Extinction!

 The world is fast moving with technology but world is itself shrinking due to pandemics. The people across countries struggling to get back to work and life. In last two years human race has faced the worst of its existence. The death rates and surging Covid19 cases , vaccination is the only hope to get back the life on track.

Well! What if fertility in men start dropping leading to its extinction as a possible next pandemic. Yes, it look like it, the changing life style, climate change , instability in world politics are adding fuels to bring down the world to its knee. I found that society is getting greedy, mean and impatient. China census tells us this, is the first stark picture to shows how badly the population growth in decades would be. A lower fertility is the results of China's social and economic development. 

The next major challenge world is going to face post Covid19 is low fertility thereby impact overall population growth.

Sooner rather later, world leaders need to act fast on climate change and good health care system otherwise we all could see many more pandemics in coming decades.

Soon you are going to see some Movies coming out narrating the story on this issues. Maybe it is an idea for new Web Series for Netflix or Amazon.

Narrative writing Climate Change Global warming Cause Effects and Measures to tackle it

 

 

Factors	Cause and Effect	Measures-Steps to be taken
Fossil Fuel	The number one goal? Limiting the use of fossil fuels such as oil, carbon and natural gas and replacing them with renewable and cleaner sources of energy, all while increasing energy efficiency. “We need to cut CO2 emissions almost in half (45%) by the end of the next decade	The latest report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) found that several of the most commonly used renewables, like solar, geothermal, bioenergy, hydropower and onshore wind, will be on par with or cheaper than fossil fuels by 2020. Some are already more cost-effective.
Fridges	Air condition and refrigerators emits HFC.	Scientist across the globe found that getting rid of HFCs(Hydro Fluoro Carbons) (chemicals used in fridges and air conditioning)  was the number-one most effective policy to reduce emissions.
Automobiles	Emissions of C02 by Cars are adding up to climate change globally	We should choose more efficient vehicles and, whenever possible, switch directly to electric vehicles Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Food /Meat Industry	The meat industry contributes to global warming in three major ways. Firstly, cows’ burping from processing food releases lots of methane, a greenhouse gas. Secondly, we feed them with other potential sources of food, like maize and soy, which makes for a very inefficient process. And finally, they also require lots of water, fertilisers that can release greenhouse gases, and plenty of land – some of which come from cleared forests, another source of carbon emissions.	By reducing your consumption of animal protein by half, you can cut your diet's carbon footprint by more than 40%

Half-mast (British, Canadian and Australian English) or half-staff (American English) refers to a flag flying below the summit of a ship mast, a pole on land, or a pole on a building. In many countries this is seen as a symbol of respect, mourning, distress, or, in some cases, a salute.

A flag that is at half mast has been brought down to a point halfway down the pole as an expression of sadness at someone's death:

Covid: Biden calls 500,000 death toll 'a grim milestone'

President Joe Biden addressed the nation as the US marks 500,000 deaths from Covid, the most for any country in the world.

"As a nation, we can't accept such a cruel fate. We have to resist becoming numb to the sorrow," he said.

The president and vice-president, and their spouses, then observed a moment of silence outside the White House during a candle-lighting ceremony.

More than 28.1 million Americans have been infected - another global record.

President Biden ordered all flags on federal property to be lowered to half mast for the next five days.

"We have so much capability, so many resources in this country... this was all preventable and should not have happened. And yet here we are," he told BBC News on Monday. "And I think we have to reflect on all the ways in which our response went wrong."

Capitol hill when stormed unleashing violence and destruction full story

On January 6, the most sacred symbol of American democracy was stormed by supporters of Donald Trump, unleashing violence and destruction.

As President Joe Biden takes charge, the Republican party is grappling with its political future.

Defeated, disgraced, and now twice-impeached, Donald Trump may be out of office, but the anger he unleashed continues to threaten and America is watching for his next move.

It is time to break the taboo or practice of referring WHITE and BLACK for that matter PINK

 I see a big problem when major giant tabloid refer with headlines stating WHITE supremacy and Black suppression. At one hand we suggest the whole idea of racism should be deemed void and shouldn't be given any place in public or social fabrication to demeanour the one section of the society. Time and again we just reflect how we see them still this point in time.

Since birth we try to practice to inculcate the idea of BLUE represent BOY and PINK represent GIRL. The society is still divided and we show the hypocrisy of such representation with expletive time and again. #BlackLivesMatter and #Capitolhill has shown us the way that extremist ideology and right wind mindset is going to be curse for democracy where one section of the society has been seen with high standard over other. It is time to break that taboo.

In recent times I could see some headlines which I feel we are trying to show our society with trouce attribution to repesent some unusal happened in modern world.

Sentence formulation Trump impreachment

 The US House of Representatives has impeached President Donald Trump for "incitement of insurrection" at last week's Capitol riot.

Ten Republicans sided with Democrats to impeach the president by 232-197.

He is the first president in US history to be impeached twice, or charged with crimes by Congress.

Mr Trump, a Republican, will now face a trial in the Senate, where if convicted he could face being barred from ever holding office again.

But he will not have to quit the White House before his term ends in one week because the Senate will not reconvene in time.

Mr Trump leaves office on 20 January, following his election defeat last November to Democrat Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced more arrests. Seven people accused of playing a role in the Capitol riot have been charged with rioting, looting and trespassing among other charges.

Conjunction Words used while reporting Donald Trump Impeachment

 That's all from us today.

President Donald Trump has become the first president in US history to be impeached twice.

This time around, the president was charged with inciting the riot at the US Capitol last week, which left five people dead.

Ten Republicans in the House of Representatives broke party ranks and voted to impeach Trump. It's a marked change from 2019's proceedings when no Republicans voted to impeach.

Shortly after the vote, Trump released a video statement condemning last week's violence, but did not mention impeachment.

Trump will now face trial in the Senate. This won't happen until after Democrat Joe Biden takes office next week on 20 January.

Phrasal Verb Run-Up and Step Up

The FBI is warning of the possibility of armed protests being held across the US in the days before Joe Biden is sworn in as president.

There are reports of armed groups planning to gather at all 50 state capitols and in Washington DC in the run-up to his 20 January inauguration.

The fears come as security plans are hardened for the event itself.

On Monday, Mr Biden told reporters he was not afraid to take the oath of office outside of the US Capitol.

Security has been stepped up at the US Capitol following deadly violence last week

Officials say up to 15,000 National Guard troops could be made available to fortify the event.

The announcement came after Washington DC's Mayor, Ms Bowser, went public with her appeal to bolster security after what she described as an "unprecedented terrorist attack" at the US Capitol last week.

unprecedented

[ʌnˈprɛsɪdɛntɪd]

ADJECTIVE

1. never done or known before.

Vocabulary Apalling Reprehensible and Antithetical

 In a short press briefing that ran less than two minutes, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany condemned the armed insurrection at the US Capitol "in the strongest possible terms".

Speaking "on behalf of the entire White House", she called the violence "appalling, reprehensible and antithetical to the American way".

McEnany left the briefing room without taking any questions.

President Trump has not been seen in public today and his social media accounts remain suspended.

Washington DC's top prosecutor has not ruled out the possibility that the president himself could be investigated over the Capitol riot.

The president had urged his supporters at a rally outside the White House to march on Congress, while pushing unfounded claims of electoral fraud. As events spiralled out of control, he tweeted urging them to "remain peaceful".

Today, the Senate's top Democrat joined voices calling for Trump's presidential powers to be removed immediately after his supporters violently stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday.

Under the 25th Amendment, the vice-president can become acting president when a president is unable to continue his duties, if for example, he or she becomes incapacitated due to a physical or mental illness.

The part of the amendment being discussed is section four, which allows the vice-president and a majority of the cabinet to declare President Trump unable to perform his duties.

The last time government buildings were breached in Washington was in 1814 and the invaders were British soldiers.

But in 2021 a Trump supporter, carrying the Confederate flag, is walking freely through the halls near the entrance to the Senate, encountering little resistance.

Congressional Democrats and some Republicans on Wednesday accused President Trump of inciting a coup after an angry mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, interrupted the proceedings to cement President-elect Joe Biden’s victory and triggered an evacuation of lawmakers.
