Florida officials were barred from saying 'climate change' once rick scott took power



"Officials responsible for making sure Florida is prepared to respond to the earth's changing climate are barred from using the terms "global warming" and "climate change" in official communications, emails and reports, according to new findings from the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting."
Climate change is a big problem for florida and is predicted to rise 2 ft by 2060. Rick Scott is angering scientists by downplaying the situation. 

Last year, a reporter asked Scott whether man-made climate change "is significantly affecting the weather, the climate."scott said"Well, I'm not a scientist." (why does he wanna avoid that..?)
He says openly he doesn't believe in climate change. People are saying he needs to start worrying by protecting the state. Sea levels rising will begin to cause problems in the future. 
The agency's press secretary told the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting that "DEP does not have a policy on this." The governor's office similarly said, "There's no policy on this."

Obama marked International Women's Day on Sunday by calling for equality for all women, saying that it was "simply a matter of right and wrong."
He said the treatment of women has been a great injustice. 
the description below basically states the women give great additions to the world and that they are not given enough credit for all that they do. He also says that their value and the way that they are actually treated is an injustice. 62 million girls who should be in school are not, millions are are risking their education. He said if women were treated equal to men then the world would be a safer, more stable, and more prosperous. 



Read Obama's full statement on International Women's Day below:
"As half the planet, women make immeasurable contributions to our world. They are entrepreneurs, farmers, educators, scientists, artists, soldiers, mothers, heads of state -- the list is endless. Without them, economies would collapse, political systems would deteriorate, and families and communities would fall apart. Yet in too many places, women are treated as second-class citizens. Their abilities are undervalued. And their human rights -- the right to learn, to express themselves, to live free from violence, to choose whether and whom to marry -- are routinely violated. 

This gap between women’s inherent value and how many of them are treated every day is one of the great injustices of our time. On this International Women’s Day, we recommit ourselves to closing that gap. 

That means supporting girls’ education. Right now, 62 million girls worldwide who should be in school aren’t. Millions more are at risk of losing their access to education. This week, Michelle and I announced an initiative called “Let Girls Learn,” to help dismantle the barriers -- economic, political and cultural -- that stand in the way of girls who want to learn.

I’m convinced that a world in which women and girls are treated as equal to men and boys is safer, more stable, and more prosperous. Beyond those tangible benefits, this is simply a matter of right and wrong. Women and girls are human beings, full and equal in rights and dignity. They deserve to be treated that way, everywhere, every day. My Administration will continue working to make that vision a reality."

Dianne Feinstein wants hillary Clinton to 'Step up' and address email controversy


Top Senate Democrat who has pushed Hillary to run for office says she is hurting herself more if she doesnt release her private email she used when contacting the Senate and urges her to make it public. 
"What I would like is for her to come forward and say just what the situation is. Because she is the preeminent political figure right now. She is the leading candidate, whether it be Republican or Democrat, for the next president, to be the next president" says Dianne.
Hillary tweeted, "I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible."

Bill Clinton was asked if he thought his wife was being treated fairly on the top and he declined to speak about it for the news. 


Now it is being said that there are emails missing from Clintons email.

A reenactment of Bloody Sunday March occurred this Sunday. As a part of all the events to help remember the 50th anniversary if a turning point in the civil rifts movement.


Some people who participated Sunday wee also going to march on Monday to Montgomery for the route of Martin Luther king jr.

President Obama visited Selma on Saturday "in acknowledgement of ongoing racial tension and attempts to limit voting rights, declared the work of the US Civil rights love my advanced but unfinished"

We remeber the 18 year old Michael Beown who was killed by the white police officer in Madison, Wisconsin during this time therefore sparking protests there as well.

Obama says he'll walk away from deal if Iran can make a nuclear bomb.

Obama stated "if we cannot verify that they are not going to obtain a nuclear weapon, there's a breakout period so that even if they cheated we would be able to have enough time to take action, if we don't have that kind of deal, then were not going to take it."

On behalf of Obama Secretary of State john Kerry is negotiating a deal to help out Iran in exchange for Iran to make their government limit nuclear action.

Obama goes on to say that he wouldn't make if deal if he could verity that Iran isn't making weapons.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the potential deal. He thinks that it enabled Iran to have a "vast nuclear infrastructure, which mtsnd a very short breakout time to the bomb"

He goes on to say it's bad bc Iran has fooled inspectors so there is no real way of knowing if there is weapons or not.

"The better deal is to increase the breakout time, to limit Iran's infrastructure and secondly to condition the lifting--link the lifting of restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in the future to Chang in Iran's behavior"
