Callous, but honest. "Earlier this month, Stuart Kirk, the head of responsible investment at the global bank HSBC, made headlines by suggesting that financial institutions should discount the risks of the climate crisis as the world could adapt to its impacts. He noted that Amsterdam was built on land below sea level, and suggested that areas climate scientists have predicted would be vulnerable to inundation, such as Miami, could be similarly adapted to cope with the risk. “Who cares if Miami is six metres under water in 100 years?” he asked an investor conference. HSBC moved quickly to disown Kirk’s comments and suspend him. " "suspended" ... with full pay no doubt. Lol. hsbc lol HSBC, Europe’s biggest bank, paid a $1.9 billion fine in 2012 to avoid prosecution for allowing at least $881 million in proceeds from the sale of illegal drugs. In addition to facilitating money laundering by drug cartels, evidence was found of HSBC moving money for Saudi banks tied to terrorist groups. Even though federal investigators found evidence “that senior bank officials were complicit in the illegal activity,” no HSBC executives faced charges for their actions. The Wall Street Journal revealed in 2016 that U.S. Justice Department officials, led by President Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder, overruled their prosecutors’ recommendation to pursue criminal charges against HSBC in 2012." "doing some terrorist stuff? Let us take the annoying red tape out for you! No questions asked!l" great corporate citizen. and Obama. 😂

1. War 2. Climate change causing great suffering, Africa. https://www.nrc.no/shorthand/fr/the-worlds-most-neglected-displacement-crises-in-2021/index.html Each year, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) publishes a list of the ten most neglected displacement crises in the world. The purpose is to focus on the plight of people whose suffering rarely makes international headlines, who receive no or inadequate assistance, and who never become the centre of attention for international diplomacy efforts. This is the list for 2021. For the first time, all of the ten crises are on the African continent. That many African countries are figuring high on the list is far from new. For example, the crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) has become a textbook example of neglect, featuring in this list six times in a row." Corruption and muslim jihadists.

Dru Brown info most important. John madden and dru played for the san mateo bulldogs! Also "His work ethic stood out to coaches Coming out of Los Gatos High School under the coaching of Mark Krail, Brown drew high praise as the hardest worker — and best player — on the football team. “When I coached him it was the best thing in the world because he was our best player clearly, but also our hardest worker,” said Krail. “So when your star is leading the pack in sprints and conditioning and drills, others tend to follow along.” His QB coach, Adam Tafralis, says his work ethic is what Brown worked on relentlessly to overcome his lack of size and tangible qualities that kept him from being a heavily recruited QB. “Dru’s a guy that understood that ‘OK I’m not being recruited as high, I’m not doing things coaches might not like, so I’m going to out-work everybody in the process.’ This weekend Oklahoma State added former Hawaii starting quarterback Dru Brown to the mix for 2018 via graduate transfer, giving the Cowboys a much-needed injection of experience to an inexperienced stable of gunslingers for 2018. Brown could potentially be a nice stopgap between the Mason Rudolph and Spencer Sanders eras, a quality backup, or even a quality starter. In two seasons with the Rainbow Warriors, he threw for 5,273 yards and 18 touchdowns while leading Hawaii to 9 wins during that span. You may have seen some of his highlights or, if you’re a diehard Rainbow Warriors fan (go Rainbow Warriors!), you perhaps even recognized the name of the team’s two-year starter. But for those who aren’t flush with knowledge of Hawaii football, here’s a refresher on what type of player OSU is getting. 1. Lightly recruited meant JC route Like current Cowboy Back Sione Finefeuiaki, Brown, a San Mateo, California native, went to College of San Mateo where he spent a season out of high school. Because of his diminutive frame and lower profile in high school, he wasn’t a hot commodity as a two-star prospect. Coming out of high school he had zero scholarship offers and took the junior college route out of necessity before accepting a scholarship offer, his only offer, to Hawaii after a one-season run in his home city two seasons ago. 2. His game is similar to that of Baker Mayfield I don’t mean to go en fuego on a hot take here, because to compare the two might be borderline blasphemous. But Brown has a sneaky good game and, like, Baker, is plenty mobile. Similar to Mayfield however, Brown’s not necessarily a run-first QB. But he has the ability to escape pressure, make throws on the run, and move the chains with his legs when needed. That will allow Cowboy coaches to roll him out, move the pocket, and give defenses unique looks it couldn’t do with Rudolph. He might also be a first-team all confidence starter like Mayfield, and I kind of dig it." "He should be familiar with OSU’s offense Making the leap from Hawaii to OSU might seem daunting, but the offense he comes from actually has a lot of similar concepts which could usher in a smooth transition. Hawaii, like OSU and many other programs, ran a lot of Run-Pass-Option (RPO) plays — plays that gave Brown the freedom to decipher if the team would run, if he would pass, or if he would tuck it down himself given what particular look the defense showed." ie... smart

Just saw a statistic.... bombers thirteen completions. 301 yards. Seems odd.

Some good new receivers on the bombers. Seen as a scouting issue in the past. nice to see both qb do good things.

Sask qb 8 might be better than fajardo

I am definitely looking forward to another season of odd/funny Rod Black posts.

Wierd eh?

"The price of recovering what was lost is nearing $9-billion, according to an analysis by The Globe and Mail, and potentially could be much higher. The outlays will challenge the existing cost-sharing arrangements between different levels of government for disasters of this magnitude. They also underscore how Canada’s mechanisms for financing disaster relief reward inertia. Extreme weather battered B.C. in 2021. A deadly heat wave arrived in June, followed by one of the province’s worst wildfire seasons on record. When record-breaking rains arrived in November, the fire-scarred landscape couldn’t absorb the moisture. The result was significant flooding and landslides from Vancouver Island to the Alberta border. Railways, hydro lines, pipelines, dikes, bridges and key highways were damaged, resulting in billions of dollars in economic losses. There was a point in mid-November when not a single rail or road route was open between Vancouver and the B.C. Interior – isolating Canada’s biggest port for more than a week, and interrupting national supply chains. Globe and mail

@blue_gold_84 what is going on is truly staggering. my 30 year old nephew And his wife just flew from regina to vancouver, simply to go to a concert. B.C. Government is promoting fracked gas, and lng. While...... B.C. In less than one year, 1. set a high temperature record, in litton, which broke the previous high, by a greater percent than any record in world history 2. had the flood that closed the transcansda, caused billions in damage, and I wonder if it it might be the most expensive event in our history. NDP - Green coalition. so, no sanity from any side. And most people havent got a clue about whats in store.

@blue_gold_84 Latest UN report. "That paper, ‘Pandemics, Climate Extremes, Tipping Points and the Global Catastrophic Risk – How these Impact Global Targets’, offers an in-depth scenario analysis of global collapse risks based on how human activities are transgressing planetary boundaries. The paper is authored by Thomas Cernev, a researcher at the University of Cambridge’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. It finds that the continuation of ‘business as usual’ and a failure to invoke drastic policy changes means that human civilisation is moving inexorably toward collapse. “From the scenario analysis… it is evident that in the absence of ambitious policy and near global adoption and successful implementation, the world continually tends towards the global collapse scenario,” it says." The consequences of what we are doing, and failing to do, is going to dwarf every prior series of human actions combined.
