    The meeting, which took place at an 18th-century villa, lasted three hours and gave the two leaders a chance to discuss a range of issues including cyberattacks, Moscow's crackdown on supporters of democracy and Russian interference in U.S. elections. Biden said he emphasized areas where "there's a mutual interest for us to cooperate for our people – the Russian and American people – but also for the benefit of the world."
    ...
    Perhaps the most concrete result was an agreement by the two leaders that the U.S. and Russian ambassadors should return to their respective posts in Moscow and Washington. Exactly when that might happen is still undetermined. Russia recalled Anatoly Antonov, its ambassador to the U.S., about three months ago after Biden described Putin as a killer.
    ...
    Putin said the two countries also agreed to start consultations on cybersecurity and on limiting the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Putin also suggested the countries would work to find some compromise on the mutual exchange of prisoners.

Is climate change a factor in the increased frequency of heat waves?

Yes
  62%
No
  22%
Unsure
  16%

366 votes, 44 comments

Context: Severe heat wave in Southwest US.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - Attribution of a single weather event to climate change is difficult and should be avoided due to the potential for others to incorrectly use cold weather events as evidence against climate change. The increased frequency, duration, and intensity of heat waves over multiple years across continents indicates a trend over time that can be viewed as climate as opposed to weather. That trend may be used as evidence for climate change.


No - Read “Unsettled” and become a more informed consumer of climate change /...



Unsure - We have a limited window into what is normal for our pl...
