2/ This is impossible. I 'll do a new post when I get time. Most things require new laws and they can't get a far right majority in either house. Schedule F is the main executive decision option. If he tries again it is likely shot down as illegal. Meanwhile short thread.
2/ About why climate scientists often are so pessimistic about action on climate change. 
I don't speak Russian. But this is based on the official Kremlin translation into English. That section of the speech is always clipped just before the next bit which makes it clear he is talking about USA using carpet bombing in Germany as a precedent for nuclear bombs in Japan.
For Putin to try to use a nuke to stop Ukraine from doing its counteroffensive is like trying to use a cannon ball to stop midges that are already biting you. debunkingdoomsday.quora.com/Russia-can-t-w… 
Most diseases that jump to humans stop themselves. In this toy outbreak only one person in 2 infects anyone else and infects exactly one other. Starting with 4 infected, after 2 steps they infect 7 and that's the outbreak over. 
People remember the sun as yellow from their childhood but it's actually white and always has been. You notice that when it's behind clouds, a yellow sun would look yellow behind clouds too. 
If China peaks before 2030 and US halves by 2030 they will be at identical emissions per capita.

@Familyofivefan3 This is one of those places Ras al-Khaimah, in the UAE between the Persian gulf and gulf of Oman - when there were hot humid winds from both seas blowing inland into the city. 2/n 
@AvreddyReddy @davidsirota What species need is to preserve enough genetic diversity to deal with the situations they encounter. Humans have that. Example, developed lactose tolerance when we kept cows for milk, butter and cheese. dairyreporter.com/Article/2007/0… /2
Antibodies are only part of the picture! There's the T-cell response too which kills cells after they turn into virus factories - especially important for stopping severe disease - and memory B cells which means the body can ramp up with antibodies faster than first time.
@dgurdasani1 Timescale of 1-2 years comes from flu, a very different virus. Some think the pandemic in 1889 was OC43 but evidence is weak, could easily be just another flu pandemic. Polio, smallpox, measles, don't change virulence after decades of evolution. No experience from coronaviruses.
Limited data on safety & efficacy of boosters.
@DocLT2 This is steady state after centuries to 1000 years evolution without vaccines.
