After forcing us to pay $120 BILLION more for fuel because of his idiotic war with Iran, Donald Trump is now rolling back fuel standards so new cars get even fewer miles per gallon. This is a massive wealth transfer from working Americans to oil companies.

The last three months are the warmest on record globally, relative to every other June-July-August period since 1850. Data from NOAA/NCEI's NOAAGlobalTempv6.1.0.
Line graph time series of global land mean surface temperature anomalies for each June-August period from 1850 through 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly averaged for June-August 2026 was 1.21°C for global land areas. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline.
