ARVADA Colo. (KDVR) — Slow down and watch your surroundings: That's the message some neighbors in Arvada want to send after a driver ran a stop sign, striking a horse and the rider.The impact from that crash was so hard that the horse had to be put down. When will you get your next TABOR check? It's not surprising to neighbors. They said drivers blow past the stop sign in the area of West 52nd Avenue and Eldridge Street all the time, and they told FOX31 it was a matter of time before something tragic like this happened.If you travel in the area, you're bound to see the sight of riders on their horses. Kristen Canelli owns and operates Sundance Stables.“We have about 40 horses here," she said. “You don’t go into the boarding business to make money. It's for the passion and love of the horses."It's that love for the horses that brought her to tears when she learned what happened Saturday around 2:30 p.m.“It was absolutely senseless," Canelli said. "It did not have to happen."Fast dr...

The Qatargate Files:How Europe’s crypto queen was brought down by cashThe Qatargate story overflows with bundles of banknotes stashed in odd places, with around €70,000 even ending up in the trash, according to one suspect.By EDDY WAX, ELISA BRAUN and GIAN VOLPICELLIin BrusselsShe was the European Parliament’s loudest cheerleader for cryptocurrencies. But Eva Kaili’s glittering career as the Parliament’s vice president collapsed when police raided her home a year ago and found €150,000 euros in old-fashioned cash. Kaili and her partner Francesco Giorgi were among the Brussels high fliers handed preliminary charges in one of the biggest corruption investigations ever to hit the EU institutions. Now, hundreds of leaked documents from the inquiry — seen by POLITICO — reveal eye-opening new details about the dramatic investigation, based on secret surveillance, confessions and evidence snatched during police raids. The long-running probe into the case is yet to concl...

Saving the world’s forests through carbon markets isn’t just ‘greenwashing’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:43 GMT

Graham Stuart is a British MP and the United Kingdom’s minister for energy and net zero. Samuel A. Jinapor is Ghana’s minister for lands and natural resources. Vickram Bharrat is Guyana’s minister of natural resources.The term “greenwashing” was coined by the environmentalist Jay Westerveld in 1986, after he noticed hotels had signs in bathrooms asking guests to reuse their towels to save the planet. Why, he wondered, were hotels passing the onus onto guests instead of doing more themselves? But today, the term “greenwashing” has become so ubiquitous, it risks dismissing almost any effort to transition to net zero.Voluntary carbon markets have been at the forefront of allegations of greenwashing in recent years. These are markets that trade in units of carbon, and corporations can use them to offset their emissions and deliver additional carbon savings.Carbon credits linked to forest initiatives have attracted particularly strong criticism recently, with companies ...

German budget crisis strikes at heart of the Greens’ ambitions

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:43 GMT

KARLSRUHE, Germany — Germany’s Greens thought their moment had finally come.After successive crises — the pandemic and the skyrocketing energy prices that followed Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine — it seemed time to double down on the party’s core mission: what party leaders call the “social-ecological” transformation of Germany’s market economy.For the Greens, who govern in the country’s tripartite ruling coalition with the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) and the fiscally conservative Free Democrats (FDP), the stakes of that transformation could hardly be greater.The green-energy transition would not only help Germany, the world’s 11th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in 2022, to meet the country’s ambitious goal of cutting emissions by at least 65 percent compared to 1990 levels by the end of the decade. It would make Germany an example to the rest of the world for how industry and consumers could prosper by embracing the vast societal changes needed...

WTF is the ‘Global Stocktake’? We explain the ‘heart’ of COP28

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:43 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Now the real work starts. The first few days of the COP28 climate conference featured so many lofty declarations and flashy promises that you’d be forgiven for asking what delegates are still doing here. But the main negotiations have only just gotten underway. At the core of this year’s summit sits something called the “Global Stocktake,” often abbreviated to GST — a nondescript name that conceals its vital role in international climate efforts. In short, it’s about drawing up a report card on where the world stands eight years after signing the Paris Agreement, and how countries plan to fix their inevitable shortcomings. That plan coming out of COP28 will help determine whether the world can stave off the worst impacts of climate change or careen toward unlivable temperatures. German climate envoy Jennifer Morgan called the stocktake the “heart” of the Paris climate accord; Toeolesulusulu Cedric Schuster, chair of the Alliance...

Celtics eliminated from In-Season Tournament with loss to Tyrese Haliburton, Pacers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:43 GMT

Aaron Nesmith took a transition pass from Tyrese Haliburton and dunked it over Al Horford. The former Celtic galloped around the court and chest-pumped Myles Turner as the rest of his Pacers teammates flooded the court to celebrate an imminent victory.The Celtics proved they cared about the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament with how they handled their final group stage game last week. They showed that mentality during stretches of Monday’s first ever quarterfinal game of the tournament. But ultimately, the moment meant more for the upstart Pacers.In a playoff-like atmosphere, the C’s couldn’t get the job done on Monday night in Indiana. Jayson Tatum scored 32 points and Jaylen Brown added 30, but their worst habits haunted them again. They laid another dud in the third quarter. Too many turnovers piled up. And then the Pacers – led by Tyrese Haliburton – raised their game to another level in the second half, as they handed the Celtics a 122-112 loss and sending them home from the...
