@_khkmagduru_ In Pakistan my mother used to call it ‘Bobin’. It is an underneath part of a hand/leg driven sewing machine that carries the parallel thread for stitching cloths.
The United States and China have a shared interest in working with India and Pakistan to prevent war and nuclear use in South Asia. My full statement👇

Can you identify one major obstacle to spreading climate and sustainability awareness among the public? How do you think this situation can be addressed?

@ErnestMoniz, Does the subject of nuclear fusion falls under your organization's activities. What are the chances of it's getting commercial in the near future? Will it positively impact on the greenhouse gases and to what extent it will go in mitigating carbon-footprint?
You may have seen Pope Francis @Pontifex' recent comments about climate change in his @CbsWith@NorahODonnell: “Climate change at this moment is a road to death”. Quite a statement, especially coming from a Pope who has so actively encouraged climate action.

Break Free From The Prison of Your Mind
Once you are aware of your thoughts, desires your inhibitions, you achieve the power to liberate yourself from your own self-imposed boundaries.
Very few people understand this chart and even fewer realize the critical nature of state we are reaching on the matter of #climate and #globalwarming.
James Hansen sounded the climate alarm in 1988. His new paper says total climate breakdown is here; calls out politicians, timid climate scientists and "big environmental organizations, now part of the problem"; and calls on US youths to rise
"Actions needed to drive carbon intensity to zero—most important a rising carbon fee—are feasible, but not happening. [...] Politicians from right (conservative) and left (progressive) parties are affected by fossil fuel interests. The right denies that fossil fuels cause climate change or says that the effect is exaggerated. The left takes up the climate cause but proposes actions with only modest effect, such as cap-and-trade with offsets, including giveaways to the fossil fuel industry. [...] Opportunities for progress often occur in conjunction with crises. Today, the world faces a crisis—political polarization, especially in the United States—that threatens effective governance. Yet the crisis offers an opportunity for young people to help shape the future of the nation and the planet. Ideals professed by the United States at the end of World War II were consummated in formation of the United Nations, the World Bank, the Marshall Plan, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. [...] But the power of special interests in Washington grew, government became insular and inefficient, and Congress refused to police itself. Their first priority became reelection and maintenance of elite status, supported by special interests. Thousands of pages of giveaways to special interests lard every funding bill, including the climate bill titled ‘Inflation Reduction Act’—Orwellian double-speak—as the funding is borrowed from young people via deficit spending. The public is fed up with the Washington swamp but hamstrung by rigid two-party elections focused on a polarized cultural war. A political party that takes no money from special interests is essential to address political polarization, which is necessary if the West is to be capable of helping preserve the planet and a bright future for coming generations. Young people showed their ability to drive an election—via their support of Barack Obama in 2008 and Bernie Sanders in 2016—without any funding from special interests. Groundwork is being laid to allow third party candidates in 2026 and 2028 elections in the U.S. Ranked voting is being advocated in every state to avoid the ‘spoiler’ effect of a third party. It is asking a lot to expect young people to grasp the situation that they have been handed—but a lot is at stake. As they realize that they are being handed a planet in decline, the first reaction may be to stamp their feet and demand that governments do better, but that has little effect. Nor is it sufficient to parrot big environmental organizations, which are now part of the problem, as they are partly supported by the fossil fuel industry and wealthy donors who are comfortable with the status quo. Instead, young people have the opportunity to provide the drive for a revolutionary third party that restores democratic ideals while developing the technical knowledge that is needed to navigate the stormy sea that their world is setting out upon"
