But industry experts say governments need to offer incentives for companies to bring sustainable AC technologies to market and scale up. Removing humidity requires cooling air to the point at which water vapour becomes a liquid to be drained. This inability to get rid of humidity without first cooling the air makes conventional ACs less efficient. The company's AC prototype uses these materials to dry out air, aiming to produce fewer emissions than traditional ACs. More than 1 billion people living in warm climates still lack access to cooling, according to nonprofit Sustainable Energy for All.

A video of a protest in Madrid against a plan by Spain’s acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to grant amnesty to Catalan separatists has been falsely claimed online to show a pro-Palestinian protest. The acting premier’s Socialist Party (PSOE) secured the backing of the Catalan separatist party Junts on Nov. 9 via a deal that included passing a law to grant amnesty to individuals convicted over Catalonia's attempt to secede from Spain in 2017. Thousands of people gathered across Spain on Nov. 12 to oppose the deal. Photographs and livestreams (archived) also captured different angles (archived) of the same protest. The protest was held over the Spanish government’s Catalan-separatist amnesty, not the Israel-Hamas war.

MADRID, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people protested across Spain on Sunday against acting prime minister Pedro Sanchez's plans to grant amnesty to Catalan separatists in exchange for support for another term in office. The government secured a deal with Catalan separatist party Junts on Thursday which includes passing a contentious law granting amnesty to those convicted over Catalonia's attempt to secede from Spain in 2017. "He (Sanchez) has betrayed coexistence, democracy...he can't keep governing," said banker Tomas Perez, 38, holding a sign reading "Sanchez traitor". After an inconclusive July 23 election, the Socialists spent weeks negotiating with smaller parties including far-left platform Sumar and Catalan, Galician and Basque nationalist parties.

The annual event was revived in 1994 as part of Madrid's annual Fiesta de la Trashumancia, after the Spanish parliament recognised the traditional routes used to herd livestock. Once they passed through quiet countryside, but on Sunday the shepherds, many of whom wore traditional dress, had to cross some of the busiest areas of the city, including the Puerta del Sol, one of Madrid's main squares. Locals and tourists lined the way, snapping pictures of the sheep that wore tinkling bells around their necks. "I really didn't expect this in the city, in the capital. "It's amazing," said Sandra Van Arkelem, 57, from the Netherlands "So many people are joining and enjoying it".

Once revered for his role in Spain's transition to democracy, he is now seen as a liability for his son, King Felipe. After eight minutes standing next to the bronze bear figure, Miranda removed his unauthorised statue - 170 cm (67 inches) tall and made of polyurethane and modelling clay covered with metallic paint resembling patina on bronze. The Bear and Strawberry Tree - the official symbols of Madrid - are photographed by thousands of tourists daily in the middle of the Puerta del Sol square. Miranda will have an exhibition in Madrid next month which will include images of the performance in Puerta del Sol.

Spanish travel industry association Exceltur said that about 300,000 homes are offered for short-term rental in the country's 20 largest cities, with some 389,779 rooms managed by hotels. Exceltur, which groups together major Spanish hotel chains, travel agents, tour operators and airlines, is lobbying for a new law to regulate short-term rental platforms such as such as Airbnb, describing the situation as "out of control". Renting to tourists is twice as profitable as offering long-term rentals to residents, the Exceltur study showed. In Spain, short-term rentals are also cheaper, on average, than hotels. These include forcing platforms to verify that individual hosts are properly registered as tourist accommodation providers, with official permission to operate.

Starea de urgență a fost introdusă pe 25 octombrie, iar de atunci spaniolii nu și-au mai putut părăsi locuințele fără un motiv bine întemeiat. În acest moment rata de infectare la nivel național este de 198 de cazuri la 100 de mii de locuitori (sub 2 la mie), însă în unele regiuni rata este mai mare, iar acestea vor menține restricțiile. Rămâne în vigoare interdicția de circulație pe timpul nopții în regiunile Valencia, Baleares, Canarias, Ţara Bascilor şi Navarra. Până acum aproape 28% dintre spanioli (13,2 milioane de persoane) au primit cel puțin o doză de vaccin împotriva Covid-19, în timp ce 12,6% au fost complet imunizați.

Circulaţia românilor în noaptea de Revelion a fost interzisă, confom hotărârii de prelungire a stării de alertă din 14 decembrie. În New York, doar o mână de oameni au fost lăsați să intre în Times Square pentru a urmări manifestaţiile de Revelion. De asemenea, The New York Times scrie că au existat doar câteva zeci de oameni care au numărat secundele până la intrarea în noul an. În anii anteriori în Times Square se adunau sute de mii de oameni pentru a sărbători Anul Nou. Adunarea tradiţională din piaţa Puerta del Sol din Madrid a fost anulată, iar spaniolii au fost îndemnaţi să mănânce strugurii de la miezul nopţii în case.

Autorităţile din numeroase ţări, precum Franţa şi Norvegia, dar şi organizaţii internaţionale, precum Organizaţia Mondială a Sănătăţii (OMS), i-au îndemnat pe oameni să nu renunţe la prudenţă, în pofida dorinţei lor de a se întâlni şi de a se relaxa alături de cei dragi după un an foarte dificil. "Eu sunt tipul acela care vă fură Crăciunul", a declarat Brian Pallister, prim-ministrul provinciei canadiene Manitoba, implorându-i pe locuitorii din acea regiune "să nu se întâlnească de Crăciun". "Dacă avem prea multe contacte acum, înainte de Crăciun, iar apoi acesta va fi ultimul Crăciun petrecut alături de bunici, atunci înseamnă că vom fi ratat ceva", a avertizat, emoţionată, cancelarul german Angela Merkel.Belgia este una dintre ţările care au decis să limiteze cel mai mult numărul invitaţilor cu ocazia Crăciunului: un singur invitat pentru o familie, cel mult doi pentru persoanele care locuiesc singure. Luxemburgul a autorizat doi invitaţi pentru fiecare familie.Nu mai mult de şase adulţi la masa de Crăciun, au cerut şi autorităţile din Franţa.Norvegia îşi relaxează restricţiile pe durata sărbătorilor şi va permite reuniuni de cel mult 10 persoane. "Va trebui să improvizaţi şi, poate, să lungiţi puţin masa", a declarat prim-ministrul Erna Solberg, referindu-se la normele de distanţare fizică.În Marea Britanie, reuniunile familiale (cel mult trei familii) vor fi permise din 23 până pe 27 decembrie.
