Remember Tiffany Henyard? The embattled Mayor of a Chicago suburb that pretty much defrauded the city? She lost re-election in 2025 and moved out of the state shortly thereafter.

She landed in Georgia, became a Republican, and is now running for Fulton County Commissioner!

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

World faces oil surplus in 2025 on weak demand, IEA says Global oil supply will exceed demand in 2025 even if OPEC+ cuts remain in place, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday, as rising production from the United States and other outside producers outpaces sluggish demand.

IEA: rising clean energy supply cuts global #oil demand. "Rapid deployment of clean energy technologies is also increasingly displacing oil in transport and power generation, adding downward pressure to otherwise weak demand drivers.” @Reuters www.reuters.com/business/ene... #energy
