Der deutsche Bundeskanzler Scholz, der eine kurze Reise nach Afrika absovierte, unterstützt Investitionen in Gasförderung und den Bergbau in Nigeria, blieb aber in öffentlichen Statements vage https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/germanys-scholz-says-his-country-willing-invest-nigerian-gas-minerals-2023-10-29/

Einer neuen Studie zufolge liegt das CO2 Budget, mit dem sich das 1,5 Grad Ziel mit wenigstens 50% Wahrscheinlichkeit noch erreichen ließe, bei 250 Milliarden Tonnen. Es ist damit nur halb so hoch, wie bisher angenommen. Bei der von den UN vorangetriebenen Halbierung der Emissionen bis 2030 liege die Chance bei maximal 40%. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/30/climate-crisis-carbon-emissions-budget

Viele Wissenschaftlerin:nen und NGOs appellieren an die französische Premierministerin Borne, nicht auf eine eingreifende Reform der Kriterien für die Vergabe des Labels "sozial verantwortliche Investition" zu verzichten, an der sich viele Privatinvestor:innen orientieren. Dabei geht es um den Ausschluss von Investitionen in fossile Energien, den Lobbyist:innen mit großem Druck verhindern wollen. https://www.liberation.fr/economie/jancovici-jouzel-wwf-greenpeace-un-collectif-interpelle-borne-pour-contrer-le-lobby-bancaire-sur-les-energies-fossiles-20231030_NFD72764QNCT3GPNU4X4NGU2SY/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmita

During shmita, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden by halakha (Jewish law).

The sabbath year (shmita; Hebrew: שמיטה, literally "release"), also called the sabbatical year or shǝvi'it (שביעית‎, literally "seventh"), or "Sabbath of The Land", is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah in the Land of Israel and is observed in Judaism.

The articles I picked for my two picked was from CNN and the other was from the ny times. They both were very similar because they both were about how the US troops left Afghanistan after our 20 year war with them.

I think majority of the people in the transcripts are trying to give a metaphorical presentation of their pain – because it’s hard for someone, an outsider no less, to understand and fully grasp what an addict is going through and to know, truly, how difficult it is to get back on track – and even more so how dissuasive it feels to even return to their previous, healthy state.

This excerpt from the study is an example of an allegorical interpretation of their pain because they use actions or examples to better describe the pain they undergo during “withdrawal pain.” In the first instance of this excerpt, the girl describes how things are in much "higher contrast" - she can see the positives much brighter with these drugs, but she can also feel the negatives much deeper and opaque with the loss of it. Hence, the comparison creates a strong kind of dependency, a strong, overwhelming feeling of need. And at the last part of the section, they describe weapon metaphors such as "knife, or bones that cut through." That kind of extreme, brutal, and gruesome pain is being used in their narratives to describe the torture, the magnitude of what their "withdrawal pain" feels like.
