I don't see a forest. I just see a drawing of a forest. Maybe in a couple decades it will be a forest. Right now probably just saplings.

carbon and carbon dioxide aren't synonyms. I tried carbon first aswell, but it doesn't take much thinking to just say the full name instead.

I lived here since 1992. Absolutely never heard of some one being lashed for drinking alcohol. In fact I was personally drinking out in public just 2 days ago with no repercussion?

Please remove this part it is false.

Check this out before going out for another drink:

"The government interprets sharia as allowing corporal punishment for certain criminal offenses, including court-ordered flogging in cases of alcohol consumption and extramarital sex by Muslims. Courts typically reduced sentences to imprisonment or a fine. The Supreme Judicial Council reported six convictions that resulted in flogging sentences in 2018."
