\nQuote – To scare grandma, they need fresh villains. So they zero in on this tiny, adorable, tired man, who has done nothing but good for this world. Dr. Fauci has probably done more good for the world than all of us in this room combined.\u201d
\nClick through for what he called Tucker<\/a>. What impressed me more was his description of Fauci, so that’s what I quoted.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – We mapped the last five years of planes and ships visiting the continent, illuminating for the first time the extent of travel across the hemispheres and the potential source locations for non-native species. We found that, luckily, while some have breached Antarctica, they generally have yet to get a stranglehold, leaving the continent still relatively pristine. But Antarctica is getting busier, with new research stations, rebuilding and more tourism activities planned. Our challenge is to keep it pristine under this growing human activity and climate change threat.
\nClick through for details and prognosis.<\/a> The Revelator is a niche publication, ;iterally all about saving the earth for human habitation, which means it’s very much about climate change and reversing its effects.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – This year marks Joe and Jill Biden\u2019s first holiday season in the White House as president and first lady. Jill Biden explained they were inspired by Americans across the country who remind us that \u201cour differences are precious and our similarities infinite.\u201d The year was also defined by the uncommon acts of compassion, bravery and selflessness by many \u2014 and the White House celebrates their service and sacrifice, Jill Biden said.
\nClick through for more.<\/a> I wanted an article that was positive about it, which eliminated Slate and the New York Times quickly. I think most of us are glad to have a President and First Lady who are human and humane.\u00a0 BTW, I think the video – in the Video Thread – shows more detail.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.7thstep.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/mail.jpg\")
