“Climate change is an issue that requires a systemic global response – and this is testing our complex decentralised dynamic systems, including education, where the potential for change is greatest. Again, despite these complexities, it remains the responsibility of governments to put in place the legislative and regulatory frameworks, and set the strategic policy guidance and accountability frameworks and collaborative mechanisms to ensure that its citizens can live peacefully, sustainably and equitably”

“when it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,”

“We’re all sick, or if we’re not sick we are recovering from being sick, or we are about to get sick. People are getting Covid twice, or recovering from Covid, then getting some other sickness pretty much straight away, or they are not recovering; their sickness is lingering into days of double digits (one person I know has been sick for 54 days!). The sick wonder with dread if they have the extended mix of the sickness, the long version: The Sickness – Uncut? They wonder if this is now them, forever.”

“I think the banana Republicans who are saying that what happened on January 6 was nothing or OK are undermining the basic credibility of our country’s institutions,” Summers said on Sunday in a CNN interview. “And that, in turn, feeds through for inflation. Because if you can’t trust the country’s government, why should you trust its money?”
