Biden, Harris speak at climate summit on Earth Day
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris opened Earth Day s climate summit, with an ambitious pledge to cut by at least one-half the climate-wrecking coal and petroleum fumes that America is pumping out.
Despite commitments to lower carbon emissions from governments around the world, including the U.S., climate change will worsen, according to a new report.
Climate Action Tracker, a network of scientists, published its findings last week saying that countries will not be able to keep the global temperatures from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2100, a threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

If you re a girl group from the 90s and you ve just reunited there is no better way to tell the world you re back than covering the most iconic girl group song of the 90s. At least Girls5eva hope so. The fake Clinton-era band consisting of Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps and Paula Pell dropped in to
The Tonight Show on Wednesday night (May 5) to join Jimmy Fallon and The Roots for a run through the Spice Girls 1996 breakthrough smash Wannabe.
I painted almost every room of my house a shade of grey almost 10 years ago, and I wrote about it. Grey has been my go-to neutral because of its versatility; like a pair of grey pants, it goes with everything. But greyters call the colour depressing, dull and too safe. Gillian Gillies, a Toronto-based, Scottish-born interior designer who has never embraced grey, says she hopes the pandemic has ended the colour s run as the in neutral.

A guest bedroom, painted with a ubiquitous shade of grey. We need hope, joy and the promise of brighter things, and I don t think grey can offer us that. She says her clients, who at one time were clamouring for grey, are suddenly requesting highly pigmented, saturated colours, such as aubergine, saffron yellow, and all shades of green.

As always for this bit, the performers appeared in individual
Brady Bunch-style squares, while the classroom instrument orchestra ranged from classics like a toy piano, shakers, and cowbell to bucket drums, large tubes for more percussion, and even paper lunch bags that were ripped up for additional texture. Bieber and Fallon shared lead vocal duties, while others in the Roots provided harmonies on the bridge, “I left my girl, I’m in my Mallorca/Hate to leave her, call it torture/Remember when I couldn’t hold her/Left the baggage for Rimowa.”

WASHINGTON (AP) The leaders of Russia and China put aside their raw-worded disputes with U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday long enough to pledge international cooperation on cutting climate-wrecking coal and petroleum emissions in a livestreamed summit showcasing America’s return to the fight against global warming.
Neither Vladimir Putin nor Xi Jinping immediately followed the United States and some of its developed allies in making specific new pledges to reduce damaging fossil fuel pollution during the first day of the two-day U.S.-hosted summit. But climate advocates hoped the high-profile if glitch-ridden virtual gathering would kickstart new action by major polluters, paving the way for a November U.N. meeting in Glasgow critical to drastically slowing climate change over the coming decade.
