Regarding the Schell photo (which is VERY powerful) one of the less appreciated horrors of the Ukrainian conflict is that, in the efforts to reduce demand for Russian oil & gas, countries like Germany and other parts of Europe are replacing it with huge increases in coal, the dirtiest energy source available. You're also seeing record demand for coal in the developing world, as there's lots of it and it's a ready source of power. But no longer cheap, even though off its all-time highs, reached in early March. I fear there will be many more such photos of the sort highlighted by Orville Schell and his colleagues going forward.

Maybe someone could intervention Joe Manchin a la Clockwork Orange and drag him down to the Schell.
