Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C,
leading scientists warn
Posted By: snakeoil, 6/19/2025 12:45:51 AM
The Earth could be doomed to breach the symbolic 1.5C warming limit in as little as three years at current levels of carbon dioxide emissions. That's the stark warning from more than 60 of the world's leading climate scientists in the most up-to-date assessment of the state of global warming. Nearly 200 countries agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C above levels of the late 1800s in a landmark agreement in 2015, with the aim of avoiding some of the worst impacts of climate change.

When Beverly Morris retired in 2016, she thought she had found her dream home - a peaceful stretch of rural Georgia, surrounded by trees and quiet. Today, it's anything but. Just 400 yards (366m) from her front porch in Mansfield, Georgia, sits a large, windowless building filled with servers, cables, and blinking lights. It's a data centre - one of many popping up across small-town America, and around the globe, to power everything from online banking to artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt if it is “worthwhile” for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to consider holding denaturalization proceedings against New York City’s Democratic presumptive mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. Republican Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles requested that the DOJ investigate whether Mamdani should be subject to denaturalization proceedings over a rap song where he allegedly expressed support for individuals convicted of terrorism-related crimes and for his refusal to condemn the phrase, “globalize the intifada.”

"Your brother is a hero." This is what Emad was told after finding out his brother had been killed in a suicide explosion at a church in the Syrian capital of Damascus. His brother, Milad, and two others had tried to push the suicide attacker out of the church building. He was killed instantly – alongside 24 other members of the congregation. Another 60 people were injured in the attack at Greek Orthodox Church of the Prophet Elias, in the eastern Damascus suburb of Dweila on 22 June.
The Democratic Socialist Party

Woe to the Democrat Party. The once unified Democrat Party has fractured. They lost the 2024 election by a landslide. They even lost the popular vote, only the second time since 1988. The majority of men have taken their vote to the Republican Party. Hispanics now vote GOP, and Blacks?...they have split wide open, no longer a reliable Dem vote. Of the 14 states that do not require voter ID, Harris won 12 of them. Trump lost Colorado, but they say they require ID but don't require a photo ID. Pretty thin accomplishment.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Streisand revealed that she is teaming with artists including Sting, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Seal, and newcomers such as Icelandic pop star Laufey. But amid her efforts to tout her new album, Streisand could not resist popping off about the evils of Donald Trump — one of her favorite topics. The Yentl star told the AP that she has ongoing mental distress over the Trump administration. She even claimed that her worries about Trump may have caused her to pick some of the darker songs for her new album.
The Supreme Court decisively ended lower courts’ ability to block policies issued by the Trump administration using nationwide injunctions on Friday.
In a 6-3 ruling, the majority found that lower courts exceeded their authority by issuing a nationwide block on President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions.
“The injunctions before us today reflect a more recent development: district courts asserting the power to prohibit enforcement of a law or policy against anyone,”
Peter Orszag, a businessman and ex-Obama official, claimed Thursday that the Democratic Party was in peril of becoming an anti-capitalist and antisemitic party.
Orzag spoke with CNBC in the aftermath of Democratic New York Assemblyman Zohran Mandani winning the Democratic New York City mayoral primary election. Mandani was endorsed by the New York City Democratic Socialists of America.
“Let me step back and just say that I am saddened to say that I think the Democratic Party is becoming increasingly antisemitic and anti-capitalism,” Orszag said. “And the thing about it is turning … towards socialism and turning away from your moral principles through antisemitism never works."
On his first day in office — of his second term, not his wasted first term — President Trump signed an executive order ending anchor babies, the practice of treating kids born to illegals on U.S. soil as full-fledged citizens. (Apparently, our Founding Fathers wanted to ensure that poverty-stricken third-worlders who force their way into our country would never have to leave.) Three federal district court judges promptly issued (you’ll never guess) nationwide injunctions blocking Trump’s order. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on those injunctions any day now. It may be that the anchor baby lunacy is . . .
One of the Nation’s largest all-women’s colleges has been hit with a civil rights complaint for allegedly allowing men to be admitted to the school and preventing students from speaking out. Smith College’s admission policy allows anyone who claims to “identify” as a woman to be eligible to apply, the federal complaint filed by Defending Education (DE) states. The school also maintains a “Bias Response Team” which is tasked with responding to incidents of “bigotry, harassment or intimidation” based on characteristics such as “gender identity” and “gender expression.”

A former staffer for former Presidents Bill Clinton and Joe Biden admitted Sunday that former Vice President Kamala Harris would not have displayed “the courage or fortitude” to take out Iran’s nuclear program. The United States struck sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan related to Iran’s effort to develop nuclear weapons early Sunday morning, using as many as 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators in the operation. Jamie Metzl, who served on the National Security Council staff during the Clinton administration and as a Senate staffer for Biden, said that while he backed Harris in the 2024 campaign, he was not a “blind tribalist” in a Sunday morning post on X.
We Have No Idea Where This War Will Go

After days of publicly mulling whether to join Israel in its military campaign against Iran, President Trump directed the U.S. military on Saturday to execute a complex attack on three of the nation’s nuclear sites with several American warplanes and submarines. Hours later, Mr. Trump declared the mission a “spectacular military success,” saying during a national address from the White House that U.S. forces had “completely and totally obliterated,” Iran’s nuclear program. “There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close,” he said, standing in front of Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
US President Donald Trump says American warplanes have bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing war between Iran and Israel. "Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight was the most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the most lethal," the president said in a brief televised address to the American people. "But if peace doesn't come quickly we will go to those other targets with precision, speed and skill."

The Judicial Coup Is Collapsing

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.

The man whose account of Michael Brown’s death ignited the false “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative was shot and killed Sunday morning in Ferguson, Missouri. Dorian Johnson, 33, died after being struck in a shooting around 8:30 a.m., according to Ferguson police. The incident occurred less than a mile from where Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Brown on Aug. 9, 2014, KMOV reported. Johnson was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries, police said. One suspect was taken into custody, and charges have been submitted to the St. Louis County Prosecutor’s Office, KMOV reported.
Stephen King seems to have replaced his talent for weaving chilling tales with an unhealthy obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. Instead of focusing on novels, King has turned himself into yet another left-wing pundit who just happens to have a long list of bestsellers on his résumé.
And while his books used to inspire genuine fear, his political predictions are now nothing more than laughable, partisan nonsense. His latest declaration is so ridiculous, it proves just how consumed he’s become with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.
President Donald Trump is still facing a $83.3 million payment to writer E. Jean Carroll after a federal appeals court rejected his challenge of a defamation verdict against him Monday.
The ruling from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholds a lower court decision finding that Trump did, in fact, defame Carroll. Trump's lawyers argued his comments about Carroll were protected by presidential immunity and that the verdict in the case was unjust. The three-judge panel rejected both of those claims.
"We conclude that Trump has failed to identify any grounds that would warrant reconsidering our prior holding on presidential immunity. We also conclude that the district court did not err
Democrats in Congress have released a note allegedly signed by US President Donald Trump and sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.
Lawyers for Epstein's estate sent documents to the House Oversight Committee after they were subpoenaed last month.
Democratic members of the committee posted a copy of the alleged letter, which features a drawing of a woman's body, on X on Monday.
"President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it," the White House said.
Letitia James’s New York State mortgage records indicate that she committed mortgage fraud on a $200,000 “Credit Line Mortgage” with Citizens Bank in 2021.
Like other mortgages, it requires a signed note, a mortgage document, and recording with the county clerk.
The mortgage document shows that James misrepresented her five-unit apartment building as a single-family dwelling.
This false claim allowed James to avoid significantly higher commercial loan closing costs and a higher interest rate.
As RedState reported, the Trump administration scored a big win on Monday, with the Supreme Court staying a lower court ruling barring ICE from conducting immigration stops without probable cause. The original decision, which came from Biden-appointed California District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, was spawned after a series of high-profile raids carried out in Los Angeles.
At the time, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) proclaimed that "justice has prevailed." I suspect he won't be quite as optimistic about or respectful of the Supreme Court's latest smackdown. Of course, this decision wasn't unanimous. As expected, the three liberal justices went the other way,
Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) There is a lot of darkness out there. I've been wrestling with what to say to kick this off; something deep and insightful. Really, all I want to do is punch something. The nightmarish video from Charlotte, N.C., of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska being murdered by a psychopath who was roaming freely thanks to the Democrats' violent felon fetish is sickening and infuriating.
Hence the desire to punch something.

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a civil jury’s finding that President Donald Trump must pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for his repeated social media attacks and public statements against the longtime advice columnist after she accused him of sexual assault. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s appeal of the defamation award, finding that the “jury’s damages awards are fair and reasonable.” “The record in this case supports the district court’s determination that the ‘the degree of reprehensibility’ of Mr. Trump’s conduct was remarkably high, perhaps unprecedented,”
The Trump administration used a drone strike to eliminate what it says was a Venezuelan boat filled with narcotics last week. When Vice President J.D. Vance applauded the operation as the “highest and best use of our military,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., compared the strike to a lynching.
After a left-wing social media reply guy calling the strike a “war crime,” Vance replied back, “I don’t give a (site censored) what you call it,” which triggered Paul’s bizarre comparison to lynch mobs in the Jim Crow South.

Police released mugshots of the two 17-year-olds accused in the June shooting death of a Capitol Hill intern in Washington, D.C. The victim, 21-year-old University of Massachusetts Amherst student Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, an intern for Rep. Ron Estes, R-Kan., was fatally shot June 30 about a mile from the White House. Suspects Kelvin Thomas Jr., of Southeast D.C., and Jailen Lucas, of Northwest D.C., are pictured in mugshots obtained by FOX5 DC. The two were arrested Friday and charged as adults with premeditated first-degree murder while armed.
And just like that, it's over for the Dems in the 2026 midterms. Maybe even the 2028 general election. Maybe this is even the final nail in their creaky, splintering, mentally ill, Marxist coffin.
Right now, they're trying to ignore it, the way they tried to pretend Hunter Biden's laptop didn't exist back in 2020. They were successful enough that time to push their vote machine over the finish line in Biden/Harris's favor, but that won't happen this time. This story, this image, is already out there.
Still, they're trying to ignore it, hoping it goes away: The only explanation I've seen anywhere is,
