NASA released new global temperature data confirming record heat, while omitting any mention of climate change. Scientists warn this reflects growing political pressure and self-censorship, not uncertainty. Silencing hurts all of us.

NASA Releases Global Temperature Data Without Mentioning 'Climate Change' | Common Dreams
NASA released its findings on 2025 temperatures, but unlike previous agency statements, this one does not mention climate change—in line with the Trump administration's sweeping war on science.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

My theory that the hangover from the dotcom bust and then a lost decade post 2008 meant that managers and owners completely forgot how to operate in a tight economy where they couldn't just church people cheaply and panicked into electing Trump to bring back the times that were easier for them.
