							<![CDATA[Russia&#8217;s dictator Vladimir Putin has seemingly just had jailed opposition leader Aleksei Navalny assassinated. Navalny incarnated the best chance for democracy and human rights in Russia. He was a beacon of hope; a bright light in the darkness of corruption and violence that characterizes Putin&#8217;s Russia. His death is a tragedy that demands robust responses from world leaders – especially from the E.U. and from U.S. President Joe Biden, who had long warned that Putin would face devastating consequences if Navalny were to die in prison. The new U.S. sanctions announced Friday, targeting hundreds of entities and individuals, are a sign that his administration will live up to its word – but they could go further in key areas. We propose a response that would simultaneously teach Putin a clear and painful lesson, and help save the planet from climate change. The U.S. should immediately bar Russian timber, pulp &amp; paper imports, as the E.U. and U.K. have already done. Amur tigers are among the creatures found in Russia&#8217;s taiga forest habitat. Image courtesy of WCS Russia &amp; Sikhote-Alin Reserve. Why is this crucial? Because timber represents more than half of all remaining U.S. imports of Russian goods, in terms of number of shipments. All of Russia’s forests are state-owned, with dues from logging flowing to it. Some forests are even under control of Russia’s military, which is also allowed to log and sell timber in its forests. Since the war began, U.S. Customs data show the nation has imported close to&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2024/02/bidens-new-sanctions-on-russia-should-include-timber-exports-commentary/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[To date, nineteen nations have hit or matched record high temperatures this year, according to Jeff Master&#8217;s Wunder Blog, making 2010 the only year to have so many national records. In contrast, no nation this year has hit a record cold temperature. Over the past decade, which was the warmest on record, 75 nations have seen record highs, whereas 15 have seen record lows. Nations hitting record highs this year are the Ascension Islands, the Solomon Islands, Finland, Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Colombia, Zambia, Cyprus, Myanmar, Chad, Niger, Sudan, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Pakistan, and most recently Bolivia. If Palestine were nation, the year&#8217;s total would be twenty, since it hit an all-time high of 51.4°C (124.5°F). This year is looking to be among the warmest yet recorded since data keeping began in the lat 19th Century. While the first half of the year was unusually warm worldwide, an expected La Nina phenomenon has recently brought cooler-than-average temperatures to much of the Northern Hemisphere. Climate experts overwhelmingly conclude that the world is warming due to extensive greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

							<![CDATA[Asian continent sees warmest temperature ever recorded. The summer isn&#8217;t over yet, but already seventeen nations have matched or beaten their all-time heat records. According to Jeff Masters&#8217; WunderBlog, Belarus, the Ukraine, Cyprus, Russia, Finland, Qatar, the Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Niger, Chad, Kuwait, Iraq, Pakistan, Colombia, Myanmar, Ascension Island, and the Solomon Islands have all equaled or broken their top temperature records this year. In addition, the hottest temperature ever recorded in Asia was taken in Pakistan at 128 degrees Fahrenheit (53 degrees Celsius); this incredible temperature still has to be reviewed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Russia is currently undergoing a heat crisis with drought, forest and peatland fires, and dangerous temperatures threatening Moscow and parts of Central Russia. Thousands of people are thought to have died due to heat-related issues and Russia has halted wheat exports after the crop was devastated, aggravating fears of a global food crisis. The head of Russia&#8217;s weather service, Alexander Frolov, has said that Russia hasn&#8217;t seen such a heat wave in 1,000 years. While 17 nations have hit their highest ever temperatures in the last seven months, only one has recorded its lowest: Guinea in January recorded an all-time low. Climate experts overwhelmingly say that the world is warming due to extensive greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. The last six months have been the hottest on record worldwide since data-taking began in the 1880s, while the past decade (from 2000-2009) was the warmest decade on record.
