Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil β but for some the transition has been brutal
Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euroβs worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

You can not take citizenship from an Australian citizen. The high court has made it clear. If you are Australian, you are allowed entry into Australia. Doesnβt mean authorities wonβt follow up or monitor you, but short of a complete border closure, you canβt be denied entry.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that sheβs setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.
She is going to be president somedayβitβs just a matter of time.
