UPDATE ON WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID HE WILL DO WITH GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND MASS DEPORTATIONS

Incoming president Donald Trump has loudly blared that global warming will not get in the way of making America greater, and that he will deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.

About Planet Earth.

2024 is poised to become the hottest on record, surpassing the previous high year, 2023.
In 2024, for the first time, average global temperatures will exceed the 2.7F above pre-industrial levels from 1850-1900, the upper limit set by the Paris Agreement.

From early indications, Trump will continue to expand fossil fuel consumption, perhaps abandon the Department of Energy and worse.
About his promise on mass deportation of immigrants, did you know that in his first term he kicked out 1.5 million of them? This time, only one million. So what is the big deal? But that is in his first year, and there are 11 million undocumented immigrants, so....

When you add the economic impacts, such as reducing annual GDP by 4.2%-6.8%, the cost of all that will be from $1.1 trillion to $1.7 trillion.

Today, Trump's mass deportation campaign hit a speed bump, for a civil war erupted. The MAGA crowd is all for this program, while billionaires who are providing a lot of money and credibility need many of these immigrants who are skilled technological specialists. More specifically, Elon Musk against Laura Loomer.

And oh, Trump's grandparents were immigrants, and his #1 wife Ivana was one, so too #3 wife Melania, who was illegally working in the USA. He has addressed this matter and concluded that his children from those wives can stay in the U.S. because of he being a citizen. And don't forget Marla Maples (she was born in Georgia, the U.S. state), yes, they had an affair while he was married to Ivanka, and who he married as wife #2, two months after daughter Tiffany was born.
Did you know that Jesus was a refugee?

A NEXT COVID SUBVARIANT?

By now most know that the Omicron BA.5 subvariant has become the dominant infectious agent, now accounting for more than 80% of all COVID-19 cases. Very few are aware that a new one, BA.4.6, is sneaking in and steadily rising, now accounting for 13% of sequenced samples . However, as BA.4.6 has emerged from BA.4, while there is uncertainty, the scientific sense is that the latest bivalent booster targeting BA.4 and BA.5 should also be effective for this next threat. One concern is that Evusheld--the only monoclonal antibody authorized for COVID prevention in immunocompromised individuals--is not effective against BA.4.6. Here is a reference as to what this means. A series of two injections is involved. Evusheld was developed by British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, and is a t ixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab . More recently, Los Angeles County reported on subvariant BA.2.75.2 . which Tony Fauci termed suspicio...

Part 3: OUR NEXT AROUND THE WORLD ODYSSEY

Before I get into my third, and final, part of this cruise series, let me start with some more newsworthy topics. Thursday was my pandemic day for years. Thus, every so often I return to bring you up to date on the latest developments. All these subvariants derived from that Omicron variant, and each quickly became dominant, with slightly different symptoms. One of these will shock you. There has been a significant decline in the lost of taste and smell. From two-thirds of early patients to now only 10-20% show these symptoms. JN.1, now the dominant subvariant, results in mostly mild symptoms. However, once JN.1 infects some, there seem to be longer-lasting symptoms. Clearly, the latest booster helps prevent contracting Covid. A competing subvariant, BA.2.86, also known as Pirola , a month ago made a run, but JN.1 prevailed. No variant in particular, but research has shown that some of you will begin to lose hair for...

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota. Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north. Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge. If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic. Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing. The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University. Caught a bus. Was called the Century 21 Exposition . Also the Seattle World's Fair. 10 million joined me on a six-month run. My first. These a...
