In some regions of the world, we are facing climate-fueled disasters for which we are not prepared, and it is unlikely that we will be able to fully adapt to them, Raul Cordero, climate professor at the University of Groningen and the University of Santiago, via 'The Guardian'.

Richard Betts of the Met Office’s Hadley Centre urged global leaders to take action to reverse direction on the world's path toward a climate calamity.

We can still limit the extent to which extremes get worse if we urgently reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero – but with global emissions still rising, it’s hard not to be increasingly concerned about how we will deal with what’s coming, Richard Betts, Met Office’s Hadley Centre, via 'The Guardian'

Elon Musk Lauds India’s Fast Vote Counting, Slams California’s Slow Election Results in Fiery X Post

Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise India's efficient and swift vote-counting process, contrasting it with the delays faced by California in finalising its election results. In his post, Musk highlighted how India, with its electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs), was able to count a staggering 640 million votes in a single day during the recent elections. This stands in stark contrast to California, which has been struggling to count votes nearly 20 days after the election, largely due to complicated mail-in ballot procedures and decentralised local election systems. Musk emphasised the scalability and efficiency of India's centralised election oversight, led by the Election Commission, while criticising the slow and cumbersome system in California. His comments have sparked debate on the effectiveness of different electoral systems, with many praising India's handling of large-scale elections. #ElonMusk #IndiaElections #VoteCounting #EfficientElections #CaliforniaElections #ElectionSystem #VoterIntegrity #ElectionReform #IndianElectionModel #FastCounting #EVMS #VVPAT #USVsIndia #ElectionDelays #MuskOnElections ~HT.178~PR.320~ED.103~GR.124~
