Politicians Subsidise Fossil Fuels with Six Trillion Dollars in Just One Year — HUMAN WRONGS WATCH — Barbara Crane Navarro

Human Wrongs Watch By Baher Kamal* MADRID, Nov 16 2021 (IPS)* – It sounds incredible: while politicians have been cackling about the climate emergency and profiling in empty promises to halt it, they have spent six trillion US dollars from taxpayers’ money to subsidise fossil fuels in just one year: 2020. And they are set […] […]

This Startup Just Launched A Rocket By Spinning It Really Fast With No Fuel, And It Worked – SpaceNews

Every satellite that has been sent into orbit in the history of spaceflight has required a rocket. The necessity for rockets, however, is changing, with SpinLaunch marking the first successful test launch of its kinetic launch technology. The launch system is zero-emissions and does not need a rocket.

To launch payloads into orbit, it employs a gigantic accelerator the size of the Statue of Liberty that is powered by an electric motor. SpinLaunch claims that their invention may cut fuel usage by a factor of four while costing ten times less than standard rocket launches…

short narrative nonfiction: “I Shouldn’t Exist?”

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

… Memories of visiting mid 1970’s NYC from NJ…

We were in one of those tunnels, smelling the stink of the city. Was this the Lincoln, or the Holland? I could hear Suzanna calling the gas station owner a putz, again, over the cough of her little VW’s engine. I thought I’d seen a flash of blue light for a second, but then the engine stuttered again. I hoped we wouldn’t break down. She’d said that he watered down his gas to make more money. How did they put water in the gasoline, anyway? Wasn’t it all closed up somewhere? I turned to Suzanna. She knew so many interesting things, and never told me to stop asking questions.

She wouldn’t look at me.

My stomach started to get upset, the way it did with other people, when they got mad. But I’d never seen Suzanna mad at me, even when…

COVID: Germany faces ‘national emergency’ – DW – 11/19/2021

…In the past two weeks, the number of new cases has jumped by more than 60%.

On Friday, Germany recorded 52,970 daily new infections, a day after registering over 65,000 daily cases, a record since the start of the pandemic. Health officials are warning that the number is likely to at least double in the coming days.

Uwe Janssens, secretary-general of the German Society for Internal Intensive Care, told DW the numbers were “absolutely worrying.”

He pointed out that patients who suffer severe disease after getting infected with the virus end up in the intensive care unit much later, “with a delay of up to 15 days.”

“Currently, around 0.8% of infected people will have to be treated further in an intensive care unit during the course of an infection,” he said. And if there are 50,000-60,000 new infections a day, “you can count how many people will reach the intensive care units in 7 to 10 to 12 days.”

The situation is becoming “too much to handle,” he stressed…
