Good Morning. It's 65 Degrees in Antarctica.

You could be walking around Antarctica in a T-shirt.

A record-breaking temperature reading taken at an Argentinian research station on the continent Thursday clocked in at 18.3 degrees Celsius — 65 degrees Fahrenheit — warmer than it is right now in Orlando, Florida, and the hottest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica.

The reading was from a station on Esperanza, the peninsula on the northern tip of Antarctica that’s been recording temperature data since 1961. As the planet heats, the poles are getting hotter way faster than the rest of the world. Hotter temperatures mean melting ice, which makes sea levels rise and threatens populations and economies around the world.

The U.N. is aiming to keep global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius. Already, the world has warmed by about 1 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels. But at the poles, things are heating up way faster. There, it’s warmed by more than 3 degrees. And records are continuously being broken at a rate that has even scientists alarmed.

The last record-breaking temperature reading in Esperanza was taken only five years ago, on March 24, 2015. Then it was 17.5 degrees Celsius, about 63 degrees Fahrenheit. Thursday’s reading broke that record by nearly a full degree.

I still find it interesting that most Biden supporters have Sanders as their second choice

I think Bloomberg is laying the groundwork for 2024 in the event Dems lose

I think Dems will win this year but beating an incumbent with a "good economy" is not going to be easy. If Sanders gets the nomination and loses then there will be a lot of pressure to go back to a more moderate candidate. Bloomberg would probably step into the number one position if that situation unfolds. Let's hope we don't have to look at Bloomberg again until 2028!

If Civil War Reenactments Were Honest - Key & Peele

Can a Democratic President take the Medal of Freedom away from the racist?

That would be extremely satisfying to see Trump's face if that could happen. Everyone knows it's ridiculous and offensive. It needs to be pulled even though Rush will likely be gone by then.

Poll: 62 percent say they will 'absolutely' vote in 2020 election

One thing that might happen this year is for those who thought Hillary had it in the bag will not take any chances this year.


A majority — 62 percent of registered — say are “absolutely certain” about taking part in November’s election, according to a new Hill-HarrisX poll released on Thursday.

The nationwide poll also showed that 23 percent were “very likely” to vote in the upcoming presidential election, while 9 percent said it is possible they will vote and just 6 percent who said that they were “not very likely” to participate.

Though strong majorities across party lines said they planned to vote, Democrats were slightly more likely to say that they were heading to the ballot box.

Of those surveyed, 68 percent of Democratic voters said they would vote in November, compared to 64 percent of GOP voters and 54 percent of independent voters.

If Republicans are this upset about someone ripping up a piece of paper, can you imagine how upset

they would be if Nancy had asked a foreign Gov to investigate Trump and she had withheld support until she got what she asked for?

Attention European Countries That Hate Trump

So Sanders won 98% of every Latino Satellite Caucus

Thoughts?

We should be using clips from Reagan's budget director calling Trump an economic ignoramus

In this falls attack ads on Trump. He really makes Trump sound like a fool!
