening at Astroworld, a sold-out, two-day event headlined by Scott. An estimated 50,000 people were in attendance. The dead ranged in age from 14 to 27, and 13 people were still hospitalized....

What next? Coded hatred.

A lot of troubling news this past week.

Such a powerful image (click here) - the Minister from Tuvalu in the South Pacific delivered his speech to #COP26  from the sea to illustrate the crisis they face with rising sea levels

It is not just small islands that are facing this devastating reality, it is a problem in the USA as well. Little Havana is the perfect place for Florida Dems to make their case known about the climate crisis and infrastructure dollars.

...Those roots, (click here) according to him, are in jeopardy as communities like Little Haiti (the English for Ti Ayiti) wither amid Miami's gentrification crisis and lack of infrastructure investment and affordable housing, all of which are getting worse because of climate change.

"We're sitting here at the cultural center right next to the Mache Ayisyen," he says. "We have concentrated our entire energy to make sure that we are here every day, that other people are here every day, because we are being erased."

"Every aspect of our lives today is affected by climate change," Clarkson says. "I don't care what the problem is. It traces back to it. That's what people don't understand. They see it as something that is separate, but it is not."

South Florida faces an existential crisis from global warming unlike that of almost any other place in the United States. Its geology is uniquely vulnerable to sea level rise, which is poised to inundate low-lying neighborhoods across the region. At the same time, climate change will dramatically amplify the social inequities—income disparity, lack of public transportation, and limited affordable housing—that have long plagued communities here.

The waters are rising in South Florida, and simply building a seawall isn't going to solve the climate crisis that's coming, or the socioeconomic one that's already here.

The City of Miami has published a draft of its Stormwater Master Plan; (click here) a $3.8 billion plan to be enacted over the next 40 years, seeking to mitigate the impact of rising sea levels on the city. The plan sets out a wide portfolio of measures, from stormwater pumps and sea walls to more novel approaches such as floating neighborhoods and streets converted into canals.

The report sets out both short and long-term strategies for the city’s defense from rising sea levels. Near-term resiliency measures, with a 20-to-50-year planning horizon, include both structural and non-structural actions, encompassing everything from infrastructure construction to reformed insurance models. The plan proposes an upgrade to building code strategies, including minimum structure finish-floor levels informed by predicted water surface levels, and a requirement for piled or stilted structures, both buildings and roadways, to consider future sea level rise....

Every Republican Governorship…

 …equates to control of elections through the Secretary of State and more voter suppression.

Wall Street always has been…

 …and will continue to be the obstruction to Zero Greenhouse Gas emissions. Wall Street and the Petroleum Industry have a symbiotic relationship. Wall Street uses petroleum money for liquidity. Petroleum on the global market provides CASH everyday. Petroleum should be removed from stock exchanges. It is not an investment. It is cash liquidity for investment banks, private equity and all those off shoring nightmares. It isn’t a stock. It doesn’t even act like a stock.

The wealth component of petroleum needs to end. It will rob every human being of their newly obtained wealth and return them to lower Middle Class or Poor. Wall Street has no use for any people that live subsistence lives. They will take back the progress made possible by Democrats. Wall Street has to be taxed to keep monies in the pipeline to sustain the new wealth of Americans. The new wealth in our economy needs to be protected. Americans need to resist buying anything, including housing and cars, that are falsely inflated. They will lose everything if they continue to throw good money at greed. It is greed driving prices, not real inflation.

Let me make this plain.

Youngkin is cutting taxes and replacing those taxes with Greehouse Gases. 

Just that simple. 

Youngkin is not cutting taxes because there is a surplus in the Virginia treasury. He is playing with the futures of all Americans and global community.

Youngkin is Carlyle?

He bought the Governorship. The voters may as well put the Saudi Crowned Prince in Virginia’s Executive Branch. Where were all the negative ads about Carlyle?

The Democrats never showed up. They never ran the campaign they should have.

https://www.carlyle.com/fund/carlyle-international-energy-partners

Youngkin is never going to put offshore wind turbines first, he will put offshore oil first. The environmental folks better get their act together and end exploration off Virginia’s coast.

The Democrats need to take climate to the polls. If McAuliffe made alternative energy the focus of his campaign, he would have won. You can shoot holes through Youngkin’s resume when comes to climate. All anyone had to do was disclose Youngkin’s interest in Big Oil and Gas and it would have been over. Say good-bye to clean and beautiful Virginia beaches.

Start making plans to Youngkin’s hidden agenda. 

The oil industry is going to lie, cheat and steal the future from young Americans. They will use every trick in the book. End this Governorship before it gets started.

Methane

It is right and best to end methane leaks globally. It is a potent greenhouse gas that is too dangerous to remove ignore.

Joe Manchin must go.

He uses old outdated rhetoric to prevent votes on climate to seemingly protect his wealthy cronies while the people complain about him. Now he is crying “hostile work environment.” Being a hypocrite that peers recognize and are angry with is not litigable. Give him a crying towel and tell him to resign.

Mayor de Blasio did want no one could…

 …he came to agreement regarding mandatory vaccines with unions representing 88,000 of 160,000 city workers.

Europe may need him to convince people there to mandatorily take the vaccine as there is a strong resurgence of Delta that medical scientists claim may cause a half million deaths.

Critical Race Theory is not taught in classrooms. This is a governance issue that addresses policy.

There is nothing here that should be taught in schools. Diversity is the implimentation to discourage and eventually eliminate CRT. Diversity is being okay with difference without eliminating one's own identity. Diversity is about inclusion not replacement.

Critical Race Theory, (click here) or CRT, is an academic and legal framework that denotes that systemic racism is part of American society — from education and housing to employment and healthcare. Critical Race Theory recognizes that racism is more than the result of individual bias and prejudice. It is embedded in laws, policies and institutions that uphold and reproduce racial inequalities. According to CRT, societal issues like Black Americans’ higher mortality rate, outsized exposure to police violence, the school-to-prison pipeline, denial of affordable housing, and the rates of the death of Black women in childbirth are not unrelated anomalies.

Assimilation is about eliminting diversity. Assimilation is far different than CRT and/or Diversity. Assimilation tells people they are not good enough the way they are and require massive changes such as changing one''s practices at holidays. Assimllation is when cultural differences are not tolerated to the point of violence. That is why racism is so dangerous and White Supremacists/Nationalists are wrong in every aspect of their culture. They use god as a method to justify aggression toward other races and religions. Elimination of culture is simply wrong.

One way of saying CRT is "I'm okay, your okay." It's pretty simple really. Applying CRT to policy is the right thing to do. Policy will provide diversity and not impose hardship on anyone. CRT is benevolent and not violent.
