Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate. A detailed statement on comments and WSR policy can be read here.

Yes indeed, he did that, using either his godlike (godly?), reality-redefining powers or vast quantities of, paradoxically, hot air. Or maybe both.

And to think, this is merely the beginning of his global ambitions….

How is it that an entire generation of people (poorly educated because our system is failing us) doesn’t understand that Geenland is icey? And Iceland is green?
