40 DEGREES IN WINTER IN SOUTH AMERICA

Exceptional 39.8C at Puerto Suarez in BOLIVIA today,absolutely unprecedented for this time of the year and 2nd hottest August day on record (record set in 2024) ,but recorded on the 1st.

Tomorrow it might even be hotter before a cold front.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

Meinung: Kolumne zum Klimaschutz: Die Deutschen haben keineswegs die Nase voll Niemand interessiert sich mehr für die größte aller Krisen? Falsch. Das zeigen Forschungsdaten ebenso wie ein Erlebnis in meinem Motorradunterricht.

Die überwältigende Mehrheit der Menschen - in 🇩🇪 ebenso wie weltweit - wünscht sich mehr Klimaschutz. Die fossile Lobby agitiert dagegen. Auf wen hört die Politik?

Meanwhile over at the Washington Post, Bezos' remake of the editorial page is underway.

😬

Totally right — and pretty damn funny. With Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries running the show, don’t expect any grand gestures anytime soon.

“If you’re doing something right then taking your fucking mask off then”

Klimawandel: IGH ebnet Weg für Klimaklagen betroffener Länder Der Internationale Gerichtshof in Den Haag hat ein mit Spannung erwartetes Gutachten veröffentlicht. Darin nimmt er Länder beim Klimaschutz in die Pflicht.

Eines Tages wird das selbstverständlich sein: niemand darf straflos einen Schadstoff in die Atmosphäre pusten, der sich weltweit verteilt und jahrtausendelang massive Schäden verursacht. Eigentlich ein no-brainer.
Ich denke ich erlebe das noch. Sicherlich meine Kinder.

🚨🚨🚨 Jeffrey Epstein during a 2010 deposition:

Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of
18?
A: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.

Canada and Mexiko are nice countries as well. 👍
