Arizona Has the 18th Lowest Carbon Emissions per Capita Published: 26 April 2021 26 April 2021
Yuma, Arizona - The emission of carbon dioxide has long been recognized as the leading driver of global climate change. Since the Industrial Revolution began in the mid-1800s, the global economy has largely been powered by heavily carbon-emitting fuel sources like oil, coal, and gas.
While this has brought tremendous wealth and prosperity, CO2 emissions have grown exponentially, contributing to an enhanced greenhouse gas effect that traps heat in the atmosphere.
The world is now grappling with the long-term ramifications of climate change, including extreme weather events, changes to water resources and agriculture, and newfound health challenges. Many governments are mobilizing to limit the effects of climate change and reduce carbon output as quickly as they can.

Beware those encouraging young people on to streets Young loyalists rioting on the Shankill Road in west Belfast last week. For decades young people in Northern Ireland have been drawn onto the streets to fight battles waged by their elders 27 April, 2021 00:01
THE reasons behind the recent violence on our streets are many and complex. They reflect genuine issues that must be addressed.
However, setting fire to your own area, attacking your own police service, potentially damaging the economy of your own country and undermining its social fabric are self-defeating tactics. It’s like putting a gun to your own head and shouting that if you don’t get your own way you will pull the trigger.
