Contrary to the hysterical paranoid anti-nuclear freaks, mild doses of radiation aren't dangerous, and might even be a good thing thanks to a process called hormesis. Scientific references: https://www.sciencedirect.com/...

This study is literally survivorship bias, serious genetic defects in reproductive cells prevent them from forming a viable fetus in the first place.

You're presenting evidence of atmospheric CO2 being the primary cause of climate change. Nights are warmer than in the past because the temperature difference between night and day is determined by the rate at which heat radiates into space through the atmosphere. CO2, being a greenhouse gas, causes the atmosphere to retain more heat. As CO2 concentrations increase we'd expect nighttime temperatures to become closer to daytime temperatures. You're also arguing that this will cause less extreme climate, which is false. The jet streams weakening has caused massive unseasonable temperature swings world wide, because that cool, polar air is no longer staying at high latitudes. Less cyclonic energy means less momentum and predictability in the system, it's not a good thing.

The entire purpose of foreign aid is to get something you want. There is no foreign aid WITHOUT a quid pro quo. And that isn't even what happened here. Nothing was withheld on the basis of investigating Biden.

The funding was delayed until news about the delay and Trump's motives behind it became public. That's just withholding until you get caught. If Trump's motives were legal, why would he release the money at all? It's just throwing away leverage.

Is the 737-Max flyable without MCAS? I would bet that the primary reason for the system wasn't to keep the plane like a base 737, but it keep it in the air at all. Once you've designed a huge hidden software override you might as well program it to behave like existing air frames, the regulatory rubber stamping is just a bonus.
