The careful implementation of a Caribbean carbon pricing regime could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions but should be associated with a redistribution of any revenues

Petchary's Blog

As the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) draws ever closer, I will try to focus more on some of the issues that Jamaica and the Caribbean should be paying attention to. Here is the latest from the Office of the UN Resident Coordinator in Jamaica, on the Jamaica Economy Panel’s (JEP) deliberations on carbon pricing.

And what is that? To quote from economist Dr. Olaf J. de Groot’s article:

Carbon pricing is an effective instrument in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon pricing means making emitters pay for the costs that the public purse currently absorbs, such as those in the form of damage to crops, health care costs from heatwaves and droughts, and loss of property from flooding and sea-level rise. The two primary ways to administer a carbon pricing regime are through anemissions tradingscheme (where the limited amounts permitted are traded between emitters) and a

Todas às vezes que você tiver a oportunidade de mudar o seu destino, mude. Os erros do passado, ninguém conserta, mas olhe para frente…sempre. Apesar do futuro não ser uma certeza, ele nos ajuda a ter um norte, quando se pensa no dia seguinte. Portanto, olhe para vida com boas expectativas, pous ela sempre deixa um vestígio gracioso de esperança no caminho todas às vezes que temos a consciência e a coragem para seguir adiante.Bom dia a todos!..Imaem: Marii Freire Pereira/ Jardim Botânico/ Rio de Janeiro.

Vivaldi translation: Whenever you have the opportunity to change your destiny, change. The mistakes of the past, nobody fixes, but look ahead … always. Although the future is not a certainty, it helps us to have a north, when you think about the next day. So look at life with good expectations, once she always leaves a graceful trace of hope on the way every time we have the conscience and the courage to move on. Good morning everyone!

Knosos, Grčka – Knossos, Greece

Google translation of introduction: The remains of ancient Knossos represent the most important expression of the development of urban planning of architecture and art of the first European civilization, which Sir Arthur Evans named Minoan, after the legendary King Minos. The origin of the city is inextricably linked with the legend of that king, the son of the god Zeus, who, according to written tradition, civilized the population of Crete.

Ostaci drevnog Knososa predstavljaju najvažniji izraz razvoja urbanističkog planiranja arhitekture i umjetnosti prve evropske civilizacije, koju je ser Artur Evans nazvao minojska, po legendarnom kralju Minosu. Nastanak grada je nerazlučivo povezan s legendom o tom kralju, sinu boga Zevsa koji je prema pisanom predanju civilizovao stanovništvo Krita. Vladao je mudro i pravedno, donosio zakone i postavio temelje pomorskoj nadmoći Krita tako što je stvorio njegovu prvu flotu. Minos se povezuje i s legendom o Minotauru, čudovištu rođenom iz strasti kraljeve žene Pasifaje prema jednom biku. Posramljen tim bićem s ljudskim tijelom i glavom bika, kralj je naredio Dedalu da izgradi veliku palatu (čuveni lavirint) u kojem će čudovište biti zatočeno. Svake godine (ili možda svake tri godine ili svakih devet godina) sedmorica mladića i sedam djevica iz Atine bilo je žrtvovano Minotauru, pošto je taj grad bio odgovoran za smrt jednog Minosovog sina. Uz Arijadninu pomoć, Tezej je uspio da…

Más allá de barrotes y ataduras, el arte es libre

Santiago Galicia Rojon Serrallonga

SANTIAGO GALICIA ROJON SERRALLONGA

Derechos reservados conforme a la ley/ Copyright

La inspiración, en el arte, vuela y navega una noche o alguna mañana, en la tarde o en la madrugada, mientras es otoño o es primavera, durante un invierno o cierto verano, libre y plena, en armonía y con equilibrio, sin que alguien la mancille y someta, a veces solemne y en ocasiones, en cambio, desbordante. El arte sigue su ruta. No admite cadenas, barrotes y candados, simplemente por su rebeldía a la producción en serie, a las reglas estrictas e indiferentes, a la crueldad y al juicio sin sentido. Es un pájaro que vuela lejos o cerca, una hoja que juega con el viento o que deja pasar las corrientes de aire por preferir las gotas de lluvia o los copor de nieve, una embarcación que sortea el oleaje impetuoso, las tormentas incesantes y las tranquilidades profundas o…

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Insists ‘There Is No Room’ for NBA Players Who Refuse to Get Vaccinated

“The NBA should insist that all players and staff are vaccinated or remove them from the team,” the NBA legend told Rolling Stone. “There is no room for players who are willing to risk the health and lives of their teammates, the staff and the fans simply because they are unable to grasp the seriousness of the situation or do the necessary research. What I find especially disingenuous about the vaccine deniers is their arrogance at disbelieving immunology and other medical experts. Yet, if their child was sick or they themselves needed emergency medical treatment, how quickly would they do exactly what those same experts told them to do?”

I meannnnnnnn, he ain’t lying. There have been reports for months about emergency rooms being packed with unvaccinated people; the same unvaccinated people who could potentially avoid going to the hospital entirely if they just took the damn vaccine instead of receiving emergency medical care from the same medical experts they claimed they didn’t believe in the first fucking place. During a recent press conference, President Biden also claimed that unvaccinated Americans are hindering economic growth, costing our country jobs, and putting an unnecessary strain on our healthcare system.
