For Women Artists. Time is running out to stop a Global Climate disaster and temperatures rising even further, according to a new report from the United Nations. The Un Environment Agency says, over the next decade, global emissions need to fall by more than 7 every year to have any chance of avoiding warming the planet by more than 1. 5 celsius. Even the current rise in temperatures is having an effect, as droughts become more common all over the world. Australia has seen one of its longest dry spells.

The president elect joe biden campaigned on getting the coronavirus under control. Now we see him taking the first steps to do so. He chose ron clain. He was the obama ebolazaar. The president elect is trying to be ready on day one, but there is only so much that he can do. The current government has not yet certified his election victory. That limits his resources. Meanwhile the president has not been to a Coronavirus Task force briefing in months and is spending his time complaining about fox news. This time it is corey lewindowsky.
