I think Mr Trump got it right, about Mr Zelenskiy, however that now should be spelled. Not that Ukraine's 'new Churchill' is worse than anyone else hit and manipulated by forces outside his control, but I'm pretty sure Mr Putin wants him gone, before negotiating any sort of peace with Ukraine.

" The Hamas-run Gaza government media office said Hassan Majdi Abu Warda's death raised the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, to 220"

Better be a 'soldier', don't you think? Everyone equipped with a gun, toddlers as well.

"Trump says US wants to make tanks, not T-shirts"

No surprise Mr Trump, isn't that what you've been doing over there all the way since the second world war?

Seems no one want to state it right out. That damming is becoming a new type of blackmail, well, it has happened before. Water rights has always been disputed but with global warming at its heels it becomes more than a threat.

then again, what did I expect? Looking at what we've thrown in the trash can so far.

The Geneva conventions, pledges, peace, neutrality, humanism, etc etc.

It was, up to a limit, which we now have passed, in our industrial revolutions 'progress'. Damming yet another type of 'progress', and profits.

Do you know why we can find desalination plants to be profitable?

Because we no longer have the water. Now think of a global fossil ban, done to 2040

And ask yourself what that may make profitable.

I guessed at 2.9C myself, but it's with that as with that global fossil bans finish line. Where I found myself forced to move it earlier by each year passed. And in the case of temperatures  I think my new guess should be 2.9C, and up ...

So, while there's been new temperature records broken, almost daily, outside our Nordic regions 2025 we in Sweden has had a cold and cloudy spring, and what's more, it doesn't seem to stop?

One is the Arctic itself, acting much like a atmospheric fridge but with that fridges door starting to 'flap', releasing cold, and also, of course, those weird 'blocking patterns' we've been observing recently. But there is one thing more.

Well, it really doesn't matter how that cold blob of freshwater is connected to global warming if it gets released, with, what was it? Some 3000 cubic kilometers of it? Saw it somewhere? Don't ask me where. A huge amount no matter what, that possibly is starting to get released.
