New tariffs imposed by President Trump are expected to significantly disrupt US car production and increase prices for consumers. These tariffs, which include a 25% rate on all foreign-made vehicles, represent the latest escalation in a global trade war. Trump's actions have already drawn retaliatory measures from Canada and Mexico, who have imposed new duties on billions of dollars worth of US goods. China is also impacted by Trump's tariffs, facing blanket duties of around 20% on top of existing 10% tariffs. Economists warn that these tariffs risk economic turbulence and potential voter backlash.

Iceland has experienced multiple volcanic eruptions in recent years, primarily in the Fagradalsfjall area (2021-2023) and near Grindavík (since December 2023). These eruptions are generally small, producing little to no ash and lasting for a few weeks to six months. A recent eruption near Grindavík, starting on November 20, 2024, prompted the evacuation of residents and tourists due to its proximity to the town and the popular Blue Lagoon spa. While most residents had already evacuated in 2023 due to volcanic activity, the current eruption is causing concern. Experts believe there is a high likelihood of further eruptions along the Sundhnúkur crater row, based on recent earthquake patterns. However, the precise location of these earthquakes needs further analysis.

Iceland has experienced multiple volcanic eruptions in recent years, including in the Fagradalsfjall area (2021, 2022, and 2023) and near Grindavík (seven eruptions since December 2023). These eruptions are relatively small, producing little to no ash and lasting from a few weeks to six months. Despite slower uplift, experts believe there's a high likelihood of a magma intrusion and/or eruption along the Sundhnúkur crater row as early as late January. Ground uplift and magma accumulation beneath the Svartsengi area continue at a consistent rate. While magma accumulation continues under Svartsengi, magma propagation and potential eruptions are more likely in the Sundhnúkur crater row. The Icelandic Meteorological Office's hazard assessment remains unchanged.

The Senate tradition of unlimited debate allows for the filibuster, a tactic used to prolong debate and delay votes. Before 1917, there was no way to end debate; in that year, a rule requiring a two-thirds majority (cloture) to end a filibuster was adopted. This threshold was lowered to three-fifths (60 votes) in 1975. While traditionally reserved for controversial issues, filibusters have become more common, often halting Senate business. The filibuster has a troubling history, as it has been used to block civil rights legislation. Exceptions exist; a group of 41 senators threatening a filibuster allows the majority leader to avoid a vote. Some advocate for exemptions from the filibuster for voting rights legislation. While criticized by some, filibusters are defended as acceptable in parliamentary systems.

The Government of Canada announced changes to its carbon pollution pricing approach. A carbon tax makes carbon-intensive products and activities more expensive than low-carbon ones. Provinces and territories can choose their preferred pricing system. The federal system has two parts: a charge on fuels like gasoline and natural gas, and a system for large industries. A carbon tax impacts the relative prices of different fuels due to varying carbon content. A new fuel price calculator translates carbon tax levels into price changes for fossil fuels. Fuel price increases vary across Canada due to regional differences in energy prices. The impact of a carbon tax on household and regional costs depends on how the revenue is spent. In Washington state, proponents of repealing the CO2 tax argue it won't lower gas prices. However, BP invoices show that eliminating the tax would lead to price reductions. This discrepancy raises questions about the validity of claims opposing the repeal.
