It just shows how poorly informed some of the general public can be, and how we can be at the mercy of governments.
I read today that Putin is making a show of strength on his local media, chest beating about Russia's dominance over the Artic region. But it's a bit odd, because he's basically touting icebreaking capabilities, when there is likely to be hardly any ice to break in coming decades! But I suppose if you are inclined to follow a tyrant then you are likely to think climate change is bogus also!
Or is the information the general public gets in Russia just that poor?
I'd find it hard to believe if not for my first hand experience of the Chinese public media which keeps China's citizens mostly in the dark.
