US citizens: tell US government officials to curb global heating and thus reduce the strength of hurricanes later in this century.

Comparing the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan with the US intervention in Vietnam.

To claim that the US entered the Vietnam War "in good faith" requires stretching that concept so far that in includes lying at every level, including the false "Gulf of Tonkin incident" in which North Vietnamese vessels supposedly made a feeble and useless attack against US navy vessels. It never happened — it was a lie told by the US military to the American people and the US Congress.

The main US motive for sending troops to Vietnam was to avoid a humiliating defeat. This is the international relations version of the "sunk costs" fallacy: "We've spent so much political capital on that fight that we can't afford to lose now." For a great power fighting a weaker country, that is a recipe for endless war.

The US intervention in Afghanistan follows the same pattern, except that Obama failed to do what Nixon and Gorbachev managed to do.

The troll's saboteurs will sabotage enrollment in the federal medical insurance system that the Republicans haven't succeeded in abolishing.

Maybe we need to curb the construction of houses in places that are probably going to burn, a few decades from now.

It's comparable to the issue of flooding: our greenhouse gas emissions are making worse floods in some seasons and regions, and worse fires in others, and we're encouraging people to put themselves and their property in harm's way.

The Buddhist practice of releasing captured wild animals harms wild animals and often exploits the people who practice it.

The article's conclusion is stupid, though. There is nothing mild about releasing alien species of lobsters where they don't belong. Species humans have introduced into places where they don't belong have caused the extinction of hundreds of species, perhaps thousands. The ongoing efforts to eradicate some of these species cost millions of dollars every year, in an effort to protect endemic species from extinction.
