Ryan McBeth is a military veteran YouTuber who regularly posts well researched, humorous and useful observations, usually on the nuts and bolts of military affairs from the point of view of a long time Army grunt.
He’s also no dummy, and has his eye on the bigger picture, as evidenced here.
Russia, by the way, has been a leading suspect in promoting disinformation around climate issues for many years, including the so-called “Climategate” emails hack, which first appeared on a Russian server in 2009.
I had posted an extended excerpt of Caroline Bueno’s amazing piece here, but she took exception to that, so I’ll just recommend you check out her great work on Substack.
Very nice work. Thanks for the effort!
Not only Russia and China, several prominent articles in worldwide media are blaming the power company or non-native bush, not mentioning the ever rising temperatures that climate change is causing at all.
Who or what are they going to blame for Tenerife or Yellowknife ?
“Thousands more residents of Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands have fled their homes as a wildfire that authorities deemed “out of control” raged on for a fourth day.”

“Climate change makes large, destructive wildfires more likely because of hotter temperatures and drier vegetation. Higher average temperatures are increasing the length of the fire season, the amount of land burned, and the number of places where fires can occur. In recent years, fires have expanded in the Arctic and even in some rainforests.”
