Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.

It should be obvious by now that we cannot make the future of human civilisation dependent on whether the fossil fuel vendors vote for ending fossil fuel use.
Rather, it is up to those who buy fossil fuels to end their lethal addiction fast, before it is too late.

Does ADHD cause learning difficulties?
RI-CLPMs show:
• no cross-lagged effects with reading fluency or arithmetic
• consistent effects from ADHD to later reading comprehension
Shared risk factors explain most overlap—except for comprehension, where ADHD predicts slower growth.
