Maintaining peace and conserving biodiversity (click here) hinge on an international system of cooperation codified in institutions, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine brings recent progress to a crossroads. Against this backdrop, we address some implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for the governance of biodiversity conservation both within and beyond Russia. The Russian invasion of Ukraine threatens the governance system for biodiversity conservation, as it pertains to Russia and beyond, due to three interacting factors: (i) isolation of Russia from the international system, (ii) halt and delay of international cooperation, and (iii) changes in international and domestic policy priorities. We recommend making the existing international system of governance for conserving biodiversity more resilient and adaptable, while aligning security agendas with biodiversity conservation goals....

Russia was the final signator to the Kyoto Protocols in 2004. It did so because of huge forests. Putin was the endangered tiger's best friend. All through the concern for the climate and endangered species Russia has conducted nuclear experiments that have cost Russian scientists their lives.

Moscow - Russia’s top nuclear official promised on Monday (click here) to succeed in developing new weapons as he paid tribute to five scientists killed in what U.S. experts suspect was the botched test of a new missile vaunted by President Vladimir Putin....

This is just one instance. To know the degree Russia plays with and practices with radiation just ask the Scandinavian countries how often their radiation monitors go off when Russia's accidents emissions in the air reach their sovereign borders. The idea Russia is causing problems with the natural world is a huge understatement. Russia has always caused problems with the natural world.

...Nearly 56,000 more people died (click here) nationwide this summer than in the same period last year, said a monthly Economic Development Ministry report on Russia’s economy.

“In connection with the unusual heat, forest fires and smoke, in July of this year 14,500 and in August 41,300 more people died than during the same period last year,” a section of the report on demographics said....

Russia has never been concerned with climate, except, where it was easy and convenient. So if conservationists are worried about that region of the world facing war and expansionism, there will be no mercy or concern for the climate crisis from Russia or China.

This is GM's commitment to future generations of Americans. The Biden White House needs to ask GM how we can make this happen faster.

• GM plans to be carbon neutralⁱ by 2040 in its global products and operations
• GM aspires to eliminate tailpipe emissions from new light-duty vehicles by 2035
• GM has committed to the Business Ambition Pledge for 1.5⁰C

Detroit - Today, GM announced that it plans to become carbon neutral in (click here) its global products and operations by 2040 and has committed to setting science-based targetsⁱⁱ to achieve carbon neutrality. The company has also signed the Business Ambition Pledge for 1.5⁰C, an urgent call to action from a global coalition of UN agencies, business and industry leaders.

“General Motors is joining governments and companies around the globe working to establish a safer, greener and better world,” said Mary Barra, GM Chairman and CEO. “We encourage others to follow suit and make a significant impact on our industry and on the economy as a whole.”

Berlin - The head of the United Nations (click here) called Monday for scientists to serve up “cold, hard facts” to push governments into making policies that curb climate change before a key global warming threshold is passed.

His comments came as experts and officials from around the world gathered for a week-long meeting in the Swiss Alpine town of Interlaken to finalize the last of seven reports issued by the global body’s panel of top scientists since the Paris climate accord was forged in 2015.

In a video address to delegates, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change “could not come at a more pivotal time.”

“Our world is at a crossroads — and our planet is in the crosshairs,” he said. “We are nearing the point of no return; of overshooting the internationally agreed limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) of global warming.”...

What about this doesn't the Biden White House understand? Voters, as well as the media, need to understand this is not a bargaining issue. There is NO LEEWAY OR WIGGLE ROOM, for anything except eliminating carbon based energy from the world order!

The petroleum industry has received record profits because the average American was exploited as Congress sees no need for regulation at all. The people of the USA are paying the price for petroleum profits with their Greenbacks, their property and their lives and this is the answer from the White House? "But, it was a really good deal."

There is no DEAL that is a good deal unless it eliminates carbon from any form of energy source.

With the profits petroleum has made on the backs of Americans, there is no need for any type of rescue plan as they are no longer needed. The American people already paid them their future earnings!
