Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

Storms, floods, wildfires — and to a lesser degree, conflict — uprooted 40.5 million people around the world in 2020. It was the largest number in more than a decade, according to figures published Thursday by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center, a nonprofit group based in Geneva that tracks displacement data annually.

It was all the more notable as it came during the worst global pandemic in a century.

Extreme weather events, mainly storms and floods, accounted for the vast majority of the displacement. While not all of those disasters could be linked to human-induced climate change, the Center’s report made clear that global temperature rise, fueled by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, “are increasing the intensity and frequency of weather-related hazards.”

Last May, Cyclone Amphan alone displaced five million people in Bangladesh and India, as it whipped across the Bay of Bengal, downed trees and power lines, and destroyed thousands of buildings. In Bangladesh, weeks later, torrential rains upstream swelled rivers, submerging a quarter of the country and taking away the assets of its people — their homes built of mud and tin, their chickens and livestock, their sacks of rice stored for the lean times.

In November, two ferocious hurricanes, Eta and Iota, pummeled Central America in quick succession, washing away bridges, uprooting trees and causing widespread flooding and deadly mudslides. The 2020 hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season on record, with 30 named storms, 13 of them hurricanes.

In the United States, rising temperatures and sea level rise have made flooding more frequent, particularly along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, and the rate of that flooding is quickening, according to United States government researchers. At many locations, “floods are now at least five times more common than they were in the 1950s,” according to figures published recently by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Headlines

As Rich Countries Reopen, COVID-19 Strikes Poor Countries (Foreign Policy) While rich countries strategize on reopening, it’s the poorer ones that are seeing the number of new cases jump: Of the top ten countries with the highest daily jump in coronavirus cases yesterday, only one high-income country—the United States—made the list. In rich countries, the poor are dying disproportionately. But it’s not just a disparity between rich nations and poor ones. The poor within rich societies are also dying disproportionately as the pandemic exposes vast inequalities. A report released by the APM Research Lab showed that race is a determining factor in coronavirus deaths in the United States—a country where a typical white family has a net worth ten times higher than a typical black family. The APM study showed that black Americans are dying at more than twice the rate as white Americans. Some developing countries, such as Vietnam, have weathered the crisis far better than wealthier ones; others, like Liberia, have provided valuable lessons in controlling outbreaks based on their past experiences with diseases such as Ebola. Still, as the number of infections rises, poorer governments will face even more daunting challenges. For some countries, simply accessing regularly running water is a challenge, especially when regular handwashing has become so important to coronavirus prevention.

Coronavirus-triggered layoffs in US hit nearly 39 million (AP) The number of Americans thrown out of work since the coronavirus crisis struck two months ago has climbed to nearly 39 million, the government said Thursday. More than 2.4 million people applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest wave of layoffs from the outbreak that has triggered nationwide business shutdowns and brought the economy to its knees, the Labor Department reported. That brings the running total to a staggering 38.6 million. An additional 2.2 million sought aid under a new federal program for self-employed, contractor and gig workers, who are now eligible for unemployment benefits for the first time.

Global and U.S. oil prices continue to climb (Washington Post) Global and U.S. oil prices continued to climb Thursday, indicating a potential reversal of the prolonged downturn in prices that had rattled analysts and governments. Brent crude LCOc1 for July, the international oil benchmark, stood at $36.45 a barrel as of 5:25 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday. In April, the oil benchmark had dropped to a two-decade low, falling below $16 a barrel amid a global drop in demand.

U.S. military personnel can be tracked with a beer app (Foreign Policy) The digital sleuths at Bellingcat report that the comings and goings of U.S. military personnel at bases around the world can be traced through a beer-rating mobile app, Untappd. The app logs hundreds of time-stamped data location points for its users. This allowed Bellingcat researcher to track a U.S. drone pilot, a naval officer in Guantanamo Bay, and the travel patterns of a senior U.S. intelligence officer—all gleaned from cross-referencing data in the app with other social media platforms.

Ecuador’s largest city eases quarantine as COVID-19 deaths decline (Reuters) Ecuador’s largest city allowed some businesses to reopen on Wednesday following a fall in daily deaths from the coronavirus pandemic that had for weeks required the city to remain in quarantine. Guayaquil in March and April faced a brutal outbreak of the virus that left hospitals overwhelmed and authorities struggling to collect the bodies of presumed COVID-19 victims. Guayaquil’s municipal government said in a social media video that daily death rates linked to COVID-19 in Guayaquil had dropped to around 10 per day in May from a peak of 460 in April.

Russian doctors face hostility, mistrust (AP) There are no daily public displays of gratitude for Russian doctors and nurses during the coronavirus crisis like there are in the West. Instead of applause, they face mistrust, low pay and even open hostility. Antipathy toward the medical profession is widespread in Russia, said social anthropologist Alexandra Arkhipova, who studies social media posts peddling virus conspiracy theories. More than 100 theories she studied say doctors diagnose COVID-19 cases so they can get more money; others say they help the government cover up the outbreak. “It’s a crisis of trust that the epidemic underscored,” she said. “I haven’t seen this attitude anywhere else.” Trust in government institutions has always been low in Russia, according to opinion polls, and most of its hospitals are state-run.

Sikh kitchens feed New Delhi’s masses in virus lockdown (AP) At first, the kitchen at the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara cooked 40,000 meals each day for the hungry who live on the streets of India’s capital city, or who have lost their livelihoods to the coronavirus lockdown. But the need was greater than that. So workers at the golden-domed temple in central New Delhi made 80,000 meals daily. Then 100,000. Soon, they expect to be making 300,000—all provided free to the growing ranks of the unfortunate. For centuries the faithful have flocked to the temple for its healing waters and a free meal at the community kitchen, the symbol of equality found at every Sikh temple complex and open to all visitors. Bangla Sahib has kept its kitchen open, with the help of about four dozen men who sleep at the temple’s guesthouse. To save time commuting to and from the temple and avoid the risk of infecting loved ones, they haven’t seen their families since the lockdown began March 25. In colorful turbans and cloth bandanas tied over their noses and mouths, they work in the industrial kitchen in 18-hour shifts.

Cyclone kills at least 82 in India, Bangladesh, causes widespread flooding (Reuters) The most powerful cyclone to strike eastern India and Bangladesh in over a decade killed at least 82 people, officials said, as rescue teams scoured devastated coastal villages, hampered by torn down power lines and flooding over large tracts of land. Mass evacuations organised by authorities before Cyclone Amphan made landfall undoubtedly saved countless lives, but the full extent of the casualties and damage to property would only be known once communications were restored, officials said.

The summer of discontent (NYT) Intent on preventing a reprise of anti-government protests that drew millions to the streets here last summer, Beijing is moving to block Hong Kong’s avenues for dissent—and its capacity to resist full absorption into China. With pro-democracy protests reemerging as fears of the novel coronavirus ease, the coming weeks will probably reveal whether China’s approach can work, or if shutting off peaceful means of resistance will drive more people to the streets and to more extreme tactics. Authorities in recent days have tightened their grip on Hong Kong’s legislature, curtailed the city’s constitutional right to freedom of assembly and a free media, and cracked down on high-profile activists who have campaigned for full democracy for the former British colony. In the quest to neutralize opposition, Beijing’s allies in Hong Kong’s legislature forcibly seized control Monday of a committee that determines what bills are brought before lawmakers. That move clears their path to push through laws sought by Beijing, starting with a bill that would make it a criminal offense to disrespect China’s national anthem. Western officials are growing increasingly alarmed at the rapid deterioration of the financial center’s political freedoms, which China pledged to preserve until 2047.

Quarantine and a monitoring bracelet for Hong Kong returnees (AP) It sits on your wrist, just as a wristwatch would. And in a moment when the world fears infections more than almost anything, it knows exactly where you are. Since late March, residents returning to Hong Kong have been required to undergo a two-week quarantine at home, in a hotel or at a government facility as part of stepped-up efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus. To ensure people don’t flout quarantine, the semi-autonomous Chinese city issued mandatory wristbands to all arrivals, to be worn for the entirety of the two-week period. Those required to go through the two-week quarantine are unable to leave their homes and must rely on food or grocery delivery for meals. Government officers also conduct random checks on their homes to make sure they have not broken quarantine.

New Zealand opens bars as more curbs eased, four-day work week idea floated (Reuters) Bars and pubs opened in New Zealand for the first time in months on Thursday, as restrictions to limit the spread of the coronavirus were eased further and the government looked to revive economic activity. The hospitality and tourism sectors were worst hit by the pandemic, as New Zealand enforced some of the tightest social restrictions in the world to stop the spread of the coronavirus. With international travel still banned, Ardern has encouraged businesses to consider allowing a four-day work week so New Zealanders can travel around the country to help the battered tourism industry.

Vatican reiterates two-state solution as Israeli-Palestinian relations escalate (RNS) Once again, the Vatican issued a statement reinforcing its support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, after the recently installed government of Israel announced plans to vote for the annexation of the West Bank territory. “The Holy See reiterates that respect for international law and the relevant United Nations resolutions, is an indispensable element for the two peoples to live side by side in two States, within the borders internationally recognized before 1967,” read the Vatican statement, sent to journalists on Wednesday (May 20).

China’s Expands Spy Ambitions in Africa (Foreign Policy) In 2018, the African Union accused China of infiltrating the computer network in its glitzy new headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to steal sensitive data—a task made easier by the fact that China itself built the headquarters. But it likely didn’t stop there. In recent years, China has quietly embarked on government building projects across Africa that add up to a counterintelligence nightmare for the United States and its partners on the continent, according to new research from the Heritage Foundation. China has constructed or renovated nearly 200 government buildings, gifted batches of computers to African governments, and built “secure” telecommunications networks that give Beijing the opportunity for unprecedented surveillance on the continent. The report analyzes how China’s construction projects are a trojan horse for spying on African governments, based on China’s long-standing pattern of using its foreign infrastructure projects for political advantage and industrial espionage.

Even Amid a Pandemic, More Than 40 Million People Fled Their Homes Storms, floods, wildfires — and to a lesser degree, conflict — uprooted 40.5 million people around the world in 2020. It was the largest number in more than a decade, according to figures published Thursday by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center, a nonprofit group based in Geneva that tracks displacement data annually.

At many locations, “floods are now at least five times more common than they were in the 1950s,” according to figures published recently by the Environmental Protection Agency. Last year’s displacement numbers come as this year’s Atlantic hurricane season approaches. Scientists have projected the season will see above-normal storm activity. Climate change has led to wetter storms because warmer air holds more moisture. And while the links between climate change and hurricanes are complex, recent research suggests that warming has made stalled Atlantic storms more common. That can be more destructive because they linger in one place for a longer period of time. The largest numbers of displaced people, mostly weather-related, were in Asia, with five million in China, roughly 4.4 million each in Bangladesh and the Philippines, and 3.9 million in India. The United States recorded 1.7 million displacements. Conflict-related displacement was highest in the Democratic Republic of Congo at 2.2 million and Syria at 1.8 million.

MAXIMISE SPACE, MINIMISE FOOTPRINT WITH WOHR AUTOMATED CAR PARKING SYSTEMS.

Automated car parking systems is a trend that's here to stay. Across the world, real estate developers and municipal agencies have come to realise that scarcity of parking space is a very real problem that requires urgent consideration. The added problems of air pollution, wastage of time and fuel, traffic congestion, etc. make this situation even more serious.

The automatic car parking system is one of the best innovations of our times. It is a multi-level parking system in which cars are parked vertically, thereby using less ground space. The automatic car parking system typically has horizontal pallets or carts in each level and a vertical lift that carries the cars from the drive level to and from the different floors for parking and retrieving.

The driver is removed from the parking process. The car is driven to an entry point where the driver and passengers exit the car. It is then automatically transported to its allotted space.

Automated car parking systems are made of steel that can withstand high pressure and tension. A case in point is Wohr's Combiparker 555 installed outdoors, at a commercial complex in Kolkata, West Bengal. In August 2020, when Cyclone Amphan wreaked havoc on the state, bringing trees, buildings and other structures to the ground, the Combiparker withstood the onslaught with unshakeable strength and tenacity. Needless to add, Wohr Parking Systems are justifiably proud of this automatic car parking system project.

Features of automatic car parking systems

- A combination of stacking and moving cars closer together

- Uses state of the art servo drives and electronic guidance systems

- Typical parking time is 1 minute

- Horizontal pallets in each level optimises parking and retrieval time

- Modular construction to suit space availability at site

- Requires constant power supply

Advantages of automatic car parking systems

- Parking space i.e. depth, width and height reduced substantially since there is no opening of doors or humans allowed near the parked vehicle. This compacts even more cars in less space

- Can be constructed and operational faster than traditional parking lots

- Can extend up to 50 levels height

- Easy operation with several control options, e.g. transponder chip or remote control

- Site security: with a variety of transponder form factors that can be mounted on or within the vehicle, people can enter a secured area without opening a door or a window to obtain authorization.

- No expensive ventilation and lighting system needed

- No ramps or driving lanes

- Less accidents

- Security from thefts and car damage

- Runs smoothly, swiftly and quietly

- Easier for specially abled people

- Cost-effective technology

- Eliminates the need for parking attendants

- Can be installed indoors or outdoors; above ground or underground

- Suitable for car rentals, car service centres, multiplex, shopping mall, office buildings, industries, educational institutes, residential buildings, etc.

Conclusion

Global experience, comprehensive range, best-in-class manufacturing and quality standards make Wohr the partner of choice for automated car parking systems. It is the world's leading car parking systems manufacturer offering a wide range of semi-automated and fully automatic parking systems to suit different requirements and budgets. Better still, Wohr collaborates with architects and developers from the blueprint stage and customizes solutions for optimal results.

For decades, Wohr has been concentrating on developing the most innovative, user-friendly and safe car parking systems. Today, it’s variety and number of models, and track record of proven installations on the ground, are hard to beat. The 700,000+ parking spaces installed globally, and the 100,000+ in India speak volumes for Wohr’s expertise.

2020 set to be 1 of 3 warmest years ever recorded: UN body

NEW DELHI: The year 2020 is on track to be one of three warmest years on record while the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) continued to rise despite the Covid-19 lockdown, leading to further warming of the planet, said the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) in its annual ‘State of the Global Climate’ report. The report, released on Wednesday and based on data from January-October, noted that the average global temperature in 2020 is set to be about 1.2°C above the pre-industrial (1850-1900) level and there is at least a one in five chance of it temporarily exceeding 1.5°C by 2024 — the warming average considered quite disastrous for the globe. It observed that 2011-2020 will be the warmest decade on record, with the warmest six years all being since 2015. Though the report, whose final version will be released in March next year, doesn’t talk about country-specific temperature rise figures, it flagged a number of extreme weather events in many countries, including in India such as cyclone ‘Amphan’, calling it the “the costliest tropical cyclone on record for the North Indian Ocean, with reported economic losses in India of approximately US$14 billion”. Besides ‘Amphan’, the report also noted above normal monsoon which India experienced as one of the two wettest monsoon seasons since 1994. “The IMD will come out with a similar report for India by February 2021,” climate scientist and secretary in ministry of earth sciences Madhavan Rajeevan told TOI. He had, as a WMO consultant, written its report in 2004 and 2005. Although the overall warmth of the year is clear, there were variations in temperature anomalies across the globe.The report, which is based on contributions of dozens of international organisations and experts, shows how high-impact events including extreme heat, wildfires and floods, as well as the recordbreaking Atlantic hurricane season, affected millions of people, compounding threats to human health and security and economic stability posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last Updated: July 16, 2020, 12:52 PM IST

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said people in “99 per cent” cyclone Amphan-affected areas have been provided with the compensation announced by her government, and only a few of the “deprived” are yet to get it.

Her remarks came amid continued protests over alleged lapses in the distribution of monetary compensation to those whose houses were damaged in the cyclone that ravaged the state in mid-May.

A section of the victims and opposition parties have been alleging that many TMC leaders and their relatives received compensation though their houses were not damaged in the cyclone.

Some “small mistakes” might have occurred at a few places during the administration’s effort to fast-track the compensation payment process, Banerjee said, adding that she has directed officials to recover the money that went to the wrong people and redirect it to genuine claimants.

“Please provide the compensation money to those who have been deprived. There are not much but only a few left. Please provide them with what they should have received. People at 99 per cent places have already got the compensation,” the chief minister said after a Cabinet meeting.

“Because we tried to hurry it up, some small mistakes have occurred at a few places because of some people. There will be no compromise. Nobody has the authority to deprive the victims of what they should be getting,” Banerjee, who is also the Trinamool Congress supremo, said.

A few political parties are indulged in too much of politics over the matter, she said. The state government had released a total of Rs 6,800 crore as compensation for those whose houses were damaged by Cyclone Amphan.

More than 10 lakh people have received Rs 20,000 each as aid to repair their houses. The government has received around 40,000 complaints alleging irregularities in the distribution of this financial relief and found that

nearly 34,000 of them are genuine, according to an official.

Such complaints were received from Purba Medinipur, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, Nadia and Howrah districts. The state government has frozen bank accounts of several people who have received the compensation money though their houses were not damaged by the cyclone.

Around five Block Development Officers have been show-caused by the state government while several Trinamool Congress leaders in these districts have been suspended for their alleged involvement in these irregularities.
