We are turning Earth into a unlivable Hot House Earth
Earth was about 2.65 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 1.47 degrees Celsius) warmer in 2024 than in the late 19th-century (1850-1900) preindustrial average.
The 10 most recent years are the warmest on record.

My cat, Aya, was recently found to have labs suggestive of Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) - a severe neutropenia and several other markers of bone marrow dysfunction. No vet ever explained the necessity of vaccinating for FeLV, but make sure your cats get vaccinated!
