UN chief convenes ‘no nonsense’ climate summit, without China or US
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is set Wednesday to host a climate meeting marred at its outset by the absence of speakers from the world's top two emitters, China and the United States. Despite increasing extreme weather events and record-shattering global temperatures, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and fossil fuel companies reap handsome profits. Guterres has thus billed the "Climate Ambition Summit" as a "no nonsense" forum where leaders or cabinet ministers will announce specific actions that deliver on their commitments under the Paris Agreement. The bar for making the podium was set high, with the UN chief making clear that only leaders who had made concrete plans to achieve net-zero greenhouse emissions would be allowed to speak. After receiving more than 100 applications to take part, the UN finally released a list on Tuesday night of 41 speakers which did not include China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or India. "Tomorrow, I will welcome credible first movers and doers to our Climate Ambition Summit," Guterres said Tuesday. Several major leaders didn't bother making the trip to New York for this year's UN General Assembly, including President Xi Jinping of China and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak from the United Kingdom, who said he was too busy. US President Joe Biden, who addressed the General Assembly on Tuesday, sent his climate envoy John Kerry to the meeting -- though Kerry won't be permitted to speak. "There's no doubt that the absence of so many leaders from the world's biggest economies and emitters will clearly have an impact on the outcomes of the summit," Alden Meyer of climate think tank E3G said. He blamed competing issues -- from the Ukraine conflict to US-China tensions and rising economic uncertainty. "But I think it's also the opposition in many of these countries from the fossil fuel industry and other powerful interests to the kind of transformational changes that are needed," said Meyer. Catherine Abreu, executive director of nonprofit Destination Zero, said it was "perhaps a good-news story that we see Biden not being given a speaking slot at the summit" because the United States is continuing to expand fossil fuel projects even as it makes historic investments in renewables. "I think about this as being a correction from past summits, where leaders have been given the opportunity to take credit for climate leadership on the global stage, while they continue to pursue plans to develop fossil fuels, and continue driving the climate crisis back at home," she added. While the United States won't take the rostrum, California will be represented by Governor Gavin Newsom. From Britain, London Mayor Sadiq Khan will also attend. Growing anger The event is the biggest climate summit in New York since 2019, when Greta Thunberg stunned the world with her "How Dare You" speech before the UN. Anger is building among climate activists, particularly younger people, who turned out in thousands last weekend for the "March to End Fossil Fuels" in New York. Observers are eager however to see what Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and European Union President Ursula von der Leyen say both on their own goals and on financing commitments for the developing world. The failure of advanced economies, responsible for the majority of historic emissions, to honor their promises to the worst affected lower-income nations has long been a sore point in climate talks. There are some bright spots, including the announcement that Colombia and Panama are joining a grouping called the Powering Past Coal Alliance -- particularly notable as Colombia is the world's sixth biggest coal exporter. Wednesday's summit comes weeks ahead of the COP28 climate talks in the United Arab Emirates, where goals include tripling renewable energy by 2030, and ending by 2050 the generation of fossil fuel energy that isn't "abated" by carbon capture technology.

Senators mourn passing of former Senator Rodolfo Biazon
Senators on Monday expressed their deepest condolences and sympathy to the family of former Senator and Armed Forces chief of staff Rodolfo Biazon, who passed away earlier in the day at the age of 88. Shortly after Muntinlupa Mayor Rufino Biazon announced his father’s death due to lung cancer, senators paid their tributes to the former lawmaker. Senate President Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri described the passing of Biazon as “bittersweet,” as it coincided with the country’s 125th Independence Day. “This is a bittersweet Independence Day, as the nation mourns the passing of Senator Rodolfo Biazon, one of our staunchest defenders of the peace and democracy that we are enjoying today,” Zubiri said in a statement. He noted that he considered it a “gift” to have been a novice senator during a time when Biazon was still in office. “I had the great fortune of learning from him, and being inspired by his uncompromising public service — not just as a veteran legislator but also as a veteran military man, having been the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces. He brought that same military discipline and commitment to his work in the Senate, and to every aspect of his life as a public servant,” he said. “I am grateful for the time that we spent in the Senate together, and I am glad we had one last chance to reconnect with him last October when he attended the Senate reunion. He was as bright and astute as ever, and a fountain of guidance and wisdom for those of us currently in the Senate,” he added. He continued: “My prayers and condolences go out to his family, friends and to the people whom he served with dedication as a senator, congressman and as a member of the uniformed service.” ‘True officer, public servant’ Likewise, Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda paid her tribute to Biazon, whom she described as a “true officer and public servant.” “His unwavering commitment to our nation's security and welfare will forever be remembered. He can now peacefully rest in the arms of our Creator,” Legarda said in a separate statement. “I express my deepest sympathies and condolences to his wife Monchie, and children Richie, Rino and Mayor Ruffy. We pray that in this time of grief, they may find comfort in our prayers and heartfelt condolences,” she added. Meanwhile, Senator Risa Hontiveros said she is one with the nation in mourning the passing of Biazon, who was a “great soldier, statesman, and solon.” “He passed on this Independence Day, a reminder of his formidable, lifelong fight for our Inang Bayan,” Hontiveros said. “Indeed, much can be said about all that he has done for the Filipino people, from his time as a Philippine Marine to his years in Congress, but what remained true all throughout was his unwavering love for the Philippines.” The lady lawmaker recalled the “unforgettable moment” when she personally met Biazon at the EDSA Shrine in 2001. “Long before I met him in person, I read about Sen. Pong in an 1981 Who magazine feature about his being a Marines commander in Davao. I remember being taken by his critical mind and his respect for human rights, qualities essential for an officer and a gentleman,” she said. “Years later, I finally met him at the EDSA Shrine just when EDSA Dos was unfolding. It was unforgettable not only because he had a crushing handshake, but also because it was the start of the many struggles we fought together,” she added. Hontiveros also highlighted Biazon’s dedication to serving the nation even when he was no longer in office. “When the former administration could not express a clear stance vis-a-vis China’s incursions in the West Philippine Sea, Sen. Pong did not hold back from calling on our top officials to take a united position against China,” she said. “Time and again, when he saw that our nation was in peril, he stepped out from his private life and gave us public servants clarity and a sense of direction,” she added. She also commended Biazon for being a “steady source of strength for us women and women’s advocates in our fight for the passage of the Reproductive Health Law.” “Regarded as macho due to his military background, he challenged stereotypes to stand not just for, but with women,” she said. “That was Sen. Pong I knew — never afraid to stand up and speak out for what is right even when others wouldn’t. Goodbye, sir. Thank you very much for your never-ending love for the Philippines,” she added. Biazon served as a senator for two consecutive terms, from 1992 to 1995 after being convinced to run for office by Paul Aquino, the brother of the late Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. Three years after his first stint as senator, he was elected again in 1998 and continued to serve until 2010.

Brazilians say emotional goodbye to rock icon Rita Lee
Fans flocked to a Sao Paulo park Wednesday to say an emotional farewell to Brazil's "Queen of Rock," the trailblazing singer-songwriter Rita Lee, who died this week at age 75. Brazil is holding three days of national mourning for the Latin Grammy-winning icon, who shot to fame in the 1960s with the legendary band Os Mutantes and captivated the country across a five-decade career with her rebellious spirit and irreverent songs on sex, love, and freedom. Standing in the rain, hundreds of fans joined a long line that formed early Wednesday outside the planetarium at Sao Paulo's Ibirapuera Park, where a public wake was held for Lee, as she had requested. "She was a woman before her time, a genius," said 27-year-old fan Barbarhat Sueyassu. "She's our biggest national symbol of women's rock," she told AFP. Inside the planetarium dome, fans filed past Lee's simple brown coffin -- some in tears, some singing her songs. Lee, a leading figure in the "Tropicalismo" movement that revolutionized Brazilian music amid the country's 1964-1985 military dictatorship, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021. She died Monday at home in Sao Paulo, her family said. With her eye-grabbing outfits, bright red hair, and colored sunglasses, Lee was a national fixture across the decades in Brazil, releasing more than 30 albums and racking up hits including "Ovelha Negra" (1975), "Mania de Voce" (1979) and "Lanca Perfume" (1980). Her body will be cremated in a private ceremony, in line with her wishes, her family said. The post Brazilians say emotional goodbye to rock icon Rita Lee appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
