Education Ministry addresses butter knife case and alarm

Jun 8 2023

Following the report by Times of Malta that a fight had taken place between two 12-year-old girls in a Naxxar school that involved a butter knife, the education ministry issued a public statement to clarify how the facts were being blown out of proportion.

The Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation, presided over by Minister Clifton Grima, stated that no act of violence is tolerated and thanked the educators for their immediate addressing of the situation.

‘In all the schools of the country, as is being done in the Naxxar school, massive good is being done by the educators, who with dedication and hard work give the best education to all students.’

The statement outlined the exact progress of events in the altercation and went on to say that any other version is incorrect and causing alarm for no reason whilst also undermining the educators’ work.

The statement highlighted how the student who grabbed the butter knife was immediately stopped and did not allow for any further fights.

‘The school staff took immediate action and sent for the parents on the same day. Apart form disciplinary actions, the students are being given the necessary assistance by the psychosocial team of the college itself.

Earth warming at record 0.2°C every 10 years

Jun 8 2023

A new climate warning has been issued which suggests that the world is warming at a record 0.2°C per decade.

50 top scientists warned that record-high greenhouse gas emissions and diminishing air pollution have caused an unparalleled acceleration in global warming.

In a peer-reviewed study aimed at policy-makers, human induced warming between 2013 and 2022 has been increasing at an unprecedented rate of over 0.2 degrees Celsius every 10 years.

The all time high of 54 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide and other gases, about 1,700 tonnes every second, was reached in average annual emissions over the same period.

The data will be presented at the COP28 climate summit later this year in Dubai, which will assess progress toward the 2015 Paris Agreement goals.

It was found that, ironically, one of the big climate success stories of the past 10 years – the gradual drop in use of coal – has hastened the pace of global warming. This is because it has reduced the air pollution which shields Earth from sun rays.

Particle pollution from whatever source dampens warming by about half-a-degree Celsius, meaning that, in the short term, more of that heat will reach the planet’s surface as the air becomes cleaner.
