President Joe Biden accused platforms, like Facebook, of “killing people” with Covid misinformation.

They’re killing people — I mean they’re really, look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated

Biden says platforms like Facebook are ‘killing people’ with Covid misinformation

The Surgeon General publically called health misinformation “a serious threat to public health” and called out Facebook for not doing enough to stop covid misinformation.

A Facebook spokesperson told CNN that more than two billion people have viewed “authoritative information” about Covid-19 and vaccines on Facebook.

A Facebook official has anonymously said that the Surgeon General has privately praised Facebook’s work to stop the spread of “misinformation”.

The Keystone XL pipeline project has been terminated. The Canadian pipeline company that had planned to carry oil from Canadian tar sands to Nebraska announced last week that it had terminated the project.

Environmental activists have long warned about the impact the Keystone pipeline would have on the environment.

In 2015 former President Obama announced he would reject the construction permit for the pipeline. In 2017, immediately after inauguration former President Trump signed an executive order to undo Obama’s decision.

In 2018, after portions of the pipeline, had already been built, a federal judge blocked any further construction stating that the Trump administration did not perform adequate environmental reviews before making its decision.

On the day of his inauguration President Biden rescinded the construction permit for the pipeline. On the same day TC energy, the company responsible for the pipeline, said it would be suspending work on the pipeline.

Environmental activists cheered the move and used the moment to urge Mr. Biden to rescind the Trump-era permits granted to another pipeline, the Enbridge Line 3, which would carry Canadian oil across Minnesota. Hundreds of protesters were arrested earlier this week in protests against that project.

The Keystone XL pipeline project has been terminated.

Former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb has said he believes it’s time to do away with outdoor mask mandates at this time. “People could choose to wear a mask if they want to. I think there shouldn’t be requirements that they have to wear masks outdoors,” said Gottlieb on Monday. Gottlieb currently serves on the board of Pfizer.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has agreed with Gottlieb’s statements, saying “What I believe… the country is going to be hearing soon if updated guidelines from the CDC”. President Biden is expected to announce new CDC guidelines as early as this week. The CDC currently says the following about masks outdoors:

Masks may not be necessary when you are outside by yourself away from others, or with people who live in your household. However, some areas may have mask mandates while out in public, so please check the rules in your local area (such as in your city, county, or state). Additionally, check whether any

Current coronavirus infection rates are down 14% from one week ago. The risk of transmitting coronavirus outdoors is extremely low. Additionally, vitamin D has been shown to help prevent the coronavirus, so the more fresh air we can all get, the better.

After President Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement four years ago, 24 states and one territory agreed to follow through with the Paris Agreement, forming the U.S Climate Alliance.

The U.S Climate Alliance has vowed to collectively cut emissions by 26 to 28 percent compared to 2005 levels, by the year 2025.

Despite the promises, and plans to electrify cars, and trucks, add more wind turbines, and reduce the number of pollutants in the air, the majority of the states are behind on their goals.

Some say the states are doing the best they can given policies put in place by the Trump Administration. People are hoping that with the Biden Administration in place, federal and state governments will be able to work together to combat the climate crisis. President Biden has rejoined the Paris Agreement since taking office.

The alliance also notes that its member states have performed well in comparison to the states that didn’t commit to staying in the Paris Agreement. Between 2005 and 2018, states in the alliance cut their CO2 emissions by 14 percent; the other 26 states saw emissions fall by roughly 8 percent. These non-member states — which include oil-rich Texas, West Virginia, and Idaho — account for 60 percent of the country’s CO2 emissions. If they stay on their current course, their emissions could end up increasing over the next five to 10 years, according to a U.S. Climate Alliance report.

Climate change is one of the most pressing matters of today. The health of our planet and our own health are intertwined.

Earlier this month Dr. Anthony Fauci said it was likely that some businesses and institutions will require employees to be vaccinated. He also said it’s “quite possible” the vaccine will be required for international travel.

While Dr. Fauci does not believe a national vaccine mandate will be put in place, he does think it’s possible that local level mandates will be put in place.

There are already many vaccines required at state or local levels. The Covid-19 vaccine is still an experimental vaccine that has only been authorized for emergency use. Moderna and Pfizer have not finished stage three clinical trials for the vaccines.

According to news reports, about half of all front-line workers in Riverside County, California, have refused the vaccine, as have 60% of nursing home staff in Ohio, 40% of staff at Chicago’s Loretto Hospital and 40% of LA’s front-line workers. Similar rates of vaccine refusal are being reported in several European countries.

Fauci Now Says COVID-19 Vaccine May Become Mandatory

As of late December, the risk of adverse reactions for the vaccine was 2.79%, compared to the mortality rate of covid-19, which is around 0.26% for noninstitutionalized individuals, and an even smaller rate of mortality under the age of 40, 0.01%.

Many members of the Paris Climate Agreement have made pledges to reach zero emissions by the year 2060 in order to be on track to limit warming to 2.1 degrees C by 2100. Japan, South Korea, and China are all among countries promising to reach zero emissions by 2060.

The U.S is not currently part of the Paris Climate agreement but president-elect Joe Biden has plans to rejoin. Additionally, the Biden administration has rolled out plans for the promise of being net-zero by 2050.

Unfortunately, many countries are already behind schedule for their emissions promises. Many countries have plans to increase fossil fuel production by two percent annually.

That being said, a new study by Princeton University presents many different paths for the U.S to get to net emissions by 2050. The U.S has serious work to do before it reaches its 2050 zero-emissions goal.

One such path requires an investment in solar and wind manufacturing, which offers long-term domestic employment opportunities without incurring too many additional technology costs. The caveat? Manufacturing capacity for turbines and photovoltaics would have to increase drastically by 2050 — up to 45 times for wind and 120 times for solar.

Yes, the U.S. can go carbon neutral by 2050, says new Princeton study

The health of our environment and our own health are very intertwined. Sustainable, organic, whole foods do good for our environment whereas overly processed junk food leaves behind a significant carbon footprint, in most cases. One of the best things you can do for the environment is to take care of yourself in a sustainable way.
