“Seeing how the Nazi-loving Ukraine wants to erase all historical connections the country has had with the former USSR, I propose as only fair that it return all of the territories that same USSR gifted it with, viz. the ones Lenin and Stalin imagined they had the right to annex to Ukraine in the first place, back to Russia.”
“Tim Hidori Johnson writes:
“Pretty ironic that Ukrainian nationalists hate Lenin and Stalin so much, when their "country" would be so much smaller without them.
And frankly, from a linguistic point of view, Ukrainian and Russian are mutually intelligible, and thus Ukrainian is really just a Russian dialect and really the same nation as Russia to begin with. “”

“ It is becoming more and more evident that the U.S. story about a Russian false flag operation is a false flag operation. Given the long and unbroken history going back to World War II of the U.S. intelligence agencies lying to the American people in order to advance their own agendas (the WMDs in Iraq and Assad's gassing of his own citizens are but two of the more recent examples), we clearly are not "sharing the proof" only because there isn't any. The new liberal dogma: Trust government, intelligence agencies and mainstream media talking heads since you are not qualified to think on your own -- if you dissent from their conventional wisdom, then you must be a Russian puppet and a traitor. And to think that in the 1950's, '60's and 70's, it was the liberals who were warning us about intelligence agency mendacity and overreach. Only abusers demand that you continue to believe them even after they have been caught lying numerous times. It's called gaslighting. “”

According to a first-of-its-kind study published in The Lancet Planetary Health earlier this month, 9.4 per cent of global deaths over the past two decades could be linked with extreme temperatures. The vast majority of them are due to cold weather, but climate change is already exacerbating the risks of dangerous heat."

Don’t be fooled:
“Arctic Sea Ice extent is the highest since 2009, now above 14 million square kilometers. On the other side of the pond, Antarctic Sea Ice at an all-time low.”
“This is deceptive since the sea ice is still thin. The likely driver is particulates in the stratosphere from so many firestorms/fire tornados since the pyro-cumulonimbus put large volumes of particulates into that level if the pyro-cb extends into the stratosphere (an anvil cloud shows the demarcation). There was also a volcano in the Northern Hemisphere last summer. Those particulates can take 9-12 months to come down.
That also is partially why the winter is fueling a strong polar vortex but one that is not contained in the polar jet stream. If it were, it could help flash freeze that sea ice more. The issue as the article notes is how much is left in the summer. We will see.
But, in case someone uses this as negation of climate change/warming- it’s not. The particulates are largely off firestorms.”

"There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our successes. The fertle Earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And the children dying of (hunger) must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificates - died of malnutrition - because the food must rot (if not sold at a profit).
...and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage."”

“ACCELERATING LOSS OF GLOBAL SNOW AND ICE COVER
Ocean heat is at record levels. This heat is a threat for the Antarctic snow and ice cover. Antarctic sea ice extent was only 2.403 million km² on February 8, 2022, a record low for the time of year.
Ocean heat is reducing the sea ice around Antarctica and is getting underneath floating sea ice. The Thwaites Glacier, which is on a retrograde slope, is especially vulnerable to collapse. The Thwaites Glacier contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by 65 cm (25.59 inches) if it were to completely collapse.
Another danger of a rapid loss of the snow and ice cover on Antarctica is release of methane. Jemma Wadham warned about this in a 2012 study, as discussed at the post methane hydrates. More recently, Jemma Wadham said: “We are sleepwalking into a catastrophe for humanity.”
A recent study concludes that mountain glaciers may hold less ice than previously thought. Their disappearance means less water for drinking and agriculture, and faster temperature rises due to albedo loss. While the study found that the Himalayas contain more water than thought, another recent study, Mt. Everest’s highest glacier is a sentinel for accelerating ice loss, describes how human-induced climate change has a huge impact on the highest reaches of the planet.
The outlook for the Arctic is most threatening, as the post methane hydrates also concluded back in 2013, as described in numerous post here at Arctic-news and as discussed in a recent video by Jim Massa.
