The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Falling fossil emissions have largely counterbalanced rising land use emissions over the past decade, leading to a plateau in global emissions. However, land use emissions remain quite uncertain, and gains made recently in reducing deforestation must be maintained.
