Biden: "This is not dissent. It's disorder. It's chaos. It borders on sedition. And it must end now" "The words of a president matter. At their best, the words of a president can inspire. At their worst, they can incite" This is a president who will defend the Constitution

Preliminary data show that the 2020 7% emission decrease is erased by a slightly weaker carbon land sink. This is almost impossible to grasp...
