A look at the average global temperature anomaly for every April-June period since the year 1850... Data provided by @noaa.gov NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...)
A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each April-May-June from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in April-June 2025 was 1.1°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.

The sad irony… The ACA—mocked as “Obamacare” by the right—insured 30M people. Half the country hated it. Republicans tried to “repeal”, NOT “replace” it. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is projected by Yale to cause 51,000 preventable deaths. And most Americans still don’t realize what’s coming.

Charles, who serves as Canada’s head of state, is the first British monarch since 1957 to preside over the opening of a new Canadian parliament. Continue reading...
