John Kerry will make the decision to leave his post as US special envoy for climate, choosing to direct his support to Joe Biden’s new candidacy for president of the United States.

++ Trump says he knows who he will choose as vice president, but does not reveal the name

As the primaries begin this Monday in the country, former Republican President Donald Trump emerges as the party’s favorite, despite his history as a climate denier and his impact on US environmental policies.

++ Biden says he will not support Taiwan independence

Trump, recently named by The Economist magazine as the biggest global threat in 2024, due not only to possible geopolitical tensions, but also to the risk of weakening international agreements to combat climate change, is being fought by Kerry behind the scenes of the Democratic campaign.

As he leaves the front lines as special envoy and transitions to the role of behind-the-scenes supporter of Biden’s campaign, Kerry will continue to play a vital role on climate issues. Former Secretary of State and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry, known for his stature and vast experience, plans to contribute to narrating the importance of climate issues in the context of Biden’s campaign. Kerry believes a second term for Joe Biden would make a significant difference to global progress in the fight against the climate crisis. His crucial participation in mediating the Paris climate agreement in 2015 and his role in reaching consensus at COP28 in the United Arab Emirates emphasize his commitment to the transition from fossil fuels to lower-emitting energy sources.

Carmelo Anthony criticizes RJ Barrett’s performance for the Knicks

0

Carmelo Anthony expressed his opinion on the trade involving RJ Barrett at the Knicks, revealing that he is not particularly a fan of the shooting guard’s performance. During his podcast “7PM in Brooklyn”, the former player, who has a special connection with the New York Knicks, tried to approach the negotiation in a political way, but was unable to hide his criticisms.

He described Barrett as a player without much emotion, mentioning that, although he is skilled, he cannot excite the crowd. Anthony highlighted the unpredictability of Barrett’s performance, pointing out that he can score both four and 26 points in a game, as well as commenting on the player’s “bland” personality.

The trade involved Barrett and Immanuel Quickley being sent to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for OG Anunoby. Anthony argued that Anunoby is a better fit for the Knicks because he can play a similar role to Barrett without requiring as significant a role in the offense. He praised Anunoby’s defensive ability and suggested that Barrett, by contrast, needed to score his 20 points to feel like he was contributing.

Anthony believes the trade will benefit Anunoby, considering Barrett, as the third offensive option behind Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, might not be the best choice for the Knicks. He speculated that Barrett was already thinking about finding more space on another team, and the trade could serve the interests of both parties.

“We are clearly going through difficulties. There is nothing to celebrate. I don’t see it specifically. To be honest, I’m booing myself, booing our team because of the way we’re playing. Fans have the right to react however they want. It’s our responsibility to give them something to celebrate, and we’re not doing that,” Curry said.

The boos started pouring in after the loss to the Toronto Raptors at Chase Center. On that occasion, number 30, who had been the positive highlight of the season, performed below expectations, scoring just nine points. Days later, the team suffered a resounding defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans, 141 to 105, being the worst setback since Curry’s selection in the 2009 Draft. Coach Steve Kerr also criticized the team, pointing out the loss of spirit, trust and belief as contributing factors to the current negative moment. He mentioned the need to explore different tactics to overcome this difficult phase.

The result exceeded expectations, considering that Paramount Pictures even considered releasing the musical remake of the 2004 classic directly on Paramount+ streaming and only decided to go to the big screen after carrying out tests with the audience.

The producer was also careful not to sell the film as a musical so as not to scare away viewers. “By saying ‘musical, musical, musical’ you can alienate the audience.

I want everyone to maintain the same temperature,” explained Marc Weinstock, president of global marketing at Paramount.

The artist stated that the articles published about her, as well as her divorce with the actor, helped her to overcome the end of the relationship. “It wasn’t bad. I think, you know, I have to say the press was very respectful and very kind. And I thought they were going to make up more stuff and you know how it usually goes,” she said.
