COMMENT 10

Since Friday I have only heard about the new variant of COVID which has been named Omicron. In any news program right now, they only talk about that new variant.

From what I have heard, it´s a very worrying variant because it has up to thirty-two mutations and has a high risk of reinfection, I don´t really know what that means but it sounds as if it is  very dangerous. And it must be because the variant was announced on Friday and on Saturday it was no longer possible to fly from southern Africa countries to the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States. Because now COVID is at maximum in the countries of the European Union.

We thought that everything was improving because we were vaccinated but it seems that this will not end for years.

Michael Jordan is considered by many to be the best player in the history of basketball. I´m not a big fan of basketball but from what I have seen and heard I understand that he is considered a legend. Comparing him with great football players, he would be at the height of Maradona.

One of his most memorable matches was the one he made in the last game of the 1998 finals against the Utah Jazz, in which with five seconds to go he scored  the decisive basket. When I saw him in the video I was shoked, incredible what he does to the other player, he tricks him intelligelly and puts the basket, I had never seen anything like it.

 On 12th November, the United Nations Conference on Climate Change ended. It had brought together one hundred and ninety- seven countries, bussinessmen, scientists, activists, who have tried to reach agreements and commitments to combat climate change and to progressively stop using coal.

But has it really served any purpose? It seems that not for much. One of the most relevant things was to reach zero carbon emissions, this objective seems unfeasible in the short term.

It seems hypocritial to me that all leaders go to the conference by private plane, which is so polluting. I think that goverments aren´t serious about solving this problem, it gives me the impression that they are´t interested because they have many benefits, it´s a problem that it is difficult to solve. From my point of view it takes more effort to sove.
