Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race.
Would be a shame if people found out.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Fun Aurora fact. The reason folks are seeing red/purple Aurora is that the current storm is strong enough that it's pushing deep (<90km) into the atmosphere & interacting with nitrogen. The "regular" green Aurora is due to interaction with higher level oxygen
