Every country is warming.
The last three years have recorded annual temperatures at or above 1.5°C
Some reports show an 86% probability of exceeding 1.5°C for at least one year before 2030
There is also a 70% chance that the average temperature between 2025–2029 will exceed 1.5°C

Here's a thought. The Venezuelan Deputy President was in Russia when it all went down, and zero Russian operatives were casualties in the assault. So who was involved in planning exactly? Also, the Cubans have clearly been abandoned by their allies. The deal is not hard to see.

Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

There’s a simple reform the federal government could introduce to bring house prices down.
