La prohibición de viajes a Estados Unidos, #TravelBan, que #Trump aplicó en su primer mandato podría volver e incluye a #Cuba 🇨🇺 y #Venezuela 🇻🇪 .

1️⃣ Un reportaje de @newyorktimes señala que al menos dos personas involucradas en revivir la medida confirmaron que Cuba, Irán, #Libia, Corea del Norte, #Somalia, #Sudan, #Siria, Venezuela y #Yemen están en la lista.

🇦🇫 #Afganistán y #Pakistán 🇵🇰 podrían ser incluidos en la lista.

🟠 Habría al menos otras dos categorías, llamadas naranja y amarilla, para países que tendrían "60 días para cambiar algunas deficiencias percibidas" y mejorar su cooperación con USA.

❗ La primera prohibición de viajar provocó el caos. Hubo grandes protestas en los aeropuertos contra Trump y a la larga tuvo que revocar la media.

A new #TravelBan by #Trump could bar people from #Afghanistan & #Pakistan from entering the US as soon as next week based on a government review of countries' security & vetting risks, three sources familiar with the matter said.

"A glut of Chinese overcapacity means that the price of panels in #Pakistan has gone from 24 cents a watt to 10 cents a watt in just the past year or two. Distributed #solar is breaking over Pakistan like a tidal wave..."

(big expensive #coal projects resulted in raising rates so much that payback times for residential solar are down to 1-1.5 years! Annual panel imports are 16GW into a country that had 45GW total from all sources in 2020)

started a #wikipedia article on German-born American anthropologist Hanna Kaiser Papanek (1927-2017); as a child she moved to Czechoslovakia, France, and New York to flee the Nazis. She sailed from Lisbon to New York City on the SS Nyassa in December 1940; the ship full of refugees was under distress on arrival. She earned a PhD at Harvard, and studied women's lives in Pakistan in the 1950s, Indonesia in the 1970s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna_Pa @wikiwomeninred #Pakistan #Indonesia #purdah

Meanwhile, in #Pakistan:

“This year's theme focused on the Feminist History of Pakistan, honouring the women who defied the military dictatorship of General Zia-ul-Haq by organizing a public demonstration in Lahore on February 12, 1983, despite martial law regulations that banned all political activities, processions, and public protests.”

#WaterScarcity on the Rise: #Rivers Drying at Record Rates

by Vivek SainiVivek Saini, October 8, 2024

"Rivers worldwide are drying up at the fastest rate in 30 years, posing a critical threat to ecosystems, agriculture, and human populations. In 2023, unprecedented heatwaves, prolonged droughts, and erratic rainfall patterns resulted in the most severe year of water depletion in three decades, according to World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reports. This alarming phenomenon is a direct consequence of climate change, worsened by unsustainable human activities, raising the spectre of widespread water scarcity.

A Crisis Accelerating: Rivers Drying at Record Rates

"The world’s rivers, crucial lifelines for billions of people, have shown alarming signs of depletion, with some drying up completely. The WMO’s recent State of the Global Climate report revealed that rivers in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia experienced their lowest levels since the early 1990s. Rivers like the #Yangtze, #AmazonRiver, and #Danube can no longer support the #ecosystems and communities that depend on them for agriculture, drinking water, and transport.

"The impact of climate change, marked by rising global temperatures, has played a significant role in this crisis. The warming of the Earth’s surface increases the evaporation rate from rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, intensifying water loss. Regions already prone to droughts, such as the Middle East, parts of Africa, and southern Europe, face even more severe shortages due to intensified drought cycles. In 2023 alone, the Danube, Europe’s second-longest river, saw record-low water levels, which crippled shipping routes and threatened agricultural output in countries like #Hungary and #Romania.

"This drying trend is not limited to one region. The #ColoradoRiver continues to shrink in the United States, causing severe #WaterShortages for millions in states like #Arizona and #Nevada. Similar trends have been observed in the #IndusRiver in #SouthAsia, which supports millions of people in #Pakistan and #India. These drying rivers are a wake-up call for the global community to address water conservation and management issues before irreversible damage occurs​."
