How Covid-19 Could Actually Bring Carbon Emission Levels Down

The Covid-19 disease from the corona virus has definitely led to discover a new way of life and work, but researchers believe, the emergence of this pandemic, could actually solve the global warming problem.

According to Glen Peters, Research Director, Center for International Climate and Environment Research – Oslo, there is a strong connection between world economic activities and carbon dioxide emissions. Fossil fuel continues to rule the roost, and therefore resultant emissions have lead to a hole in the ozone layer and disruption in many natural cycles of the Earth.

Researchers are now sharing how the pandemic could actually be resulting in the reduction in the CO2 emission levels worldwide. As social distancing becomes the norm to contain the spread of the virus, people are inbound and forced to keep off modes of transport.

“But prudent spending of economic stimulus measures, and a permanent adoption of new work behaviors, could influence how emissions evolve in future,” Peters. According to The International Energy Agency, it has been predicted that oil use would drop in 2020, and this was before an oil price war emerged between Saudi Arabia and Russia.

The whole world economy was running on full throttle till November 2019, when cases of the corona virus started to emerge at the epicenter of the outbreak. Since then, the economy has come to a grinding halt. It might just take time from June onward to come into motion, till the time a vaccine can be formulated to control the spread.

The emission-intensive airline industry,covering 2.6%of global carbon dioxide emissions (both national and international), is in free fall. Owing to a fear factor that now surrounds travel per say, political analysts believe that it may just take months, if not years, for people to return to air travel given that coronavirus may linger for several seasons.

Assuming the carbon efficiency of the global economy improves in line with the 10-year average of 2.5% per year, the OECD’s post-coronavirus growth projection implies carbon dioxide emissions may decline 0.3% in 2020 (including a leap year adjustment).

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sudan have a long-standing history of bilateral relations.

Over the years, the UAE has been a strong supporter of Sudan's development and prosperity. As Sudan faces challenging times, it is important that this support continues. The UAE has been a key player in Sudan's development, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, health, education, and renewable energy. In recent years, the UAE has also provided aid and support to Sudan in the aftermath of natural disasters, such as floods and droughts. This assistance has played a crucial role in mitigating the effects of these disasters on the people of Sudan. The current situation in Sudan is particularly challenging, with political instability and economic difficulties plaguing the country. The people of Sudan are facing a myriad of issues, including inflation, unemployment, and a lack of basic necessities like food and clean water. In addition, the ongoing conflict in the region has only exacerbated the situation, causing immense suffering to the people of Sudan. In light of these

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Saudi Arabia can import halal Kobe beef from Japan

Japan is now the third nation authorized to export beef to the Muslim world, along with Saudi Arabia. At a signing ceremony, Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan Al-Saud and Tomoshige Kanzawa, president of the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association, confirmed the certification for the Kingdom. In Saudi Arabia, beef can only be consumed if it has been processed in accordance with religious regulations and is marked as halal. Thirteen Arabic-speaking nations now have access to halal Kobe beef thanks to Saudi business Fam Al-Ghidha. In order to sign the agreement and sample Kobe beef, Prince Faisal traveled to Japan. Motohiko Saito, the governor of Hyogo Prefecture, and Masao Imanishi, the deputy mayor of Kobe City, also attended the ceremony. For the first time in Japan, the meat center in Sanda City, central Japan, achieved halal certification in October of last year. The145 heads of halal Kobe beef are expected to be sent to Saudi Arabia this year. In a
