Research reveals how Earth got its ice caps
The cool conditions which have allowed ice caps to form on Earth are rare events in the planet's history and require many complex processes working at once, according to new research.
phys.org
We now know that —is due to a coincidental combination of very low rates of global volcanism, and highly dispersed continents with big mountains, which allow for lots of global rainfall and therefore amplify reactions that remove carbon from the atmosphere," he explained.

Not to be confused with a Latin American tamale, a tamale pie is a beloved retro casserole in the U.S. Serve this one-pot meal on its own or with a creamy dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
Vegetarian Tamale Pie Recipe
Not to be confused with a Latin American tamale, tamale pie is a comforting retro casserole made from ground beef chili that is topped with cornbread batter and then baked This vegetarian version relies on vegetables and beans instead of meat Fresh green chiles and onions are broiled until charred to deepen their flavor, then puréed with tomatoes to make a complex sauce for the beans

“Not knowing what hospital [Leqaa] was in, what her condition was like, whether she was even alive or dead, was agonizing,” Kordia’s mother said in a statement to Zeteo provided by her team. “Like any other mother, I was worried sick.”
First, the Trump administration said it detained Leqaa Kordia for an immigration violation.
Then, they used her participation in a pro-Palestine Columbia protest to justify it.
Now, they say she supports Hamas because she sent money to family in Palestine.
She has been detained for nearly a year:

Why Has This Columbia University Protester Been in ICE Detention for Nearly a Year?
Leqaa Kordia's family worries about her health after she was briefly hospitalized last week. DHS refused to give them information about her condition and she is still 'very sick.'
