Vladimir Putin knows that Donald Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize, observes @timothysnyder.bsky.social, so his obvious move is to suggest that the Ukraine war will end someday, and Trump will get the credit, if they just keep talking – while he keeps bombing. bit.ly/3UtLEK5

We would not be in the position we are in had fossil fuel companies ever chosen to do the right thing. But since the late 70’s, they’ve been covering their tracks, deflected, denied, & lied to the public, & polluted our minds, politics, bodies, & environment.
Self-styled climate “centrists” deflecting attention from the PRIMARY underlying contributor to these disasters (fossil fuel burning and human-caused warming) is a free gift to polluters and petrostates
