No, it likely has more to do with an assassination attempt on US soil.

There's a lot of lobby money tied into that but there's another policy pill that's hard to swallow, as well. The US has stated numerous times that after the assault on Hamas is over, Palestinians should and need to be the ones to govern themselves either through a new government or the Palestinian Authority which has been kept out of power since Hamas assumed rule in the West Bank. Israel hasn't committed to that solution and without the US, there is no one to make them commit. So if the US pulls out, now, Israel still won't stop and the resolution will be Palestinians living under Israeli rule. There isn't a right answer or path forward so they're opting for the least bad, long-term.

Peat, too! It's one of the best carbon sinks we currently have.

But that isn't how technology works. We'll need carbon capture to be at a point where we can actively remove carbon from the atmosphere at a higher rate than it enters the atmosphere as we ween off carbon fuels if we ever want to survive climate change long term.

Yeah, but he did maintain a positive outlook all the way through.

If I have 100 acres of land and cut down 66 acres last year, this year my maximum output is 50% of last year's output but 100% is still going to be gone.

No, it's a well fleshed out theorem and is mathematically correct

Just a reminder, Santa is real in that universe and is one of the most powerful beings living in it.

He's facing 115 but won't be sentenced until March

The flaw of the meme isn't that it's picking on religion, the flaw of it is that it assumes illogical views negate logical views. Believing that angels hid golden plates in New England doesn't negate good looks at a P&L in the same way that a Christian working at NASA that believes a dude rose from the dead doesn't negate good math to get a satellite into space. In the same way that me being agnostic doesn't mean I'm always logical and rational in every situation.

Now people unironically ask Irish bartenders for car bombs and don't see the issue.
