Climate Council
Biden Administration to Pressure Climate Laggards Like Australia
US President Joe Biden says he will not accept half measures when it comes to climate action, a message the Morrison government should heed.
“President Biden will re-sign the Paris Agreement on his first day in the White House because climate is a top priority for the administration. We can expect to see a 180 degree turn in America’s approach,” said the Climate Council’s CEO Amanda McKenzie.
“The election of Joe Biden is very significant for Australia. We no longer have a climate-denying administration in the US to hide behind in international negotiations. The Australian government is now in a shrinking pool of climate wreckers, in the company of Brazil, Russia and Saudi Arabia,” said Ms McKenzie.
WATERLOO Cheating and other academic misconduct is on the rise at universities and colleges as students shift to online learning during the pandemic. My friends have told me a couple of stories about people they know who have cheated, said University of Waterloo student Matthew Mure. Some students said cheating is easier when they re not in a physical classroom. Take turns taking exams if there are different times or be on a call together, Mure said. UW s Office of Academic Integrity said COVID-19 has been a contributing factor when it comes to students breaking the rules. The stress of the pandemic has really exacerbated the pressure that s put on students, so it s led to the increase of academic misconduct, Amanda McKenzie with the office said.
