Global Climate Change
Climate Change on a Global Scale: A Key Challenge of Our Time Global climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today. It refers to the long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other aspects of the Earth's climate system. Human activities, particularly the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, are largely to blame for these shifts. Global warming is the result of heat being trapped in Earth's atmosphere by these gases. The impacts of climate change are far-reaching and affect every region of the world, disrupting ecosystems, economies, and societies.

The 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement was a series of anti-Government and pro-democracy protests in Bangladesh, spearheaded primarily by university students.

The worst decisions of military leaders in history
In war, there are winners and losers. Sometimes, an army may be defeated simply because it faced a more potent and larger enemy than itself; other times, it may lose as a result of a set of strange circumstances that no one could have foreseen, or simply because a cunning opponent deceived it. On rare occasions, an army may be defeated as a result of bad weather, as happened with the Mongol fleet led by "Qobli Khan" in 1281, which was destroyed by a typhoon when it tried to cross the narrow passage between Korea and Japan. But, there are those battles in which one of the parties failed only because of the absolute incompetence of a commander in them.

At the heart of it all were two souls — Queen Seraphina and King Alaric — bound by a crown and a kingdom, yet torn by the weight of love unfulfilled.

How Wangari Maathai saved Uhuru Park
In 1989, Wangari Maathai became privy to speculation that a huge building was going to be erected in Uhuru Park. Immediately she heard about it, she wrote a letter to the Finance Minister enquiring about the building. The details she found out about the project were appaling. The proposed building was the Times Media Trust Complex. It would be 60 stories high and would fundamentally alter the facade of the city as it was. Uhuru Park was already shrinking as a result of encroaching; such a gigantic complex would end the park altogether. The construction would be funded by a huge loan that the government could never be able to payback. After discussing it with the executive committee of the Greenbelt Movement, it was time to take action.
