Scientists say our oceans have hit their hottest recorded temperature largely because of Climate Change, with alarming implications for the planet. This week the average daily global Sea Surface Temperature hit almost 21 degrees celsius. Thats far above the average for the time of year and it beats the previous record set in 2016.

And for the last 50 or so years, theyve shown a slow but steady increase up about a third of a degree a decade. Have we got a reading for today yet, do you know .

Mr. Lauro is a real attorney, unlike some of the other attorneys trump had around him. He was a prosecutor. If he cant seem to come up with a cogent theory of the case of why donald trump was acting legally around the 2020 election in the days leading up to january 6th, because the evidence in the indictment, the allegations in that indictment are so overwhelming, theyre Hopscotching Around, hoping to find something.
