Future of Fossil Fuel Industry Takes Center Stage at COP28 Climate Talks
Future of Fossil Fuel Industry , Takes Center Stage at , COP28 Climate Talks.
From November 30 to December 12, the United Nations
will hold its annual climate summit, convening
delegates from almost 200 countries in Dubai.
NBC reports that conference host and OPEC
member the UAE will look to promote its vision of a
low-carbon future that continues to rely on fossil fuels.
.
Countries remain divided over
phasing out fossil fuels or scaling up
technologies like carbon capture.
.
The summit comes as the planet is
on track to break "another record for
the hottest year in 2023," NBC reports.
The high-stakes climate summit also comes
on the heels of reports confirming that countries'
current efforts to meet climate pledges are not
enough to minimize the impact of global warming.
Ahead of the conference, the International
Energy Agency released a report, calling the
idea of widespread carbon capture an "illusion.".
The West's energy watchdog said the fossil fuel industry
needs to decide whether to help the world transition to
clean energy or allow the impending climate crisis to worsen.
In response, OPEC issued a statement accusing
the IEA of painting oil producers as villains.
This presents an extremely narrow
framing of the challenges before us,
and perhaps expediently plays down
such issues as energy security,
energy access and energy affordability, OPEC statement, via NBC.
NBC reports that greenhouse gas emissions
from the burning of fossil fuels remain
the leading cause of climate change.
Lisa Kudrow says she's finally rewatching 'Friends' because of Matthew Perry. The actress has previously admitted that she couldn't bring herself to watch reruns of the beloved NBC sitcom, explaining she didn't want to risk not liking her work on the show. But in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote her upcoming Apple TV+ series 'Time Bandits,' Kudrow revealed that she's begun to revisit old 'Friends' episodes, in large part to keep the memory of her late co-star Perry alive. Perry died October 28th, 2023, at age 54.

Supreme Court Rejects , Challenge to Tax Law on, Foreign Investments.
On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign
corporate investments enacted by a Republican-controlled
Congress under former President Donald Trump.
On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign
corporate investments enacted by a Republican-controlled
Congress under former President Donald Trump.
NBC reports that the case had attracted scrutiny when
conservative Justice Samuel Alito refused to recuse
himself despite ties with one of the challenging lawyers.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
According to the 16th Amendment
of the Constitution, Congress has the
power to "collect taxes on incomes.".
In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were
unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an
India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. .
While the company made a profit, the Moores
claim that they received no dividends and that
the money was reinvested in the business.
As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between
2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later
defined as income from their investment. .
Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law
enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017,
the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes.
They later sought a refund for that payment,
arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed
based on an increase in the value of a capital
investment not qualifying as income.
The couple's challenge was rejected
by the Supreme Court 7-2

NBC reports that Murthy warned that the
mental health crisis among young Americans
has become an urgent problem, citing social
media as "an important contributor.".
According to Murthy, the warning would include
language that alerts users to potential mental health
harms associated with using social media.
A surgeon generalās
warning label, which requires
congressional action, would
regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media
has not been proved safe, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Evidence from tobacco labels
shows that surgeon generalās
warnings can increase
awareness and change behavior, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Murthy reportedly went on to
acknowledge that a warning alone has
limitations and fails to make social media safe.
In an op-ed published in 'The New York Times,'
Murthy linked the amount of time spent using
social media with an increased risk for children
to develop anxiety and depression.

According to the American Psychological Association,
teens spend around five hours a day on popular

In his 'NYT' op-ed, Murthy called on all social media
platforms to "proactively enhance and contribute to
the mental health and well-being of our children.".
One 2019 study found that the number of teens with suicidal thoughts increased 47% between 2008 and
2017, a period which also saw social media use soar.

SUV Sales Hit , Record High in 2023 Despite , Global Efforts to Cut Emissions.
'The Guardian' reports that SUV sales
hit a record high in 2023, comprising
half of all new cars sold globally.
Experts warn that the increasing popularity
of the heavy vehicles will drive up carbon
emissions responsible for global warming.
An analysis by the International Energy Agency
(IEA) found that emissions from SUVs made up
for 20% of the world's carbon emissions in 2023.
According to the IEA, if SUVs were
considered a country, they would have been
the fifth-largest carbon emitter in the world,
ahead of both Germany and Japan.
'The Guardian' reports that urgent cuts in emissions
are needed to combat climate-driven extreme weather
events, which are already increasing in frequency.
Despite this, SUV sales
increased by 15% compared to a 3%
increase for conventional automobiles in 2023.
According to the IEA, the main reasons
behind increasing SUV sales are
āthe appeal of SUVs as a status symbol,ā
automakers' marketing and perceptions of comfort.
The IEA also points out that SUVs cause greater injuries
in pedestrian collisions, due to the height of the
vehicle's front end and take up more space in cities.
While 20% of the SUVs sold in 2023
were either full electric or plug-in hybrids,
the vehicles require larger batteries, which
places a strain on supplies of critical minerals. .
In 2023, there were over 360 million SUVs
on roads worldwide, which were responsible
for more than 1 billion tons of carbon emissions,
increasing by about 10% compared to 2022
