Why Joe Biden will Deny Trump Intelligence Briefings?

US president Joe Biden does not believe if former president Donald Trump deserves the privileges of access to intelligence briefings. Traditionally, Trump’s predecessors enjoyed the access to intelligence meetings. Biden was responding to an evening interview with CBS screen siren Norah O’Donell after he had been asked whether he would allow Trump to get the briefings.

Biden termed Trump’s behavior as “erratic” due to the incitement to insurrection where a section of Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2020. It was alleged that it was Trump who triggered his supporters to openly denounce electoral outcome and interfere with the session that was meant to certify Biden’s win.

Biden made the statement a week before the beginning of Trump’s second impeachment trial. Democrats-controlled House of Representatives successfully moved an impeachment motion.

Trump made history as the first president in the US history to be impeached twice. He, then, declined to attend the inauguration of his successor. Trump was blocked from both Facebook and Twitter and left White House a dejected man, with wife Melanie hurrying to dress in ‘civilian attire.’

Biden do not trust Trump with classified information and was quoted by the Guardian stating that: “I just think there is no need for him to have access to intelligence briefings. What is the value of giving him intelligence briefing? What impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and say something?”

Tit-for-tat is a fare game. When Biden was declared as president-elect, Trump denied him access to intelligent meetings, in what was seen as a move to delay the transition.

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 Mt Kenya Leaders are wary about Change of Guard

As 2022 succession battle gains momentum in Kenya, leaders drawn from Mt Kenya region have become more concerned of their political future and survival. Mt Kenya region is predominantly occupied by the agikuyu, ameru and aembu communities. The region has produced three out of the four presidents. It boosts about the tyranny of numbers, thus making the region a battle ground for leaders from other region seeking to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta. Central alone produced Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta as presidents. The only other Kenyan president drawn out of the region was Daniel Arap Moi.

Deputy President William Ruto has taken advantage of the brewing rebellion through making serious political forays in Central and its vicinity. ODM leader Rail...
