BREAKING: Alabama’s Republican governor Robert Bentley has officially resigned after being booked into jail on two campaign finance charges related to his misuse of office to hide an extramarital affair with a senior adviser.
“As the permafrost thaws, at the beginning the ground would collapse and form into lakes,” Chadburn explains. “Then, as the ground thaws more and completely disappears, it drains and you get much drier ground so all the ecosystems would change. For humans, any infrastructure built there is going to have problems if the ground collapses.”
From this, they calculated that if global temperatures rise two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, more than 40 percent of the world’s permafrost could thaw—amassing to six million square kilometers. Furthermore, for every additional degree Celsius of warming experienced, a further four million square kilometers (an area larger than India) could be lost.
#抵制美联航 昨天美联航Chicago飞Louisville的航班由于超售无法起飞，因为没有乘客自愿改签，美联航“随机”抽取4名乘客。被选中的一位年长的华人医生拒绝下飞机，说自己第二天一早要看病人，并称自己之所以被选中是因为是华人。随后三名警察登机并开始强力拖拽医生离座。医生大声惨叫，终究不敌，倒地后完全失去抵抗能力，眼镜歪斜，嘴角流血，被拽着双手拖地离开飞机。机上至少两名乘客录下施暴过程，众多乘客惊呼难以置信。 10分钟后医生再次跑回飞机，神情恍惚，抱住座椅喃喃自语“我要回家，我要回家”。美联航将机上乘客清空，用担架将华人医生再次强行带走。飞机晚点三小时起飞。 美联航对华人医生的凌暴是对我们每一个华人尊严的践踏！除了支持华人医生用法律武器维护自己的合法权益，我们全球华人应该联合起来，抵制美联航，因为如果我们自己对这种凌辱麻木不仁，类似事件还会继续发生，不管你是什么身份、学历、职业，没有人是安全的。 有录像有真相：https://twitter.com/jaysedavid/status/851223662976004096 媒体报道：Wapo just did an article, the man claimed to be Chinese: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2017/04/10/a-man-wouldnt-leave-an-overbooked-united-flight-so-he-was-dragged-off-battered-and-limp/
According to the Independent UK, Obama spent $97 million on travel expenses over his two-term presidency, which equates to an average of $12.1 million each year. Trump, however, has spent double what Obama spent per year, in less than 3 months. Let’s not forget to mention the fact that New York City has also been footing the bill for First Lady Melania Trump and son Barron to live in New York until he finishes school. According to the New York Police Department, it costs taxpayers between $127,000 and $146,000 per day in security costs to protect Melania and Barron. Currently, there’s a Change.org petition calling for the Trumps to foot the bill of the first lady living in the Big Apple.
@☘彭定康 @You pay more FedTax than Trump! 克林顿家族卷土重来将在许多方面适得其反。将削弱民主党对特朗普总统任期的攻击，让民主党人更难重建该党。多数美国人对调查俄罗斯在美国大选中扮演的角色已失去兴趣。希拉里的回归更容易分散公众的注意力。克林顿家族的卷土重来也是对美国民主体制的损害。
