The United States Has Just Withdrawn From Obama UN Migration Agreement!

UNITED STATES MISSION TO THE UNTTED NATIONS Office of Press and Public Diplomacy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2, 2017

United States Ends Participation in Global Compact on Migration Today, the U.S. Mission

to the United Nations informed the UN Secretary-General that the United States is ending its participation

in the Global Compact on Migration.

U.S. participation in the Compact process began in 2016, following the Obama Administration�s

decision to join the UN�s New York Declaration on migration.

The New York Declaration contains numerous provisions that are inconsistent with U.S.

immigration and refugee policies and the Trump Administration�s iramigration principles.

As a result, President Trump determined that the United States vvould end its participation

in the Compact process that aims to reach international consensus at the UN in 2018.

Ambassador Nikki Haley, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, issued the following

statement: �America is proud of our immigrant heritage and our long-standing moral leadership

in providing support to migrant and refugee populations across the globe.

No country has done more than the United States, and our generosity will continue.

But our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans

alone.

We will decide how best to control our borders and who will be allowed to enter our country.

The global approach in the New York Declaration is simply not compatible with U.S. sovereignty.�

Redstate reported: In 2016, Governments of the world agreed to work together to develop

two Global Compacts � one on refugees, one on migration � with an ambitious goal to

be finalized by September 2018.

Critically, the Global Compact on Migration is intended to create the governance framework

that will facilitate safe, orderly, regular and responsible migration and mobility of

people.

It is envisaged that the Compact will recognize migration as a reality rather than an aberration,

and the importance of remittances as a source of capital and driver of development.

Equally, it is envisaged that the Compact will involve States committing to protect

the human rights of all migrants, irrespective of their migration status � an approach

deeply connected to the goals of combatting human trafficking, migrant smuggling and modern

slavery.

If you think of �migration as a reality rather than an aberration,� then you might

enjoy yourself at a New Year�s Eve celebration in a random German city or French banlieue

but most of us prefer a more orderly and managed immigration process.

United States orders 16,000 troops and 230 warplanes to prime for WAR with North Korea - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:46.

US orders 16,000 troops and 230 warplanes to prime for WAR with North Korea

NORTH Korea better be watching its back today as thousands of US troops and 230 warplanes

descend on Kim Jong-un's doorstep.

Vigilant Ace – a massive joint war games – kicks off today as the US and South Korea

rehearse for battle with Pyongyang.

Hundreds of aircraft and thousands of soldiers and airmen are taking part in the drill, which

is one of the biggest ever of its kind.

US and South Korean forces will be rehearsing for a full-scale war with North Korea.

Nuclear fears have reignited as Kim fired his latest missile last week – his biggest

and most powerful yet, the Hwasong-15.

US President Donald Trump will be looking to flex his muscles as he dispatches his most

deadly fighter planes to ready for war in Vigilant Ace.

At least 230 warplanes from both the US and the South will take part, alongside 12,000

US troops and airmen and at least 4,000 expected to represent Seoul.

The drill lasts from today until December 8 with aircraft flying over eight airbases

in across the Korean Peninsula.

US commanders have downplayed the drill – claiming it is "regular" and not a direct response

to North Korea.

Trump's crown jewels of the drill will be the state-of-the-art F-35 Lightning IIs and

F-22 Raptors leading the US's wing during the drill.

Both fighter jets outmatch anything in North Korea's arsenal and could win most of the

war against Kim by themselves.

F-35s can fly at speeds of 1,200mph and are capable of carrying nuclear bombs and bunker

busters.

Meanwhile, the F-22 can hit speeds of up to 1,500 mph and are armed with Vulcan miniguns

and Sidewinder missiles.

Other aircraft including more fighters, bombers and spy planes will also take part along with

commandos from the US Marine Corps.

North Korea always rages over the drills on its border – claiming they are rehearsals

for invasion.

US forces have been flooding into the Pacific this year with warships, warplanes, missiles

and the army all on standby.

"Vigilant Ace 18 highlights the longstanding military partnership, commitment and enduring

friendship between two nations," the US military said.

The statement added: "It is designed to ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula,

and reaffirms the US commitment to stability in the Northeast Asia region."

Vigilant Ace comes after Donald Trump warned he would "take care" of North Korea following

the missile test.

War fears have reached new heights this year as Kim refuses to give up his quest for Nuclear

ICBMs.

North Korea has tested dozens of missiles this year, and claimed its nukes can now hit

the US.

Kim is feared to be readying the dreaded Juche Bird missile – a live nuke fired out into

the heart of the Pacific.

Why the United States should ban GMO foods - Duration: 4:12.

Think back to the last time you went to the grocery store, do you remember walking through

the aisle, maybe noticing various products that were labeled "GMO-Free" or "Non-GMO"?

You might see labels such as this, the Non-GMO Project on these pretzels or on these veggie

straws, or it will say it was produced with genetic engineering like on the back of these

Oreos.

You might be wondering what that means.

GMO stands for genetically modified organism which is defined as any organism whose DNA

has been altered in a non-natural way.

GM plants are usually changed to be insect resistant, virus resistant, or herbicide tolerant

which may seem good in theory but actions have been taken around the world to prevent

the harm coming from GMO foods.

Countries such as France, New Zealand, and Japan have banned them completely but they

are still prominent in the United States.

This is due to pressures from big businesses who have such a significant impact on industry

that even labelling products was not mandatory in the US until a law was passed in 2016.

GMO foods should be banned in the United States due their adverse effects on the human body

and their impact on the environment, and the false notion that they reduce hunger and malnutrition.

Organicconsumers.org states there is concern that simply inserting an exotic gene into

a plant could cause it to produce toxins at a much higher level, that can be harmful to

humans.

But by mixing genes from totally unrelated species, genetic engineering unleashes a host

of unpredictable side effects.

The very process of creating a genetically modified plant can result in massive collateral

damage that produces new toxins, allergens, carcinogens and nutritional deficiencies.

Numerous health problems have increased after GMO foods were introduced in 1996.

The percentage of Americans with three or more chronic illnesses jumped from 7% to 13%

in just 9 years; including food allergies, and disorders such as autism and digestive

problems.

GM crops and herbicides also harm the environment because GMO food DNA ends up in soil, compost,

animal feed, and other living organisms such as bees that can transport pesticides through

the air into the environment.

Also, Pests that are targeted by these agricultural methods can adapt to pesticides and herbicides,

in addition to the DNA changes in GM plants to make them ¨resistant.¨ This means that

they will not always be effective, but their toxicity will remain.

Once a plant is introduced in an agricultural environment, it is assumed that it will become

part of a larger ecosystem, meaning the problem of environmental damage done by GMO food is

much larger than simply potentially harming our health but that of Birds, insects, and

even marine ecosystems.

An example of the damage is that GM crops are eliminating habitat for monarch butterflies,

whose populations are down 50% in the US.

And lastly, contrary to popular belief, GMO foods are not more efficient in reducing hunger

and malnutrition than by traditional means.

The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development

report, written by more than 400 scientists and backed by 58 governments, stated that

GM crop yields were "highly variable" and in some cases, "yields declined."

The report noted, Assessment of the technology lags behind its development, information is

contradictory, and uncertainty about possible benefits and damage is unavoidable.

They determined that the current GMO foods have nothing to offer the goals of reducing

hunger and poverty, improving nutrition, health and rural livelihoods, and facilitating social

and environmental sustainability.

GMO food research actually diverts money and resources from safe, reliable, and appropriate

technologies.

In conclusion, GMO foods have harmful effects on humans and the environment.

From having a correlation to birth defects as a result of releasing new toxins, allergens

and carcinogens, to contaminating our ecosystem for, in theory, forever.

GMO foods have more consequences than they are worth, which is why the United States

should follow in the footsteps of 26 other countries and ban them.

United States Climate Video - Duration: 3:32.

My name is Anthony Boswell, and I did my project in the United States and its climate

The United States is located in both the northern and western hemispheres

In the united states the summers are hot and humid in the plains in the southern states and the most intense summers occur in

california florida and texas

Winners in the southern states are mild and in the north. There is heavy snow and sub-freezing temperatures

Devastating tornadoes are a common occurrence during the spring and summer in the central part of the United States and hurricane strike the eastern coastline

in the Gulf of Mexico from June through October

Fortunately our president Donald Trump believes that global warming is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese

Between 1901 and 2015 the average annual surface temperature has increased by approximately 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit

Human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels has resulted in the emission of greenhouse gases

And this is the primary reason for the observed changes in climate

The world is not reducing emissions enough to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius relative to pre-industrial temperatures by 2100

Which is the goal of the Paris agreement?

In the United States heavy rainstorms and record high temperatures are common nowadays

Rising levels of carbon dioxide have been caused by human activities from 1998 to 2014 the carbon dioxide emissions have increased by 9%

Electricity generation is accounted for 31% of the total greenhouse gas emission since 1990 in the United States

As for transportation as the counter for 26% of the United States is greenhouse gas emissions

Global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases have increased significantly over the last few hundred years

the concentration of methane has doubled since pre-industrial times

Our climate in global warming has resulted in

the reduction of ice and snow cover increased sea levels

Increased acidity of oceans and the increased intensity and frequency of extreme events and natural disasters

Our climate has a serious impact on our food supply our water resources ecosystems and even our own health

Many greenhouse gases stay in our atmosphere for long periods of time allowing for atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations to remain elevated for hundreds of years

Given that future climate change is inevitable adoption is the best strategy to reduce the severity and cost of climate change impacts

Anticipatory pointing will aid government institutions and enhancing resilience to climate change effects

In order to adapt

We need to develop crops that are more tolerant to heat drought and flooding from heavy rains

We need to provide more shade and air flows into barns to protect livestock from intense temperatures and heat waves during the summer

And we need to protect and expand wildlife habitats

We also need to preserve wetlands to protect coastal communities from flooding and erosion from storms

And sea level rise we need to improve evacuation planning for low areas to prepare for increased storm surges and floods

Last week we need to improve our water use efficiency and build additional water storage capacities
