Bubbles trapped in Antarctic ice were used to estimate past temperaturesaldiami/Andreas Alexander/Alamy Humans have already caused approximately 1.5°C of warming since the start of the industrial revolution, according to new estimates based on temperature data gleaned from bubbles of air trapped in ice. Measurements of human-caused global warming generally use the period from 1850 to 1900 as the pre-industrial baseline, since this is when temperature records began. 2024 is almost certain to be the first year where average temperatures rose more than 1.5°C above this baseline. This data for a single year is influenced by naturally occurring factors such as…

The extremists in the Democratic party not only hate Trump, but they vehemently hate his supporters. In the wake of back-to-back hurricanes, the people of Florida relied on FEMA for emergency assistance, which the agency provided with federal funds. It has come to light that an employee canvassing properties in Lake Placid, Florida, ordered workers to bypass homes with Trump-Vance signs. “Avoid homes advertising Trump,” FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington advised her employees in a Microsoft Teams chat. FEMA workers overlooked at least 20 homes, noting, “Trump sign no entry per leadership.” Washinton has since been fired but her actions are…

Even had Trump not won a modern landslide America would still be shifting away from the Democratic establishment that ran far left of its constituents. For Democrats baffled by the popularity of Donald Trump, a brief history lesson is in order. Remember 2020? A slate of far-left Democrats battled for their party’s presidential nomination, each trying to outdo the other with radical proposals as socialist Bernie Sanders threatened to win.

The European Union has supplied Ukraine with more than 980,000 shells for the war with Russia and plans to pass the 1 million mark by the end of this year, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Monday (Nov 11). The EU initially set out to supply 1 million 155-mm artillery shells by March 2024 but officials later said production capacity was insufficient to meet the target. “I know that we made a commitment to reach this level by spring – and we failed. But we can do it by the end of the year,” Borrell told Ukraine’s European…
Since former United States President Donald Trump’s election victory, many observers have predicted that his administration would be far worse for Palestine and the Middle East. His pro-Israel rhetoric and threats to bomb Iran, they say, point to his foreign policy intentions. Yet a closer look at US foreign policy over the past eight years reveals that nothing fundamental will change for the Palestinian people and the region as a whole. This is because President Joe Biden’s administration in effect continued the policies of the first Trump presidency without major changes. Although there may be surprises and unexpected developments, the…
