Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

The OVER is going to win this year, based on my OVER/UNDER line of 1.45°C for 2025.

And if another El Nino comes to pass, then 1.60°C should be in the rear view window for 2026. That would make 2026, in scientific lingo, a "bad hair year."

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits.

Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.
