COP26

 COP26 starts this week and is fairly important conference that happens every year.

Your assignment this week will be to take notes and present what you learned about climate change or the political agenda around climate change as seen in the media on Monday.

We will watch some clips from Democracy Now, but I also want you to do your own research and look at Fox News, and foreign media, to see a global picture.

 

QUESTIONS - unrelated to climate change 

1. Should the Biden administration retreat from its support of vaccine mandates?
2. What steps does Portland need to take to rein in destructive protests?
3. Is inflationary pressure in the U.S. economy here to stay?
4. How should states spend the money they are receiving from opioid pharmacy settlements?
5. Does Congress need better ethics rules to prevent insider trading?
6. How will FDA approval for COVID-19 vaccinations for children affect school operations across the country?
7. Should U.S. states decriminalize prostitution?
8. How will criminal charges against Andrew Cuomo affect the Democratic Party’s gubernatorial primary next year?
9. Does President Biden have enough political capital to pass his adjusted social infrastructure bill?
10. What should Eric Adams prioritize when he becomes New York City’s next mayor?
