I'm old enough to remember the #NYTimes calling on Biden to step down because he was slow and rambling when debating a madman who ranted about eating dogs and cats.
Now we just accept an utterly uninformed and offensive autocrat - and media companies pay him to leave them alone.

Europe’s top human rights court ruled Russia was responsible for the 2014 downing of flight MH17 and widespread rights abuses in Ukraine, including torture, executions, and forced displacement. The Kremlin rejected the ruling as “null and void.”

The article includes a table with data on peak discharge (A max [l/s]), quarter scale (A Quarter Scale [%]), volume (A Volume [%]), and tree scale (A Tree Scale [l]) for four events (#1 to #4). The table shows the differences in peak discharge and volume between observed and modeled values, with highlighted text emphasizing the differences in peak discharge at the quarter scale, which range between 17% and 27%.
The highlighted text in the image states: "The differences in peak discharge at the quarter scale range between 17% and 27% and, therefore, exceed the differences between observed and modeled peak runoff for all events. Predicted changes in peak runoff associated to changes in tree coverage therefore clearly exceed the inaccuracy of predicting model discharge by an order of magnitude. The values are highest for events 2 (27%) and 1 (25%), while they are lower but still in the order of 15–20% for events 3 and 4. Likewise, changes in volume reach up to 17% for event 2 if trees are not included. Similar values are reached for event 1 and 4 (15%), and for event 3 (11%). These rates of change demonstrate that the coverage of trees, though no dominant land use fraction, is important for reducing water during heavy rainfall events. The average tree-scale values are remarkable: Peak runoff is reduced by 0.139 ± 0.033 l/s for all events. Even though the corresponding contribution of reducing peak runoff is small (~0.04%), the average value of 0.139 ± 0.033 l/s is still a tangible result. In terms of volume, the relative contribution for each tree is also small (~0.02%). However, the average difference in volume computed (631 l) is still the value one expects from just considering maximum interception capacity: the average projected area of an average tree amounts to 439.5 l of intercepted water for each tree (439.5 l · 611 trees = 268,535 l for all 611 trees). This is an interception capacity yields up to 10 mm."

It make one sick to compare "a shining city upon a hill" to a country lead by an ex KGB officer, but that's exactly where we are now: the city isn't shining any more, and it is lead by a convicted felon, who was welcomed to office by a #dino (Democrat in name only) who pardoned his own son.
