This newsletter short, as I have been ill in hospital for nearly a week. (Fine now.) It did give me time to think. One thought: people liken the Russian advance on the Donbass, invasion of Ukraine, to the Nazis in WW2. That is so incorrect.

Climate. Scientists monitoring 'doomsday' glacier in Antarctic warn climate change happening faster than ever before. Ecological tipping points could occur much sooner than expected, study finds.
Christina notes. Cool thinking is needed on the Ukraine situation. Would Russia really blow up a nuclear plant that it controls? Two ruthless killer regimes, who hate each other, are now to cosy up for the benefit of the "peaceful" nuclear industry. What could possibly go wrong? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWa7BJAmzYY
