New draft of plastic pollution treaty doesn't limit production but calls for a global response
New draft of plastic pollution treaty doesn't limit production but calls for a global response GENEVA (AP) — The latest draft of a treaty to end plastic pollution would not put a limit on producing plastics, but recognizes that current levels of production and consumption are 'unsustainable' and global action is needed. Nations are meeting at the United Nations office in Geneva to try to complete a landmark treaty to end the plastic pollution crisis. The draft, released early Friday, contains new language to say these levels exceed current waste management capacities and are projected to increase further, 'thereby necessitating a coordinated global response to halt and reverse such trends.' This falls short of the limit that many countries sought, but could pave the way for one in the future. The objective of the treaty was also revamped to state that the accord would be based on a comprehensive approach that addresses the full lifecycle of plastics. Panama helped lead an effort to include plastic production in the treaty. Panama Climate Envoy Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez said it's not the treaty they want, but it 'can be the springboard to get there.' The biggest issue of the talks has been whether the treaty should impose caps on producing new plastic or focus instead on things like better design, recycling and reuse. Powerful oil- and gas-producing nations and the plastics industry oppose production limits. They want a treaty focused on better waste management and reuse. Thursday was the last scheduled day of negotiations, but work on the revised draft continues into Friday. Every year, the world makes more than 400 million tons of new plastic, and that could grow by about 70% by 2040 without policy changes. About 100 countries want to limit production. Many have said it's also essential to address toxic chemicals used to make plastics. While an earlier draft contained no mention of chemicals, this version could lead to the reduction of plastic products containing 'a chemical or chemicals of concern to human health or the environment,' as well as the reduction of single-use or short-lived plastic products. Negotiators are still deciding whether the measures in that article would be voluntary or binding. If adopted, parties would have to take measures to ensure the better management of plastic waste. They could be required to take steps to improve the design of plastic products to be recycled and reused. They are deciding whether the section on product design would be voluntary or binding. Delegates will discuss the revised version when they reconvene later Friday. The earlier version was widely panned. Many countries said it was not ambitious enough. Some petrostates said it didn't have the scope they wanted to set the parameters of the treaty or precise definitions. ___ The Associated Press' climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Former Delaware Gov. Mike Castle dead at 86
Former Delaware Gov. Mike Castle, a Republican moderate who championed creating the popular 50 State Quarters Program of commemorative coins while he served in Congress, has died. He was 86. The Delaware Republican Party announced that Castle died Thursday in Greenville but shared no other details. Advertisement Ex-Delaware Gov. Mike Castle has died at the age of 86. AP Castle was among Delaware's most successful politicians, never losing a race until his stunning upset in a 2010 primary for the U.S. Senate seat that Democrat Joe Biden held before becoming vice president. During his 18 years in Congress, Castle became a leader of centrist Republicans, earning a reputation as a fiscal conservative and social moderate not afraid to challenge the party line on issues ranging from government spending to environmental protection and abortion. Advertisement As Delaware's lone representative in the U.S. House from 1993 to 2011, he supported a pay-as-you-go policy for both spending and tax cuts. Castle played roles in improving child nutrition programs and establishing the No Child Left Behind education reform program. His signature issue in Congress was the commemorative quarters program that featured coins honoring each state, starting with Delaware. He died Thursday in Greenville, Delaware, according to The Delaware Republican Party. AP Advertisement He was dubbed by the coin grading service Numismatic Guaranty Company as 'The Coinage Congressman.' The quarters boosted federal revenues as they were taken out of circulation. He also helped establish a similar program honoring U.S. presidents with dollar coins, beginning in 2007, and an 'America the Beautiful' quarter program honoring national parks, monuments and nature areas starting in 2010. 'The Honorable Michael Castle embodied the best of public service — moderation, integrity, and a steadfast commitment to all Delawareans,' Delaware GOP Chairman Gene Truono said in a statement Thursday. Advertisement Castle had been a state lawmaker and lieutenant governor before becoming governor in 1985. Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer ordered flags flown at half-staff for the next week in Castle's honor. 'During his time as governor, Mike Castle visited every single school in our state, including mine, where he spoke to my high school class with the same warmth, humility, and commitment to public service that defined his career,' said Meyer, a Democrat.

Alex Jones' Infowars assets will be sold to pay over $1B in debts to Sandy Hook families: judge
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones will have to sell his Infowars' assets to pay more than $1 billion he owes to the families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, according to a Texas court ruling. A court-appointed receiver will be responsible for taking over and selling the assets of Infowars to pay off Jones' debts to Sandy Hook families, according to an order signed by Judge Maya Guerra Gamble in Austin on Wednesday. The order has the potential to shut Jones out of his studio in the coming days — forcing the conspiracy theorist to fork over the company's property, recording equipment, and brand name, the filing indicated. 3 A court-appointed receiver will be responsible for taking over and selling the assets of Infowars to pay off Jones's debts to Sandy Hook families. AP His debts amount to a whopping $1,288,139,555, according to court documents. The Wednesday ruling appeared to restart an effort by The Onion to buy Infowars and its assets to turn the platform into a parody site. 'We're working on it,' Ben Collins, chief executive of The Onion, said in a social media post Wednesday. Last year, the satirical outlet won a bankruptcy auction for Infowars, backed by Sandy Hook families. But a federal bankruptcy judge halted the sale in December of last year, criticizing the bidding process as flawed. 3 On his daily show on Thursday, Jones blasted the court order as improper, claiming he already has another studio set up in the event Infowars is shut down. AP On his daily show on Thursday, Jones blasted the court order as improper, claiming he already has another studio set up in the event Infowars is shut down. 'People want to hear this show,' said Jones, who is based in Austin. 'I will continue on with the network. They can harass me forever. … And they won't get me off the air,' he said. Relatives of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting sued Jones in Connecticut Superior Court in 2018 after he spread the baseless claim that the massacre was a fabricated pretext to take Americans' guns. He was found guilty in 2022 for defamation after his false claims that the 2012 massacre, which killed 26 people, including 20 children, was a hoax. 3 The order also appeared to restart an effort by The Onion to buy Infowars and its assets to turn the platform into a parody site. Getty Images Mentally ill killer Adam Lanza, 20, used a Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle in his rampage, leading to widespread debate about gun control in the country. Lanza committed suicide after the massacre. Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit committed to ending gun violence that was founded after the Sandy Hook shooting, previously said it would advertise on a relaunched version of the site under The Onion if the sale of the platform went through. 'Today's order brings us a critically important step closer to achieving the goal that the Connecticut families have spent years fighting for: holding Alex Jones accountable for years of harm,' Christopher Mattei, one of the lawyers for the families, said in a statement to the New York Times. A contact for Jones' attorney was not immediately available for comment. With Post wires
