Good morning! Well, it’s Monday, so how about just a “morning” until my coffee kicks in? Speaking of coffee, ASAP Science released the video below over the weekend. It’s not particularly relevant to anything we’re studying right now, but it is educational and scientific.
And now for the less good news: Global warming is likely to continue unabated, at least for the foreseeable future of our lifetimes.
