Discovery of a thriving coral reef that is too deep for ordinary diving leads some to hope these species will not be wiped out by heat.

However, heat is not the only threat to marine life. Too much CO2 in the sea will kill all coral, and many other kinds of animals, by making the ocean too acidic for them.

We need to cut the CO2 emissions even if it isn't too hot.

Tunisia's dictator has now jailed 20 opposition leaders.

I too strongly condemn political Islam, but repression is not going to make that go away or result in a free country.

Governor DeMentis is hell-bent on punishing Disney. His latest plan is to build a prison next to Disney World.

I expect it will take years to start construction. By then, DeMentis probably won't be governor any more; his successor will not have the same grudge against Disney, so perse will make a deal with Disney.

DeMentis's mania for punising anyone that won't bend the knee to him is alarming.

However, Disney's being in a dispute with DeMentis, who is clearly our enemy, does not make Disney deserve our admiration. Disney is not our friend. Disney is one of the companies responsible for the Digital Millenium Coyright Act.

A medically-necessary emergency abortion provides an example of the dishonesty and price gouging of the US medical system.
