Rachel, why do you fail to mention that there are no women, Palestinian or otherwise, on Trump's Top Tier Board of Peace for Gaza?
Failure to even point out the absence of women (as FACT) supports modern patriarchal dominion of power.

Rare earth's are so difficult to separate out in the rock matrix. Like associated heavy metals, they also exist in coal, fly ash, and phosphate rock added to soils.
There is little to no research on long term impacts to the food chain! Innert in freshwater? Oceanic geochemistry has impacts.

When hydrogen levels in the atmosphere are high, climate-warming methane doesn't break down as fast so its global heating effects remain intense for longer. So, microbes that lower hydrogen in the atmosphere could be slightly slowing climate change.

The warming impact of hydrogen has been “overlooked” in projections of climate change, authors of the latest “global hydrogen budget” say.

We already knew forests were heavy lifters in reducing climate pollution. New research reveals the tiny microbes in tree bark can also “eat” climate gases.
