The intense scrutiny that the rising temperature of the Earth’s oceans and atmosphere is receiving raises an important question, and interesting, it doesn’t concern the current temperature, which modern science has nailed with great precision. Rather, it’s this: What were the temperatures in the late 19th Century, when readings first took place?
As it turns out, there were various ways of taking ocean water onboard sea-going vessels that led to significantly different findings. As a result, one group of climate scientists found the planet has warmed 1.34° C over the 1850-1900 average, whereas another found temperatures had risen 1.54° C.
It’s possible that Americans are so angry that the Trump administration has ruined their country and its democracy that paid advertising for Republican candidates is having no effect on them.
We can only hope.
Obviously, the endorsement of a much-despised president didn’t help, but what chance did this election-denying moron actually have in a sophisticated state like Minnesota?
One good thing about having Trump in the White House is that doesn’t have enough sense to hide what a terrible person he is.
We all recall the COVID-19 outbreak, and Trump’s suggestion that we reduce our testing for the disease on the basis that less testing means fewer positive results, which means less outrage on the level of Trump’s ineptitude in handling the epidemic.
