I was quite cutting yesterday in my rebuke of a Russian news report from TASS, but I see now there was another such report released just a few minutes later, by the same news agency, on the basis of statements made by the same 'expert' - quite a well-known Russian climate scientist of impeccable reknown....

Russia Appears Poorly Informed on Climate Issues
Russia is a big country. Its vast spread encompasses many different climate zones. Russia is also an advanced scientific nation, leading the world in some areas of science. Russia is also a growing economic power, which is increasingly in recent years becoming self-sufficient and therefore more independent from outside influence. But despite these perceived but...

A surprising 2025 Ice-Building Year in the Arctic
I have to admit that while not overly concerned (because I knew it would not make much difference in the long run), the slow build of Arctic sea ice this year did prove cause for me to check its status more frequently than other recent years. I need not have done that, because 2025 has... Continue Reading →
It Was in Fact, Just another Nothingburger, Perhaps Even Just a Puckburger
I was pleasantly surprised that it actually turned out that way. You know I'm talking about the latest Trump-Putin conversation of course. 'Outcome of Putin-Trump call exceeds skeptics’ expectations, expert says' - TASS - March 19, 2025 It is difficult to understand how an invitation to a contest over a small piece of vulcanised rubber...

“Everything we’ve been told about climate change and food security is wrong.” – New Report
I have been saying this for around 18 months now. It is a complete tragedy. A crime of massive proportions even. A crime of greater proportions even than the equally tragic COVID farce. Somebody must pay. Perhaps a lot of somebodies - for telling lies. Lies that have almost turned our world into a dead... Continue Reading →
PM Albanese Wants to Send Aussie Troops to Ukraine? Ha-Ha-Ha-Hah! What a Maroon!!
'Albanese to join Ukraine 'coalition of the willing' peacekeeping call' - ABC News - March 14, 2025 I realise Albanese is becoming known for making stupid ideas not work, but this one actually takes the biscuit, the cake, and the bun. Ha-Ha-Ha-Hah! (sorry, laughing myself silly at this point). There was a response to this... Continue Reading →
Hey, Take a Look at This…
Here is something quite notable if you follow the ebbs and flows of Arctic Sea Ice Extent. March 15th this year, because of the extra day inserted last year (a Leap Year) equates to March 14th last year in terms of the day number from start of year. This year has reached its current peak... Continue Reading →
Ultimatums – Exactly As I said Yesterday…
Trump, still wet behind the ears, expects Russia to fold, easily... 'Trump expects Russia to agree to Ukrainian settlement deal' - TASS - March 15, 2025 Meanwhile, Putin, sharpest knife in the block, lays his first ultimatum on Trump - declaring this negotiation process is going to be difficult and may take quite some time....

It’s Time for the US to Receive its Own Ultimatums
I have always considered the writings of William Schryver (well, since I have known of the man anyway) to be one of the sanest and steadfast voices of anti-imperialism that I know of. His latest, succinct but pointed piece is no exception. Actually, on afterthought, it is something of an exceptional exception in that it... Continue Reading →
Not Something Else
