OPINIÓN | El chantaje nuclear de Rusia es un éxito espectacular para Putin

Las opiniones expresadas en esta columna le pertenecen exclusivamente a su autor.(CNN) — Vladimir Putin detalló la semana pasada la intención declarada de Rusia de tener armas nucleares tácticas basadas en Belarús. La oleada de reportes alarmistas sobre lo que esto significaba pone de relieve gran parte de lo que está mal con las respuestas de Occidente a la intimidación nuclear rusa.Cómo se han interpretado las palabras de Putin en Occidente puede resultar una sorpresa para Moscú, pero no hay duda de que será muy gratificante. Porque Rusia ya ha “utilizado” armas nucleares. Las ha utilizado con gran éxito sin dispararlas, recurriendo a amenazas vacías sobre posibles ataques nucleares para disuadir muy eficazme...

Cash, know-how and public support: The recipe for hitting Europe’s green building targets

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:27:23 GMT

This article is the product of a POLITICO Working Group, presented by Holcim.If the EU wants to meet its 2050 net-zero target, it needs to rethink the way it builds its cities.The bloc’s building stock is currently responsible for 40 percent of total energy consumption and 36 percent of the bloc’s energy-related greenhouse gas emissions — that means slashing those emissions will be key to hitting overall climate goals.The EU has set a target of reducing buildings’ greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent by the end of the decade and ensuring buildings are fully decarbonized by 2050. To get there, Brussels is requiring the bloc to slash energy consumption by 11.7 percent by 2030, with part of that cut achieved with the mandatory renovation of public buildings. It is also revising rules on energy performance for buildings — now being negotiated by the Parliament and EU capitals — to compel countries to ensure their worst-performing buildings reach higher energy-efficien...

Editorial: Latest school shooting shows need for strong Red Flag laws

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:27:23 GMT

The debate over gun control rages again after yet another school shooting, this time at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville.The suspect in Monday’s killing spree, 28-year-old Aubrey Hale, shot her way into the school and gunned down six people, including three 9-year-old children, according to police. Pols and pundits have reignited the national argument on gun control vs. Second Amendment rights, with the usual fiery rhetoric.The debate won’t end this week, nor this month, nor anytime in the foreseeable future. More people intent on evildoing will take firearms they acquired through illegal or legal means, and take out their twisted agenda on innocents.The problem is more complex than a laser focus on gun ownership would indicate.One factor that can and should be addressed immediately is the emotional makeup of the shooters themselves. Stable, well-adjusted members of the community don’t walk into schools with assault weapons. It’s only after ...

For a great kid-friendly day trip, head to New Bedford

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:27:23 GMT

My two granddaughters love what we call “Rara Days;”  when I take them to do all kind of fun things until  they’re so tired they crash off to sleep that night.They can be demanding though.“We want to go to a zoo! And some museums! And can we take a beach walk? And Rara – we need a really great playground!”I have a secret weapon that allows me to say “Absolutely!” to all of it.New Bedford (https://destinationnewbedford.org) has long been known for whaling and its rich history, but it’s also quietly built itself  to be one of the best family destinations around.We like to start our day at Noah’s Playground, an incredible ADA accessible playground located at lovely Pope’s Island. Noah’s was built in 2017 with funds raised by the family of Noah Fernandes, a boy who lost his life at 14 after battling a disease that left him in a wheelchair.Besides being accessible to all, Noah’s setting is pretty with great water views. There are clean public rest rooms and comfortable benches for parent...

Herald hires Mac Cerullo as new Red Sox reporter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:27:23 GMT

It all started with a tacky Nickelodeon alarm clock.Think of the most over-the-top relic of the 1990s imaginable, a purple and neon-green monstrosity that blared an unholy mashup of spaceship noises, trumpets and marching band cacophony if you dared set it to go off in the morning.I couldn’t tell you when or how I got it. By this point I’d long outgrown it. But in the fall of 2003 that bizarre childhood holdover became arguably my most important possession.Why? Because it had a radio, and on school nights after my parents banished me to my room for the evening that tacky clock was my only conduit to that October’s epic Red Sox playoff run.I remember spending hours in the dark listening to Joe Castiglione call the action, visualizing the scene unfolding miles away Fenway Park or beyond. Like everyone else in the region I was completely transfixed, and those indelible weeks sparked an enduring passion.Even back then I knew somehow, someway, sports would always be a part of my life.If ...

Davies: Pols’ oil biz blame game ignores how markets work

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:27:23 GMT

When gas prices rose 150% from June 2020 to June 2023, politicians didn’t hesitate to blame corporate greed. Yet over the last six months, gas prices have fallen 33%. Are politicians congratulating oil companies for displaying altruism? No. Market skeptics only see prices through the eyes of greed. Prices fall because of “market forces” but rise because of “greed.”Consider ExxonMobil, the largest U.S. oil company. From 2010 through 2014, Exxon’s after-tax profit averaged $9.1 billion per quarter. Starting in 2015, its profits fell more than 50%, to an average of $3.9 billion per quarter, yet no politician thanked Exxon for its generosity.Then came COVID. In 2020, the company lost an average of $5.6 billion per quarter, yet no politician applauded Exxon’s selfless magnanimity.And politicians were right not to do so.Exxon was neither generous in the late 2010s nor magnanimous in 2020. Exxon responded to market forces: paying the prices that markets dictated and selling at prices that ...
