Today, on a daily online news-sheet I usually browse, as part of my daily information sourcing, someone chose to include a repeat of the video featuring Carl Sagan with his interesting and moving Small Blue Dot monologue.

They Are Animals – And I Apologise to Other Animals for Making that Comparison
'Kiev blocks every effort to take bodies of Ukrainian soldiers from battlefields near Kursk' - TASS - April 22, 2025 It would be appropriate for Russia to level Ukraine - outside the parts that are Russian - remove the good topsoil and any underground minerals that can be retrieved, turn it into a huge cesspool...

So, Even TASS is Not Immune from Propagating Climate Misinformation it Seems. Here is the real story…
First, what TASS reported, from JAXA... 'Seasonal peak of Arctic ice area has shrunk to all-time low — JAXA' - TASS - April 21, 2025 There is some truth in that, but it is misleading.

Russia Remains Unimpressed and Unpressured by US Antics to Solve Their Own Ukraine Problem
By their nature, Russians find it difficult to be rude or dismissive to the attempts of others to influence, goad or apply pressure on themselves. Not universally so of course, but generally speaking that is not how they operate. Donald Trump on the other hand, and his ilk, tend to operate in very different ways.... Continue Reading →
