How Putin and Friends Stalled Climate Progress A handful of powerful world leaders rallied around Russia and undercut global cooperation. Mr. Putin has gained from this as the increasingly autocratic Mr. Xi finds common cause with the Kremlin. “Much depends on whether authoritarian leaders perceive climate action to be in their self-interest.”Though their actions help Mr. Putin, their track records on climate are mixed. Mr. Xi called Mr. Putin his “best friend.”He was returning the favor from a year earlier, when Mr. Putin hosted Mr. Xi at the Grand Kremlin Palace and awarded him one of Russia’s highest medals for foreign dignitaries. At a news conference with Mr. Putin, Mr. Bolsonaro thanked his “dear friend,” saying that Mr. Putin had offered him support when other world leaders were criticizing his Amazon policy.
DEBT STRESSTreasury bond quotas could be increased, so that some of them could be transferred to local governments to ease their fiscal stress, said Luo Zhiheng, chief macroeconomic analyst at Yuekai Securities. Combined with some maturing debts of local government financing vehicles (LGFVs) - investment companies that build infrastructure projects - this year and the next will be most stressful for local governments, he said. According to financial media outlet Yicai, local governments' revenue from fines and confiscations jumped 10.4% in January-July year-on-year. The fiscal stress is cutting into some households' income, a red flag for consumption and broader growth. As there is no way out, they have had to ask the local government fiscal department for money."

O furtună de nisip a lovit Beijingul, fiind purtată de curenţi de aer din Mongolia şi nord-vestul Chinei. Furtuna de nisip, care a învăluit Beijingul pentru a doua oară în mai puțin de două săptămâni, a împins nivelurile de poluare peste limitele considerate periculoase și a făcut ca cerul să devină galben iar soarele să se reducă la un punct albastru, scrie digi24. Pe platforma chineză de socializare Weibo, oamenii au postat numeroase imagini cu „soarele albastru”, iluzia optică fiind un efect al modului în care este difuzată lumina soarelui în particulele de nisip și de apă. Furtuna de nisip a fost cauzată de vânturile puternice care transportau praf din Mongolia, afectată de secetă și din alte părți din nord-vestul Chinei. Nivelul particulelor de dimensiuni mai mici PM2.5 a fost peste 300 micrograme pe metru cub, cu mult peste pragul standard în China, de 35 de micrograme.

Capitala Chinei, Beijing, s-a trezit duminică dimineaţă învăluită într-un strat dens de praf, cu un conţinut ridicat de particule periculoase, după ce o furtună de nisip, a doua într-un interval de două săptămâni, s-a abătut asupra oraşului, purtată de curenţi de aer din Mongolia şi nord-vestul Chinei, informează Reuters, citat de agerpres.ro. Mereu există o zi sau două ca asta (poluare sau praf) în fiecare lună”, a spus domnul Fan, în vârstă de 39 de ani, care nu a dorit să-şi dezvăluie numele complet. Administraţia de Meteorologie din China a emis vineri o alertă galbenă, avertizând asupra unei furtuni de nisip care se deplasează dinspre Mongolia înspre provinciile din nordul Chinei, printre care Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Liaoning şi Hebei, care înconjoară Beijingul. Administraţia meteorologică a precizat că furtunile de nisip care au afectat recent Beijingul provin din Mongolia, unde temperaturile relativ calde din această primăvară şi precipitaţiile reduse au făcut ca zone întinse să devină aride, creând condiţii favorabile pentru furtuni de nisip. Beijingul s-ar putea confrunta şi cu alte furtuni de nisip pe parcursul lunii aprilie din cauza condiţiilor meteo nefavorabile de anul acesta, a precizat administraţia pentru meteorologie.

Satelitul a intrat pe orbită alături de alți 12 sateliți de la Centrul de Lansare a Sateliților Taiyuan din provincia Shanxi. Astfel va fi testată tehnologia de mare viteză, estimată că va fi de 100 de ori mai rapidă decât tehnologia 5G și care va fi unul dintre elementele de bază ale comunicațiilor din a șasea generație. Satelitul transportă, de asemenea, tehnologie care va fi utilizată pentru monitorizarea dezastrelor agricole și prevenirea incendiilor de pădure.
