Thanks for reading and commenting, Ed. I agree the dance we are doing with the Russian bear is not adequate, it requires a more vigorous approach. To say we must live in 'hope' regarding climate change and the leaders presently at the controls is tantamount to the behavior of an ostrich. (head in the sand kind of thing). We really need a form of comprehensive action, globally. R.E.M. a band across the ages. Thanks. K
