Perhaps the Committee on Publication Ethics might include in its guidelines:
When an article is retracted, publishers should notify authors of all papers which have cited it.

We might ask similar questions about training, orders, guidelines, discipline and whistleblowing at ICE.
Has anyone publicised incentive structures in ICE - such as quotas, targets and bonuses?
Is there scope for these systems to be challenged in court?

Could a US legal expert provide information/views on this, or give context -
What are the duties of members of the US armed forces if ordered to:
a) consider,
b) plan,
c) prepare for,
d) facilitate,
or
e) give purported justification for
action which would be unlawful if carried out?

So the government is letting primary schools tell kids, and imply, that
"families have a mummy and daddy, and sometimes just a mummy or daddy"?
It's not even factually accurate, or consistent with same-sex marriage being lawful.

Degenerative "AI".
Also: the more that statistics on serious attacks are dominated by those who know each other, the less relevance to most people's safety.
It's perhaps worth noting that even when we don't know where we may be wrong, we may still be able to think about how to guess at sources of uncertainty - such as by thinking about
- how we've been biased in the past,
- what mistakes others have made,
- how we have defined key concepts and ...
...as well as varieties of ways of thinking with the purpose of finding clues to the unknowns that may be useful (visualising, analysing language and so on).
... how those concepts may be limited or dubious or based on categories which may be no more justifiable than others.
And that there are ways other than thinking which can prompt us to conceptualise differently (intuition, dreams, analogy, fiction) ...

Let's think of other ways to conceptualise this.
"Unlimited irresponsibility"
"Unlimited damage potential"
"Unlimited recklessness"
"Limited liability" concerns the welfare of the offender, rather than others.
Let's take a little time to consider what Trump and his allies may be doing behind the scenes, in the form for instance of instructions to agencies on surveillance.
If your government has a realistic plan in case of a sudden and massive disruption to fossil fuel supply (through war or otherwise):
It can probably use a lot of that plan now for the climate crisis.
If it doesn't have that plan:
It's probably failing on both counts.

Yes, it's important for people to understand climate effects of outsourcing to other countries (including both emissions and lost forests).
Also material footprint (end of article)
www.escoe.ac.uk/the-uks-hidd...
and pollution/habitat destruction effects of outsourced manufacturing/farming.
"Adding up some domestic emissions that your largely service economy causes and going on about "net zero"
without
telling people each time what you are talking about
is a bit like
paying your poorer neighbour to burn your rubbish and implying you haven't caused any smoke."
Is that fair?
Climate impacts of a country on others, in addition to domestic emissions, include impacts caused or partially caused outside its borders, through for example:
Outsourced emissions
Shipping, aviation
Subsidiaries
Financing pollution
Failure of companies/governments to warn of dangers
Military
Shall we call traditional peer review
(for example,
secret,
only involving a couple of reviewers who may not between them have all the required skills, knowledge and experience, and
unpaid)
initial peer review: IPR?
Shall we say
"published article" (or "draft" if the authors prefer) instead of "preprint" if it's published on the internet,
and
"traditionally published" or "published with a claim of initial peer review" if it's traditionally "published"?
