And over here, children, we see the three-year running mean global surface temperature anomaly reaching a new record high.
And over there, look children, it's a category 5 hurricane devastating Jamaica.

French pharmacies run out of Covid tests as cases soar.
Up to 150,000 COVID ‘auto-tests’ were sold last week amid a surge linked to the new XFG variant.
Self-tests give results in 15 mins but are only ~70% accurate, meaning 3 in 10 positive cases could be missed.

So Weiss will remain editor in chief and CEO of The Free Press and editor in chief of CBS News, so they’re not hiding the conflict here? The head of CBS News, supposedly impartial and nonpartisan, will also simultaneously be running a highly partisan site.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.
Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

Here's an update on the global monthly surface temperature anomaly, with data from 1940 through September 2025 (to date).
The recent cooling trend has pushed the official passing of the Paris limit of 1.5°C to late 2026 or early 2027. The Climate 8-Ball is taking the under.

Yet another day of dreadful air quality courtesy of the Canadian wildfires. I’m new to MN, but long timers have said that poor air quality has only been an issue the past 2-3 years. The science is abundantly clear that the unprecedented fires are due to climate change. Hotter & drier=bigger fires.
