Though 1.5 degrees of warming would be horrible enough, every fraction of a degree we go beyond that would mean greater human suffering and environmental destruction. We should feel some optimism that the barriers to addressing it are no longer technological but almost entirely political - and because the worst-case temperature-rise scenarios scientists once feared are no longer considered very likely thanks to the growth in renewable energy, electric vehicles and other zero-emission technology.

OTTAWA, March 24 (Reuters) - The United States and Canada pledged to work together on several issues, including migration, defense and security, the two countries said on Friday after a meeting between U.S.
President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

It may be many more years before we fully reckon the effects of the catastrophe unleashed two decades ago. Yet the low turnout underscored that others have given up on democracy, thanks to those who boasted that they were bringing it to justify their war. More than half of Iraqis are too young to remember life under Saddam Hussein. Some now aspire to a society and government that looks beyond sectarianism and towards a brighter future, as the 2019 Tishreen movement, and the re-emergence of participants in 2021´s elections, showed.

We can expect to overshoot that within about a decade unless we immediately switch to renewable energy and slash planet-warming pollution in half by 2030. More than a century of burning coal, oil and gas is catching up with us, and there´s little time to change course. The report, released Monday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, warns that the planet is on track to blow past 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming, a critical threshold virtually every nation on Earth agreed to work to avoid.

The 'Be All You Can Be' slogan dominated its recruiting ads for two decades starting in 1981. A nearly two-minute preview video, made available before the campaign rollout in early March, featured soldiers jumping out of airplanes, working on helicopters, climbing obstacle courses and diving underwater.

WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters) - Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Thursday the United States was looking at ways to strengthen its sanctions against Iran, but acknowledged the sanctions had not resulted in the behavioral or policy changes Washington desires from Tehran.

After a decade of operating in near-obscurity, lies about ERIC began bubbling up from the fever swamps, such as that George Soros was behind the project and that the initiative is a left-wing plot to add more racial minorities to the voter rolls.

It hastened the end of the brief unipolar moment and undercut visions of a rules-based global order. supremacy in the wake of the September 11 attacks only weakened and undermined the country - all the more so after the horrors of Abu Ghraib and wider brutality against civilians. The invasion curtailed hopes of stabilising Afghanistan, by drawing away attention, resources and troops. A military adventure conceived by many of its players as a brash reassertion of U.S. It reinforced North Korea´s conviction that it was essential to acquire and defend WMDs. So did the global south, hindering efforts to garner support for Ukraine. Russia and China took note. It strengthened and emboldened Iran. It was hardly the first time America´s foreign policy had clashed with its declared ideals, but it had not been so public and inescapable since Vietnam. The refugee flows produced by regional instability, along with IS-led or -inspired attacks in Europe, contributed to growing ethno-nationalism and fueled support for Brexit. Liberal interventionism was badly discredited.

troops are still present due to the ongoing battle against IS. Though there is now a government, following a year of deadlock after elections and an outburst of violence in Baghdad, the state remains unable to keep the lights on or provide clean water. Politicians and officials have pocketed billions. Iraq currently appears relatively calm.

Canada and the United States also acknowledged "the serious long-term challenge to the international order posed by the People's Republic of China, including disruptive actions such as economic coercion, non-market policies and practices, and human rights abuses," the two countries said in a joint statement.

"They should have stopped them months ago," said Anat Admati, a finance professor at Stanford University. "That´s my problem with the Fed: If they were honest, they would admit their own mistakes." The Federal Reserve´s role as the lead agency in responding to this crisis has obscured its failures as the agency that was responsible for supervising the bank in the first place. In the case of Silicon Valley Bank, regulators failed to do that job.
