The document discusses the Bush Administration's Climate Action Report 2002 which acknowledges that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are largely responsible for rising global temperatures. Several Senators plan to hold hearings on whether the report warrants changes to US climate policy. The report suggests adapting to climate impacts rather than reversing trends through new emission reduction policies. Some critics argue the findings require more significant action than proposed by the Administration.
U.S. Climate
The document summarizes climate change law in the United States within the context of its federal system of government. It describes how the federal and state governments have shared authority over environmental issues, with the federal government establishing minimum standards that states can exceed. It outlines key pieces of federal legislation like the Clean Air Act and discusses state-led initiatives in the absence of federal action. It also examines the economic, political, and social challenges to further progress on climate change policy in the U.S.

This document is an email alerting William Perhach at the Council on Environmental Quality about an upcoming Senate committee hearing on global climate change. The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee will hold a hearing on July 11th to discuss the U.S. Climate Action Report and will hear testimony from Jim Connaughton of CEQ, R. Glenn Hubbard of the Council of Economic Advisers, John H. Marburger III of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and James R. Mahoney of the Department of Commerce. The hearing was originally scheduled for June 20th but was postponed when the Bush administration said it could only provide program staff, not political appointees, to testify.
WEEKLY NEWS
The document summarizes various news articles from 25-31 October 2010. It discusses topics such as SEBI raising investment limits for retail investors in public issues to Rs. 2 lakh, China becoming Volvo's third largest market, the G20 agreement increasing emerging markets' quota in the IMF, China's plan to reduce its trade deficit and gas emissions, and Nissan recalling over 2.1 million cars due to an engine control issue. It also mentions the launch of an Indian software service called 'Bharat Berry' as an alternative to BlackBerry, the US and Russia joining the East Asia Summit, and GlaxoSmithKline agreeing to pay $750 million to settle allegations of manufacturing adulterated drugs.
News of the week from 25th oct to
SEBI doubled the investment limit for retail investors in an initial public offering to Rs 2 lakh. This will reduce multiple applications from one investor.
The US and Russia will formally join the East Asia Summit, an Asian economic bloc, despite China's attempt to diminish US influence in the region.
GlaxoSmithKline agreed to pay $750 million for manufacturing and distributing adulterated drugs from a Puerto Rico plant, with $600 million to settle false healthcare claims.
The Supreme Court Nomination of Judge Merrick B. Garland & Its Implications
Judge Merrick Garland is President Obama's nominee to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court. As a moderate Clinton appointee to the D.C. Circuit, Garland has favored some EPA regulations in environmental cases. However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the Senate should not confirm a replacement until after the 2016 election. If confirmed, Garland could shift the Court to a 5-4 liberal majority. Both Democrats and Republicans are gearing up campaigns around the nomination as it could impact control of the Senate in the election.
CAR Email 6.3.02 (a)
The document summarizes a press release from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) criticizing the EPA's Climate Action Report 2002 for relying on the discredited National Assessment on Climate Change. CEI had previously sued over the National Assessment and reached an agreement with the White House to withdraw it, so the press release argues the new EPA report violates that agreement. It also announces CEI has filed a petition to prevent distribution of the EPA report. Rush Limbaugh is quoted criticizing President Bush for appearing to "flip-flop" on global warming in the new report.
Ch 27 the 1990s
George H.W. Bush presided over the end of the Cold War and the decline of the Soviet Union. He launched the Gulf War in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Bill Clinton defeated Bush in 1992 and presided over a period of economic growth but was impeached for perjury related to an affair with Monica Lewinsky. The 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush was extremely close and controversial, ultimately being decided by the Supreme Court in Bush's favor.

CAR Email 7.7.02
The document is a critique of a climate action report released by the Bush administration. It argues that the report concedes the science of human-caused global warming and its impacts, contrary to the president's position. It says the report was leaked to set up attacks on the president. It calls for the president to withdraw the report, dismiss disloyal employees, and remove the US signature from the Kyoto Protocol to escape political trouble caused by the report.
CAR Document CEI Memo
The EPA's latest global warming report to the UN violates a previous agreement with the White House and other groups to not rely on discredited science from a previous climate assessment. The lawsuit argued the previous assessment was rushed and inaccurate. The new EPA report inappropriately cites the discredited assessment against the terms of the agreement to drop the lawsuit. Quoting a CEI director, relying on the previous assessment undermines the President's climate policies. CEI and others had jointly sued the White House over its flawed climate science.
CAR Email 6.7.02 (d)

The article argues that the report undermines the President's opposition to the Kyoto Protocol by accepting claims about global warming that rely on "junk science." It calls on the President to withdraw the report, dismiss disloyal employees who promoted it, and remove the US signature from the Kyoto Protocol in order to align policies with his agenda.
Presidential election
The 2004 United States presidential election saw incumbent President George W. Bush run for re-election against Democratic nominee John Kerry. Foreign policy and the ongoing War on Terrorism were dominant themes. Bush focused on national security and an "ownership society," while Kerry promised to make America stronger at home and more respected abroad. The election was closely contested but Bush ultimately won by capturing Ohio and its crucial electoral votes.
Capital Thinking ~ December 24, 2012
The document summarizes legislative activity in Congress during the week leading up to Christmas regarding the fiscal cliff negotiations and other issues. It notes that the House pulled a tax bill from consideration due to lack of Republican support. It also discusses upcoming Senate sessions and the President calling for a tax cut extension for those under $200k/$250k. Other topics covered include agriculture, appropriations, energy, and financial services.
CEI Email 4.4.03 (b)
The document discusses concerns that a title in the Senate energy bill could resurrect aspects of the Kyoto Protocol. Specifically, Title XI calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reestablishing a climate czar position in the White House, which mirrors Kyoto's goals. Conservatives worry this would set up lobbying for slow growth energy policies under the guise of the White House. The grassroots movement against Kyoto may need to reactivate to remove these provisions from the bill.
CAR Email 6.4.02 (c)
President Bush criticized a recent EPA report that concluded human activities are causing global warming, calling it "bureaucratic hot air." The report contradicted the administration's previous stance that there was insufficient evidence of a link between emissions and warming. Bush remains opposed to the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
CAR Email 7.12.02 (c)
The document is an email summarizing a news article about a Senate hearing on climate change policies. At the hearing, four Bush administration advisors defended the President's decision to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol and pursue voluntary emissions reductions programs instead of mandatory caps. They argued mandatory cuts could cost billions and millions of jobs. Critics at the hearing said the administration's approach will not reduce emissions and is inadequate given warnings about climate change impacts. The administration officials said more study is needed before taking more aggressive action.

Clinton 1996 election
In the 1996 election, Bill Clinton was re-elected as president, defeating Republican Bob Dole and Reform candidate Ross Perot. During Clinton's first term he appointed his wife Hillary to head a task force to create a universal healthcare plan, but it was never brought to a vote due to opposition. Clinton worked with a Republican congress to cut spending and lower taxes, resulting in the first balanced budget in 24 years. He also signed welfare reform legislation and oversaw the implementation of NAFTA on January 1, 1994, which both had positive and negative economic effects.
Bill clinton election of 1992
Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election as the Democratic nominee, running on a platform of middle-class tax cuts and national healthcare reform. He relied heavily on his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton during the campaign. Clinton positioned himself as a defender of the middle class against incumbent President George H. W. Bush and independent candidate Ross Perot. However, after taking office in 1993, Clinton found it difficult to enact his agenda due to resistance from a Republican-controlled Congress following the 1994 midterm elections.
Reagan and bush
Reaganomics focused on cutting federal spending, reducing taxes, and increasing defense spending. Federal budget cuts targeted programs like food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, and student loans. Tax cuts relied on supply-side economics to stimulate the economy by cutting taxes and increasing business investment and job creation. Defense spending increased substantially through initiatives like the Strategic Defense Initiative. Deregulation of industries like airlines and trucking aimed to lower business and consumer costs. Foreign policy saw the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War, as well as US interventions in Central America and the Caribbean.
The big 80s part 1
The conservative movement built in the 1980s as people joined the "New Right" to oppose abortion, the removal of prayer in schools, affirmative action, busing, and welfare programs, while supporting traditional family values and individual responsibility. Ronald Reagan appealed to businesspeople wanting deregulation, southerners wanting smaller government, westerners wanting less federal land control, and Democrats believing their party had become too liberal. Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in 1980 by promising smaller government, lower taxes, and traditional values as people were frustrated by the hostage crisis, high inflation, and poor economy under Carter.
Ford and carter
Gerald Ford became president after Nixon's resignation and struggled with stagflation as inflation and unemployment rose. His attempts to cut spending and raise interest rates caused a recession. Ford also failed to get support from Congress and lost Vietnam. In the 1976 election, Jimmy Carter was elected as an outsider who promised to restore integrity, but struggled with a weak economy as inflation increased due to rising oil prices set by OPEC. Carter achieved the Camp David Accords but his presidency was hurt by the Iran hostage crisis and a failed rescue mission.

Problems for the nixon administration
The Nixon administration faced several major problems including stagflation, which resisted traditional economic solutions and led to shortages. Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned due to tax evasion and bribery charges, requiring Nixon to appoint Gerald Ford as the new vice president. The Watergate scandal emerged involving a break-in at the Democratic headquarters and Nixon's attempted cover-up, leading to his resignation in 1974 as impeachment loomed. Upon taking office, President Ford granted Nixon a controversial pardon that was unpopular but aimed to unify the nation.
Early 70s nixon for virtual
The document summarizes key events in the Vietnam War in the 1970s and Nixon's presidency. It describes how public support for the war waned as the human costs mounted. Nixon became president in 1968 promising to end the war with "peace with honor" but prolonged it for several more years through bombing of Cambodia and Laos. His policies of Vietnamization gradually removed US troops but Congress revoked support for the war. Protests against the war grew more intense, exemplified by the shooting of student protestors at Kent State. The Pentagon Papers revealed the US never had a plan to end the war. Nixon appealed to the "silent majority" but the legacy of Vietnam included reforms like the War Powers Act limiting presidential war powers.
The vietnam war draws to a close
The document summarizes key events in the Cold War and Vietnam War era from the 1950s to the 1970s. It discusses the Eisenhower Doctrine's goal of containing communism, Soviet advancements like Sputnik that worried Americans, Cold War crises like U2 spy plane incidents and the Cuban Missile Crisis, US escalation in Vietnam to stop communism, protests against the war at home, and the 1973 Paris Peace Accords that ended US involvement as Vietnam reunified under communism.
Us involvement in vietnam
The US became involved in Vietnam for several reasons: to contain communism according to the Cold War policy, the Domino Theory that communism would spread in Asia if one country fell, and the French withdrawal from their colony of Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin resolution allowed the president to send troops without congressional approval. The US supported the anti-communist leader Diem in South Vietnam but later helped remove him. Despite initial advisors, the US increasingly committed troops under Kennedy and Johnson but failed to win, contributing to Johnson not seeking re-election. Nixon took office promising to end the war through "Vietnamization" while using tactics like Agent Orange and napalm bombings. Growing protests at home resulted from the Tet Offensive showing
The Cuban Missile Crisis
The Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962, just 90 miles from the United States, alarming President Kennedy and many Americans. Kennedy demanded the missiles' removal and established a blockade around Cuba. A compromise was eventually reached where the Soviets agreed to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the US removing missiles from Turkey. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the US and Soviet Union dangerously close to nuclear war.

The document summarizes the history and goals of the Equal Rights Amendment proposed in the United States. The Equal Rights Amendment aimed to guarantee equal rights under law regardless of sex. It was first proposed in 1923 but gained momentum in the 1960s-1970s led by the National Organization for Women. It passed Congress in 1972 but failed to gain ratification by 38 states by the 1982 deadline due to opposition groups claiming it would eliminate traditional gender roles and legalize gay marriage. While not ratified, numerous court cases have since helped promote greater gender equality.
The Civil Rights Movements
This document outlines the history of the civil rights movement in the United States from the 1950s through the 1960s. It discusses key events and figures, including Brown v. Board of Education, the Montgomery Bus Boycott led by MLK, the formation of civil rights organizations like SNCC and CORE, nonviolent protests such as sit-ins and freedom rides, the march on Washington and MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech, and the assassinations of MLK and Malcom X. It also summarizes landmark civil rights legislation passed during this period, including the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1964, and 1968 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Road to wwii
Germany began aggressively expanding its military in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler sought to gain "living space" or Lebensraum by taking land from countries he viewed as inferior. Germany aided Franco's nationalists in the Spanish Civil War to test its new military tactics. Germany later formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan to oppose communism. Despite condemning Germany's rearmament, the League of Nations took no action to stop it. Germany continued expanding by remilitarizing the Rhineland, annexing Austria, and taking the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia with the appeasement policy of Britain and France proving ineffective at halting German aggression.
Great depression and solutions
The Great Depression was caused by farmers and factory workers losing money due to increased competition from European farms and a tariff on imported goods that led other countries to retaliate. There was also too much buying on credit in the 1920s and people borrowing money to invest in stocks, which then crashed. President Hoover tried to lend money to banks and businesses to stimulate the economy but did not help the unemployed. President Roosevelt created the New Deal, passing laws to regulate Wall Street and banking and creating programs to insure bank deposits, provide social security, and employ people in public works projects.
Totalitarianism takes over europe
Totalitarianism took over Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. Totalitarian governments controlled all aspects of society including where people worked, what was produced, how people dressed, their beliefs, actions, likes and dislikes. People who violated the government's rules faced punishment such as jail or death. European countries turned to totalitarianism due to economic problems during the Great Depression and a lack of democratic tradition, as countries like Italy, Germany and the USSR had been ruled by kings for most of their history. Totalitarian dictators like Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler rose to power by promising to restore national pride and economic stability while blaming issues on enemies of the state.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
