Geneva (AFP) - Climate change has become the biggest threat to UN-listed natural world heritage sites like glaciers and wetlands, and has pushed Australia's Great Barrier Reef into "critical" condition, conservationists said Wednesday. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) revealed in a new report that shifts due to the changing climate now imperil a full third of the 252 UNESCO-listed natural sites around the globe. Overall, 94 of the sites are facing significant or critical risk from a wide range of factors -- including tourism, hunting, fire and water pollution -- marking an increase from the 62 listed...

Amazon.com Inc said on Wednesday that five companies, including Uber Technologies Inc and JetBlue Airways Corp, have joined its fund that invests in companies developing environmentally friendly technologies. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos last year pledged to make the largest U.S. e-commerce company net carbon neutral by 2040, as employees and consumers around the world protested for broader moves to address climate change. Environmental activists welcomed that move but said that cutting all emissions related to Amazon, which delivers 10 billion items a year and has a massive transportation and data center footprint, was a huge challenge. So far 18...

When Trump installed Bill Barr as his Attorney General, most conservatives thought this was a good thing. Barr was seen as a straight shooter who had come out of retirement to help clean up the justice department that Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch had corrupted and that Jeff Sessions had been helpless to repair. However, in his two years in office, he’s accomplished some excellent things but much less than conservatives had hoped he would. Things went haywire today, though, when Barr said that the DOJ has “not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Psalm 37 Of David. 1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; 2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. 3 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteous...

Yes, really. The complaint was prompted by a university study surround issues affecting Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and faculty. Citing concerns of black people, the report noted that there were “linguistic concerns about Black being associated with negative expressions” such as “blackmail” and “black sheep.” After the report labeled the use of words which included “black” as “divisive and not inclusive,” the university’s student union demanded that “any other use of the word ‘black’ as an adjective to express negative connotations” should be banned in research papers, lecture slides, and books published by professors. Students claimed that...

For the last two weeks, Sidney Powell was telling everyone that she could prove that our election was decided abroad by bad actors. Tuesday’s news seemed to confirm those claims. A retired military analyst testified in Arizona that the U.S. has captured the information that was sent overseas. Also, a November 25 declaration from an active duty military analyst was made public today, which says that, within five days of the election, the analyst was able to connect dominonvotingsystems.com, which is Dominion’s proprietary URL, to Belgrade, Iran, China – and Barack Obama.I’ve been enjoying a delightful email conversation with Nick...

The debate about same-sex marriage and LGBT identities in the Church of England is not new, but recent insults and threats are leading to an even bigger division among Anglicans. For years, the debate has been causing major rifts in the Anglican Communion, causing church leaders in emergent regions such as Africa and Latin America, to form Gafcon, a movement led by Global South Anglicans who hold to the biblical view and traditional teaching on human sexuality. Calls by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to have a peaceful conversation, have again shown to be ineffective. The fact that the...

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 26:41 “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” If we’re going to watch against temptation, we need to be aware of its sources and behavior. To again use an analogy from warfare—and we are indeed engaged in spiritual warfare—we need some intelligence information about the enemy. The Bible speaks of three different sources of temptation waging war against the children of God: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We need to know how they operate and how they tempt us. The world, or the sinful society in which we live, is characterized by...

Several years ago, Project Baltimore began an investigation of Baltimore's school system. What they found was an utter disgrace. In 19 of Baltimore's 39 high schools, out of 3,804 students, only 14 of them, or less than 1%, were proficient in math. In 13 of Baltimore's high schools, not a single student scored proficient in math. In five Baltimore City high schools, not a single student scored proficient in math or reading. Despite these academic deficiencies, about 70% of the students graduate and are conferred a high school diploma -- a fraudulent high school diploma. The Detroit Public Schools Community...

An IT worker trained and contracted by Dominion Voting Systems who worked at the tabulating center in Detroit on Nov. 3 claimed Tuesday she saw election workers illegally rescanning batches of 50 ballots for Joe Biden over and over to create more votes. Melissa Carone, who spoke to the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee at a hearing Tuesday in Lansing, Michigan, said she was at the TCF Center for a total of 27 hours, beginning the morning of Election Day. "What I witnessed at the TCF Center was simply fraud the whole 27 hours I was there," she said. "There were...

A national constitutional litigation organization, The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, hosted a national press conference yesterday evening featuring three whistleblowers who provided personal eyewitness accounts demonstrating significant potential election fraud, some of which affects hundreds of thousands of ballots. Their affidavits are being used as evidence in litigation to ensure election integrity and the upholding of election laws in key battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Jesse Morgan, a truck driver for a subcontractor with the United States Postal Service, claimed that a trailer he was driving, one full of potentially upwards of 288,000...

Former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard offered praise for a recent Supreme Court decision blocking New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s efforts to limit religious gatherings during the pandemic. The court ruled 5-4 in favor of a pair of religious groups who argued that Cuomo’s rules unfairly targeted them and violated the Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom. Chief Justice John Roberts, as per usual, sided with the liberals on the court in dissenting, meaning President Trump’s latest appointee Amy Coney Barrett cast the crucial and deciding vote. Gabbard sided with Barrett and the other conservatives who smacked down Cuomo’s edict. “I...

Though we have not over the years accused Barack Obama of anti-Semitism, we did feel even prior to his election in 2008 that Obama was uncomfortable with the idea of Jewish sovereignty, as well as Jewish rights in and of themselves, disconnected from intersectionality. In his recent book, Promised Land, it is crystal clear that Obama is uncomfortable, perhaps even hostile to a specific Jewish state in the Land of Israel and used his tenure as president to undermine the proud and glorious history of Zionism. He spent excessive zeal and capital to reshape American and world policy so as...

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday, promising a “strengthened partnership” on a host of issues from coronavirus to climate, all predicated on a resumption of access to U.S. taxpayer dollars. According to a readout of the call, Biden thanked Guterres for his praise and said he looked forward to a new era of cooperation.
