Is the United States will succeed in reducing climate change?

Us and climate change


Climate change, is an inescapable reality In the spring of 1933, the new President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was facing a stifling environmental and economic crisis, as the Ohio and Mississippi River basins were completely submerged,and more than a, 
.quarter of Americans were out of work.

 Roosevelt's response to these clashing forces, plaguing the United States, was to create a Civilian Protection Corps, that would put young men (and men only), to work in soil conservation, building streets and roads, and fighting fires. 
The establishment of this civil legion, we are killing two birds with one stone,” where he meant here the first bird, is to protect the environment, and combat the catastrophic effects of climate change (global warming), and the second is to employ Americans and eliminate unemployment. 
 The American landscape today, is very similar to that bequeathed, by Roosevelt, as lockdowns imposed to stem the spread of COVID-19 caused the worst economic recession in the United States, indeed the world, as torrential rains engulfed the Midwest this spring, and above-average hurricane season could To do the same in the East Coast soon, as most of the West, is in a historical drought, and large parts of the region are on fire, because of climate change that is ravaging the world. 
 In light of these sobering realities of climate change, President 'Joe Biden' proposed revitalizing the New Deal era program, which aims to mobilize an army of workers, to preserve nature and combat the climate change crisis. 
“This $10 billion investment will put a new and diverse generation of Americans to work,“ he said. 
in preserving our public lands and waters, enhancing community resilience, and promoting environmental, justice through a new Civilian Climate Corps, all while making well-paid union jobs more accessible to more Americans.” Now, some lawmakers are trying to make that vision a reality, not a dream.
 Last April, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, both Democrats, introduced a new bill that fills in some of the details of Biden's ambitious idea on climate change. 
Dubbed the Civil Climate Corps for Jobs and Justice, the bill will put 1.5 million Americans to work building climate-resilient infrastructure, reducing carbon emissions through renewable energy and conservation projects, and helping communities recover from climate disasters. 
This bill would give corps members many of the items on the Democrats' "social infrastructure" wish list, including a $15 an hour salary, full health care, and childcare services. trade unionism.
 "It is now the turn of this generation to answer the call and face the historic challenges of our time," Markey said. "We don't have time, we don't have time to be complacent about climate change. 
This moment demands big, bold, progressive change. This is our Roosevelt moment." 
 Will we witness vigorous practical steps to reduce climate change by the United States government? This is what we will know in the near futur

Principles of international humanitarian law the third and fourth principles The principle of distinguishing between military objectives and civilian objectives With the development of weapons of all kinds, especially the so-called smart ones, it has become possible, to strike the opponent everywhere, and at any time outside the scope of military actions, and thus the possibility of not being exposed, to the areas where civilians are present, and therefore civilians must be protected from the mistakes, and damages of war, through the establishment of controls, and restrictions To distinguish between civilian and military objectives, and to preserve human freedoms, and protect his property in times of peace, and war alike.

Will climate change cause the Amazon rainforest to turn into a savannah?

Forest fires and climate change Will climate change cause the Amazon rainforest to turn into a savannah?  The Amazon rainforest is well humid, but researchers around the world are increasingly asking how long this will be true.  About three decades ago, alarming research began to suggest that the cumulative effects of both deforestation and climate change could cause significant changes in the South American forest, with the forest expected to become drier and more savanna-like than Africa. Instead of lush, wet and dense landscapes. For nearly two centuries, the Amazon region has acted as a natural buffer protecting our world by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen needed for life, as these forests absorb up to two billion tons of greenhouse emissions annually, but during the past few decades unfortunately, The clearing of trees from the Amazon for the purpose of growing soybeans for livestock or animal pastures has exacerbated the drought in the region, with studies already c
