WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Sunday that American leadership was helping make gains in the global fight against climate change as he tried to reassure world leaders assembling for a historic conference in Paris that the U.S. can deliver on its own commitments. Obama was joining more than 150 leaders for the opening days of a two-week conference where countries are trying to negotiate an agreement aimed at avoiding a calamitous increase in global temperatures. "What makes this gathering different is that more than 180 nations have already submitted plans to reduce the harmful emissions that help cause climate change, and America's leadership is helping to drive this progress," Obama said in a Facebook posting hours before his scheduled late-night arrival in the French capital. "Our businesses and workers have shown that it's possible to make progress toward a low-carbon future while creating new jobs and growing the economy," he wrote.Read more on NewsOK.com

Why Lakeside’s Cyclone hasn’t run in 2 years — and what the 116-year-old park is doing to bring back its iconic roller coaster
Denver Post, Sunday - 06/30/2024 - 08:00 AM
People line up for the Merry Go Round at Lakeside Amusement Park in Lakeside, Colorado on Thursday, June 27, 2024. (Photo by Zachary Spindler-Krage/The Denver Post) Cheerful calliope music blared as the merry-go-round spun at Lakeside Amusement Park, harkening back to the sounds of an old-time carnival at this 116-year-old theme park just off the northwest side of Denver. Screams from teenage thrill-seekers riding the Spider, the Scrambler and the Wild Chipmunk punctuated the music as they whirled, flipped and raced on the same rides their parents and grandparents enjoyed when they were young.

Office market downturn not swamping financial system, but too many apartments might
Denver Post, Sunday - 06/30/2024 - 08:00 AM

Tenants are now requiring only 60% to 70% of the office space that they needed in 2019 because of the shift toward remote work that accelerated during the pandemic.
