But no, it won't be a new ice age for us in Sweden. It should more likely be as this years summer has been, so far that is, and for me, lot's of clouds and cold with them, but when disappearing dry and hot. Maybe not as hot as the rest of the mediterranean, but hot enough.

Then again, I'm just guessing there, with that arctic looking more and more like a broken fridge with its door, and atmosphere, flapping wide open. It may be that we will find it a lot colder in summer too, and little sun.

It doesn't matter though, for the green house emissions heat storage. Those emissions will still be here.

No matter the Arctic, Sweden or the Antarctic we shouldn't forget that  " Human-caused climate change added an average of 30 days of extreme heat for about half of the world's population over the past year, according to a new study. That amounts to four billion people exposed to prolonged, dangerous temperatures. And the findings single out fossil fuel emissions as the cause of the blistering heat."

Something not expected to happen, yet. So global warming is accelerating on all points that counts. And the chaos grows, until finding a new semi stable balance. What we call a tipping, or phase change in physics. And you can't do with this as you've done historically, waiting to act until it became totally unbearable. And neither can you run from it. Or ignore it, as Mr Trump.

Why?

Because it never was anything more than a sham, just as those cop's has proven to be. Expedited by those with the most to lose on a change, helped by politicians. It was inevitable that too, looking at you in hindsight. And you liked it, the pledges, the talks, all those empty words. It meant something to you.

It may seem as unfair, the way I look at us in the West, and specifically USA. Especially when looking at countries outside. But it builds on what we call 'leader ship', and where that 'leader ship' has taken us, and the rest of the world.

So Russia want our militaries out of the Baltic?


turn it around, Russian 'peace keepers' in f.ex Finland, or any country bordering. Would we in the West want them there?

If I would guess about it I would say that Mr Putin is getting quite tired with our military buildup around Russia, and wants a return to what he told us, before this shitty war.

A new 'cold war'. And I don't find it surprising

Instead of doing something about global warming you're ready to spend the last wealth we have on armaments and wars. To what purpose?
