# Environment / Climate / Chemicals / Infrastructure / Global Fears grow as residents at mouth of Amazon River face troublesome phenomenon: ‘Nature is revolting’: The Bailique Archipelago sits at the crossroads of the Amazon River and the Atlantic Ocean, and saltwater intrusion, when salty seawater pushes upstream into freshwater, is a natural phenomenon. However, rising sea levels and human actions like damming are causing water cycle changes, and brackish water is overtaking the river and inundating communities for longer periods.

In sum, the judgments raise serious questions about Kiev’s eight-year-long “anti-terrorist operation” against “pro-Russian separatists,” following months of vast protests and violent clashes throughout eastern Ukraine between Russian-speaking pro-federal activists and authorities.

The Socialist Trojan horse within the U.S. Christian church: In recent years, the number of Christians identifying as “Christian socialists” or “Christian communists” has skyrocketed in a way not seen in more than 40 years. Sarah Ngu, in her 2020 article “Why These Young American Christians Embrace Socialism,” wrote that during the past three years, “some American Christians have rediscovered this tradition and found themselves gravitating to socialism — in all its varieties, from democratic socialism to full-fledged communism.”

Canadian law endorsed by Trudeau government could imprison people for life for speech crimes: A Canadian law that aims to make social media platforms safer is getting flak for what some decry as government overreach. Introduced late last month, the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, would allow judges to imprison adults for life if they advocate for genocide. The law would also allow a provincial judge to impose house arrest and a fine if there were reasonable grounds to believe a defendant “will commit” an offense – a provision Wall Street Journal columnist Michael Taube likened to the 2002 film, The Minority Report.
