According to the article by Vox, a conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region between Armenia and Azerbaijan has started up again. The original fight for the region ended over 30 years ago, with a ceasefire being signed after a war that caused 30,000 deaths. However, because of it being a ceasefire, the idea that the fighting could start up again at any time was always looming on the horizon. In the last week of September, both countries accused the other of unprovoked attacks against the other, which caused the fighting to start up again. Instead of it fizzling out like many of the previous skirmishes, this has only gained more and more intensity as the days went by. Now, many major cities within both countries have been attacked by heavy artillery fire. This has caused the days since then to be the most violent since the 1994 ceasefire, and some are even calling it the second Nagorno-Karabakh war. Along with that, Turkey has only been making things worse by supporting Azerbai...
Electric Cars & California The article I read was about the new mandate made by California to sell only electric cars by 2035. The article talked about the feasibility of this mandate. For example, the article had a section about whether or not California could do this legally. This section of the article talked about how California has been regulating their emissions since before the EPA existed, and because of this, California has been granted waivers from the federal government to pass their own air quality and emissions rules, which are often stricter than the federal government rules.

The article said that lawsuits over the authority of the EPA are still under review, and that if either the EPA prevails in the lawsuits or the Trump administration has a second term, this mandate for electric cars could be nearly impossible to...
HOW LONG BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD IS VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19? ( https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-vaccine-covid-19-who-gavi-putin-trump-boris-johnson-health-economy-1524958 ) We still have a long road until the vaccine for covid-19 is complete and ready for the public. Countries need to work together in order to get there with over 750,000 people dead and the poor state of the global economy.GAVI, the vaccine alliance, who has been primarily focused on finding a vaccine for AIDs, has opened a facility where they will try to make the vaccine accessible for all countries, especially poorer ones. Their goal is to deliver at least two billion doses by the end of 2021. They hope to pool together the resources of wealthier countries to help the vaccine reach poorer countries so that it is available for everyone. Since the vaccine can’t ultimately reach everyone, they want to focus primarily on health care workers and people at risk. They aim to vaccinate 20% of the population sin...
