NASA scientists announced Wednesday that the Earth’s average surface temperature in 2018 was the fourth highest in nearly 140 years of record-keeping and a continuation of an unmistakable warming trend.
“The five warmest years have, in fact, been the last five years,” said Gavin A. Schmidt, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the NASA group that conducted the analysis. “We’re no longer talking about a situation where global warming is something in the future. It’s here. It’s now.”
Over all, 18 of the 19 warmest years have occurred since 2001.

Are you actually suggesting that the Koch Bros are funding the khallow? That khallow is taking Cock as his payment for being a shill for Kock? I, for one, did not see this coming. I assumed that khallow was one of us, a free-range libertarian, not beholden to any large petro-chemical corporations at all. But now it seems that he is joined at the dick, sucking the Kock as well as any Republican does. So sad, too bad. We expected more of you, khallow, as a Soylentil. Now nothing remains but Russians.
