É evidente que há muitas posições de tensão em relação ao termo "Israel", porque são irracionais. Que um termo seja emocionalmente vinculado é nada mais do que normal, nada mais do que comum. Mas que as emoções prevaleçam sobre a razão é claramente prejudicial, particularmente para os judeus, sem dúvida, mas não apenas para eles. E é singular. Em Os Pinguins do Universal: Antijudaísmo, Antissemitismo, Antissionismo, Ivan Segré se propõe a retomar o fio condutor histórico e político dessa r...

It also uses up the Earth's ...

A state-of-the-art review of scientific knowledge on the environmental risk of ocean discharge of produced water and advances in mitigation technologies.In offshore oil and gas operations, produced water (the water produced with oil or gas from a well) accounts for the largest waste stream (in terms of volume discharged). Its discharge is continuous during oil and gas production and typically increases in volume over the lifetime of an offshore production platform.Produced ...
