We have had some and those were greatly appreciated, but overall not very many. While January is never as good as December, it has always been quite a bit better than we are seeing right now.

Trump, who reputedly has a void where the normal quotient of human empathy might be - don't give it a second's thought.

Dear Friend, Last week, at a New Orleans conference center that once doubled as a storm shelter for thousands during Hurricane Katrina, a group of polar scientists made a startling declaration: The Arctic as we once knew it is no more. The region is now definitively trending toward an ice-free state, the scientists said, with wide-ranging ramifications for ecosystems, national security, and the stability of the global climate system. Fifteen thousand scientists have issued a dire warning to humanity about impending collapse but virtually no-one takes notice.
