Henson expects La Niña, which is associated with cooler temperatures, to take effect later this year and subsequently reduce average temperatures.

“Even if next year doesn’t bring similar records, we know what the long term forecast is, and that’s warmer and warmer over time,” Henson said, adding: “When you turn up the burners and leave them on for a century, you’re going to see the water boil.”

When it’s 0.1 degrees cooler next year and it gets reported as a cooling trend.

Edit: I guess that quote was from the NBC article about the same, here's archive:

Trump getting immunity from the SC only to squander it by allowing discovery isn’t my first choice, but damn would that be hilarious.

I blocked them a while ago, had forgotten all about them but until this post haha. My account here is defined far more by its block list than the subs list.

I heard he aced the exam after they bandaged his ear up. Doctor said he had never seen a hearing test so perfect before. Using just his right ear they had him listen and repeat the words ‘woman, man, camera, tv.’ Doctors said, sir, that was just beautiful.

A lot of states (mine included) have already had their primaries, so if he steps aside then those states will not have had a say in selecting the democratic candidate. I’m guessing the talking point will then shift to something along the lines of ‘I didn’t get a choice in who the next candidate will be, so I’m not voting’ or calling for all states to re-run their primaries like that’s an option.

Should he decide to step aside, it’ll be fun watching the pivot from ‘Biden should step down’ to ‘how could the dnc just pick someone like that, how undemocratic!’ Same people, same agenda.

Obviously you’re acting in bad faith here, but for anyone else that sees this chain and thinks hypnoton over here isn’t full of it, here’s the first two paragraphs of the article. Long story short, he was set to give a speech at a convention, workers went on strike and everyone involved is doing the exact same thing as Biden.

A strike by the staff of the nation’s largest teachers’ union has prompted President Biden to cancel a speech on Sunday in Philadelphia, where he was scheduled to address thousands of delegates to the union’s annual convention.

The staff union of the National Education Association began its strike on Friday, citing management’s revocation of holiday overtime pay for the Fourth of July holiday and its refusal to provide information on $50 million in outsourced work that may have previously been done by N.E.A. staff. The strike has shut down the last three days of the four-day convention, as delegates declined to cross a picket line.

He’s cancelling the speech so as to not cross the picket line. In support of the union.

Not exactly a bold prediction to say Trump is gonna be racist at the debate. Kind of a free space on the bingo card at this point.
