If I'm interpreting this figure correctly, it means no global temperature day in either 2024 or 2025 was cooler than the 1991-2020 mean. It's almost like something has changed.

The Florida dry season continues to exacerbate drought conditions, as the wet season ended on a dry note in September 2024. Since then, many areas have escaped impactful rainfall from the frequent cold fronts and meager moisture associated with the Arctic cold blasts so far this winter.

What if it wasn't even about the oil?
Yes. The folks who study election rumors and conspiracy theories are worried that a forced (and false) confession by Maduro (of 2020 election fraud) is a real possibility, and we’ve already seen some (wink, wink) foreshadowing of such a move.
Sadly, this actually sounds totally possible.

Among the other outrages in today's news from the @washingtonpost.com, management has gutted the Pulitzer-winning climate team, according to @sammyroth.bsky.social. Their work has been so important — one more reason to be heartbroken today. And pissed. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...

I pointed out there are about 200 journalists at the Philadelphia Inquirer and about 100 at the Baltimore Banner. Imagine losing both those publications in a day.
