Raila’s ‘I won’t endorse anyone’ Remarks Spark Acrimony from his NASA Counterparts

ODM leader Raila Odinga has received sharp backlash over his remarks that he “won’t endorse anyone.” Raila had accused his NASA colleagues for failing to show up at his illegal swearing-in at Uhuru Park. Musalia Mudavadi’s ANC Party released a statement on Sunday in reaction to Raila’s sentiments.
“It’s not our wish to get into a spat with Raila. However, it’s important that Raila learn to speak the truth. Mr Raila knows what he alleges against his colleagues is exactly what he did to them – lied to them before sneaking to Uhuru Park,” the statement read in parts. 
The message further read: “In Raila’s own words, he faked a swearing-in to accelerate his yearning for a handshake with Uhuru.” 
In a similar tone Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka lambasted Raila and said that he could not have participated in an illegal and unconstitutional oath. 
Earlier on, Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula articulated that Raila ought to return his favor for the decade-old support they had given him. 
Raila Odinga has hinted of a new coalition and brushed off the idea of supporting anyone else. As the battle for Uhuru’s succession rages on, politics of betrayal and deceit seem to have taken space. Just like Raila and his NASA colleagues, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto are also reading from different political scripts.
On his part, Ruto ruled out the idea of pitching for endorsement and attributed the power of authorization to the people of Kenya. In an analogous cadence, Kalonzo changed tact and echoed Ruto’s phrase for not pursuing for Raila’s endorsement.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why World Tycoons Should Emulate Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, in the Battle against Climate Change

The silent biggest global pandemic is global warming. Global problem deserves global attention; and that is why world moguls and leaders should use their influence to initiate change that can positively impact the world. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has consistently advocated for environment conservation and has been a key personality in the battle against climate change . Gates keen focus has been to increasing access to clean electricity in remote parts of the world. As a key defender of the environment, he is quoted by the Guardian saying that: “The idea of adding new electricity capacity- you can’t just go build coal plants.” The Guardian reported that Gates likes using private jets because he can get affordable fuel for flight. He revealed that he has already footed the bill of carbon footprint to a group dubbed Climeworks , a firm that captures up direct air in Iceland. Gates pointed out that the future of vehicles travels lie with electric cars; but excluded the el...
