While our current Republican leadership terrorizes the majority of humans on the planet by pretending not to believe in human-driven climate change, distressing environmental records continue being broken. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released their monthly Global Climate Report and July 2019 is the hottest on record. In the history of being able to record such things. Ever.
NOAA notes that there were record lows in sea ice this July, “running 19.8% below average – surpassing the previous historic low of July 2012.” That drop has been written about, and it is a distressing story indeed. Keep in mind that while you are reading this, there is about 33% of the voting public that either believes or doesn’t care when Donald Trump lies and says we are in a global cooling and the ice caps are not in danger.
Good news for Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump is that Russia was a couple of degrees below average. So their retirement homes seem safe.
