  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “If the Russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a Ukrainian request [of sending ground troops to Ukraine], which is not the case today, we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question.” 18 hours ago
  • David Cameron
    David Cameron “We will give three billion pounds every year for as long as is necessary. We've just really emptied all we can in terms of giving equipment. The aid package was the largest from the UK so far. Some of that (equipment) is actually arriving in Ukraine today, while I'm here. Ukraine has a right to use the weapons provided by London to strike targets inside Russia, and that it was up to Kyiv whether to do so. Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself.” 18 hours ago

“The southwestern US is in a protracted drought period, or megadrought, of the likes we haven't seen in the observational record in the last millennia. In the west this year, there's an astronomical fraction of land that is experiencing severe drought. This past winter and spring, lacklustre precipitation plus warm temperatures meant low snowpack in the mountains, resulting in rapid drying of the land surface.”

“Without human caused warming, we still would have had a drought, but the drought would not have been nearly as severe and wouldn't be able to compete with last millennium's megadroughts. It seems that the writing is on the wall — that even if this drought were not to become a megadrought because of some lucky years in the next decade, it's going to take more and more luck to stay out of megadrought conditions as we move into the future.”
