World diary early 2024, and my views.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles. 

              Wars bring only destruction, see the photo below. 
 

This photo above shows the destruction in the Gaza strip. Anyhow, at a news conference on Friday Mr. Netanyahu said that his country had "exacted a heavy price from Hamas" Not everything is known to the public yet, nor to Hamas, but the full range of the achievements will be reveled soon. 
  

We are writing these articles, to remind us of what has happened during our lives. Anyhow, we are at the beginning of a new year, and we all hope that the year 2024 brings better things, because most of us are struggling to make sense of what is happening around us. You see, we can say that another year is gone and what humanity has achieved this last year is not much, as we cannot find any improvement at all. Perhaps we are worse off, since there is another war going on in the Middle East, and even worse this war between Israel and Hamas can escalate, because most Arabic countries side with Hamas, and there have been attempts to stop shipping at the exit of the Red Sea into the Gulf of Aden.

Strange as it may seem, the world is still finding ways to start a war, instead of trying harder how to avoid wars.

So, let us hope that this does not start larger war. 

Now, let us see what the internet news has reported, about the war between Israel and Hamas on the Gaza strip. And I quote. 

---------------------- 

Talks to agree a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza were "not very promising" in recent days, mediator Qatar said.

Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said he remained optimistic, but added "time is not in our favour".

It comes as Israel's Prime Minister said he would press ahead with plans for a Rafah ground invasion, despite growing international pressure.

 

Hamas has blamed Israel for a lack of progress in achieving a ceasefire deal.

Talks have been taking place in Cairo as senior officials from the US, Israel, Egypt and Qatar meet to try to broker a pause in fighting.

"The pattern in the last few days are not really very promising but, as I always repeat, we will always remain optimistic and will always remain pushing," said Sheik Mohammed, speaking at a meeting of world leaders at the Munich Security Conference.

"I believe in this agreement we are talking at a bigger scale and we still see some difficulties on the humanitarian part of these negotiations," he added.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he sent negotiators following a request from US President Joe Biden, but added they did not return for further discussions because Hamas's demands were "delusional".

The group has laid out a series of demands, including the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, the full withdrawal of Israel's forces and an end to the war after three 45-day truces.

(End of quote about the Gaza Strip war.

--------------------------------

We know that the war between the Israelite and the Arabs has been on and off for thousands of years. We also believe that this cannot be the last war because there will be many people hurt, but they need to find the strength how to live in a more peaceful way. But it is hard to find peace.   

As we have said. Strange as it may seem, the world is still finding ways to start a war, instead of trying harder how to avoid wars. And what can be done we do not know.

               Photo of world leaders meeting in Kiev Ukraine. 

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky and world leaders participate in a joint media conference in Kyiv, Ukraine, on February 24, President Zelensky has marked the second anniversary of Russia invasion, that his country will succeed, by they need help.     

About the Ukraine war.

Anyhow, to understand what is happening in Ukraine, the best way is to post what I found on the internet. 

(And I quote).  

  • Zelensky said Trump should go with him to see the 'real war' but added 'it depends on his wishes'
  • Harris pledged support to Ukraine and said they must stop the 'aggressor' Russia or Putin would 'keep going' 

President Zelensky invited Donald Trump to go 'to the front line' to see the 'real war' while Kamala Harris pledged 'unwavering' support to Ukraine despite aid stalling in Congress

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, Vice President Harris stood by Zelensky as she said 'we must be unwavering and we cannot play political games' as it would allow Putin 'to take land with impunity' and 'keep going'. 

But Congress, led by a Republican majority, has been stalled for months over further aid for Ukraine, with $47 billion, as part of a $66 billion aid and migration package, currently stuck.

Meanwhile at the conference, when asked whether it would be a good idea to invite former president Trump to Kyiv, Zelensky said: 'I invited him publicly, but it depends on his wishes.'

'If ... he will come, I'm ready even to go with him to the front line,' he said and promised he would show him the 'real war away from Instagram’. (End of quote)

Anyhow, wars have many sides and many reasons why they happen, and people judge wars according to the side they happen to be in, and they think that the side they are in is always right, because they are told from their leader, that it is so. But non all the leaders can be trusted, and know what they are doing, for instance. Vladimir Putin a few years ago, seemed to be one of those leaders that could not go wrong. But today from the western side of the fence, so to speak, Putin cannot be trusted. You see he started a war that could easily be avoided. Today they say that Putin has ordered the elimination of one of his political opponents. Now this man is dead, and his body cannot be found. If what they are saying is true, how can you trust a man like that. Anyhow, from that the live in the western world, we are waiting to see, what the Russian people are going to do, are they continuing to trust Putin, or are they going to vote Putting out of office?  

Now let us go back to talk about wars, here I am afraid to say that war do not achieve anything good, they only destroy humanity, in many ways. So, in would be helpful if humanity learns how to avoid wars, and concentrate how to keep this planet safe, one of the things they need to work out, is how to stop the climate warming getting worse. So, let us talk about that.

---------------------- 

               These are some of the causes of climatic change. 


Today the weather seems to be hotter than before, and we have a lot of violent storms, the future forecast is even worse, so, we must be worried, and we should do something about it. The main cause seems to be fossil burning, like you see in this picture, so we need to do something about it.  


Our climate warming concerns.

Today we have so much technology and we should be able to solve our climatic problems, but it does not work that well, because we do not make it the most important priority. So, I am afraid to say that we might be running out of time soon, and we will we living on a much hotter planet soon. They say that because the polar ice melts, there could be other changes as well, which can result in some places being colder. Just like in the film, The Day After Tomorrow. Anyhow, when they made the film, we thought that it would never happen, but today with everything changing, even that could be possible.

 Anyhow, let us see what is happening in Australia, and hereunder are some reports that I have found on the internet.   

(And I quote)  

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast heatwave conditions for Western Australia over the coming days.

Temperatures broke records at the weekend, nudging 50 degrees on Sunday in Gascoyne and Central West, marking some of Australia's hottest temperatures ever recorded.

 It was the highest temperature recorded in the world so far in 2024 and the hottest day of summer in the country.

Today temperatures will hit 42 degrees and 39 on Tuesday.

Ex-Cyclone Lincoln is drifting towards the Western state, however fire risk remains high.) (End of quote).

----------------------------

I hope you can see what I mean. Today politicians continue to make the same mistakes. They fight wars, they spend so much time in organizing how to win their seat in next election and other things. But they do not spend enough time to solve the most important problem, climatic warming.

Anyhow, I hope that in the near future, the elected politicians make global warming their first priority. This is all I can say in this article, because it is becoming too long.
