Annual finance for climate action surpasses USD 1 trillion, but far from levels needed to avoid devastating future losses - CPI

https://www.climatepolicyinitiative.org/press-release/annual-finance-for-climate-action-surpasses-usd-1-trillion-but-far-from-levels-needed-to-avoid-devastating-future-losses/

According to Google:

Annual global climate finance flows reached almost $1.3 trillion in 2021/2022, doubling from 2019/2020 levels. However, this represents only about 1% of global GDP, and experts estimate that much larger investments are needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Why the Modern Diet Is Making You Sick

"Jordan Peterson continues to follow a carnivore diet, specifically a restricted version focusing on beef, salt, and water. He and his daughter, Mikhaila, have both spoken publicly about their experiences with this diet, citing improvements in various health issues like autoimmune conditions, depression, and sleep problems. 

More Details:

• Lion Diet:

  Peterson and his daughter follow a strict carnivore diet called the "lion diet," which limits their food intake to only beef, salt, and water. 
• Rationale:

  They believe this diet, which eliminates all other foods, can help with autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, and other health problems. 
Impact on Peterson:
Peterson has reported experiencing positive impacts, such as reduced inflammation, improved gum health, and increased strength, since adopting the diet. 
Controversy and Concerns:
The diet has faced criticism and concern from some experts, who point to potential health risks like nutrient deficiencies and the difficulty of maintaining such a restrictive diet long-term. 
No Recommendation for Others:
While Peterson and his daughter have shared their experiences, they have also emphasized that they don't recommend this diet for everyone. "

My problem with the video is that it doesn't present any evidence that carbohydrates are harmful. He refers to it as a "glucose diet," but our bodies, especially our brains, run on glucose as a source of energy.

It's important to distinguish between glucose (which comes from starches) and sucrose (table sugar). There is overwhelming evidence that sugar is harmful to our health, but this doesn't apply in the same way to all carbohydrates. 

 When it comes to poor health, we could blame diet, excess weight, or a combination of the two. People gain weight because they consume more calories than they burn. Eating too many carbohydrates can contribute to this, but that doesn't mean we should eliminate them entirely. 

 I've also seen a number of videos claiming that humans are carnivores. That's simply not accurate. Only a few species are obligate carnivores that can survive on meat alone. Humans are omnivores; we have teeth and digestive systems adapted to a varied diet.

The Star that will Enter the Solar System

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix4HX62YH4o&t=389s

Hundreds of billions of stars are orbiting the Milky Way.  Sometimes they get close to each other.

I assume that the orbits don't have to be perfectly circular.   Reportedly, other stars have passed close to the solar system.

"Earth normally takes 24 hours, or exactly 86,400 seconds, to complete one full rotation, which is called a solar day."

A solar day is different from one complete rotation.  A solar day is the time that elapses from high noon to high noon.  But in a day, the Earth moves about 1 degree around the sun.  That means that high noon is about 1 degree different from one day to the next.

If we measure by the stars, a full rotation, called a sidereal day, takes 23 hours and 56 minutes.

According to the video, early attempts at policing were corrupt and cruel, and legislatures didn't want to pay for them.
