Boy abducted from California in 1951 at age 6 found alive on East Coast more than 70 years later

...

Luis Armando Albino was 6 years old in 1951 when he was abducted while playing at an Oakland, California park. Now, more than seven decades later, Albino has been found thanks to help from an online ancestry test, old photos and newspaper clippings.

In an interview with the news group, she (his niece) said her uncle “hugged me and said, ‘Thank you for finding me’ and gave me a kiss on the cheek.”

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission adopted measures announced on Friday that ask exchanges to validate carbon offset derivatives, which base their prices on those of financial instruments bought by companies to offset emissions.

Earlier this summer, Treasury secretary Janet Yellen unveiled guidelines for developers selling credits, and for the companies buying them to offset emissions. Former US climate envoy John Kerry has also thrown his weight behind carbon credit markets, launching a state department-led initiative in 2022 aimed at decarbonising regional power sectors.

Despite the political momentum behind efforts to develop voluntary carbon markets, Behnam cautioned that the energy transition would “take decades”.

“This notion that we’re going to be able to just transition to renewables in the near future and not rely on carbon-based energy sources . . . it’s not reality, right?” said [CFTC chair Rostin] Behnam. “The transition is going to take time.”

I've found thumbing your nose is the best way to show you don't give two shits. Sometimes it even calms them down when you show some silliness
