This article claims that President Hadi of Yemen was supported by Salafi Arabia even when he was installed in 2012.

Registering as a medical marijuana user in Hawaii and some other states makes a person vulnerable to various sorts of unfair treatment.

Global heating is visible in Britain's bird population.

The cold-adapted birds that now have trouble living in Britain are not immediately going extinct. They can survive in colder places. But as global heating continues, those places may become too hot for them, and then they will go extinct.

Fish, plants, and insects are also globally moving away from the equator.

China is planting trees massively to try to stop desertification. But the trees planted are not natural to the region, and not useful for the animals that live there. There are doubts about whether these trees are good in the long term for absorbing carbon from the air.

Are the trees they plant useful as lumber? If they cut down grown trees and use them for making houses or furniture, that wood will not return its carbon to the air any time soon. The forests could sequester lots of carbon if used as a plantation that way.

However, they still need to plant native trees in some places to host the other native species.

The cheater is considering setting up a private spying network that would bypass the CIA and could be used for kidnapings.

CIA agents were allegedly "failing to give the president the intelligence he needed," which could mean they were giving accurate reports instead of fake intelligence. Maybe they regret letting Dubya twist their reports to excuse the invasion of Iraq, the wreckage of the Middle East, and the resulting development of PISSI. Maybe the private spying network would give the bully the answers he wants.

I suspect that one side benefit of it would be to more easily bypass US laws that limit spying on Americans.

But we cannot be certain about any of this, and that shows the danger of secret operations by a government that spits on laws, human rights, and democracy.
