The U.S. Army plans to remove a Confederate memorial from Arlington National Cemetery, defying congressional Republicans who have protested the move.
The U.S. Army intends to remove a Confederate memorial from Arlington National Cemetery next week as part of its ongoing work to rid Defense Department property of divisive rebel imagery, defying dozens of congressional Republicans who have vociferously protested the move. A woman representing the American South, standing atop a 32-foot pedestal, lords above most other monuments within America’s most revered resting place.
It portrays, according to the cemetery’s, that the Pentagon would overstep its authority by removing the memorial and they demanded that all efforts to do so stop until Congress works through next year’s appropriations bill. The memorial “commemorates reconciliation and national unity,” not the Confederacy per se, the group led by Rep. Andrew S. Clyde (Ga.) claimed

Aligning National Greenhouse Gas Inventories with Mitigation PathwaysA comparison of national greenhouse gas inventories (NGHGIs) and scientific assessments of anthropogenic emissions reveals a large difference in present emission estimates. Aligning the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-assessed mitigation pathways with NGHGIs shows that achieving global mitigation benchmarks becomes harder, requiring earlier net-zero COtiming and lower cumulative emissions. Weakening natural carbon removal processes can also mask land-based removal efforts, potentially turning land-based carbon fluxes into emissions sources by 2100.
