*Warmer winters are happening across the globe, and can be drivers of catastrophic weather events and profound changes.*

The Sami (formerly known as Lapps) have words for many different kinds of snow. However, due to climate mayhem, they are getting a kind of snow that they never used to see. It generates a layer of ice that blocks reindeer's access to plants they need to eat, so they go hungry.

Bolsonaro and his remaining followers try to cause havoc -- and spreading Covid-19 is one of the ways. Brazil has approved vaccination for children age 5-11, so Bolsonaro wants to expose officials who made the decision to danger of murder.

After the tornadoes, Kentucky is hit by heavy rains.

A house that remains open to the elements during rain can be ruined by mold in a few days. Many of these houses will be good for no use except demolition.

It is not clear to what extent climate catastrophe is responsible for the tornadoes, but it certainly has already caused bigger rains. Will anyone teach the people of Kentucky that the small initial wave of global heating has ruined people's lives? Their Republican officials will not.

It might be good for NATO to limit troop deployments to its eastern regions, perhaps 200 or 300 miles width extending in from their borders with non-NATO coutries, if in return Russia agrees to limit troop deployments to its western regions, 200 or 300 miles width extending from its border with other coutries including the Baltic countries, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. This symmetrical agreement would give neither side a military advantage but would discourage an attack by either side.
