Every dictator guilty of crimes against humanity¹ deserves to be arrested and sent directly to The Hague.
What makes the U.S.' arrest of #Maduro problematic is the potentially disproportionate military strike and the lack of an ICC warrant – the one that Argentina had demanded in 2024.² #Venezuela

Argentina calls on ICC to order arrest of Venezuela's Maduro
Buenos Aires argues that recent actions of Nicolas Maduro's government could constitute crimes against humanity, asking for Maduro to be prosecuted before the International Criminal Court.

Now it's 15.1 and 17.0.
The rate of increase was very much nonlinear though: from October 2018 to October 2024 (six years) the tier 1 rate only climbed by 27%.
It went up 10.5% in 2024 and 20.7% in 2025 alone.

View a large rock tower behind another lower mountain peak near a pass with a small chapel (good for appreciating the scale). The mountain nearest to the pass has visible tunnel openings at its base above the talus fields. These are remnants of the frontline from world war I. Massive cumulus clouds are forming in the background, above them clear blue sky. The entire scene is bathed in warm late afternoon light of October. All the grass patches have turned into a rich coffee brown.

doi.org/10.1101/2024.10.30.621

The impacts of climate variability on the niche concept and distributions of species
Ecological demographers know that year-to-year climate variability influences the long-term growth of populations and thus their viability. Despite this, species distribution models (SDMs), widely used to project species’ geographic distributions based on climate, typically ignore inter-annual climate variability. Here, we show that climate variability plays a crucial role in determining current and future distributions of species. We achieved this by developing a new SDM framework, XSDM, tha…
