The unilateral approach of U.S. president Obama to climate change in the Paris talks compared to the conditional approach adopted by the European Union
12/22/2015
Benny Peiser of a climate change think tank in London points out that the Europeans are taking an approach that is not binding compared to the approach of president Obama. He says Europe, especially Eastern European countries are mindful of the point that if Europe were to adopt binding targets without India, China, and other big polluters doing the same, Europe would risk its industrial base, export jobs, and still be exposed to high levels of industrial pollution. Within Europe there are sharp differences between western and eastern Europe.

The New York Times 12/07/2016
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.
