Holiday U.S. warmth boosted by climate change

The U.S. has had a fairly chilly December so far, but things are heating up for the holidays. Christmas is expected to be exceptionally warm across a majority of the United States, particularly the Great Plains.

A Climate Central analysis shows that this unusual holiday warmth, running 20°F to 35°F above average, is at least two to three times more likely to occur due to human-caused carbon pollution.

See, the chilly December was also caused by you driving a fossil fueled vehicle. Nutters

Extinction Rebellion protest criticises inaction over 1.5C climate change target

Extinction Rebellion protesters have targeted several sites in central London in a dramatic warning about global warming targets being missed.

Members of the campaign group gathered outside 55 Tufton Street in Westminster on Saturday morning holding signs reading “1.5 is dead” and “tell the truth”, calling for urgent action to limit the risk of rising temperatures.

The office includes the headquarters of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, a think tank that aims to combat what it sees as harmful climate policies.

So, they were protesting their own fellow cultists?

The protesters, some of whom were dressed in long black gowns and white face paint, while others held pink flags bearing the group’s X logo, also walked around Whitehall near the Ministry of Defence headquarters, and paused near the Houses of Parliament.
