Despite Climate Concerns, Young Voter Turnout Slumped & Its Support Split Between the Parties

By www.climatedepot.com
Published On :: Fri, 08 Nov 2024 17:41:27 +0000

As early exit polling comes out, it appears that young voters—often expected to reliably support Democratic candidates—did not vote as a monolith. Although Kamala Harris still took the majority of the youth vote, her margin of support from young voters, 6 points, was much smaller than Biden’s 25 point lead in 2020, and young men—unlike in 2020—broke in favor of Trump...
Alice Siu, associate director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab at Stanford University, said that young voters’ opinions were more diverse than may have been expected...
Climate Didn’t Necessarily Move Young Voters to Harris: Young voters also consistently rank climate change as an important issue, and in the lead up to the election some experts suggested that young climate voters could tip the race in favor of Harris.

Azerbaijani president & UN climate summit host calls oil a ‘gift of God’ in COP29 speech – ‘The people need them’ – Slams Western ‘fake news media’

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, has accused Western "fake news media" and environmental organizations of a slander campaign against his country, in his address to fellow leaders...Aliyev repeated his controversial quote that Azerbaijan's oil and gas reserves are a "gift of the God [sic]." "Countries should not be blamed for having them and should not be blamed for bringing these resources to the market because the market needs them, the people need them," he said. Oil and gas are natural resources, just like gold, copper, wind or the sun. "To accuse us that we have oil is the same like [sic] to accuse us that we have more than 250 sunny days a year in Baku," he said.

Suiza es un país en el que poquísimas cosas comienzan, pero muchas terminan
F. Scott Fitzgerald
 
A Matt Burris siempre se le encomendaban las misiones más difíciles, y si alguien podía infiltrarse en la organización bancaria suiza ése era él. Sin embargo sólo pudo cumplir su tarea utilizando recursos verdaderamente insospechados.
Margit Staeli era la heredera de una de las fortunas más grandes de Europa, pero su tío Dieter no quería mujeres a la cabeza de la empresa y confiaba en que el día que la muchacha se casara con Erich, su prometido, las cosas se solucionarían solas.
Cuando estos personajes se encuentran, la pacífica Suiza se transforma en el escenario de un juego mortal, en el que no sólo están en juego millones de francos sino también varias vidas humanas.
La novela transcurre en un ambiente de intrigas que se planean en viejas mansiones, dentro de coches de lujo que se persiguen por autopistas interminables, en restaurantes en los que hay que saber por lo menos tres idiomas para poder desayunar, en despachos desde los cuales se gobierna el mundo.
El choque producido entre las aspiraciones personales y los intereses del mundo de los negocios envuelve a los personajes en una maraña de traiciones, sexo y violencia, en medio de la cual hay, de vez en cuando, un gesto tierno, un amor auténtico, un sacrificio desinteresado.
Al atractivo del argumento hay que sumarle el interés de descubrir una imagen de un país y de ciudades que creíamos conocer. Con mucho humor y fina ironía el autor nos va presentando el rostro desconocido de los suizos.
El autor es un verdadero experto en la materia y nos revela los secretos de la evasión de divisas, de los institutos de belleza para mujeres internacionalmente famosas y de la forma cómo operan los Bancos para mantener inviolable el secreto de los depósitos que se hacen desde el extranjero.
 
Leslie Waller comenzó su carrera literaria como periodista, oficio que le permitió adentrarse en ambientes diversos y que le proporcionó un profundo conocimiento del mundo que describe. Entre sus novelas más famosas figuran The Banker, The Family y The Coast of Fear. Pasa parte del año en Nueva York y el resto en Europa.
 
MI COMENTARIO:
De las novelas de décadas pasadas que encontré en mis búsquedas, La cuenta suiza era una de las que más me intrigaba. Evidentemente, trataba sobre el manejo financiero en Suiza, pero quería saber si incluía el espionaje en su historia, y qué estilo tenía, ya que posee una cantidad de páginas importante. Debo decir que me sorprendió: Waller se toma su tiempo para realizar una radiografía no sólo de los negocios que puede tener un gran banco helvético, sino que también desnuda al país mismo. Es una verdadera novela sobre el espíritu suizo. Waller no se enfoca en el folklore o en las bellezas turísticas (aunque también aparecen), sino que nos permite conocer una sociedad cerrada (por lo menos hasta los años ’70), donde las mujeres tienen limitados derechos básicos, con los hombres poderosos decididos a mantenerlas así. Es un país retrógrado con dinero. Sin embargo, la figura de Margit Staeli, heredera de la gran fortuna familiar, educada en Estados Unidos, sexualmente activa, se erige como la posibilidad de un cambio desde adentro. Pero la novela tiene varias líneas de acción más, que van desde un intrigante negocio electrónico con empresas japonesas, hasta el delirio geopolítico de Woods Palmer, ex director ejecutivo de UBCO, uno de los mayores bancos americanos, que vive cerca de Lugano. Palmer fue protagonista de una trilogía bestseller de Waller, compuesta por El banquero (1963), La familia (1968) y El americano (1971). Alguna fuente web que no registré decía que apareció en varios libros más, aunque de forma secundaria; La cuenta suiza lo confirma (curiosamente, los sitios webs más importantes sobre ficción no certifican esta serie). Palmer mueve a Matt Burris, ejecutivo de UBCO, desde su puesto en Japón a Basilea para que contribuya con una misión secreta a tomar el control de las finanzas del país. En una charla con Curtis, encargado de las operaciones secretas de UBCO, el director retirado confiesa sus propósitos megalómanos:

—Hay que aprender a descifrar el lenguaje de los economistas —dijo (Palmer)—. Más de la mitad del mundo se encuentra en vísperas de graves problemas. Pero nosotros no formamos parte de esa mitad.
—Me alegra saberlo. ¿Quién los sufrirá?
—Los pueblos subdesarrollados —Palmer esbozó un gesto—. Yo no inventé el término. La gente marginal está demás. No se trata de los desocupados. Demonios, eso puede ocurrirle a cualquiera. Ocurre que esa gente no sabe hacer nada que le permita ganarse la vida.
—¿Ni siquiera cavar zanjas?
—Ni siquiera eso. Las máquinas lo hacen cien veces mejor y más rápido.
—¿Cultivar alimentos, o algodón?
—Muy pronto no se necesitarán brazos para ejecutar esas tareas —dijo Palmer con una sonrisa seca—. Ahora todo se hace con máquinas. Antiguamente un campesino de los lugares más remotos de África o Vietnam podía cultivar mijo o arroz, o cualquier cosa que le permitía vivir, con un pequeño sobrante que canjeaba por otros artículos necesarios. Pero la sequía está destruyéndolo, y el bajo costo de los granos producidos con máquinas viene a completar la tarea. Está acabado. Se muere ante nuestros propios ojos. Lo único que puede asegurarse con certeza es que el hambre se agravará cada vez más.
—Pero podemos enviarles lo que necesitan.
—¿Beneficencia?
—¿Por qué no? —insistió Curtis—. Lo hemos hecho durante generaciones en beneficio de los habitantes marginales de Estados Unidos.
Palmer meneó la cabeza.
—No hay mucho sentimentalismo en los dirigentes de los países prósperos. Exceso de inflación, que perjudica a demasiada gente. Un político que enviara alimentos a los pueblos hambrientos de la tierra no duraría una semana.
—¿De modo que tienen que morir?
Palmer guardó silencio, los ojos fijos en la palma de la mano, con los dedos extendidos.
—Tienen que morir.
Curtis se puso de pie y caminó hacia el ventanal.
—Y nosotros seremos los dueños de la tierra, ¿verdad?
—Eso mismo —confirmó Palmer—. Hemos infligido algún daño a nuestra ecología. Pero podemos repararlo si queremos. El problema es que nadie demuestra interés en eso. Porque además hemos hecho cosas peores aún con nuestro sistema de distribución. Un daño irreparable e incurable. De modo que esta gente tendrá que morir para que nosotros nos conservemos sanos y comamos más de lo que necesitamos.
—Y estemos ocupados ganando dinero.
Palmer levantó la vista para ver a Curtis que regresaba a su asiento.
—Eso se sobreentiende —dijo secamente.

Las palabras de Palmer suenan tan siniestras como actuales.
Entre Palmer y la familia Staeli se desarrolla una secreta partida de ajedrez, con mucho espionaje cruzado y un renovado romance entre Margit y Burris, que ya se conocían. El desenlace se acelera con la utilización de calculadoras electrónicas que funcionan como aparatos de filtración de conversaciones, manejados desde Japón. Una vez más queda claro que la ambición de poder siempre necesitará obtener, legal o ilegalmente, la información necesaria para tomar decisiones. Lo que uno teme es que la tecnología quizás evolucionó demasiado desde la publicación de esta novela, aumentando su capacidad de ser manipulada. Los Palmer de ahora están más cerca de conseguir sus objetivos.

EL DESCUBRIMIENTO DEL TITANIC
FICCIÓN QUE HOY ES REALIDAD
 
Información de contracubierta:
La acción del bestseller del año tiene lugar en 1988. El Proyecto Siciliano es el plan del siglo. Nada más importante desde la bomba atómica. Su éxito significará levantar una red protectora sobre todo el país, protegiéndolo de cualquier ataque exterior. Pero se necesita bizanio, carísimo elemento, que ya no se da en la naturaleza. El único bizanio que hay en el mundo está sepultado en el “Titanic”, hundido en 1912 y que yace en el fondo del mar, a más de dos millas de profundidad.

La crítica dijo:
“Extraordinario suspenso, salta de una emoción a otra, mantiene al lector tan cautivo, que nadie quiere que llegue el final”.
Publishers Weekly

“¡Rescaten el Titanic! es suspenso en su mejor sentido. Será tal vez el éxito del año”.
San Francisco Chronicle

“Cussler imaginó con genio y creó con perfección”.
Philadelphia Inquirer
 
MI COMENTARIO:
Un verdadero clásico en la literatura de espionaje y de aventura moderna, ¡Rescaten el Titanic! fue la tercera novela del escritor Clive Cussler sobre Dirk Pitt, agente de NUMA (National Underwater & Marine Agency), pero la primera que tuvo un gran éxito a nivel mundial, y que terminó por consolidar a la serie como una de las mejores del género, que ya va por el libro nº 27, The Corsican Shadow, publicado en 2023 por Dirk Cussler, hijo de Clive y continuador de sus novelas.
El presidente de EEUU autoriza y sostiene el “Proyecto Siciliano”, un esquema ultrasecreto funcionando a espaldas del Congreso y de la opinión pública, que busca dotar a su país de la invulnerabilidad frente a un posible ataque misilístico de la URSS. Para lograr su objetivo, necesita imperiosamente de bizanio, un mineral rarísimo que sólo pudo hallarse en el Ártico ruso. Se descubre que un cargamento de bizanio pudo haber sido transportado en el Titanic, famoso barco hundido en 1912. Contrareloj, se monta una operación dirigida por Dirk Pitt para llevarlo a la superficie y arrástralo hasta el puerto de Nueva York. Sin embargo, la KGB logró infiltrar a dos espías en el contingente de rescate, que recurren incluso al asesinato para malograr la misión. Sólo la poderosa mente de Pitt puede resolver este misterio y evitar una catástrofe.
Cussler crea a un héroe sólido, hecho a sí mismo, inteligente, intuitivo, seductor, misterioso. Un lobo solitario que sabe hacer su trabajo y que quiere lo mejor para su país. La novela tiene un fuerte espíritu de restauración post-Watergate. Más allá de los fallos, hasta de los delitos del pasado reciente, Pitt encarna la necesidad de que EEUU prosiga su lucha por la libertad y contra el imperio soviético. Hay una escena muy ilustrativa: la viuda de uno de los mineros que trabajaron en la búsqueda del bizanio a principios del siglo XX es contactada por la inteligencia norteamericana para que brinde alguna pista sobre dónde puede estar. Al principio se niega. Le dicen que tiene una llamada telefónica. Después de atender, pregunta emocionada si es cierto que el que la llamó fue el presidente de EEUU para pedirle su colaboración. Cussler reflota no sólo al Titanic, sino al sentimiento patriótico que su país tenía muy dañado a finales de los 70. Lo hace apelando tanto al cultivo de las viejas tradiciones de camaradería y de esfuerzo que crearon a la gran república del Norte, así como a la tecnología militar y marina, que tiene que priorizarse, incluso sobre las preocupaciones sociales. Cussler quiere ganar porque lo cree justo, y así lo demuestra en una gran novela de acción, de misterio y de pasión.
