US President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to rejoin the Paris agreement and lead the world to confront challenges arising from climate change. Biden made the appointment on December 18 ahead of his inauguration as the President of the United States. 
“On day one, my administration will rejoin the Paris Agreement and put America back in the business of leading the world on climate change,” Biden stated on December 19. US president Donald Trump had led the country out of the Paris accord on June 2017.
In a televised announcement Trump stated that: “In order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect the United States and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord.” He argued that its terms were not fair to the American people and undermined its economy.
Biden’s team on climate action include Deb Haaland (Interior Secretary) , Jennifer Granholm (Energy Secretary), Michael Regan(Environmental Protection Agency Administrator), Brenda Mallory (Environmental Quality Council Chair), Gina McCarthy (National Climate Advisor) and Ali Zaidi (Deputy National Climate Advisor). 
According to Biden-Haris transition, the climate nominees and appointees “will make historic investments in environmental justice, build resilient communities and create well-paying jobs.” The team will work in liaison with experts, scientists and the affected communities to confront the most pressing challenges facing Americans.
Biden wrote on twitter that: “We have no time to waste to confront the climate crisis, protect our air and water, and deliver justice to communities that have long shouldered the burdens of environmental harms.”

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
