As president Biden signs the biggest Climate Bill in history Jim Tankersley says there is still more to be done. In addition to the work remaining for children, women and families, he mentions the Civilian Climate Corps with financing for $10 billion that is patterned on the Civilian Conservation Corps set up during the Depression by FDR, which is still to be passed. This would form "the next generation of conservation and resilience workers," says Biden. Much like the 3 million people who helped build parks, cut trails and planted trees around the US in the 1930's and 1940's under FDR.

The Guardian points out in this editorial that giving subsidies for 2 pound bus fares is money well spent as it both helps people during a cost of living crisis and helps reduce carbon emissions. Germany has done exactly that for its Deutsche Bahn rail transportation system across the country with its discounted plan for travel in the summer that was later extended.

The U-2 plane of the US Air Force flies at 70,000 feet. It is in service for 70 years and was last made in 1989. The U-2 Dragon Lady was used to track the Chinese spy balloon at altitudes not reached by conventional airplanes. The USAF has a fleet of 31 U-2 planes. The U-2 made by Lockheed first flew in 1955 with flights over the Soviet Union. 2 U-2 planes flew around the Chinese spy balloon with sensors that enable it to examine the balloon and jam its electronic signals.

What flying will be like in the summer of 2008. A lot of congestion on planes and higher fares. For example in New York even with caps on flights at peak hours departures are higher by 2% or average of 28 flights per day. Caps apply between 4pm and 8pm but flights are squeezed in before and after. Any storm delays woul cram the system. Security pass through times may be better as the TSA is sending all of its screeners for 12 hours of retraining this year and TSA is installing new equipment. Fares in first 2 months up 5.7% according to Air Transport Association. Farecost.com estimates higher transatlantic fares by 10% this year because of higher fuel surcharges.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
