War, War With Jaw, Jaw?

It seems somewhat trivialising to be worrying about environmental and medical issues, when we are having a major outbreak of war in Europe (https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2022/feb/24/russia-invades-ukraine-declares-war-latest-news-live-updates-russian-invasion-vladimir-putin-explosions-bombing-kyiv-kharkiv). The conflict between Russia and the Ukraine is, of course, yet another illustration of the slipperiness of words. Clearly, 'alternative truths' are alive and well, and powerful people are in a position to use them. One just has to hope that a nuclear winter is not the de facto 'cure' for climate heating.
