The government of Iran has pardoned around 22,000 people who were arrested for participating in protests against the government's policies.

This decision is being seen as an attempt to ease tensions and promote unity in the country.

The protests took place in late 2019 and early 2020 and were sparked by a hike in fuel prices. However, the demonstrations soon turned into widespread unrest, with people calling for political reforms and an end to government corruption.

The Iranian government responded to the protests with a heavy-handed crackdown, arresting thousands of people and imposing internet blackouts to prevent the spread of information. Many people were subjected to torture and other forms of abuse while in custody.

However, in recent months, there have been signs that the government is trying to change its approach. The decision to pardon 22,000 people is a significant step in this direction. The move was announced by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said that the decision was made after a careful review of the cases.

The decision has been welcomed by many human rights groups, who have been calling for the release of political prisoners in Iran. However, there are concerns that this may be a temporary move and that the government may revert to its previous policies once the protests die down.

The pardons come at a time when Iran is facing multiple challenges, including economic sanctions and the COVID-19 pandemic. The government may be hoping that this move will help to ease tensions and create a more positive environment for dialogue and cooperation.

It remains to be seen what impact this decision will have on the overall political situation in Iran. However, it is a positive step towards greater respect for human rights and the rule of law, and it sends a message that the government is willing to listen to the concerns of its citizens.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
