Ok, let's take a break from these separate, and yet horrifyingly overlapping, threats to our society:
- Taste of Sicily - the ivermectin pipeline run out of a Palmyra pizza house.
- Wendy Bell - the Angel of Death, in all her mortifying glory
- PA State Senator Doug Mastriano - how involved was he in Trump's attempted coup?
And let's go back to an oldie but a goodie.
The science from the scientists at NOAA:
The December 2021 global surface temperature tied with 2016 as the fifth highest in the 142-year record at 0.83°C (1.49°F) above the 20th century average. Eight of the 10 warmest Decembers have occurred since 2014. December 2021 also marked the 37th consecutive December and the 444th consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th century average.
The scientists at NOAA also have something to say in this annual report:
The year culminated as the sixth warmest year on record for the globe with a temperature that was 0.84°C (1.51°F) above the 20th century average. The years 2013–2021 all rank among the ten warmest years on record. The year 2021 was also the 45th consecutive year (since 1977) with global temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th century average. Of note, the year 2005, which was the first year to set a new global temperature record in the 21st century, currently ties with 2013 as the 10th warmest year on record and 2010 ranks as the ninth warmest on record. Overall, the global annual temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.08°C (0.14°F) per decade since 1880 and over twice that rate (0.18°C / 0.32°F) since 1981.The planet has been warming up for the past century or so and is still warming up.
This is still a crisis.
The science is there and it's true even if you don't believe it.
